We used to think that any woman who wants to advance in a challenging career has to make huge sacrifices (marriage, quality time with her kids, social life, hobbies, or even a decent nights sleep).However, time management expert Laura Vanderkam collected hour-by-hour time logs from 1,001 days in the lives of women who make at least $100,000 a year. And she found some surprising patterns in how these women made time for the things that gave them pleasure and meaning (including family, gym and lunch with friends), fitting the pieces together like tiles in a mosaic.

William Ury, coauthor of the classic bestseller on negotiation Getting to Yes, has taught tens of thousands of people how to become better negotiators, discovering meanwhile that the greatest obstacle to successful agreements and satisfying relationships is not the other side, is actually ourselves and our natural tendency to react in ways that do not serve our true interests.But this obstacle can also become our biggest opportunity, Ury argues. If we learn to understand and influence ourselves first, we lay the groundwork for understanding and influencing others.

When Daniel Lubetzky started KIND Healthy Snacks in 2004 (inspired by his father, who survived the Holocaust thanks to the courageous kindness of strangers), he aimed to defy the conventional wisdom that snack bars could never be both tasty and healthy. A decade later, the transformative power of the companys philosophy made KIND the fastest-growing purveyor of healthy snacks in the country. Meanwhile, the KIND Movement (the companys social mission to make the world a little kinder) has sparked more than a million good deeds worldwide, inspiring new entrepreneurs to improve their bottom line and change the world.
Do the KIND Thing: Think Boundlessly, Work Purposefully, Live Passionately, by Daniel Lubetzky
Kevin Ashton is a technology pioneer at MIT and the leader of three successful start-ups. As a creator himself, he believes that not only the genius can come to a new invention, we all can, if we put in the time and effort. Ashton illustrates his thesis with a series of examples from art, science, business, and invention, from Mozart to the Muppets, Archimedes to Apple, Kandinsky to a can of Coke. How to Fly a Horse is a surprising journey through humanitys greatest creations and the truth behind who creates and how they do it.
