"To imagine--to see what is not there--is the startling ability that has fueled human development and innovation through the centuries. As a species we stand alone in our remarkable capacity to refashion the world after the picture in our minds. Traversing the realms of science, politics, religion, culture, philosophy, and history, Felipe Fernández-Armesto reveals the thrilling and disquieting tales of our imaginative leaps--from the first Homo sapiens to the present day. Through groundbreaking insights in cognitive science, Fernández-Armesto explores how and why we have ideas in the first place, providing a tantalizing glimpse into who we are and what we might yet accomplish. Unearthing historical evidence, he begins by reconstructing the thoughts of our Paleolithic ancestors to reveal the subtlety and profundity of the thinking of early humans. A masterful paean to the human imagination from a wonderfully elegant thinker, Out of Our Minds shows that bad ideas are often more influential than good ones; that the oldest recoverable thoughts include some of the best; that ideas of Western origin often issued from exchanges with the wider world; and that the pace of innovative thinking is under threat." --

"Payal has beautifully defined success as to 'reach where you want from where you are.' She emphasizes rightful karma or focused execution to keep you on the right path so that you are always walking in a direction that takes you toward your goal." Dr. Arun Arora, CEO, EDVANCE "This book is full of practical tips on how to become a successful leader and the best part is Payal has narrated it wonderfully with appropriate fables and relevant case studies. Her entrepreneurial attitude and impactful wisdom are commendable and evident in the IPL series." Swapna Hari, Director, Cognizant "This book by Payal Nanjiani will join the best of business literature for emphasizing attitude as our biggest asset." Swami Mukundananda of Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog (JKYog) Institute Gathering insights from 20 years of the author's executive coaching in the United States and abroad, this book presents 21 mindfulness strategies for business leaders, corporate heads, entrepreneurs, and professionals. During the author's coaching sessions for business and corporate leaders and her trainings at corporations, mid-sized businesses, small businesses, and start-up organizations, she discovered that there is a wide gap between those who achieve success and those who do not. This gap indicates that there is still something significant missing in the business world. Success Is Within fills this gap by encouraging business professionals to "mind the mind." Written in accessible, easy-to-digest language, and targeted towards busy US business professionals who long for thought-leadership to boost their success, the book argues that success depends on changing one's mindset in key ways. Each chapter focuses on one way to transform one's mindset to achieve success. The union of these 21 ways provides a uniquely comprehensive program for leadership success in business and corporate careers. Drawing from a blend of Eastern and Western wisdom, the book blends true-life storytelling about the challenges of actual business professionals with insights drawn from traditional parables from classic "wisdom books" to inspire readers to think-through how to transform their mindsets. Ultimately, the book helps magnify one's inner power: the power of one's mind. The book calls on business professionals to unleash their "inner leader." When they recognize the power of their inner leader, they will become unstoppable.

Parmi les diverses modalités que se donne la pensée critique, figurent, aux extrémités du spectre, d'un côté l'exposé systématique, de l'autre l'approche fragmentaire. C'est cette dernière démarche qui caractérise Feux croisés, enquête où se déploie un enchaînement de thèmes qui forment une constellation de pensées touchant à l'art, la littérature, la philosophie, la science, la critique sociale et politique, la relation de l'homme à l'histoire et à la nature. L'auteur poursuit de façon performative ses recherches sur l'histoire de la critique, notamment à l'époque des Lumières. Le choix du fragment s'inscrit dans la tradition d'écriture illustrée par Gracián, Chamfort, Lichtenberg et, plus près de nous, Adorno. Servi par un style expressif et incisif, le questionnement tend ici à la mise au jour d'éléments significatifs pour une critique de notre temps, envisagés dans leurs rapports contradictoires ou complémentaires. Feux croisés se place ainsi sous le signe de l'avenir, renouant avec l'élan des lumières de l'utopie. Le dernier mot n'appartient pas au présent. [source éditeur]
