Summary

The poor man's wisdom is a description of the limitation in the thought of those who have the potential to become rich but have struggled to come out of poverty. It is a thought researched from the story told by King Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 14-16. 
"There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard."  
After reading this story, I was greatly troubled to ask myself, what could be the problem with this man. Why is it that he was introduced as poor and left with that title after achieving so much for his city? As I thought about it, I was made to understand that this poor man possessed a mindset that limited him financially. That mindset formed the topics for this book. You will see how this man's thought held him down in poverty because he considered it to be wisdom. Be careful with the thoughts you call wisdom; they may be the opposition to your journey to wealth. 
Are you caught between unproductive but great potential? Are you having a problem with transforming your abilities into wealth? Then you have reached the point where you can sing a new song of relief. With the Poor man's Wisdom, you can make the necessary adjustment needed to launch you into the realms of personal wealth. You need this book, don't wait to be told about it. Get a copy now!

    Vividly reminiscent of the goings-on at Sterling Cooper-the late nights, the three-martini lunches, the sex on couches, and, of course, the actual work of plugging products-this is the story of what Madison Avenue was really like in the 1960s. A worldwide bestseller when first published in 1970, this frank, irreverent, and hilarious memoir is a one-of-a-kind cult classic.

    Helping - How to Offer Give and...

    Helping is a fundamental human activity, but it can also be a frustrating one. All too often, to our bewilderment, our sincere offers of help are resented, resisted, or refused—and we often react the same way when people try to help us. Why is it so difficult to provide or accept help? How can we make the whole process easier?  
     
    In this seminal book on the topic, corporate culture and organizational development guru Ed Schein analyzes the social and psychological dynamics common to all types of helping relationships, explains why help is often not helpful, and shows what any would-be helpers must do to ensure that their assistance is both welcomed and genuinely useful.  
     
    The moment of asking for and offering help is a delicate and complex one, fraught with inequities and ambiguities. Schein helps us navigate that moment so we avoid potential pitfalls, mitigate power imbalances, and establish a solid foundation of trust. He identifies three roles a helper can play, explaining which one is nearly always the best starting point if we are to provide truly effective help. So that readers can determine exactly what kind of help is needed, he describes an inquiry process that puts the helper and the recipient on an equal footing.  These dynamics not only apply to all kinds of one-on-one helping in personal and professional relationships, teaching, social work, and medicine but also can be usefully applied to teamwork and to organizational leadership. 
     
    Using examples from many types of relationships—doctors and patients, consultants and clients, husbands and wives—Ed Schein offers a concise, definitive analysis of what it takes to establish successful, mutually satisfying helping relationships.

    The world of work is changing exponentially. Rapid technological innovation and global forces are compelling businesses to disrupt traditional models and adopt new digital strategies and skills to compete. This requires new future-fit thinking, as well as the habits and capabilities to learn, adapt, experiment and fail fast. Whilst technology may be threatening to replace many repetitive or replicable human activities, there is still a critical need for thinking and skills that will enable innovation, customer engagement, responsiveness, adaptability, cross-boundary teamwork, virtual teams and personal health, success and fulfillment. 
    
    In POWER-UP8, Debbie Craig reveals why the world needs more people who are:
    
    •	Intensely curious (about themselves, others and the world), 
    •	Originally creative (experimenting, learning and willing to fail), 
    •	Courageously committed (to their vision for self, team or cause), 
    •	Consciously choosing (where to focus attention and how to show up), 
    •	Critical thinkers (who can resolve dilemmas and make meaning out of noise), 
    •	Trust building collaborators (that combine perspectives and strengths into lasting relationships and value), 
    •	Change influencers (that navigate the maze of change for positive impact) and,
    •	Generous contributors (that build lasting healthy communities).
    
    POWER-UP8 offers readers a guide to rapidly build the most important beliefs and habits required for success in the next decade – using the latest brain and behavioural science of learning and change. These 8 capabilities have been carefully chosen from a unique combination of research and practical experience in developing organisations, leaders and learners over the last 20+ years.
