A stunningly contrarian entry into the business book market, this powerful treatise defines a business philosophy with an extensive track record of creating corporate quantum performance. It challenges the reader to embrace a radical transformation that will enrich the company, its employees, and its shareholders. Michael Hendren's maverick and extraordinarily successful leadership style, centered on a compassionate but demanding spiritual love, is reflected in his "Ten Commandments of Spiritual Capitalism." # l Define Business as a Spiritual Experience #2 Don't Shrink or Play Small in this World #3 Dare to Love and the Numbers Will Follow #4 Embrace Leadership as a Sacred Responsibility #5 Develop Management into an Art #6 Empower Them with Ownership #7 Transcend to the Higher Level #8 Don't Take It All So Seriously #9 Count Your Blessings #10 The Truth Will Set You Free He provides the theoretical and practical basis of this compelling approach to creating quantum performance as well as an intrinsically fulfilling professional environment. Unlike other business books written by consultants, academics, and those without a credible track record, Spiritual Capitalism details the transformative managerial strategies that will elevate business-as-usual's best practices into breakthrough quantum performance in everyday, real-world interactions. The unique power of SPIRITUAL CAPITALISM is in providing a profound path that can take anyone to a level of extraordinary achievement that offers not only an exceptional financial return but also enhanced meaning in your life. This wise business philosophy enriches the mind while it venerates the soul. Mr. Hendren's personal story of overcoming a background of daunting obstacles to reach the pinnacle of professional and financial achievement dramatically illustrates the force behind his liberating approach to professional and personal transcendence. His impeccable track record with small, medium, and large companies in both domestic and international markets empirically validates this innovative and fulfilling philosophy on business and life.

Dumped, duped, and depressed, Joni Herrschwitz has nearly given up when a serendipitous meeting with brazen, former professional mermaid Ruby Witherspoon puts her on a life-altering adventure in a yellow cab headed south. From New York to Florida, Ruby, Joni, and their mysterious cab driver, Maria Muñoz, learn what really matters in life as they stop at every tacky tourist trap they pass. Their destination is Weeki Wachee, a forgotten Florida roadside attraction where mermaids have performed since the 1940s. When Ruby neglects to inform her stick-in-the-mud daughters of her travel plans, they send out an alert, and to their chagrin, the entire country gets involved in the search. And when a New York shock jock starts to tango with Ruby on the radio, things get chaotic - and dangerous. The road to Weeki Wachee is lined with laughter, romance and life. Just open your eyes and swim along for the ride. ----- Oprah introduced the world to Fawn Germer, saying how "very inspiring" her writing was.

A four-time Pulitzer-nominated journalist, she was a correspondent for The Washington Post and U.S. News and World Report.

Mustangs were the original wild horses of the West: tough, agile, quick to learn-and unwilling to run with the herd. And, like the daring woman in the famous song, today's Mustang Sallies question the rules, challenge the status quo, and dare to make a little noise. Award-winning journalist Fawn Germer has written an engaging, provocative guide for women determined to charge ahead and succeed on their own terms. Based on original interviews with more than 50 world-famous trailblazers-from Hillary Clinton to Erin Brockovich to Martina Navratilova and Susan Sarandon. Now, every woman can harness the tools to becoming a Mustang Sally: - Be comfortable with discomfort - Don't sell out-compromise - Win arguments without making enemies - Manage the emotional challenges of leaving the herd behind - Create a sisterhood of support The world can slow a woman down, but the words of these wise mustangs hold the key to inspiration, motivation, and personal achievement. From Publishers Weekly: Mustangs are wild, tough and agile. Mustang Sallies are too, says one-time Washington Post reporter Germer (Hard Won Wisdom). They don't go along to get along at work, and that can bring troubles. Germer's advice, based on her own experience and her interviews with women as diverse as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Martina Navratilova and Susan Sarandon, is: Don't mute yourself, be bold, "take your power and use it for yourself." Germer intersperses short chapters quoting directly from notable women she has interviewed with thematically organized chapters ("I Am What I Am"; "Choose Your Battles"; "Verbal Combat") exploring various aspects of how to thrive as an independent-minded, outspoken, self-assured woman. Germer's advice is specific and illuminating: for instance, "verbal sparring is normal" in the business world, she notes, with clear advice on how to engage in battle. If you've ever felt judged and isolated at work for being who you are, Germer's book offers support, encouragement and strategies for coming through with your self and your goals intact.

Finding the UP in the Downturn How To Turn The Economic Meltdown Into Your Greatest Opportunity Fannie...Freddie...Citi...AIG...Bear Stearns...General Motors...Wall Street... Gas...Health care... There's no hiding the ugly truth about the way things are these days. 'Things' are terrible. Look at all those indicators: Inflation. Unemployment. Housing. Automobiles. Stocks. Income... And yet... There is a Chinese proverb that says, "Fall down seven times, get up eight." Right now, as your co-workers, neighbors, friends and family members swallow their daily dose of bad news and see only bad times ahead, take a deep breath. While everyone else is giving in or giving up, your moment has arrived. Whether you want to gain ground in your corporate job, have recently been laid off, or are flirting with starting a business, a downturn can be the right time to charge ahead. Best-selling author Fawn Germer shows us how the one variable we can control - ourselves -- is our most powerful weapon in the battle for prosperity and success. Germer documents that now is not the time to stop, but to accelerate. Germer's theory: • Expect the worst, and you'll get it. • When everyone else gives up, the window is wide open for those who don't. • You can profit from a failing economy. • If you give yourself an inch to fail, you will fail. • You never know how close you are to turning the corner until you turn the corner. • Companies are crying out for leadership, so stand up and lead. • When you fall down, get back up! FAWN GERMER once had a boss tell her she wasn't going anywhere. Germer showed him. This bestselling author of five books has interviewed hundreds of the nation's most famous leaders and trailblazers to get their strategies and insights on success for her bestselling books. Germer lives by the motto, "Fall Down Seven Times, Get up Eight." She is a four-time Pulitzer-nominated journalist who wrote for The Washington Post, U.S. News and World Report and The Miami Herald. When she left journalism to write her first book, she encountered every obstacle imaginable. Her book was rejected by every major U.S. publisher, then released the day before 9/11. Germer's perseverance made that book a bestseller and turned Oprah Winfrey into a fan. When Oprah told the world how "very inspiring" Germer's writing was, her speaking career took off. She now keynotes for major corporations and organizations around the globe.
