How do you define beauty? Do you consider yourself beautiful? Do others consider you beautiful? The most important aspect of beauty lies within--who you are on the inside. Yet, changing how you look on the outside can also make a big difference in your life: it can positively impact your confidence, change how people see you, and ultimately allow you to carry yourself vibrantly. Dennis Schimpf, MD, FACS, wrote Finding the New You: Think, See, and Feel Beautiful to help people understand everything they need to know about plastic surgery, including: the different plastic surgery procedures available to patients, how to spot myths and misconceptions about plastic surgery, how culture influences plastic surgery decisions, and the importance behind plastic surgery and its role in medicine. Plastic surgery is an art and a process, and the more people understand about the discipline, the more equipped they will be to handle expectations and limitations. In this update to his first book, Finding Beauty, Dennis Schimpf continues to battle the stigmas and misunderstandings behind plastic surgery to help you realize that, no matter the extent of the procedure, beauty starts with who you are on the inside.

Failing Opens the Door to Succeeding Too many efforts with potential game-changing outcomes are short circuited by the fear of failing; people with huge ideas become paralyzed by "what ifs," unable to see past the challenges of today. Dr. Akintoye Akindele and Olakunle Soriyan see "failure" and "failing" as two different realities and mindset. Failure is a destination, a windowless prison that does not exist unless you accept that it does. However, failing is a journey, a launchpad into new knowledge and new beginnings and the key to successful innovation and entrepreneurship. In A Love Affair with Failure, the authors aim to help emerging entrepreneurs be prepared for the inevitable challenges ahead and urge them to be resilient in pursuing their dreams, embracing the idea of failing not only as a prerequisite for achieving success, but also a victory in itself because it signifies having had the courage to take action. Drawing lessons from their own personal journey and from other sources ranging from Ancient Greece to today's best-known businesses and leaders while also revealing the incredible potential of Africa as a catalyst for entrepreneurial support and achievement, A Love Affair with Failure paints a compelling picture of a region uniquely positioned to become a global powerhouse in entrepreneurship.

The Most Important Moments in Forecasting Dating back to the ancient time of the venerated Oracle at Delphi, humans have been curious as to what the future has in store. The desire for foresight has been proven to be not only a subject of extreme curiosity but also one of considerable need.

It begins with the period leading up to the calamitous 1929 stock market crash and brings us through the decades, showing how the blend of technological advancements and business progression have advanced us to where we are today. Histories of the Future opens the potential for new and unique ways of understanding this core business process and gives light to an entirely new way of viewing the future.

What if you could catalyze your own transformation? Authors Rick and Amy Simmons first uncovered liminal space-the idea that periods of uncertainty have the power to reshape our lives-while studying abroad for their graduate program in organizational behavior. Shortly afterward, they began experimenting with another idea: rather than waiting for an inflection point to occur, they could launch it themselves-curating their own liminal experiences and accelerating their growth. Helping others navigate liminality and create it themselves became the heart of their work. Unleashed: Harnessing the Power of Liminal Space is a two-part guide, illuminating the potential of liminality for individuals, teams, and organizations, and breaking down its elements so readers can launch their own liminal experiences. With stories from leaders helming organizations of all sizes, from a regional health facility to a corporation with products in 90 percent of American homes, Unleashed provides the practical and theoretical insights necessary for transformation.A portion of the proceeds from this book will be used to support the telos Leadership Foundation.

Accountability Starts With You Are you a manager who struggles to get accountability right within your organization? Have you been faced with the need to hold someone accountable and either bulldozed your way through the encounter or talked yourself out of it with excuses like "I've already tried that," or "It's too risky"? If you've ever done a poor job of holding others accountable, this book can help you feel more comfortable with how you gain ownership from employees. Own Up! addresses the big myths, everyday hesitations, and all the other stories we tell ourselves about what it means and how much time and effort it takes to create a culture of responsibility. Author Jennifer Thero Long's central insight is that lack of clarity around ownership is responsible for all the drama that accountability conversations (done poorly) entail. It's the drama, and not actual accountability, that demands our extra attention, time, and energy. To combat misunderstandings and self-defeating assumptions, she guides readers through a series of practical and immediately implementable steps for achieving accountability in any situation. Own Up! shows how clarifying ownership¿of expectations on the one hand and duties on the other¿is the key activity by which accountability is established and maintained. Accountability done well takes very little time and energy, and its results include immediate gain in employee performance and execution, reduced work and workarounds, increased trust between individuals, and greater employee reliability.

MARKETING TEAMS ARE THE CREATIVE HEARTS OF ORGANIZATIONS. We bring products to life and connect them to living, breathing customers. Without us, our companies would crash and burn. And yet it often seems we don¿t get the respect¿or the budgets¿we deserve. Where is the love? The reason our companies don¿t love us is that they see us as cost centers rather than revenue centers. So how do we change that perception (and that reality)? How do we become provable, dependable sources of revenue? By changing our relationship with our customers. By turning them into raving advocates and long-term clients. We need to stop viewing customers through the lens of the traditional sales funnel. F the Funnel offers us a new model for thinking about the entire customer acquisition cycle¿the Loop¿which focuses on building relationships of trust rather than closing sales in a one-off way.

MAKE A VOW TO GOOD HEALTH How much time each year do you spend interacting with a doctor? A vast majority of people spend less than 1 percent of their time in clinical interactions. While clinical care is certainly vital, it affects only 30 percent of our overall health status.

We deserve a healthcare system that systematically supports our daily living needs to complement clinical care. Not Just in Sickness ... But Also in Health details how we can create the next generation of benefit plans, including an intelligent ecosystem of personalized resources, capable of supporting how each person can achieve and sustain their optimal health.Drawing on his decades of experience, Margolis explains how existing healthcare industry players, technology companies, and government can enact a systematic consumer-centric approach to move the United States and the world from a system of sickcare to one of health optimization for all.

We¿ve all read the cybersecurity horror stories: a prominent company exposes the private information of their customers only to scramble after the fact to apologize and safeguard the data.

With the innovative 5 Pillars of Security Framework, any C-level executive can understand their organization¿s cyber risk and the steps they need to take to protect their information. There¿s a cyber-elephant in the boardroom and it needs to be addressed!

In his book, Another Big Lie, author Tim Pagliara details the decade-long fight over the government¿s role in regulating a safe and sound mortgage market. At the heart of the story is the contrarian bet investors made to buy Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac¿government sponsored entities, GSEs¿securities in the heat of the mortgage crisis in late 2008. This is the story of how a select group of GSE investors exposed the government¿s theft of billions of dollars from the American dream of homeownership. Madison opined in the Federalist papers that ¿If Men were Angels¿ we wouldn¿t need government. And yet, in Another Big Lie, Pagliara examines what happens when all three branches of government¿executive, legislative, and judicial¿fail, exposing the truth about the housing market, a corrupt legislative process in the Senate, and the various attempts that tried and failed to blame the financial crisis on the GSEs.
