Book excerpt: We live our lives word by word—to build our relationships, to convey our points of view, to object to wrongs done to us or to others, to comfort our children and our friends.

Covey points out in his introduction: Words sell and words repel Words lead and words impede Words heal and words kill Kevin hall discovered the deeper power inherent in words after a fateful encounter with a wise shopkeeper in Vienna. When that led to an introduction to an esteemed etymologist residing in a senior home, hall embarked on a project that changed his life, and has since changed the lives of thousands of readers. Discover the eleven words—as well as the secret word—that when used correctly, can light your path to the lifelong success you deserve.

Download or read book DIY U written by Anya Kamenetz and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The price of college tuition has increased more than any other major good or service for the last twenty years. Nine out of ten American high school seniors aspire to go to college, yet the United States has fallen from world leader to only the tenth most educated nation. Almost half of college students don't graduate; those who do have unprecedented levels of federal and private student loan debt, which constitutes a credit bubble similar to the mortgage crisis. The system particularly fails the first-generation, the low-income, and students of color who predominate in coming generations. What we need to know is changing more quickly than ever, and a rising tide of information threatens to swamp knowledge and wisdom. America cannot regain its economic and cultural leadership with an increasingly ignorant population. Our choice is clear: Radically change the way higher education is delivered, or resign ourselves to never having enough of it. The roots of the words "university" and "college" both mean community. In the age of constant connectedness and social media, it's time for the monolithic, millennium-old, ivy-covered walls to undergo a phase change into something much lighter, more permeable, and fluid. The future lies in personal learning networks and paths, learning that blends experiential and digital approaches, and free and open-source educational models. Increasingly, you will decide what, when, where, and with whom you want to learn, and you will learn by doing. The university is the cathedral of modernity and rationality, and with our whole civilization in crisis, we are poised on the brink of Reformation.
Download or read book From Higher Aims to Hired Hands written by Rakesh Khurana and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-22 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is management a profession? Should it be? Can it be? This major work of social and intellectual history reveals how such questions have driven business education and shaped American management and society for more than a century. The book is also a call for reform. Rakesh Khurana shows that university-based business schools were founded to train a professional class of managers in the mold of doctors and lawyers but have effectively retreated from that goal, leaving a gaping moral hole at the center of business education and perhaps in management itself. Khurana begins in the late nineteenth century, when members of an emerging managerial elite, seeking social status to match the wealth and power they had accrued, began working with major universities to establish graduate business education programs paralleling those for medicine and law. Constituting business as a profession, however, required codifying the knowledge relevant for practitioners and developing enforceable standards of conduct. Khurana, drawing on a rich set of archival material from business schools, foundations, and academic associations, traces how business educators confronted these challenges with varying strategies during the Progressive era and the Depression, the postwar boom years, and recent decades of freewheeling capitalism. Today, Khurana argues, business schools have largely capitulated in the battle for professionalism and have become merely purveyors of a product, the MBA, with students treated as consumers. Professional and moral ideals that once animated and inspired business schools have been conquered by a perspective that managers are merely agents of shareholders, beholden only to the cause of share profits. According to Khurana, we should not thus be surprised at the rise of corporate malfeasance. The time has come, he concludes, to rejuvenate intellectually and morally the training of our future business leaders.

Book excerpt: Many aspire to have more in their lives, but what is more? More is relative. One person's mountainous goal may be just a slight rise on the horizon for another. Lofty aspirations for one might be the bare minimum for another. More seems to depend upon the perception of the seeker. We all allow our internal filters to prevent us from getting what we really want out of both our professional and personal lives. Ole Carlson will help you break that restrictive pattern through a inspiring plan for achieving more--more time, more money, more life.In Aspire, Carlson dissects the success-creation process and lays out simple methods to help you overcome your self-made limitations. You will learn how to live the life you desire--and deserve. By applying the law of attraction and the manifestation trilogy, a three-step transformative process of personal growth, you can apply the laws of the universe to work in your favor. And Carlson can show you how.Based largely on anecdotes from the author's own extraordinary life and inspired by teachers ranging from the Buddha to Tony Robbins, Aspire will guide you in your quest for more.

Download or read book An Elegant Puzzle written by Will Larson and published by Stripe Press. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A human-centric guide to solving complex problems in engineering management, from sizing teams to handling technical debt. There’s a saying that people don’t leave companies, they leave managers. Management is a key part of any organization, yet the discipline is often self-taught and unstructured. Getting to the good solutions for complex management challenges can make the difference between fulfillment and frustration for teams—and, ultimately, between the success and failure of companies. Will Larson’s An Elegant Puzzle focuses on the particular challenges of engineering management—from sizing teams to handling technical debt to performing succession planning—and provides a path to the good solutions. Drawing from his experience at Digg, Uber, and Stripe, Larson has developed a thoughtful approach to engineering management for leaders of all levels at companies of all sizes. An Elegant Puzzle balances structured principles and human-centric thinking to help any leader create more effective and rewarding organizations for engineers to thrive in.
Download or read book How to Avoid a Climate Disaster written by Bill Gates and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Download or read book ASPIRE TO GROW written by Wuan D. Miller and published by ThinkWrite Books. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you struggling to live a mature Christian life? You don't have to. All you need is a step in the right direction. What step? Intentionality! Why intentionality? While spiritual growth should be the goal of daily Christian living, it is not automatic. Unless the believer is intentional, what one learns from reading the Bible will never manifest on its own. The Lord can inspire one to action, yet it is up to the believer to ASPIRE, or move toward, the call of the Lord. The greater the aspiration, the greater the spiritual growth. The question is, how does one get started? ASPIRE to Grow is a deep dive into biblical disciplines that can transform any life into the one God has intended. In this work, Wuan D. Miller shows Christians how spiritual growth is possible through a modern treatment of nine, timeless biblical practices: · Connect to Draw · Consecrate to Align · Commit to Launch · Share to Grow · Serve to Receive · Sow to Send · Rest to Rejuvenate · Reflect to Reposition · Renew to Enrich Drawing from the model of Jesus, devotional scriptures, ideas for daily application, and questions to ponder, Miller unpacks the richness of these disciplines in the Word of God in a way that is relevant for today, while systematically condensing them into a simple 3-pillar model for living it out: · Worship · Witness · Withdraw Wherever you are in your study of the Word, ability to witness to others, or private devotion, ASPIRE can help one go to the next level. Anyone who wants to move from wherever they are right now to where God has intended them to be should read ASPIRE TO GROW.
