No matter who you are or what you aim to achieve, power determines whether you succeed or fail. But while power dynamics permeate every interaction in the workplace, the concept is very poorly understood or managed in practice. Everyone has influence over some people and is under the influence of others, and must choose how to deal with these realities in daily interactions. This book offers a comprehensive and applied understanding of power in a professional scenario: where it comes from, how it moves, and what that means in practice for how professionals work together.

Paddling a canoe into the sunrise. Watching a child take her first kayak ride with her father. Dodging campfire smoke while burning marshmallows and telling scary stories to wide-eyed kids. These are some of the moments and memories depicted in Summers at the Lake.

These prose poems capture the joy of simple, lakeside living and quiet reflection.

This book explains why the author chose to abandon his life's work and close his gym forever. It came from the realization that the issues causing most people to seek health and fitness advice are never resolved with the minutiae of programs, routines, rules, diets, or weight loss, because those issues are internal struggles first. The only lasting resolution is an optimized spirit. A Mild Case of Dead contains stories from years of fitness coaching and owning a health club that reveal the empty promise of time spent in the gym and counting calories.

The ability to empathize with people is a skill that we are taught, and not one that some people have naturally, or that society is able to cultivate—it comes from within each of us. Empathy can create strong bonds between humans, but it can also bring about conflict and hate. Empathy is a type of emotional awareness that is part of the understanding process. Empathy can be defined as "the capacity to recognize, understand, and share another person's feelings without being consciously aware of it".
