Book excerpt: 'There's no such thing as an average or old-fashioned business, just average or old-fashioned ways to do business. In fact, the opportunity to reach for extraordinary may be most pronounced in settings that have been far too ordinary for far too long' Far away from Silicon Valley, in familiar, traditional, even unglamorous fields, ordinary people are unleashing extraordinary advances that amaze customers, energize employees, and create huge economic value. Their secret? They understand that inventing the future doesn't just mean designing mobile apps and developing virtual-reality headsets. In Simply Brilliant, the visionary co-founder of Fast Company William C. Taylor goes behind the scenes at some of the unsung organizations that are revolutionizing their otherwise humdrum fields. These unlikely agents of change range from a parking garage that also serves as a wedding venue, to a military insurance company that puts salespeople through simulated overseas deployment. The message is both simple and subversive: in a time of wrenching disruptions and exhilarating leaps, of unrelenting turmoil and unlimited promise, the future is open to everybody. Simply Brilliant illustrates how breakthrough creativity and breakaway performance can be summoned in all industries, if leaders dare to reimagine what's possible in their fields.

Book excerpt: EXCERPTS FROM: SIMPLE BRILLIANCE: REDISCOVERING OUR NATURAL GENIUSThere is a state of remembering that brings us back to the full self-expression and conscious enthusiasm we had as a child; those very activities and resources that magnetized our attention. There is no one way to freedom and there are many ways that we prevent ourselves from fully living our purposeful vision. We must first learn to cultivate trust in Life itself and then in ourselves and finally with others. Cultivating Simple Brilliance catalyzes a life of unexpected joy and opportunity beyond what we ever thought possible; a Life that fully realizes and expresses our capabilities.The Way of the Open Heart is essential in living a life of authenticity, of health, of emotional equilibrium, of creativity, of active imagination, of knowing that we are the determiners of our life in relation and co-creating with the great Mystery of what it means to be alive at this time, in this place. Until one embodies these principles, it is simply a concept and very easy to dismiss as frivolous beliefs or non-essential. As with many things, The Way of the Open Heart takes practice, discipline, and certainly an awareness in our ability to respond to the circumstances that challenge us most. It is easy to live with an Open Heart when at peace, when in control and calm, yet at the difficult crossroads of life, when tensions arise, when relations are strained, this is when we are called forth into our greatness to walk with gracefulness, to live with gratitude and to fully accept, humbly, our bumbling awkward state of humanity. TESTIMONIAL: Simple Brilliance: Rediscovering Your Natural Genius by Raymond Powers is by far one of the most enlightened books I have read. Using integrated wisdom from compelling personal experience and meditative and practical exercises, he addresses complex issues such: sexuality; wholeness; finding the jewels within our shadow; and love devoid of myth, story, and history. His simple prescription for "living the way of the open heart" is breath, sound, and movement, which is explained in simple yet brilliantly creative terms. If you buy one book this year, make this your choice if you'd like to live a life of greater freedom, joy and love. Patrick J.

Download or read book Brilliance written by Anthony and published by Hawthorne Books. This book was released on 2013-08-19 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Edison holds over 1,000 patents, including those for the light bulb and the phonograph, but he is broke. To the rescue rides the "world's banker," J. P. Morgan, with his offer of almost unlimited cash for the two men to join forces to illuminate America and revolutionize in the way the world does business. Captivated by Morgan's glittering vision, Edison accepts, only to find the two men embroiled in the War of the Currents, pitting their Direct Current electrical system against the Alternating Current system promoted by George Westinghouse and Edison's former assistant, Nikola Tesla. Ever more enmeshed in Morgan’s personal life, Edison becomes infatuated by a world of privilege and power, where duty, desire, faith, and immorality are thrown into conflict, ultimately threatening his own spiritual and creative survival. As a result, Edison descends from his status as the godlike inventor of electric light to that of someone complicit in the invention of the electric chair. Brilliance brings to life the birth of the modern era, providing an indelible portrait of the times in which we now live.

Book excerpt: Fact: There are four branches of government; we the People are the first and most powerful of the four. For America to run well and take us where we want to go, requires our involvement, our minds, our energy, our fuel. The President is a Bold Warrior who, like David, ran toward the giant to begin the bold war to free our nation from the ruling political class that had left us weak and vulnerable to enemies both foreign and domestic. Trump stood up for Middle America. We in turn stood with him to fuel the most powerful new movement to ever jump from the starting line in the history of our Republic. We now cannot allow the political ruling class back into power to plunder us again and leave us weak, vulnerable, or divided again. This is our call, your call, perhaps our 1776. We must Pray, Rise, Work, Vote. It is time to fill our think tanks. We must Fuel the Machine for ourselves today and our posterity tomorrow; in this book is why we do it and how we can; by the Grace of Almighty God.
