MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES for the 21st Century
Peter F. Drucker discusses how the new paradigms of management have changed and will continue to change our basic assumptions about the practices and principles of management. Forward-looking and forward-thinking, Management Challenges for the 21st Century combines the broad knowledge, wide practical experience, profound insight, sharp analysis, and enlightened common sense that are the essence of Drucker's writings and "landmarks of the managerial profession." --Harvard Business Review
A Functioning Society
Peter F. Drucker may be best known as a writer on business and management, but these subjects were not his foremost intellectual concern. Druckerâs primary concerns were community, in which the individual has status, and society, in which the individual has function. Here he has assembled selections from his vast writings on these subjects. This collection presents the full range of Druckerâs thought on community, society, and political structure and constitutes an ideal introduction to his ideas. The volume is divided into seven parts. The selections in parts 1 and 2 were mostly written during World War Two and in the wake of the Great Depression. Part 3 deals with the limits of governmental competence in the social and economic realm. It contains some of Druckerâs most influential writings concerned with the difference between big government and effective government. The chapters in part 4 explore autonomous centers of power outside government and within society. Part 5 contains chapters from Druckerâs path-breaking work on the corporation as a social organization rather than merely an economic one. The rise of the so-called "knowledge industries" forms the background for part 6. The concluding part 7 is devoted entirely to Druckerâs long essay "The Next Society." Drucker examines the emergence of new institutions and new theories arising from the information revolution and the social changes they are helping to bring about. In organizing these representative writings, Drucker chose to be topical rather than chronological, with each excerpt presenting a basic theme of his lifeâs work. As is characteristic of his efforts, A Functioning Society appeals both the general reader as well as a cross-disciplinary scholarly readership.
Post-Capitalist Society

This searching and incisive analysis of the major world transformation now taking place shows how it will affect society,economics, business, and politics and explains how we are movingfrom a society based on capital, land, and labor to a society whoseprimary source is knowIedge and whose key structure is theorganization.

Louder than Words
The next step in personal effectiveness, by the acclaimed author of The Accidental Creative and Die Empty. There has never been a better time to build an audience around your idea or product. But with so many people and companies clamoring for attention, it’s also more challenging than ever to do work that deeply resonates with the marketplace and creates true and lasting impact.According to Todd Henry, the key to standing apart from the noise is to find your unique voice. Those who identify and develop their voices will gain more attention and wield more influence. But first they have to identify what they truly stand for, develop a compelling vision, and become masters of expressing their ideas in whatever media they choose. Henry offers strategies, exercises, and true stories that illustrate the five attributes of resonant work: • Authenticity: Uncover the narratives that are at the core of your personal and professional identity.• Uniqueness: Identify what makes your work distinct from that of others, and learn to creatively package and present your message.• Consonance: Cultivate internal consistency and harmony in your work.• Empathy: Listen to your audience’s aspirations and struggles to make your message more compelling.• Timing: Learn how to coordinate your work with ideas that already have cultural momentum. Making your work speak is a life-long process of trial, error, and realignment. Henry’s book will help readers build a body of work that resonates deeply and achieves lasting impact.

Trauma and Recovery
In this groundbreaking book, a leading clinical psychiatrist redefines how we think about and treat victims of trauma. A "stunning achievement" that remains a "classic for our generation." (Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., author of The Body Keeps the Score).Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.
INFLUENCING AND BEING INFLUENCED
In many of the occasions in life, we see everything in a simple dogmatic way.We are used with different kinds of results and believe that these represents the only case scenarios that can happen.We want something else, but don’t really believe that life can bring us the ... goodies.We predict the future, according to the past.But you know, same story, with the same elements can also have a different result than we are used to expect.We can influence reality ... just by expecting something totally different that we used to have.For example ... there are cases when the Universe is sending us the same lesson on and on and on ... till the day when we understand that we need to do things differently to get a different result ... andimprove everything happens.Sometimes we are good theoreticians, sometimes we can’t even see clearly reality and understand the meaning of the events ... especially the negative ones.But having optimistic standards can help us break any problem ... and in the end influence the energetic field of any situation, event .. oreven the energetic field of other people.And when i use the term ... energetic field ... i mean the environment itself, with all its attributes that defines everything in a certain way.I can give a simple example.I was in a morning in my garden, reading a book.I was on a chair, in a specific place from my garden ... and i use to use that place by almost 10 years.From that point, i see the beauty of my garden in a specific way, but because it was a very hot day, and the sun came in that point, i hadto move the chair in a different place from the garden, not to stay anymore in the sun.I was amazed.I almost saw a different garden from that position.I loved it ... but everything was a totally different perspective.This was a simple case scenario ... seeing even something beautiful, from a different angle and almost believe is something else.But in theory, and even in practice, we can have even negative perspectives totally metamorphosized into positive one.We can change the script of any scenario, by re-evaluate everything ... just by expecting of getting a positive result ... the one we desire.This is how, only by having an opened mind, ignoring the statistical datas from your past, the one that defines the probability of having acertain scenario ... we can actually influence, but also change the reality itself.And what we define as miracle ... is in fact just changing the believe into the fact that ... life can be also the way we dare to dream.Truth be told, the reality can be created or even re-created in any way we want it to happen.All we need to do is to connect to that energetic field, which actually means ... be one with the present moment ... and expect aseverything should happen in a specific way that you want.Even the miracle itself is just a different result ... the one that we had in mind and wanted.So ... realities can be defined, redefined, but also written in any specific way.A hollywoodian movie ... has amazing scenes and all the scenes are a telling the details of the story ... so that it will have a powerfulmessage, but also powerful impact on you.You connect with the reality of those scenes, but most probably the same scene was filmed by 5th - 7th ... even 15th times, till theyconsidered they had the perfect one.The same way, certain events could be redefined by us, just by meditating, finding the best solution for that event ... and thenimplemented in the real life.And try ... and try again ... till the moment it just happens.And the life can look like a hollywoodian movie also ... by using the power of re-evaluation, re-defining and keeping an opened mind,expecting all the time positive scenarios for our lives.We are the creators of our reality ... by conscious or unconscious thoughts ... but in the end we should keep in our mind that whatlooks like a negative script, might be just a life lesson ... not finding yet the right path in life ... but every scenario can be re written in theway we want it to happen.The key?! I mean the key of getting out of the labyrinth ... is connecting to that reality ... that energetic field ... and have greatexpectations from it.So ... even if you don’t know it yet ... there is an art of influencing reality and you can learn it.
BEYOND THE NONSENSE … THERE IS A PATH
And one day .... you see no difference between your world and the life in North Korea ... but you don’t know whyWhen i began to study the nonsense ... i realized that ... behind the nonsense there is a path that we can’t see.When i say nonsense ... i mean all our silly actions ... or thoughts.We live in a robotic way ... and even if we are not happy in the present moment ... we just continue everything in the same way ... on and on and on.One day, we even start to believe that we live in a prison ... or prisons.The job is a prison.The marriage is a prison.Everything around ... is just a repetitive way of living ... having no sense at all.There is no joy of being alive.You actually have a life similar with the one of the people from North Korea ... but the problem is that you are the dictator ... and you was the one that somehow chose the prison ... or even built it.No one forced you to go at the job you have now and actually you can change it anytime.No one forced you to get married and in fact you can change the partner ... or just ... simple divorce.You see no difference between your world and the life in North Korea ... but you don’t know why.Well ... let me tell you the truth.You accepted the nonsense as your main way of living your life.You are the one that is responsible for your unhappiness ... and in fact ... you are also the one that could change everything right away.The nonsense is a pathless path ... that actually goes to your soul.Accepting its presence ... defining it ... you realize that beyond it ... there is indeed a path.The present moment.Enjoy it!The prison ... even if it is only metaphoric ... or a real one ... is the best place you could be ... but you need to understand that the only secret is that we should enjoy life and feel alive.
