Book Description
How shall I lead my life? What will bring me happiness (and can I possibly know this in advance)? Where do my ethical values, feelings and opinions come from? How do I know if I really understand something, or are my judgements always just opinions? Should I be optimistic or pessimistic about ‘human nature’ – including my own, of course? Finally, are there any ‘objective’ answers to all of this or is any answer always as good as any other? If such questions seem important to you personally, then this book is written for you. Its focus is precisely on methods for understanding better the nature of our experience, behaving more ethically and with greater emotional awareness. Don’t Expect a Standing Ovation is a reworking in contemporary terms of an ancient Buddhist teaching on meditation, but it is intended for readers of any ‘faith’ (or none), i.e., for anyone who is open to meditation as a possibly helpful practical response to the sense of unease arising from the questions listed above. Buddhist teachings are, therefore, introduced not as a ‘religion’ but as a combination of psychological, ethical and philosophical ideas that are nevertheless in themselves not unfamiliar. The teaching consists of fifty-nine slogans or maxims, which taken together form a practical handbook of guidance in responding skilfully (and indeed, therefore, ‘wisely’) in our everyday interactions with others.

Book Description
Amy Grant is a bona fide pop star with roots of gospel. As one of the biggest-selling recording artists in gospel music history, she's made the sectarian leap to mainstream "pop gospel" - but not without a fight. Grant has learned that success doesn't come easily, or directly. Despite the Grammys, numerous Dove awards, and the throngs of devoted fans, Grant has had to live with often conflicting loyalties to her career and her spiritual beliefs. As the most glorious symbol of the new Christian woman - tough, liberated, ready to admit her mistakes - Grant is not content to sugarcoat the trials of her life. She has knowingly planted her feet on two antagonistic grounds: secular and religious, commandeering her conflicted position head-on, with warmth and grace.

Book Description
‘In my bestselling book Triggers’, I raised this important question. Why don't we become the person we really want to be? In his book, ‘Tick Tick Dollar’, Qaier gives us the answer to this question and shares his proven philosophy to make that life a reality’. Marshall Goldsmith - World’s #1 Leadership Coach. #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of TRIGGERS’ Tick Tick Dollar philosophy is not my invention. It is my discovery. I discovered this philosophy when I was at the lowest point in my own life. My 24 years struggle to turn my life around brought me to a point where I was homeless, jobless, visionless, hopeless, resourceless, loveless, and almost lifeless. My annual income was less than 200$. I had a destructive self-image, stumpy self-confidence, and a poor concept about who I was and what I thought I could do. I had lost faith and was nearly about to give up. And then I embraced Tick Tick Dollar philosophy. Tick Tick Dollar approach was my companion, inspiration, and north star in all those frustrating, shattering, and devastating instants. The fact is that with no financial resources, no professional network, no background, and no confidence, God granted me all that which a few years ago existed only in my imagination. What made me do all of this that I could never have imagined doing even in my daydreams only a few short years ago? It was just a simple shift in my thinking, beliefs, and philosophy. I committed myself to stick to three decisions I made when my life was in a complete directionless mess: 1. Each day I will commit to following my purpose 2. I will use every waking moment to pursue my deepest passion 3. Every day, I will use the joint power of my purpose and passion for performing at the finest optimum levels.

Book Description
With his dream of eventually becoming a television star, Josh embarks on a journey that takes him from New York to California. Along the way he peels away the trappings of who he was and transitions into whom he thought he wanted to become. But he succeeds too well. And when his television character never rises above the same sparse hackneyed dialogue and stock dramatic gestures, he struggles to free himself from the stagnation of that role and implements a bold and daring strategy that strives to bring more meaning to his career and, consequently, to his life. But he learns that in having denied who he was, the repercussions are far greater than he ever imagined.

As management ages and prepares to work longer than previous generations and Millennials join companies at steady rate, companies are suffering through tension and dissonance between Millennials and Boomers, and realizing that they can't just wait for management to age out to fix it. Finding productive ways to work across the generation gap is essential, and the organizations that do this well will have significant strategic advantages over those that don't. Millennials & Management: The Essential Guide to Making It Work at Work addresses a very real concern of large and small businesses nationwide: how to motivate, collaborate with, and manage the millennial generation, who now make up almost 50% of the American workforce. The key is to change Boomer attitudes from disbelief and derision to acceptance and respect without giving up work standards. Using real world examples, author Lee Caraher gives leaders data-driven steps to take to co-create a productive workplace for today and tomorrow.

Book Description
From humble beginnings I had broken free from the cycle of poverty and despair to become a pioneer, a trailblazer, and a leader who had achieved far more than most people from my background ever dreamed.

Along with having my likeness in the National Great Blacks In Wax Museum in Baltimore, I have accepted numerous awards and honors.
