    An inspiring book for readers of Sheryl Sandberg and Arlene Dickinson
     
    Lisa Lisson’s life seemed perfect: she had married her high school sweetheart, applied her marketing degree to a position at FedEx Express Canada, and risen to become a vice president (and would ultimately become president) of the company. One night, after putting their four children to bed, her husband, Patrick, marvelled that their lives seemed perfectly happy.
     
    Just a few hours later, everything changed.
     
    One moment Lisa was sleeping beside Patrick, and the next, she was kneeling on the floor beside his unconscious body frantically administering CPR. Patrick had had a massive heart attack and was in a coma, and the doctors were blunt: there was no hope. But for the next two years, Lisa stood by his side and awaited a miracle, while continuing to balance life as a high-powered executive and mother of four.
     
    Part leadership guide, part memoir of loss, and part personal empowerment primer on how to achieve your goals no matter what the universe throws at you, Resilience is an inspirational story about how to rise to the top in a man’s world, triumph over adversity, lead a fulfilling life, and live each day with purpose and gratitude.

    Inside these pages, you will find three hundred shortcuts for your career, your love life, and everything else that matters. People tend to overstate the truth behind advertisements and quick fixes. At the same time, they understate the power of small constant efforts and their compounding effect, which Albert Einstein described as the eighth wonder of the world. The compounding impact allows minor positive changes and small investments to grow exponentially into massive positive changes and fortunes with the aid of consistency and time. This book is not about huge changes and quick fixes. On the contrary, this is a book about small daily changes that, if taken seriously, will compound into essential changes and powerful results over time.

    On his death in the autumn of 2006, Milton Friedman was lauded as "the grandmaster of free-market economic theory in the postwar era" by the New York Times and "the most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century" by the Economist. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1976, Friedman was both a highly respected economist and a prominent public intellectual, the leader of a revolution in economic and political thought that argued robustly in favor of virtues of free markets and laissez-faire policies. 
     
     
     
    Milton Friedman on Economics: Selected Papers collects a variety of Friedman's papers on topics in economics that were originally published in the Journal of Political Economy. Opening with Friedman's 1977 Nobel Lecture, the volume spans nearly the whole of his career, incorporating papers from as early as 1948 and as late as 1990. An excellent introduction to Friedman's economic thought, Milton Friedman will be essential for anyone tracing the course of twentieth-century economics and politics.

    The Present world is service oriented. Without a proper structure, no system can work, and services cannot be rendered successful. Moreover, for the proper structure, the practice of design thinking is the perfect answer. Design Thinking is not a newly emerged concept and remains rooted in society for a very long time. The concept of design thinking is useful for designing and understanding context relating to any businesses. Design thinking may seem vague and a capable subject for all, however, the same is not true and requires thorough planning. If general reports are to be taken, design thinking has five stages, and each stage has its importance. Design thinking brings out the creativity of a person, and the scope of the same has widened in the modern day where one encounters various problems even in day to day activities. Design thinking is a way to attain success and is an essential factor of development and growth.
