World-renowned expert Joe Caruso was named one of the 50 Most Influential Minds in Personal Development, and both Joe and his books have been heralded by psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts as leading authorities on individual and organizational behavior.

 

The Power of Losing Control has touched millions of people, both in their personal and professional lives. Written in Joe’s warm personal style with stories that help you shift your perspective, this book will help you learn how to find the power in any situation, even though you don’t have control over it.

Our willingness to acknowledge the things we cannot control, and focus our energy on those things we can influence, is inextricably linked to our happiness and success in life. Based on years of study of the greatest philosophers, thinkers and psychoanalytic experts of all time and inspired by a battle with cancer at a young age, author Joe Caruso distills the essence of the simple, common, timeless human truths elemental to our existence in this very enjoyable book. 

Written in Joe’s warm, engaging style, The Power of Losing Control offers unique, valuable, and usable insights and strategies to living a meaningful and satisfying life. While many self-help and personal development books deal with external strategies, like time-management or setting priorities, this book goes straight to the source—our inner selves—and points out some of the simplest strategies and insights can have the biggest impact, such as Ten Attitudes and Ideas to Let Go Of, the Four Rules of Engagement, and the Five Stages of Wisdom. “We are the stories we tell ourselves we are,” and Caruso clearly embraces his approaches in his own life, making this book a credible, reliable way to help shift our perspective and open our eyes to our own reality. A great book to listen to.

The Principles of Authentic Power personal development audiobook cover

The Priniciples of
Authentic Power

Learn the art of strategic surrender and get more of what you want with half the effort. This audiobook shows you the best way to obtain happiness. The present moment is all we really have, and Joe will teach you how to live each and every moment to the fullest.

A leader in personal development, this compelling audio program has over five hours of authentic power teachings by Joe Caruso, author of multiple powerful books and named one of the 50 Most Influential Minds in Personal Development.

At the root of Joe's work is the understanding that despite the fact that we live in a high-tech world designed to organize and structure our lives down to the last detail, the world we live in is also out of control. Despite any illusions, we actually have no control over anything—except ourselves and the way we react to the events of our lives. Therein lies authentic power. Developing authentic power lies in the wisdom of making clear distinctions between what you can control, what you can merely influence, and what you need to simply accept. When we stop wasting energy trying to make the world and other people be the way we want them to be, we can tap into that energy and focus it on ways that will give us more peace, happiness, and personal satisfaction.

In The Principles of Authentic Power, you'll learn:

  • How to find power in every situation, even if you don't have control over it.

  • The Five Steps to Wisdom and how to make them work for you.

  • The Four Rules of Engagement - how to make connections that count.

  • Why we are the stories we tell ourselves we are.

  • The power of context - how a shift in perception can alleviate any negativity.

  • The greatest antidote to fear and how to use it.

  • How possessing authentic power is linked to our willingness to let go.

  • Choosing your battles wisely and recognizing the ones you were never meant to win.

  • Control vs. influence in your primary and secondary worlds.

  • Achieving true peace by letting go of 10 debilitating attitudes.

  • Cherishing the chase as much as the trophy.

  • How to leave a great legacy.
