Look at him and think, well, that’s taken care of, I will do anything for you as long as we both shall live, world without end, amen.” <P><P>Before blogs even existed, Anna Quindlen became a go-to writer on the joys and challenges of family, motherhood, and modern life, in her nationally syndicated column. <P><P>Now she’s taking the next step and going full nana in the pages of this lively, beautiful, and moving book about being a grandmother. <P><P>Quindlen offers thoughtful and telling observations about her new role, no longer mother and decision-maker but secondary character and support to the parents of her grandson. <P><P>She writes, “Where I once led, I have to learn to follow.” Eventually a close friend provides words to live by: “Did they ask you?” <P><P>Candid, funny, frank, and illuminating, Quindlen’s singular voice has never been sharper or warmer.

Napkin Finance: Build Your Wealth in 30 Seconds or Less
by Tina HayWALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER“An incredible, compelling read. It covers an astonishing amount of ground with basic simplicity and good humor. A masterful starting point for any investor. Tina Hay is a wizard.”—Ben Stein, economist, author, actor and commentatorA handy crash course in personal finance, Napkin Finance is the groundbreaking guide everyone needs to help them manage their money and feel more secure.Surveys have found that two thirds of Americans can’t pass a basic financial literacy test, and nine in ten believe personal finance should become a required high school course. Tina Hay understands the confusion. While attending Harvard Business School, she struggled to keep up with classmates–many of whom came from the banking world–when it came to understanding jargon and numbers-heavy concepts. Tina developed a visual learning strategy using sketches and infographics that helped her succeed in her studies and master even the most complex financial topics.Since then, Tina founded Napkin Finance, a thriving company built on the concept of taking seemingly overwhelming topics—such as budgeting, investments, and retirement accounts—and turning them into simple, skimmable explanations. Now, she’s synthesized the most important content into this personal finance handbook. Napkin Finance includes dozens of individual learning modules, on topics ranging from credit scores to paying off student loans to economics and blockchain. The first illustrated guide that makes finance fun and accessible, Napkin Finance can help even the most numbers-phobic reader learn about complex financial topics without dying of boredom.
Napoleon Hill Collection
by Napoleon HillStart down your path to prosperity the right way--four essential books on wealth and self-improvement by Napoleon Hill for only $36.99! Napoleon Hill is considered by many to be the first and most important name in self-help and prosperity. Now, for the first time in one e-bundle, Tarcher/Penguin offers you his most important works on how to be the best you can be in one place, for one low price! Think and Grow Rich This book has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself. The most famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy that forms the basis of his books, and which is so powerfully summarized in this one. In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on the life stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, consultant in human resources management, and an expert in applying Hill's thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires--such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton--achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers. Think Your Way to Wealth Returned to print after many years of unavailability, this book will open the doorway to a treasury of wisdom. Think Your Way to Wealth captures Napoleon Hill's initial encounter with Andrew Carnegie, who revealed the money-attracting strategy that Hill later popularized in classic books like Think and Grow Rich and The Law of Success. While working as a reporter for an inspirational magazine in 1908, Napoleon Hill chanced upon an opportunity that gave direction to his life. The young writer landed an interview with industrial giant Carnegie. Hill had just one key question for the magnate: What is the secret to your success? Carnegie's response electrified Hill and launched him on a lifelong mission to distill the steps to success into a clear, definite protocol that could be used by any motivated man or woman. Think Your Way to Wealth is Hill's vivid account of that seminal meeting. It captures Carnegie's initial advice, how-to's, practical steps, and concrete directions--all of which formed the basis for Hill's groundbreaking books and jumpstarted the field of business motivation. Originally published in 1948, Think Your Way to Wealth has been out of print and unavailable for many years. This new Tarcher Success Classics edition reproduces the complete, original text just as Hill first presented it. The dialogue between Hill and Carnegie represents an invaluable, irreplaceable playbook of success strategies that can change the life of any reader, just as they changed Hill's life that day. The Master Key to Riches The Master-Key to Riches is the blueprint that Napoleon Hill placed in the hands of those who would teach and perfect his success methods. Now revised and updated for the twenty-first century to avoid arcane language or points of reference, this book contains the full range of ideas and exercises that appeared in the original edition. In this volume, Hill covers lessons including: * The Law of Cosmic Habitforce * Andrew Carnegie's "Master Mind" Method * The Magic of Going the "Extra Mile" * The Twelve True Riches of Life The Magic Ladder to Success This book is the volume in which Napoleon Hill first distilled the seventeen factors that make up his "Law of Success" philosophy. These key principles capture the ethics and actions that empower all who harness them to become leaders in the field of their choice. Leaders are not born, Hill argues, they are molded by a remarkably similar, simple, and dynamic se...
Napoleon Hill's Goldene Regeln: Zeitlose Weisheiten fur Ihren Erfolg
by Napoleon HillNapoleon Hill gilt als der Vater der persönlichen Erfolgsliteratur. Zum ersten Mal in Buchform findet sich hier eine Serie von Artikeln, die Hill zwischen 1919 und 1923 veröffentlicht hat. Napoleon Hill, der selbst in sehr ärmlichen Verhältnissen aufwuchs, beschäftigte sich zeitlebens leidenschaftlich mit dem Rezept für bzw. der Erreichung von persönlichem und finanziellem Erfolg. Dafür studierte und interviewte er im Auftrag des Stahl-Tycoons Andrew Carnegie über 500 der berühmtesten und reichsten Personen seiner Zeit, u. a. Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell und John D. Rockefeller. Basierend auf diesen Interviews entwickelte Hill seine Erfolgsphilosophie - eine Philosophie, die von ihrer Aktualität und Anwendbarkeit seitdem nichts eingebüßt hat. Sie fand Eingang in seine in diesem Buch veröffentlichten Artikel - kleine aber feine Goldstücke unschlagbarer Weisheit: inspirierend, motivierend und zeitlos. Die goldenen Regeln beschäftigen sich mit Themen wie: Suggestion, Selbstvertrauen und der Kraft des Geistes. Viele seiner Gedanken wurden in den folgenden Jahrzehnten immer wieder von späteren Autoren aufgegriffen und neu verpackt. Das Original ist und bleibt aber das Beste.

Narcissistic Leadership: Narcissus on the Couch
by Manfred F. Kets de VriesNarcissism has become a contemporary pandemic that seems to have been normalized, accepted, and even celebrated, both in society at large and by some of our political and business leaders. In this book, world-renowned psychology and leadership thinker Manfred Kets de Vries explains this modern phenomenon and imagines how you would help the narcissist on the notional "coach’s couch."Consumerism, competitive urges, individualism, and identity politics are examples of how our present-day culture has reinforced the self-glorification that drives narcissism—this cult of the self. Although a healthy competitive spirit is part of human nature, for narcissistic people it can turn into an all-consuming character trait. They view the world almost exclusively in terms of “winners” and “losers,” and to lose is unacceptable. Unfortunately, social media seems to provide ample opportunities to magnify the competitive or narcissistic disposition present in all of us.Starting with an in-depth discussion of the ancient myth of Narcissus, the various shapes in which narcissism expresses itself are highlighted. Subsequently, taking individual and group perspectives, various strategies for how to manage narcissistic people are explored. Using case examples of interpersonal and group approaches to change, concepts such as the working alliance, the emotional seesaw, the grey rock approach, boundary management, Socratic questioning, the sandwich tactic, and the need to be empathic are introduced. Also, referring to change in a group setting, the importance of the psychological dynamics of the group-as-a-whole is presented.Narcissistic Leadership offers a unique and original approach to exploring the ramifications of narcissistic leadership and will be of interest to the general reader as well as the key audiences of organizational leaders, psychoanalysts, coaches, psychotherapists, sociologists, and social psychologists.

Narrating Karma and Rebirth
by Naomi AppletonBuddhism and Jainism share the concepts of karma, rebirth, and the desirability of escaping from rebirth. The literature of both traditions contains many stories about past, and sometimes future, lives which reveal much about these foundational doctrines. Naomi Appleton carefully explores how multi-life stories served to construct, communicate, and challenge ideas about karma and rebirth within early South Asia, examining portrayals of the different realms of rebirth, the potential paths and goals of human beings, and the biographies of ideal religious figures. Appleton also deftly surveys the ability of karma to bind individuals together over multiple lives, and the nature of the supernormal memory that makes multi-life stories available in the first place. This original study not only sheds light on the individual preoccupations of Buddhist and Jain tradition, but contributes to a more complete history of religious thought in South Asia, and brings to the foreground long-neglected narrative sources.
