Enriched will challenge your conventional notion of success and the pursuit of wealth. If it speaks to you, it means you are ready to move beyond the stresses and demands of the 'work you do for a living' and begin the journey towards working out why you are alive. In Enriched, Sikkema openly shares his story – from shy Dutch immigrant kid just trying to fit in, to self-made millionaire and CEO of one of the most successful financial planning firms in Australia. However, regardless of the enviable success he achieved, serious cracks were developing beneath the surface. Through a series of life-changing events, John discovered that no amount of money, status or success will truly be fulfilling until you find your life purpose. And once you do, you can finally have the life you always dreamed of. Enriched - Re-defining wealth is much more than a compelling autobiography. It offers a practical blueprint for identifying changes you want to make in your life, and then provides a method for initiating those changes.

A Behind-the-Scenes Look At NASA's incredible Journey to the Moon Space journalist and insider Nancy Atkinson weaves together the riveting story of NASA's mission to complete "the greatest adventure on which humankind ever embarked." This incredible account is a keepsake celebrating some of the most important and dramatic events in modern history. Told through over 60 personal interviews and oral histories, as well as personal photographs, this tribute to the men and women who made the Apollo 11 mission a reality chronicles the highs and lows that accompanied the race to the Moon: the devastating flash fire that killed the crew of Apollo 1; the awe of those who saw their years-in-the-making contributions to space exploration blast off from Cape Canaveral; the knuckle-biting descent of Apollo 11 to the lunar surface; a near-catastrophic event on the crew's flight home; the infectious excitement and jubilation across the world after the astronauts returned safely to Earth. These little-known stories of the dedicated engineers, mathematicians and scientists in the 1960s reveal the "hows" of the Apollo missions and bring to life the wonder and excitement of humanity's first steps on the Moon.

A sensual tale of art, lust, and deception-now a major motion picture In 1630s Amsterdam, tulipomania has seized the populace. Everywhere men are seduced by the fantastic exotic flower. But for wealthy merchant Cornelis Sandvoort, it is his young and beautiful wife, Sophia, who stirs his soul. She is the prize he desires, the woman he hopes will bring him the joy that not even his considerable fortune can buy. Cornelis yearns for an heir, but so far he and Sophia have failed to produce one. In a bid for immortality, he commissions a portrait of them both by the talented young painter Jan van Loos. But as Van Loos begins to capture Sophia's likeness on canvas, a slow passion begins to burn between the beautiful young wife and the talented artist. As the portrait unfolds, so a slow dance is begun among the household's inhabitants. Ambitions, desires, and dreams breed a grand deception-and as the lies multiply, events move toward a thrilling and tragic climax. In this richly imagined international bestseller, Deborah Moggach has created the rarest of novels-a lush, lyrical work of fiction that is also compulsively readable. Seldom has a novel so vividly evoked a time, a place, and a passion. Praise for Tulip Fever "Sumptuous prose . . . reads like a thriller."-The New York Times Book Review "An artful novel in every sense of the word . . . deftly evokes seventeenth-century Amsterdam's vibrant atmosphere."-Los Angeles Times "Need a brief escape into a beautiful and faraway world? Deborah Moggach's wonderful Tulip Fever can offer you that."-New York Post "Taut with suspense and unexpected revelations."-Entertainment Weekly "Elegantly absorbing."-The Philadelphia Inquirer

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille comes a suspenseful new novel featuring Detective John Corey and an all-too-plausible conspiracy to detonate a nuclear bomb in two major American cities. Welcome to the Custer Hill Club--an informal men's club set in a luxurious Adirondack hunting lodge whose members include some of America's most powerful business leaders, military men, and government officials. Ostensibly, the club is a place to gather with old friends, hunt, eat, drink, and talk off-the-record about war, life, death, sex and politics. But one Fall weekend, the Executive Board of the Custer Hill Club gathers to talk about the tragedy of 9/11 and what America must do to retaliate. Their plan is finalized and set into motion. That same weekend, a member of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force is reported missing. His body is soon discovered in the woods near the Custer Hill Club's game reserve. The death appears to be a hunting accident, and that's how the local police first report it, but Detective John Corey has his doubts. As he digs deeper, he begins to unravel a plot involving the Custer Hill Club, a top-secret plan known only by its code name: Wild Fire. Racing against the clock, Detective Corey and his wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, find they are the only people in a position to stop the button from being pushed and chaos from being unleashed.

The book begins with a chase through the streets of Calcutta in May 1916. Lieutenant Peake pauses for breath outside the ruins of the Jheeter's Gate station knowing that he only has a few hours to live. Inside his overcoat he is sheltering two newborn babies - twins, a boy and a girl. Pursued by his would-be assassins, Peake runs at full tilt to the house of Aryami Bose, to whom he entrusts the children. In 1932 we meet the boy, Ben, and his group of friends the night before they are due to leave St Patricks orphanage. They have formed a secret club, The Chowbar Society, that meets each week at midnight in the old ruin they have christened The Midnight Palace. Their final meeting is due that evening but then Aryami Bose turns up at the orphanage with Sheere, Ben's sister, and tells them the story of the parents they never knew. Their father was an engineer and writer who died in tragic circumstances at the inauguration of Jheeter's Gate station. But as the novel unfolds, there is more to this story than meets the eye and they are lured by a shadowy figure from the past into a final showdown in the ruins.

Der Wall-Street-Journal-Bestseller! Über 3,5 Millionen verkaufte Exemplare weltweit. Dieses Buch ist ein globales Phänomen. Es wurde in 43 Sprachen publiziert und ist auf 5 Kontinenten zum Bestseller geworden. Die meisten Unternehmen liefern sich erbitterte Kämpfe mit ihren Konkurrenten - um Kunden, Wettbewerbsvorteile und Marktanteile. Und trotzdem wird es für sie immer schwieriger, nachhaltig profitables Wachstum zu erreichen. Der bahnbrechende Bestseller von W. Chan Kim und Renée Mauborgne stellt das bisherige strategische Denken auf den Kopf: Wer sich auf den Kampf mit seinen Konkurrenten einlässt, hat schon verloren. Wer dagegen ganz neue Märkte schafft, wo es keine Konkurrenz gibt, kann satte Gewinne einfahren und seine Wettbewerber getrost vergessen. "Der Blaue Ozean als Strategie" präsentiert einen systematischen Ansatz, wie man Konkurrenz irrelevant macht, und legt Prinzipien und Methoden vor, mit der jede Organisation ihre eigenen "Blauen Ozeane" erobern kann. Dieses Hörbuch zeigt: -wie man die Grenzen bestehender Märkte kraftvoll erweitert; -wie man ganz neue Märkte erschliesst; -wie man bisher unerfüllte Kundenbedürfnisse erkennt und befriedigt. Wer das kann, bestimmt selbst die Regeln des Spiels, statt sich ihnen zu unterwerfen und entwirft einen kühnen neuen Weg in die Zukunft. W. Chan Kim und Renée Mauborgne sind Professoren für Strategie am INSEAD sowie Co-Direktoren des INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute. Sie sind Mitglieder des Weltwirtschaftsforums und Gründer des Blue Ocean Global Network. Original title: Blue Ocean Strategy, Expanded Edition.

liveright publishing corporation the capital

Trouver informations, conseils et prix pour liveright publishing corporation the capital il est vendu 41.9 € , présent dans la catégorie Bücher & Zeitschriften, ce produit est fabriqué par Liveright Publishing Corporation et est vendu par Orellfuessli.ch

A highly inventive novel of ideas written in the rich European tradition, The Capital transports readers to the cobblestoned streets of twenty-first-century Brussels. Chosen as the European Union's symbolic capital in 1958, this elusive setting has never been examined so intricately in literature. Translated with "zest, pace and wit" (Spectator) by Jamie Bulloch, Robert Menasse's The Capital plays out the effects of a fiercely nationalistic "union." Recalling the Balzacian conceit of assembling a vast parade of characters whose lives conspire to form a driving central plot, Menasse adapts this technique with modern sensibility to reveal the hastily assembled capital in all of its eccentricities. We meet, among others, Fenia Xenopoulou, a Greek Cypriot recently "promoted" to the Directorate-General for Culture. When tasked with revamping the boring image of the European Commission with the Big Jubilee Project, she endorses her Austrian assistant Martin Sussman's idea to proclaim Auschwitz as its birthplace-of course, to the horror of the other nation states. Meanwhile, Inspector Émile Brunfaut attempts to solve a gritty murder being suppressed at the highest level; Matek, a Polish hitman who regrets having never become a priest, scrambles after taking out the wrong man; and outraged pig farmers protest trade restrictions as a brave escapee squeals through the streets. These narratives and more are masterfully woven, revealing the absurdities-and real dangers-of a fracturing Europe. A tour de force from one of Austria's most esteemed novelists, The Capital is a mordantly funny and piercingly urgent saga of the European Union, and an aerial feat of sublime world literature.
