The Flip Side
If I asked you what one thing determines your level of ultimate success, what would your answer be? Your talent? Skills? A college degree?""Is it possible that something else will define how far you go in life? Could it be that the things that hold you back-or constrain you-are a far more reliable indicator of your success than any skills or talent you may possess? Would you choose to break free of your personal constraints if I could show you what and where they are? If you answered yes to these questions, then The Flip Side is for you."What if you learned a way to "flip" your negative thoughts and behaviors into positive action? Educator, psychotherapist and business coach Flip Flippen believes that if we can identify our own personal constraints, we can overcome them once and for all. In THE FLIP SIDE, you'll discover the top ten "killer constraints" that most of us are confronted with every day-in ourselves, in our bosses, in our families. Learn how to recognize and deal with constraint types such as: *BULLDOZERS-they are too dominant, flattening any objections and ignoring any opinion that doesn't match theirs. *BULLDOZERS-they are too dominant, flattening any objections and ignoring any opinion that doesn't match theirs. *MARSHMALLOWS-they are overly nurturing, shying away from conflict at the expense of their own happiness. *QUICK DRAWS-they are impulsive, and their low self-control causes them to act before they think. But here's the good news: each of these constraints can be conquered with a few simple strategies. For anyone who has ever wondered, "How can I accomplish more, both personally and professionally?" and "How can I get better, go further, and be happier?," THE FLIP SIDE has the answer.

Breaking The Bamboo Ceiling
You're educated and ambitious. Sure, the hours are long and corporate politics are a bane, but you focus on getting the job done, confident that you will be rewarded in the long run. Yet, somehow, your hard work isn't paying off, and you watch from the sidelines as your colleagues get promoted. Those who make it to management positions in this intensely competitive corporate environment seem to understand an unwritten code for marketing and aligning themselves politically. Furthermore, your strong work ethic and raw intelligence were sufficient when you started at the firm, but now they're expecting you to be a rainmaker who can "bring in clients" and "exert influence" on others. The top of the career ladder seems beyond your reach. Perhaps you've hit the bamboo ceiling. For the last decade, Asian Americans have been the fastest growing population in the United States. Asians comprise the largest college graduate population in America, and are often referred to as the "Model Minority"

The Goal
The book tells us the story of a plant manager, Alex Rogo, who is trying to save his plant, at least show some improvements within 90 days to keep it open. Alex's primary problem is that his plant can not consistently get a quality product out of the plant on time at the cost that can beat the competition. His plant is losing money and if he cannot make it profitable, the management eventually will decide to close the plant. In his fight to save his plant, a physician, Jonah, helps him in achieving his objectives. Alex, with the help of Jonah, finds that the goal of a manufacturing organization and all organizations in general is to make money. Jonah explains the measurements which express the goal of making money in a different way. These measurements are: Throughput Inventory, and Operational expense Throughput is defined as the rate at which the system generates money through sales. Inventory is all the money that the system has invested in purchasing things which intends to sell, and operational expense is all the money the system spends in order to turn inventory into throughput. Then it turns out that the goal of an organization is to increase throughput while simultaneously reducing both inventory and operating expense. To help Alex in achieving his goals and solving problems in his plant in terms of the measurements which express the goal of making money, Jonah introduces him the theory of constraints. Theory of constraints approach includes the following steps to improve the performance of a system: Identify the system's constraint(s) Decide how to exploit the system's constraint(s) Subordinate everything else to exploit the constraint(s) Elevate the system's constraint(s) If in the previous steps a constraint has been broken, go back to step 1, but do not allow inertia to cause a system's constraint.

Yoga
Children, more than adults, are highly susceptible to falling prey to contagious diseases. A major factor that leads to an increase in the number of ailments afflicting school-going children in particular is stress; whether it is related to a child's studies, peer-pressure or home. This and several other factors contribute in weakening a child's immune system, which can lead to serious health issues. Not only this, growing children, especially those in their teens, are often plagued with skin-related problems like acne and pimples which can prove to be quite traumatic for a young mind. Yoga for Schoolchildren is quite what the doctor would have prescribed in such a situation. It offers yogic asanas which help address all these problems and more. These asanas are easy to perform and do not take up too much of a child's time or energy. What's more, they help children lead a healthy lifestyle which enables them to grow up into healthy, confident adults.
