      Good news! Building a sustainable, engaging organisation is actually incredibly simple. However, it requires leaders to take a couple of steps back: Step 1: Understand your Why You as a leader need to bring sustainable, consistent levels of energy over a number of years. So, you first need to deeply connect with what you are all about. Step 2: Connect everyone with the team's Why Then, you need to help your organisation and your people do the same. Jerry Hopkins is passionate about helping leaders create engaging, sustainable jobs. He has helped hundreds of mid-sized organisations achieve this. The Why Force lays out how any leader can take these two key steps in 16 chapters, each designed to take just 30 minutes to read and apply.

      Profiling individual, legendary authors, best-selling author Jerry Hopkins combines his research and his own experiences as a longtime expatriate with an intimate knowledge of Asia and offers us a unique perspective on the impact of Eastern culture in Western literature. From the time of Marco Polo's trek across the Central Asian desert to the empire of the mighty Mongol Khan, no other place on earth, not the languid South Pacific or even deepest, darkest Africa has so challenged and enchanted the Western imagination as have the fabled lands of the East! However soaked in blood its history and no matter how unsettling its social conditions and poverty, Asia has never lost its irresistible attraction or mysticism. It has long been an inspiration for Western novelists, so much so that more than 5000 novels have been set in Asia in the English language alone. Storied names like Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, Pearl S. Buck, George Orwell, Graham Greene, E.M. Forster and many more have used their experiences in Asia as a vibrant backdrop for some of the world's most famous works of literature.

      Nowe wydanie. W rokowym panteonie The Doors pełnili rolę swoistej anomalii. W latach swej świetności nie byli ani grupą folkową, ani jazzową, a chociaż niektórzy krytycy przypinali im łatkę grupy acid-rockowej, to jednak The Doors niewiele mieli wspólnego z acid-rockowym brzmieniem San Francisco, reprezentowanym przez hippisowskie zespoły Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver czy Grateful Dead. Nic ich także nie łączyło z inwazją angieleskiego rocka, czy w ogóle z muzyką pop, choć udało się im wywindować na pierwsze miejsce aż trzy single...
