Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE SHOW! Tonight, 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET: Mark Sanborn On How To Live, Work, And Be Extraordinary
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.
Unlike the guests on almost all of my shows, my guest tonight is actually not a scientist -- he's business consultant, public speaker, and best-selling author Mark Sanborn.
But, this is the second time I've made an exception and had him on the show, because his thinking is so extraordinary, inspiring, and helpful.
To bring up that word again -- "extraordinary" -- being extraordinary means being a stand-out person in your work, friendships, and relationships. We tend to think being that is either something you're born with or you're not. But Sanborn will show you tonight that this isn't the case.
He'll explain why "extraordinary" is something you can choose to be, and explain how to recalibrate your thinking so you can achieve and maintain that. As for why to do this, his books and this show should make very clear that living "extraordinary" is living and working fulfilled in a way that living ordinary just can't meet.
Last time Mark was on the show, he discussed his New York Times best-seller, "The Fred Factor: How Passion in Your Work and Life Can Turn the Ordinary into the Extraordinary." It was inspired by his postman, a guy named Fred, who used creativity and conscientiousness to become probably the best postman anybody has ever had or will have.
Mark Sanborn's very helpful new book that we'll be discussing on tonight's show is "Fred 2.0: New ideas on how to keep delivering extraordinary results."

Don't miss last week's show with Dr. Randy Paterson, "How And Why To Be Assertive."
Assertiveness isn't about "building a good disguise," Dr. Randy Paterson explains. "It's about the courage to take the disguise off." It's "about being THERE."
Paterson, a clinical psychologist, is the author of the excellent book I've recommended in my column, "The Assertiveness Workbook: How To Express Your Ideas and Stand Up for Yourself at Work and in Relationships," and that's exactly what he and I will be laying out on tonight's show.
Paterson takes a very rational, behavioral approach and gives extremely practical tips for how to change, and this show should help even already-assertive people notice and shore up areas where they could do better.
