El proposito de este libro es ensenar a los lectores a entender porque son, como son. El porque de su conducta. Indicarles el camino hacia una vida diferente a la que han llevado hasta ahora y como esta, puede estar llena de satisfacciones y triunfos si asi lo desean. Que no todo en la vida esta perdido y se pueden llegar a convertir en grandes y apreciadas personas. Es necesario que los lectores comprendan que no todo es su culpa. Pero que culpar a los demas tampoco es la solucion a sus problemas. Que existe una forma sencilla de lograr el cambio, si estan dispuestos y convencidos de lograrlo. Si abren sus mentes y corazones a nuevos conocimientos y corrigen los errores que ellos no cometieron, pero que estan pagando. He clasifi cado a las personas en cuatro grupos, de acuerdo a la informacion que han recibido desde su concepcion. Esto no es un estudio cientifi co, es solamente el resultado de un analisis personal que he hecho durante varios anos. Es un analisis artesanal hecho dia tras dia, observando el comportamiento de personas sin ninguna limitacion cognitiva, (aunque si se han incluido personas con limitaciones fisicas y motoras) personas que esten en capacidad de dirigir - sin ninguna clase de ayuda - sus propias vidas. Se ha analizado la relacion con sus padres, el estimulo que ellos les brindaron desde su ninez y su relacion con profesores y otros adultos. Las expectativas de vida a la que aspiran, sus relaciones interpersonales, sus necesidades emocionales, su desarrollo personal, sus debilidades, sus complejos, su ego, su desarrollo espiritual y el desarrollo de sus capacidades de superacion. Utilizo en esta clasifi cacion un vocabulario simple para que sea facil de entender.

From the NPR host of The Indicator and correspondent for Planet Money comes an "accessible, funny, clear-eyed, and practical" (Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author) guide for how women can apply the principles of 16th-century philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli to their work lives and finally shatter the glass ceiling--perfect for fans of Feminist Fight Club, Lean In, and Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office. Women have been making strides towards equality for decades, or so we're often told. They've been increasingly entering male-dominated areas of the workforce and consistently surpassing their male peers in grades, university attendance, and degrees. They've recently stormed the political arena with a vengeance. But despite all of this, the payoff is--quite literally--not there: the gender pay gap has held steady at about 20% since 2000. And the number of female CEOs for Fortune 500 companies has actually been declining. So why, in the age of #MeToo and #TimesUp, is the glass ceiling still holding strong? And how can we shatter it for once and for all? Stacy Vanek Smith's advice: ask Machiavelli "with this delicious look at what we have to gain by examining our relationship to power" (Sally Helgesen, New York Times bestselling author). Using The Prince as a guide and with charm and wit, Smith applies Renaissance politics to the 21st century, and demonstrates how women can take and maintain power in careers where they have long been cast as second-best. "Machiavelli For Women is the ultimate battle guide for our times. Brimming with hard-boiled strategies, laced with wit, it's a must-read for every woman ready to wield power unapologetically" (Claire Shipman, coauthor of The Confidence Code).

Phillip C. Reinke writes lovingly of the fifteen-year relationship he shared with his mentor, "a present-day Socrates, ancient yet wise beyond his years," a man who gave him timeless advice. My Mentor: Direction for Twenty-First Century Leadership relates experiences that range from humorous to heart-warming to heart-breaking, "each having a life-changing lesson that made me a better person for having been a participant. I wanted the readers to share in the wisdom of my mentor and also show people who mentor the methods and techniques of a good mentor." His book shows how important one inspiring person can be in another's life. "With each new lesson, each new story, you become more engaged and find yourself sitting in the author's shoes; almost as if his mentor was talking to you too. Although his name is not revealed, which adds to his intriguing stature, the author's mentor commands your attention and respect ...His insights are truly thought provoking and will have you revisiting many of your own core beliefs!" - David P. Leib, Founder Mentorfly, www.mentorfly.com "I now know that a mentor is more than a confidant. It's a teacher, motivator and life-long friend. It is an important element of success." - Laura London, Cambridge University graduate student and former Director of International Alliances for Kaplan University Phillip C.
