Sinopse

The acclaimed actress and author recounts her new life on a French olive farm, in this collection of three “good-humored and well-written” memoirs (The Washington Post).The Olive Farm After falling in love with Provence, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to purchase an abandoned farm near Cannes. Inspired but inexperienced, they begin fixing up the ten-acre property as they meet quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, and explore nearby Mediterranean islands.The Olive Season As newlyweds Carol and Michel settle into marriage, they experience the glamor of southern France with its aristocratic dinner parties and the world-renowned Cannes film festival—as well as the dirt-caked, sunbaked life of farmers. Carol also shares her hopes and fears as she anticipates motherhood in this alternately entertaining and emotionally poignant memoir.The Olive Harvest When Carol and Michel return to Provence, they face a season of great difficulty. The farm is suffering from drought, and wild boars have been destroying the fences. But there are bigger problems to come when an accident in Monte Carlo leaves Michel barely functional. As he recuperates, Carol must face challenges of all kinds—and hope that in the end, nature will provide.

    The twentieth anniversary release of the classic guide that “shows us not only how to achieve emotional and financial success but also how to maintain it” (Patti Breitman, coauthor of How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty). Through the wisdom of a life spent overcoming his own adversity and helping others, Vincent Roazzi reminds us that accumulating success while maintaining a spiritual center are not mutually exclusive goals. The Spirituality of Success demonstrates that success is a science and explains its principles. The author also dispels many popular myths of achievement and reveals the reasons why success eludes most people. Why haven’t you achieved the success you desire? Here are just a few reasons: Success is not logical. Failure is a learned treat. Your expectations become your excuses. This Twentieth Anniversary reprint edition celebrates the author’s timeless advice that has been enjoyed in sixteen languages and distributed across twenty-six countries.“The book offers plenty of inspirational directives to stop daydreaming about the lottery and start planning for the future.” —Publishers Weekly“Focuses on spiritually appropriate means to achieve economic success, but the purpose of that success is not neglected . . . The true key to personal success is impersonal altruism.” —The Theosophical Society

  • The Democratic Marketplace - How a More Equal Economy Can Save Our Political Ideals - cover

    The Democratic Marketplace - How...

    Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals. 
     
     
     
    The Democratic Marketplace theorizes the foundational structures of a democratic economy, in which markets are not just tools for maximizing profit via exploitation and extraction. To this end, employees are empowered to participate in corporate governance. Economic disparities are curbed so that citizens can negotiate their inevitable differences on a truly equal footing. And while a democratic economy need not eschew growth, it does renounce today's growth-at-all-costs expectations, instead balancing growth with goals like ecological sustainability and the preservation of time outside of work. 
     
     
     
    These are not utopian dreams, Herzog contends. The proposals that follow from the theory of democratic economics are already being tested around the world. And the shift in social norms that they necessitate is already under way.

    With In the Black, T. Dallas Smith identifies the centrality of honest and open relationships to success within the world of high-dollar commercial real estate deals. His advice to “build relationships before you need them” is complemented by personal stories highlighting the importance of identifying one’s advocates. Smith is keen to recognize the people — some of them sense-making and some of them unexpected — who helped lift him up in a field the primary practice of which has been to reject diversity among its practitioners. Smith shows how making one’s way in an industry that has historically rejected Black men and women may be challenging but is in no way impossible. His own story is proof that one can both be a trailblazer and use one’s hard-won position to open doors for others.
