From kids heading straight to Wall Street after college, to those sleeping on it, Sher asks: “Who are you; what should you do; and how can you step into your destiny as a stakeholder in society?”

Anyone can start to live a more simplified lifestyle if they are genuinely ready for a drastic change in their lives! Being a minimalist is not just about throwing out old belongings that you have collected over the years. It is a mindset and a change of pace! While the de-cluttering of your precious living space is a crucial step in the process, once you start to rid your life of unnecessary items, a spark will ignite, and you will ask, "What else is dragging me down?"

As women, sometimes we find it hard to balance life with the many roles we have.

Each one is guaranteed to motivate, inspire, and empower women from all walks of life.

Once upon a time, people wrote fables featuring untrustworthy ravens, wicked wolves, insincere monkeys, and power-hungry lions.

But what's that you say? You feel as though you're surrounded by just these sorts of characters at work? Well, you're not alone.

From ancient heroes like Odysseus and Alexander the Great to modern heroes like Nelson Mandela and Bill Gates, the people who stand out for their accomplishments have many talents and qualities in common. For example, Odysseus was known for his cleverness. His idea to hide some Greek soldiers inside a wooden horse and present that wooden horse as a gift to the citizens of Troy turned what had been an embarrassing defeat for the Greek armies into a decisive victory over Troy.

When it comes to negotiation, there is an ugly double standard. As women, if we make concessions to further a deal, we're viewed as weak. But if we play hardball, we can be seen as overly aggressive - and the strategy backfires. No wonder most women hate negotiating.

Author Johnathan Borschkey brings his biting wit and not-so-common sense to his latest title: Kill Your ISMs. Inside, he examines the result of what happens when you choose to surrender your brain to the people who claim to have a monopoly on the one true thought system for living out the rest of your days.

Such fundamental questions have fascinated philosophers, theologians, and scientists over thousands of years. Cosmic Musings author Professor Larry Bell explores a literal universe of possibilities revealed through his provocatively thoughtful lifelong tour of diverse teachings and theories dating from Aristotle to leading contemporary thought leaders.
