Leading the Life You Want -...

Stewart D. Friedman

You're busy trying to lead a "full" life. But does it really feel full—or are you stretched too thin? Enter Stew Friedman, Wharton professor, adviser to leaders across the globe, and passionate advocate of replacing the misguided metaphor of "work/life balance" with something more realistic and sustainable. If you're seeking "balance" you'll never achieve it, argues Friedman. The idea that "work" competes with "life" ignores the more nuanced reality of our humanity—the interaction of four domains: work, home, community, and the private self. The goal is to create harmony among them instead of thinking only in terms of trade-offs. It can be done. 
 
 
 
Building on his national bestseller, Total Leadership, Friedman identifies the critical skills for integrating work and the rest of life. He illustrates them through compelling original stories of these remarkable people: former Bain & Company CEO and Bridgespan cofounder Tom Tierney, Facebook COO and bestselling author Sheryl Sandberg, nonprofit leader and US Navy SEAL Eric Greitens, US First Lady Michelle Obama, soccer champion-turned-broadcaster Julie Foudy, and renowned artist Bruce Springsteen. 
 
 
 
Each of these admirable (though surely imperfect) people exemplifies a set of skills—for being real, being whole, and being innovative—that produce a sense of purpose, coherence, and optimism.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Retirement is supposed to be a time of relaxation, freedom, and financial security. Yet for millions of people, it turns into a period of financial stress, uncertainty, and regret. The shocking truth is that most people are vastly unprepared for retirement—not because they lack the ability to save, but because they have been misled about how retirement planning really works.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming they have plenty of time to figure it out later. Procrastination is the number one reason so many individuals find themselves struggling in their later years. The reality is that the earlier you start planning, the easier it becomes to build the kind of financial foundation that ensures a comfortable and worry-free retirement. However, because so many people believe in myths about retirement—such as the idea that Social Security will be enough or that they will simply work forever—many fail to take the necessary steps when they still have time.
Another hidden danger is underestimating the true costs of retirement. Inflation, healthcare expenses, and increasing longevity all pose significant risks to financial stability. Many retirees quickly realize that their savings don’t stretch as far as they had hoped. They find themselves forced to make difficult choices, whether that means cutting back on essentials, delaying retirement, or even returning to work after they thought they were done. The harsh reality is that a lack of preparation doesn’t just lead to minor inconveniences—it can completely derail your golden years.
