  Change is Accelerating. 
  Managing a chamber of commerce and providing leadership in a community have never been more challenging. Navigating complexity is certainly more than showing up at a picnic and tossing a horseshoe, hoping to get a ringer. It takes intelligence, strategy, and focus to win prosperity. 
  In Horseshoes vs. Chess, veteran chamber executive and former mayor Dave Adkisson shares the insights he gained from more than 40 years observing chambers of commerce – as a CEO of three very different chambers (a small city chamber, a metro chamber, and a state chamber), as a two-term mayor of his hometown, as a former assistant to a U.S. Senator, and as a chamber leader on the national level. 
  Horseshoes vs. Chess offers the lessons Adkisson wishes he had known when he started. He explores four distinct aspects of living in “Chamber World:”Chamber Leaders’ Distinct Personalities and Skill SetsChamber Leaders Building Their Chambers to New HeightsChamber Leaders Helping Shape Their CommunitiesChamber Leaders Growing Professionally 
  With compelling stories of victories as well as disappointments, Adkisson celebrates the incredible opportunity chamber leaders have to help their chambers and communities navigate modern challenges and gain greater prosperity.

  Take a deep breath and imagine living in a world where aging and illness are truly optional. 
  What if, aging was a matter of the choices we make every day and not a matter of bad luck? What if, with each passing year, your body remains in peak shape or, better yet, continues to improve? Picture this: you experience a thirty-year-old's vitality and intellectual sharpness into your nineties and beyond. 
  This is no longer simply a nice idea. It's fast becoming a reality thanks to the pioneering efforts of one entrepreneur known for tackling and achieving "moonshots," or seemingly impossible goals. In 2017, Naveen Jain set his sights on humanity's most daunting challenge yet: the epidemic of aging and disease. 
  According to the latest statistics on chronic disease, 74 percent of us will die earlier than we have to from an avoidable disease. Obesity rates have tripled globally, and people are getting sicker at younger ages. The great news is that we can reverse these trends thanks to technological breakthroughs and live into a bright new future. 
  Jain wondered why, in an era of abundance, where more people are pursuing longevity and optimal health, the majority are achieving the opposite. His team of top scientists are taking "aging and illness optional" from rally cry to reality. 
  In The Youth Formula, you'll discover:Why your DNA is not your destiny or a key predictor of longevityHow to tap into precision health tools to stay healthy longerHow to avoid disease, boost energy, and maintain lifelong wellness 
  This is a must-read for anyone aspiring to take control of their health in an era when misinformation amplifies confusion and makes well-being seem elusive. 
  Avoid aging and disease and live a longer, healthier life—starting today!
