Summary

Embark on a transformative journey with The 8 Pillars of Leadership, New Rules for New Times, a focused guide to a new era of leadership excellence distilled from William Stanek's comprehensive work, The Resilient Leader: Embracing Resilience for Success. Times have changed, the rules have changed, and the old certainties of business and leadership no longer provide a reliable map. This practical leadership plan explores the dynamic nature of intelligence, the historical roots and modern evolution of leadership, the limits of society's narrow focus on emotional intelligence, the deeper role of emotional resilience, and the transformative potential of the 8 Pillars as a whole-person framework for growth. Moving beyond familiar discussions of EQ and IQ, Stanek shows how leadership success depends on a broader range of intelligences, including emotional, practical, ethical, relational, cultural, creative, and analytical strengths. Designed for leaders, emerging leaders, and anyone seeking greater personal and professional effectiveness, this book offers a roadmap for challenging old assumptions, cultivating self-awareness, adapting to uncertainty, and leading with authenticity, clarity, resilience, and purpose in new times.

    Transform the way you feel by embedding more compassion, calm, and joy into your nervous system.Are you feeling dysregulated—anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down? Many of us are, and understandably so. Our bodies are constantly responding to cues of safety or danger, and we are powerfully impacted by each other’s emotional struggles, collective events, and the ever-changing nature of this imperfect world. The question is: Can we find our way back to a state of grounded, calm, openhearted connection with ourselves and others?In Finding Safety in Your Nervous System, Deb Dana provides a valuable blueprint for building resilience and finding safety through the many ups and downs of life. Drawing from the wisdom of Polyvagal Theory, she skillfully shows us how to become conscious navigators of our nervous system—inhabiting a comforting inner sanctuary where we can finally relax, connect, and breathe again. Each guided audio session offers valuable insights that invite us to:• Explore proven ways to tune into and befriend your nervous system, so you can feel safe, calm, and regulated, maybe for the first time in years.• Gain science-backed tools to move from “flight, fight, or freeze” survival mode into a sense of groundedness and emotional balance.• Discover what safety and “home” means to your nervous system and what sensations, cues, and practices can help you return there when you need it most.The beauty of this work is that it’s deeply personal. What brings safety to one person may not be the same for another. The invitation is to gently explore your own nervous system and notice, What helps me feel a little more anchored right now? With practice, you begin to recognize the pathways that bring you a felt sense of regulation. Instead of living at the mercy of stress and overwhelm, you’ll discover relief within the innate wisdom of your own body—guiding you back, again and again, to the steady ground of safety within.

    Carpe Diem: A Memoir 
    By Rip Mason 
    An extraordinary memoir of adventure, purpose, and the pursuit of meaning from the boardroom to the Serengeti, from small-town roots to global influence. 
    In Carpe Diem, Rip Mason invites readers into a remarkable life marked by grit, gratitude, and grace. From the quiet beaches of Sanibel Island to high-stakes boardrooms in New York and the shadowed corridors of global power, Mason reflects on the defining experiences that shaped him as a son, leader, father, and visionary. 
    Whether leading a $200 million acquisition against all odds, guiding companies through eras of disruption, or crossing time zones and terrains from London and Paris to Moscow, Prague, and Rome. Each setting is more than just a backdrop; it’s a test of character and conviction. 
    With elegant clarity and keen introspection, Mason recounts a childhood rich in family warmth and moral grounding, the rigorous formation of character at the Hun School of Princeton and Middlebury College, and the formative lessons learned in the campgrounds of North Carolina and the turbulent geopolitics of 1970s Africa. His journey, equal parts serendipity and resolve, leads him from legal practice into the upper echelons of Private Equity, culminating in transformative business ventures that span continents and industries. 
    But Carpe Diem is not only about executive triumph. It is also a deeply human account: of bearing witness to the fragile realities in Baghdad and Darfur, of quiet encounters with figures like Muhammad Ali and Sting, and of treasuring the enduring strength of family, faith, and friendship. 
    At once personal and panoramic, Carpe Diem is a powerful reminder to embrace the present, honor your roots, and live a life of intention and integrity.
