Acclaimed CEO, TED Speaker, and Entrepreneurship Professor James Rhee shares the inspirational true story of finding success through kindness (plus a little math). Learn the deceptively simple and positive way to embrace your agency, lead change, and fly free--in the business of life and the life of business.

In kindergarten, James Rhee received a toy red helicopter in gratitude for a simple act of generosity--sharing his lunch. Decades later, the lesson from that small gift led him to develop a human-centered framework for business and personal achievement that helped him overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles and find unprecedented success.

Rhee was a high school teacher turned private equity investor when he unexpectedly took the helm of Ashley Stewart, an iconic company predominantly employing and serving Black women. Inspired by the values his dying Korean immigrant parents instilled in him, he knew that a radically different--yet familiar--approach was required to lead this twice-bankrupt company from certain liquidation to true transcendence. The entire world bet against him and Ashley, but Rhee trusted his instincts to identify, measure, and leverage the intangible goodwill at the company's core, a decision which ultimately multiplied its fortunes several times over.

By combining the clarity and imagination we had as children with fundamental business metrics, anyone can apply this refreshingly intuitive approach to lead change at work and at home. While eloquently sharing a story of personal and professional success, red helicopter presents a comforting yet bold solution to the dissatisfaction and worry we all feel in a chaotic and sometimes terrifying world. The insights and knowledge that Rhee imparts have been accumulated over decades of investing and leading at the highest levels of business. Drawing on this experience, he encourages us to trust the wisdom deep inside each of us so we can learn how to:

Create and measure "goodwill," the ultimate collective goodDiscover agency and the truth about kindness it entailsIdentify the invisible obstacles standing in your wayLead transformational change through small, scalable acts Construct an accurate "balance sheet" of our assets and liabilitiesReorient our lives, organizations, and the world to reflect the best in us

A poignant and uplifting celebration of humanity, red helicopter--a parable for our times is a beautiful literary tale of struggle and triumph, as well as a clear, instructional path to create a more sustainable balance between life, money, and joy for both ourselves and others.

red helicopter--a parable for our times features approximately 20 original illustrations by Korean artist Heyon Cho.

Esta guía cruda y amorosa hacia el autocuidado y el amor propio empodera a las lectoras y las invita a aceptar los poderes de la Diosa que llevan dentro.

En este libro intensamente inspirador, la psicoterapeuta Christine Gutiérrez invita a las mujeres a unírsele para sanar heridas de traumas o golpes del pasado con el fin de reclamar su valor y regresar al hogar que es su auténtico yo y su verdadera alma.

Diosa es la palabra en español para Goddess. Una diosa es cualquiera que honre la energía femenina primigenia en el mundo y dentro de su ser. De acuerdo con Gutiérrez, las diosas enfrentan obstáculos en su vida, pero siempre están listas y deseosas de ir a su centro para reclamar su valor interno y su autoestima. Son las que se levantan de sus cenizas y se atreven a reconstruirse hueso a hueso y pedacito a pedacito del alma. Desde historias de resiliencia tanto de Gutiérrez como de miembros de la Tribu Diosa hasta mantras, meditaciones y entradas de diarios, este libro proporciona a las mujeres las herramientas que necesitan para honrar su feminidad sagrada y convertirse en lo que siempre estuvieron destinadas a ser.

Yo soy Diosa inspirará a las mujeres a permitirse sentir, ser vistas, ser escuchadas y regresar a su más auténtico yo.

This raw and relatable guide to radical self-care and self-love empowers readers to embrace the powerful Diosa within.

In this fiercely inspiring book, psychotherapist Christine Gutierrez welcomes women to join her in healing the wounds from past hurt or trauma to reclaim their worth and come back home to their true self and soul.

Diosa is the Spanish word for Goddess. A diosa is anyone who honors the primal feminine energy in the world and within themselves. According to Gutierrez, diosas face obstacles in their lives but are always ready and willing to go to their core to reclaim their inner worth and self-esteem. They are the ones that rise from the ashes and dare to piece themselves back together bone by bone and soul piece by soul piece. From stories of resilience from both Gutierrez and members of her Diosa Tribe, to mantras, meditations, and guided journaling prompts, this book gives women the tools they need to honor their sacred feminine and become who they were always meant to be.

I Am Diosa will inspire women to give themselves permission to feel, to be seen, to be heard, and to return to their truest selves.

YOUR DATING LIFE HAS BEEN TRAPPED IN THE PATRIARCHAL DARK AGES, AND NOW IT'S TIME TO GET UNSTUCK.

It's not your fault that dating sucks, that the patriarchy has screwed up how we find love. From addictive dating apps that were built like slot machines to advice like "Stop being so picky!" (aka "don't trust yourself"), to single women being treated as less than because of their relationship status, dating can be a hot soup of existential exhaustion.

In Thank You, More Please, dating coach and founder of Date Brazen, Lily Womble, flips patriarchal dating on its head and challenges you to ask for and get what you want. Lily, who has set up nearly 400 dates, was one of the top matchmakers in the U.S, but in her personal life she was constantly settling for toxic situationships.
After growing up in the deep south, a late bloomer who hadn't had a long-term relationship, she'd been labeled "too much," and her deepest fear was that she wasn't qualified for the love and partnership she craved. She needed to learn how not to settle and to attract love on her terms. The steps in this book are exactly the steps

Lily took to create a confident and joyful-as-fuck dating life that attracted the love of her life. Then, she broke up with matchmaking to become a feminist dating coach and help hundreds of women do the same.

​This proven feminist framework will help you create an epic love life, one that attracts more than you thought possible (more, please!). She includes tips on how to:

• ditch the self-blamey, rigid dating advice and start trusting your gut,
• embrace and celebrate your singleness,
• own all your relationship preferences and be powerfully picky,
• date like a feminist and attract the partnership you crave,
• And more!

A hilarious, feminist, no BS guide with a joyful, unconventional formula, Thank You, More Please will show you how to ask for exactly what you want and find love exactly as you are.

Prisoners and their families will appreciate these heartfelt and supportive stories and will feel part of a wider community of people striving to improve and reach their personal best. Hope, healing, forgiveness, and even a few laughs are delivered in the form of these personal and revealing stories.

The twentieth century bequeathed us a fabulous gift: thirty more years of life on average. Supersized life spans are going to radically alter society, and present an unprecedented opportunity to change our approach not only to old age but to all of life's stages. The ramifications are just beginning to dawn on us.... yet in the meantime, we keep thinking about, and planning for, life as it used to be lived.

In A Long Bright Future, longevity and aging expert Laura Carstensen guides us into the new possibilities offered by a longer life. She debunks the myths and misconceptions about aging that stop us from adequately preparing for the future both as individuals and as a society: that growing older is associated with loneliness and unhappiness, and that only the genetically blessed live well and long. She then focuses on other important components of a long life, including finances, health, social relationships, Medicare and Social Security, challenging our preconceived notions of "old age" every step of the way.
