Connecting the Dots: Lessons for Leadership in a Startup World
by Diane Brady John ChambersSilicon Valley visionary John Chambers shares the lessons that transformed a dyslexic kid from West Virginia into one of the world's best business leaders and turned a simple router company into a global tech titan. When Chambers joined Cisco in 1991, it was a company with 400 employees, a single product, and about $70 million in revenue. When he stepped down as CEO in 2015, he left a $47 billion tech giant that was the backbone of the internet and a leader in areas from cybersecurity to data center convergence. Along the way, he had acquired 180 companies and turned more than 10,000 employees into millionaires. Widely recognized as an innovator, an industry leader, and one of the world's best CEOs, Chambers has outlasted and outmaneuvered practically every rival that ever tried to take Cisco on--Nortel, Lucent, Alcatel, IBM, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard, to name a few. Now Chambers is sharing his unique strategies for winning in a digital world. From his early lessons and struggles with dyslexia in West Virginia to his bold bets and battles with some of the biggest names in tech, Chambers gives readers a playbook on how to act before the market shifts, tap customers for strategy, partner for growth, build teams, and disrupt themselves. He also adapted those lessons to transform government, helping global leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to create new models for growth. As CEO of JC2 Ventures, he's now investing in a new generation of game-changing startups by helping founders become great leaders and scale their companies. Connecting the Dots is destined to become a business classic, providing hard-won insights and critical tools to thrive during the accelerating disruption of the digital age.

Connecting with Coincidence: The New Science for Using Synchronicity and Serendipity in Your Life
by Bernard BeitmanWe've all experienced or heard of surprising events and unexplainable coincidences—money that seems to come from nowhere, a spontaneous idea that turns into a life-changing solution, meeting our soulmate on a flight we weren't supposed to take, or families being reunited by "accident" after years of separation. Often these coincidences are explained as being controlled by a higher power or pure chance. But for the first time since Carl Jung's work, comes bold new research that explains scientifically how we can identify, understand, and perhaps even control the frequency of coincidences in our everyday lives. Bernard Beitman, a leading expert on Coincidence Studies, proposes a greater personal responsibility which depends partly upon newly discovered "grid cells" located in the brain, near the hippocampus. But neuroscience cannot complete the entire puzzle, and in this fascinating guide, Beitman provides the missing piece. From analyzing true stories of synchronicity from around the globe and throughout history, he shares key personality characteristics and situational factors that contribute to the occurrence of meaningful coincidences in our lives. Where other books on coincidences tend to be theoretical, inspirational, or story collections only, Beitman's book is the first to provide a scientific understanding and practical ways in which readers can use them in their own lives. He reveals: How to activate your observing self so you don't miss synchronistic moments How serendipity can offer insights into solving problems or making difficult decisionsWhy stress activates meaningful coincidencesWhich states of mind impede our ability to experience synchronicityHow to interpret the meaning of a coincidence Why being attuned to coincidences is a learned skill—and how to hone your sensitivity.

Conoce a tus chicos: El arte de criar a los niños
by Sri Sri Ravi ShankarEste libro está orientado a quienes trabajan y conviven con niños, con el objetivo de prepararlos espiritualmente para afrontar la vida con una conciencia ampliada, generosa, solidaria y creativa. "El mundo se ha encogido y es ahora multicultural y multireligioso. Un alumno, después de haber concluido con su educación, puede conseguir un trabajo en cualquier lugar del planeta. Necesitará sentirse cómodo haciéndolo. Para ello, precisará ser amplio y de mente abierta. Sólo la educación puede lograr estas cualidades. No aparecerán repentinamente en los últimos días de colegio. La semilla necesita ser cultivada en la escuela desde el primer día de clase, y fortificada desde entonces. Sólo así los niños crecerán como árboles fuertes, con mentes abiertas; no serán abatidos por las grandes tormentas, aceptarán a todos en el mundo como a sí mismos. Esto se logra con el trabajo de ambos, padres y maestros". Este es el espíritu con el que Sri Sri Ravi Shankar presenta este libro orientado a quienes trabajan y conviven con niños, con el objetivo de prepararlos espiritualmente para afrontar la vida con una conciencia ampliada, generosa, solidaria y creativa.

E se: *Sei a disagio, ma non sai perché. *Sei sempre in ansia per la tua situazione. *Ti senti depresso quando pensi a dove va la tua vita. *Pensi che ci debba essere qualcosa di meglio. *Senti che stai esaurendo il tempo per fare seri cambiamenti nella tua vita. *Vuoi agire su questi sentimenti, ma non sai come. Se hai un problema serio, ma non sai cosa sia né come risolverlo. Tutto ciò finirà abbastanza velocemente e sarai esilarato nel processo! Ti sentirai meglio, svolgerai meglio i tuoi compiti guadagnando maggiore auto-consapevolezza ogni giorno. La consapevolezza di sé viene prima.

Conquer Your Food Addiction: The Ehrlich 8-Step Program for Permanent Weight Loss
by Caryl EhrlichConquer Your Food Addiction is not a diet book. But if you're committed to losing weight, it's the right book for you! Nobody can cajole, trick, or provoke you into shedding those excess pounds. But if you are genuinely ready to go for it, Caryl Ehrlich is here to lead the way with her 8-step program for permanent weight loss. The perfect solution for people who are overweight -- many of whom are compulsive eaters -- Ehrlich's is a behavioral approach to weight loss that teaches you how to change habits in order to overcome food addiction. As she observes, no deprivation diet will work for food addicts, because they use food the way other addicts use drugs or alcohol: not to satisfy physical hunger but to distract oneself from painful feelings -- loneliness, anger, boredom, sadness -- with a never-ending conveyor belt of food. A former compulsive eater herself, Ehrlich developed this easy-to-understand program for herself more than twenty-five years ago and has taught it to others, with astounding results, for more than two decades. With the help of Conquer Your Food Addiction you will: Learn how to distinguish physical hunger from emotional hunger; Become aware of your unconscious, ritualized eating habits; Develop the skills necessary to approach food differently; Change your behavior in order to change your body; Awaken to an improved, realistic relationship with food. Using original concepts and easy assignments, Ehrlich's proven 8-step program retrains your thought process so that you can begin to see food in a new and healthy way. Once you do, you'll be amazed at how the pounds come off!
