Book excerpt: Dror Benshetrit's massively successful design for brands like Tumi, Rosenthal, and Cappellini and his next phase of visionary large-scale projects are now assembled in this debut monograph. Since 2002, Dror Benshetrit has developed an interdisciplinary practice specializing in truly innovative design projects. His multifaceted approach to design at wildly varying scales and concepts encompass product design, interior design, graphic design, and architecture. In this survey of Dror Benshetrit's first fifteen years of practice, readers are introduced to an ingenious design practice that started with household objects and furniture, to a collaborator with top brands such as Tumi, Rosenthal, Cappellini, and Bentley, and has since evolved into a visionary architecture office. Dror Dreams showcases the evolution of the designer's work, reflecting the diversification of his practice over time and the profound results that stem from its holistic approach. Told in his own approachable voice, charting his path from impassioned novice to ambitious ideator, Dror shares the conceptual origins and process behind his projects, as well as marking successes, failures, and conclusions. Dror seeks to communicate the value of creativity without limitation, promote the importance of collaboration, and through example inspire tomorrow's designers to dream big.
Download or read book The Last Lecture written by Randy Pausch and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasnt about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.
Download or read book Dreams Have No Expiry Date written by Laurie Naomi Gottlieb and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two accomplished Canadian women, this inspirational guide helps women redefine their life paths and find new meaning and direction at mid-life. "What will I do for the rest of my life? And what's next?" Many women are asking these most pressing questions. Whether capping a successful career and looking for a new challenge, finding themselves unexpectedly downsized or emerging from the home and looking for a new start in today's workforce, women are searching for purpose in their work and at leisure. In Dreams Have No Expiry Date, Laurie Gottlieb and Deanna Rosenswig show how mid-life is actually the best time for women to live their dreams, now that they have the freedom, emotional resources, self-knowledge, time, wisdom and energy to do so. In a step-by-step way, using interviews, research and exercises designed to stimulate thinking and increase self-awareness, Gottlieb and Rosenswig help women articulate and then achieve their dreams. The text is peppered with inspirational stories and anecdotes from women interviewed about their process, their learning and their dreams. Gottlieb and Rosenswig never underestimate the complexities of each woman's life, but instead help women work with their skills and abilities to chart a course for the next 30, 40 or even 50 years of their lives. Dreams Have No Expiry Date helps the reader - discover and articulate dreams - identify and mobilize inner strengths and resources - estimate readiness for change - identify the phases in the process of transitions - eliminate negatives that highjack dreams - optimize resources to realize dreams - create a personalized roadmap to make dreams a reality Excerpt from "Dreams Have No Expiry Date" "If you hear yourself thinking one or more of the following statements, then this book is for you: - I have been there, done that -- and don't want to do this any more. - I have achieved my goals and need a new challenge. What's next? What are my choices? - I need to find passion, meaning and balance in my life. - I had planned to retire at 65 but was retired 15 years earlier. - I want to do something just for me. - Everything seems so uncertain all of a sudden; I'm questioning everything in my life. - It's now or never."
Download or read book Dream Teams written by Shane Snow and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning entrepreneur and journalist Shane Snow reveals the counterintuitive reasons why so many partnerships and groups break down--and why some break through. The best teams are more than the sum of their parts, but why does collaboration so often fail to fulfill this promise? In Dream Teams, Snow takes us on an adventure through history, neuroscience, psychology, and business, exploring what separates groups that simply get by together from those that get better together. You'll learn: * How ragtag teams--from soccer clubs to startups to gangs of pirates--beat the odds throughout history. * Why DaimlerChrysler flopped while the Wu-Tang Clan succeeded, and the surprising factor behind most failed mergers, marriages, and partnerships. * What the Wright Brothers' daily arguments can teach us about group problem solving. * Pioneering women in law enforcement, unlikely civil rights collaborators, and underdog armies that did the incredible together. * The team players behind great social movements in history, and the science of becoming open-minded. Provocative and entertaining, Dream Teams is a landmark work that will change the way we think about people, progress, and collaboration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I always asked mom about my father, but she always told me, ‘Your father came for a night to ruin my whole life.' A Story about Dreams, Hope and Death Oh, I am sorry. I’m extremely sorry; I usually forget introducing myself. I’m Amanda, a plain sailing girl who loves to explore love and life in an adventurous way. Everyone has a story for being a different personality, and I have also. I was born poor to raise my old mother instead of she raised me. I am glad that my old mother gave me my first home for nine months. Happiness is hard for our family and sometimes even the hardest. I know when babies are born, they cry, but when I was born, I and my mom both were crying because I had entered a world where cruelty is always the first choice. I had never seen my father so, I was never called to be daddy’s princess, but a normal girl who has no right to see her dreams, not even when I am sleeping.

Download or read book Freedom Dreams written by Robin D.G. Kelley and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 20th-anniversary edition of Kelley’s influential history of 20th-century Black radicalism, with new reflections on current movements and their impact on the author, and a foreword by poet Aja Monet First published in 2002, Freedom Dreams is a staple in the study of the Black radical tradition. Unearthing the thrilling history of grassroots movements and renegade intellectuals and artists, Kelley recovers the dreams of the future worlds Black radicals struggled to achieve. Focusing on the insights of activists, from the Revolutionary Action Movement to the insurgent poetics of Aimé and Suzanne Césaire, Kelley chronicles the quest for a homeland, the hope that communism offered, the politics of surrealism, the transformative potential of Black feminism, and the long dream of reparations for slavery and Jim Crow. In this edition, Kelley includes a new introduction reflecting on how movements of the past 20 years have expanded his own vision of freedom to include mutual care, disability justice, abolition, and decolonization, and a new epilogue exploring the visionary organizing of today’s freedom dreamers. This classic history of the power of the Black radical imagination is as timely as when it was first published.
