  What is the proper mode of administering great wealth? It is to address this question that steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie's famous essay "Wealth", or more commonly known as "The Gospel of Wealth" was written (in 1889). His answer – Philanthropy. Not just any philanthropy, but specifically, projects funded and overseen during the life of the magnate, for things that benefit the community and engage the public in maintaining long after the magnate is gone -- libraries, parks, universities, hospitals, medical labs, observatories, entertainment halls, swimming pools, etc. Carnegie deemed it the responsibility of every self-respecting self-made rich person in America and the world, to help the poorer classes to rise. Before he died he had built over 3,000 public libraries throughout the world, and to this day various Carnegie foundations continue his work in support of various social causes.

  Powered by Me - From Burned Out...

  Burnout isn't a personal failure. It's a wake-up call. 
   
   
   
  This global epidemic is not merely a case of working too hard or feeling physically exhausted for an extended period of time. According to physician, executive coach, and speaker Neha Sangwan—an expert empowering corporate leaders and organizational teams to excel under pressure—burnout is due to prolonged stress and an ongoing net drain of energy on one or more of five levels: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. When we burn out, our productivity suffers, our health declines, and we're more reactive in our relationships. Not having the resources to handle challenging circumstances, address conflict, or maintain healthy boundaries worsens stress and dysfunction in our professional and personal lives. 
   
   
   
  In this book, Dr. Sangwan explains in simple terms the overwhelming experience of burnout, and offers an awareness prescription that helps you determine on which of the five levels—physical, mental, emotional, social, or spiritual—burnout is occurring for you. Once you identify your biggest energy drains, she equips you with powerful tools that enable you to replenish your energy and take practical steps toward healing. Along the way, you'll expand your awareness, elevate your mindset, communicate with clarity, and align your decision-making with what matters most.

  Baby Bust 10th Anniversary...

  Stew Friedman, founding director of The Wharton School's Work/Life Integration Project, studied two generations of Wharton college students as they graduated: Gen Xers in 1992 and Millennials in 2012. The cross-generational study produced a stark discovery—the rate of graduates who planned to have children had dropped by nearly half over those twenty years. While some might wonder what this privileged group can tell us about broader trends in the United States, Friedman argues that they were "the canaries in the coal mine. . . . if they could not see a way to make their careers and families work, how could those with fewer opportunities and resources square this circle?" 
   
   
   
  In a new preface to this tenth anniversary edition of Baby Bust, Friedman observes that the birth rate in the United States has continued to decline in the years since. He offers new insights into why fewer people are choosing to have children, how the pandemic affected these trends, and what can be done about it. 
   
   
   
  In this book, Friedman addresses how views about work and family have changed; why men and women have different reasons for opting out of parenthood; how family has been redefined; what choices we face in our social and educational policy; and how organizations and individuals—especially men—can spur cultural change.
