Beschreibung

The rags to riches tale of a larger-than-life romance of over seven decades
		 
Me & Issy is a love story about how a troubled and deprived child chanced to meet a man who worshipped her, brought her a fantasy life of four boys and extraordinary opulence — and banished her self-doubt. She in turn was awestruck and mystified by his acumen and daring during his founding of the Four Seasons Hotels.
		 
Beginning with her childhood in North Toronto, in a very Jewish home surrounded by non-Jews, Rosalie enchants us with anecdotes about her family, Isadore Sharp’s family, and the growth of their own in the light of the expanding Four Seasons chain. How did she go to the Ontario College of Art & Design while simultaneously raising four rambunctious boys? How did Issy open hotel after hotel with only his collateral of confidence and charisma? Rosalie is a rapt follower of his astonishing success and the first fan of his legendary town hall talks to 40,000 employees.
		 
And with success came tragedy. The devastating death of their son Chris shook them, but they coped. Here, all of Rosalie’s life is opened up for viewing, the good and the bad, the success and the failures, but especially her inspired romance with Issy. In the words of their second eldest son, Greg, “Their mutual love and respect growing stronger over the past 69 years is as extraordinary as it is beautiful.”

Drawing from his extensive experience in the field, Bernays provides a comprehensive analysis of how propaganda operates, highlighting its essential role in shaping societal norms and beliefs.Bernays argues that propaganda is a crucial tool in a democratic society, necessary for maintaining social order and stability by guiding public opinion in a constructive direction. He outlines the various methods used to craft persuasive messages, such as appealing to emotions, creating symbols, and leveraging media channels to disseminate information. Through vivid examples and case studies, Bernays illustrates how these techniques have been effectively employed to influence public perception and achieve specific goals.The book also addresses the ethical implications of propaganda, emphasizing the responsibility of those who wield its power. Bernays advocates for transparency and ethical considerations in the use of propaganda, warning against its potential misuse for manipulative or harmful purposes. He underscores the importance of understanding propaganda's impact on society and calls for a more informed and critical public."Propaganda" remains a seminal work in the fields of public relations and communication studies, providing timeless insights into the mechanics of persuasion and the role of media in shaping reality. Bernays' exploration of the interplay between information, power, and public opinion continues to be highly relevant in today's media-saturated environment, making "Propaganda" an essential read for anyone interested in the dynamics of influence and the ethical considerations of communication practices.

    Drawing from neuroscience, social neuropsychology, predictive-processing theory, and decades of applied conflict resolution practice, Wired for Peace presents a transformational model for understanding why conflict escalates and how sustainable peace is created. Moving beyond traditional communication-skills or mediation-only approaches, this book shows that lasting conflict resolution begins with the autonomic nervous system and the brain's threat-prediction mechanisms. The book illuminates the internal neural architecture that determines how individuals perceive danger, construct narratives, react to stress, and attempt either protection or connection. Authored by Dr. Jeremy Pollack, an organizational psychologist, conflict resolution expert, and founder of Pollack Peacebuilding Systems, the work examines: 
    How the autonomic nervous system, predictive processing, and neuroplasticity shape threat perception, emotional reactivity, and conflict escalation.Why conventional modalities such as facilitated dialogue, communication training, leadership coaching, or mediation often fail unless underlying neural dysregulation is addressed.How internal conflict, interpersonal conflict, group conflict, and organizational conflict share the same evolutionary and neurobiological foundations.The real organizational costs of dysregulated systems, including culture erosion, burnout, turnover, chronic mistrust, and impaired decision-making.And more

    Credit card debt is a form of unsecured debt taken from a financial tool usually credit cards. These credit card debts are generated when credit card holder purchases products from these cards and accumulates due to the interest charged on it. Difficulty arises because people are not able to repay their loans effectively or in time. When a card holder is unable to pay his debts he is declared as "defaulter". 
    In this book, “Living with Credit Card Debts”, we are looking at how we can overcome the obstacle we often face when it comes to managing our credit cards. The basic ideas discussed in the book are as follows: 
    • Plan your financial life. Financial problems are something most of us will have to manage eventually in life. In order to cope with the pressure that may arise, we need to have a proper financial plan and even financial goals. 
    • Credit card ratings and debts. We need to know what we should do and not be overburdened by debts. 
    • Study of financial management. We should make money work for us and not the other way round. We should have control of our money and not money have controls over us. 
    • Avoid bad debt. This may be as a result of poor privatization that may make us go for what we do not necessarily need.
