Book excerpt: "Stop Playing Small: An A to Z Guide to Living Your Bigger, Better Life" provides an alphabetical listing of the key terms every reader should have in his or her tool kit for living a life of greater satisfaction, depth, breadth, and meaning. Many readers use the book on a daily basis, exploring a new term each day to gather daily inspiration. Or, having a particular need, they may turn to the fully cross-referenced index for the term or terms describing their immediate situation or challenge, and gain new perspective on what they face. And many read the book cover to cover, gaining an ever-growing understanding of the ideas, tactics, and strategies they can access to find greater success in the business of living. Written by Leadership and Performance Coach Mark Rothman, "Stop Playing Small: An A to Z Guide to Living Your Bigger, Better Life" uses wisdom from many sources, as well as examples from his experience with one-on-one coaching and facilitating coaching circles and group experiences, to demonstrate how our internal stories shape our progress through life. The stories we tell ourselves determine whether we will move forward, headlong into our biggest and best lives, or shrink back and stay small and confined. By understanding key terms that narrate life, readers discover new ways to ratchet down the magnitude and power of stories of self-criticism, and cut open new windows through obstacles of which many readers are not even aware. "Stop Playing Small" offers tools to liberate readers to live the better life, the one each reader was born to live. "Stop Playing Small: An A to Z Guide to Living Your Bigger, Better Life" will help readers understand what it means to live a bigger, better life. This fully-expressed life begins with appreciating the life they live right now, but take for granted. They will understand how, if life were a movie, the stories readers tell themselves may summarize only those plot points in which the hero -- the reader -- failed. Too often, readers will learn, they omit, or at least downplay, the happy endings they also experience. Readers will discover their 'better' lives as they begin to revise these stories, based on what they learn from "Stop Playing Small." Readers will begin to experience that 'better' happens whenever they can expand into the space the Universe holds out for them and begs them to fill. The more we can inhabit this space, the more we will live a complete and fulfilling life. In turn, readers will see themselves more frequently meeting their own standards, and enjoying the growth of self-esteem that comes from new levels of personal effectiveness. "Stop Playing Small" helps us eliminate stories of limitation and scarcity. Readers will learn the world is abundant and limitless, and they are, too. Fulfilling this 'better' life means living a life in process. Readers will come to understand how to live in the process of continual learning, continual growth, and continual striving to do a little better today than he or she did yesterday. As "Stop Playing Small" shows, progress in this process is not measured by the terms or standards of others. It is an internal experience and a mental commitment, a set of intentions that, when fulfilled, increases their power and, subsequently, their own satisfaction with their lives. "Stop Playing Small" will help readers see how they can fully embrace this process, and infuse their lives with the energy of expansion. They will experience more joy as they see their stories start to have happier endings."Stop Playing Small: An A to Z Guide to Living Your Bigger, Better Life" combines sources from many wisdom traditions, the inspiration of famous leaders, popular culture, and transformative thoughts from 12 step programs, mythology, literature and poetry to help readers discover new pathways to living the life they want to live. Even more, they will begin living the life they were born to live.
