The Ten Golden Rules - Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living the Good Life

Panos Mourdoukoutas, M. A. Soupios

Maison d'édition: Hampton Roads Publishing

Synopsis

A Stoic Guide to the Art of Living a Richer, More Meaningful Life Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Epictetus, Epicurus, Pythagorus, Aesop—such wisdom, now at your fingertips. Timeless wisdom from these ancient Greek philosophers plus others has been condensed by the authors into ten memorable and easy-to-understand rules that, if lived by, can enable modern readers to have rich, meaningful lives. The ten rules . . . represent enduring features of the Greek wisdom. In a very real sense, they defy time and place and represent insights that remain profoundly relevant for contemporary culture. They can serve as anti-dotes for an age in which much that is true and valuable has been obscured by falsity and misconception. Accordingly, these ancient aphorisms are offered to all those interested in rubbing the dust from their eyes.  With each chapter examining a rule, all chapters begin with a quote from one of the great Greek philosophers who inspired the rule, followed by a story or explanation of the rule and its importance in life, and end with teaching points on which to meditate and reflect. From this simple starting point, each rule allows the reader to unfurl and explore the richness and depth that can be found in life by embracing the lesson offered. Any reader searching for meaning will return to this simple, slim volume again and again to find tried-and-true wisdom that spans the ages to speak to us today.

The Little Book That Saves Your...

David Darst

Next in the Little Book, Big Profit series, The Little Book of Big Return,s shows the listener how to profit like the rich from a powerful, proven investment strategy. It was written by the leading thinker in asset allocation, David Darst.With somewhat of a dry reputation, the topic of asset allocation has been seen as a concern only to professionals and academics disputing research papers and academic theory. However the reality of the rich and their use of asset allocation tell a different story. Asset allocation is the ultimate determinant of returns and can make the difference between matching the market or beating the market (or not losing in the market). How assets are allocated (stocks, bonds, cash, other mix) does make a substantial difference to the average portfolio, and the wealthy have long used asset allocation strategies to increase their wealth -- substantially.  Now these same strategies can be understood and used by anyone.

The Clarity Principle - How...

Chatham Sullivan

Organizational life is fraught with problems: turf wars, conflict between departments, lack of vision, poor executionthese so-called people problems are knotty and often incomprehensible and claim a startlingly large portion of our energy. Its not the numbers or the vicissitudes of the market that leads to sleepless nights, but the political, cultural and people issues that worry leaders most. The peculiar thing about these habitually dysfunctional ways of working is that while everyone involved is vaguely aware that something is broken, they cant pinpoint exactly what lies behind the dysfunction. In The Courage to Choose, consultant Chatham Sullivan reveals that beneath these messy people issues is, in fact, a basic business problem: the organization hasnt formed a clear answer to the most fundamental question, What business are we in? The purpose and identity of the organization itself is in crisis. Are we an innovation business or an execution business? Are we designed to play this role in the market or that one? Do we compete on this capability or that? When the ultimate purpose of the business has been obscured in an identity crisis, leaders must take a stand to restore its clarity. Taking a stand isnt just a cognitive move. The work demands an incisive understanding of the business, yes, but more critically an abiding sense of responsibility for the organization and the courage to make a move towards clarity even in the face of difficult strategic choices that are fraught with complex political, personal and cultural dynamics. In this groundbreaking book that bridges the gap between strategy and leadership, Sullivan shows that rather than avoiding the underlying anxiety that disturbs the business, the mature leader moves toward it and positions it in the foreground. He describes the ubiquitous problem of identity crisis, explains how to identify it where it occurs, an offer a path for leaders to take a decisive stand.
