What is an insight? It's more than just a fact. It's an understanding of how things really are.This remarkably brief book delivers tons of truth about existing, surviving, moving up, achieving leadership, delivering results, reaping rewards...and ultimately finding self-perspective and satisfaction in the world of Senior Management.Only rarely in any decade does a book capture, and bring new insights to, an infinitely broad subject in just a few words.This one does, because it's derived from a wealth of first-hand observation.For over 30 years, John Lucht has been recruiting senior executives from CEO on down...first for six years at Heidrick and Struggles, America's second-largest search firm, and for the past 24 years in his own independent practice which, for the past ten years, has also included outplacement and executive coaching at the highest levels of management. For ten earlier years he, too, was an executive on the fast track...acutely aware of the cultural and performance issues that determine progress, rewards and-ultimately-personal satisfaction among executives."It's been my privilege-and a fascinating pleasure-to interview over 4,000 high-level executives," he says. "I've also come to know many of these men and women on a far more informal and personal basis. Increasingly in recent years, I've helped some of them with their interpersonal, organizational, and even their operating concerns.""What you and I are sharing together in this book comes mainly from knowing, evaluating, and assisting so many senior executives. Seeing what the most successful have done well-and others less well-is the basis for the insights I'm passing along to you," says Lucht. "We're both indebted to lots of other fine people for what you'll find here."Lucht's explanation, while accurate, is unduly modest. He's not only an astute observer, he's also an expert communicator. His RITES OF PASSAGE AT $100,000 TO $1 MILLION+ (now with in-depth Internet coverage) is the #1 bestselling text on executive job-changing ... as it has been ever since it first appeared over a decade ago.

The essence of this practice consists in the four foundations of mindfulness: mindful contemplation of the body, feelings, states of mind, and mind objects.

One of Buzzfeed's 29 Books We Couldn't Put Down This Year “Every page of this novel is a point of no return; once you’ve read Karolina Waclawiak's Life Events, you will never see life, death, grief, and healing the same way.”—Saeed Jones, author of How We Fight for Our Lives A woman at a crossroads learns the only way to reclaim her life is to help others die Karolina Waclawiak’s breakout novel, Life Events, follows Evelyn, who, at thirty-seven, is on the verge of divorce and anxiously dreading the death of everyone she loves. She combats her existential crisis by avoiding her husband and aimlessly driving along the freeways of California looking for an escape—one that eventually comes when she discovers a collective of “exit guides.” Evelyn enrolls in their training course, where she learns to provide companionship and a final exit for terminally ill patients seeking a conscious departure. She meets Daphne, a dying woman still full of life; Lawrence, an aging porn king; and Daniel, who seems too young to die and whom Evelyn falls for, despite knowing better, not to mention the exit guide code. Each client opens something new in Evelyn, allowing her a chance to access her own grief and confront the self-destructive ways she suppresses her pain. When Evelyn travels through the Southwest to an afterlife convention to further her death education, she must finally face her complicated relationship with her alcoholic father and reconcile her life choices. Sensitively observed and darkly funny, Life Events is a moving, enlivening story of the human condition: the doldrums of loneliness, the consuming regret of past mistakes, and the thrill, finally, of finding meaning—and love—where you least expect it.

Have you ever wondered, "Is this all there is to life and ministry with the Lord?" "Why am I so tired all the time?" "How can I grow in my intimacy with God in practical ways?" "Am I so busy doing that I have forgotten how to be with God?" As ministry workers, we too often face these questions because we too often expect a thriving personal relationship with God to be an outcome of our ministry. Journey With Me illustrates that ministry is the result of the overflow of our relationship with God, rather than vice versa. Exploring over fifteen ancient spiritual graces--such as Lectio Divina, rule of life, silence and solitude, and prayer of Examen--Herbert F. Lamp, Jr. invites us to prioritize soul care, rather than treating ministry as a replacement for intimacy. In the process of knowing and being known, God fills us up with his love, joy, peace, and wisdom. Only then can we minister to others, balancing a heart for God with hands for service. After almost four decades of missionary service, Lamp has experienced the joys and potential pitfalls of serving Christ cross-culturally. Sharing his experiences and offering practical, time-tested methods to grow spiritually, Lamp invites you to journey with Our Father intimately as you cross your cultural, linguistic, ethnic, and geographic borders, serving him wholeheartedly and passionately.
