Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are a culture of surfers; whether we're changing channels, browsing web sites, or skimming glossy pages, we are constantly sampling the dreams and experiences of others, to try to make sense of--or distract us from--our own. As the bestseller lists indicate, we are also engaged in a search for our souls, attempting to reclaim that mysterious, sacred uniqueness that entitles us to the joy and freedom that we sense are missing from our lives. Soul Surfing combines these two popular notions into a powerful prescription for spiritual development: a ten-step program that tells readers how to achieve real-world benefits by connecting with their soul work with the same intensity and intimacy that they bring to the movies, music and media that dominate our culture. An intuitive counselor with a thriving private practice, Dawnea Adams goes beyond tales of her psychic prowess to offer techniques that readers can perform independently: a series of ten visualization-based spiritual steps, called "phases," that help readers accomplish the precise spiritual healing and growth they need to move ahead. As soul surfers, we are taught to scan our memories and dreams and lock in to the sources of our pain. In terms that the media-distracted masses can understand, each phase then guides us through the creation of a movie of the mind in which we visualize the healing we need; ranging from scenes recalled from our past to those imagined in our future, these visualizations help us replace toxic mental reruns with empowering visions of liberation and possibility. Each phase is accompanied by inspiring case histories from Adams' years of private practice, recommended video viewing, and revealing personal stories that illustrate the powerful role that phasing work has played in Adams' own spiritual journey. A uniquely accessible and practical addition to the current literature of the soul, from a down-to-earth, charismatic psychic determined to use her gifts to help others, Soul Surfing is a self-help book for the media-saturated millennium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Presidency has always been an implausible—some might even say an impossible—job. Part of the problem is that the challenges of the presidency and the expectations Americans have for their presidents have skyrocketed, while the president's capacity and power to deliver on what ails the nations has diminished. Indeed, as citizens we continue to aspire and hope for greatness in our only nationally elected office. The problem of course is that the demand for great presidents has always exceeded the supply. As a result, Americans are adrift in a kind of Presidential Bermuda Triangle suspended between the great presidents we want and the ones we can no longer have. The End of Greatness explores the concept of greatness in the presidency and the ways in which it has become both essential and detrimental to America and the nation's politics. Miller argues that greatness in presidents is a much overrated virtue. Indeed, greatness is too rare to be relevant in our current politics, and driven as it is by nation-encumbering crisis, too dangerous to be desirable. Our preoccupation with greatness in the presidency consistently inflates our expectations, skews the debate over presidential performance, and drives presidents to misjudge their own times and capacity. And our focus on the individual misses the constraints of both the office and the times, distorting how Presidents actually lead. In wanting and expecting our leaders to be great, we have simply made it impossible for them to be good. The End of Greatness takes a journey through presidential history, helping us understand how greatness in the presidency was achieved, why it's gone, and how we can better come to appreciate the presidents we have, rather than being consumed with the ones we want.

Book excerpt: Throughout their time in office, American presidents are often forced to choose between leading the nation and leading their party. In an earlier time when the major parties were less polarized, this leadership dilemma, while challenging, was not nearly as vexing as it is today. American presidents now find themselves with little room to maneuver, compelled to serve the Constitution on the one hand and yet caught within bitter partisan disputes and large numbers of unaffiliated voters on the other. The contributors to this volume investigate how recent presidents have navigated these increasingly rocky political waters. Focusing on campaign strategy, presidential rhetoric, relations with Congress, domestic and foreign policy, The Presidential Leadership Dilemma presents a wide-ranging, detailed, and fascinating study of how contemporary presidents face the challenge at the heart of every presidency.

Book excerpt: A bold new history of the American presidency, arguing that the successful presidents of the past created unrealistic expectations for every president since JFK, with enormously problematic implications for American politics In The Impossible Presidency, celebrated historian Jeremi Suri charts the rise and fall of the American presidency, from the limited role envisaged by the Founding Fathers to its current status as the most powerful job in the world. He argues that the presidency is a victim of its own success-the vastness of the job makes it almost impossible to fulfill the expectations placed upon it. As managers of the world's largest economy and military, contemporary presidents must react to a truly globalized world in a twenty-four-hour news cycle. There is little room left for bold vision. Suri traces America's disenchantment with our recent presidents to the inevitable mismatch between presidential promises and the structural limitations of the office. A masterful reassessment of presidential history, this book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand America's fraught political climate.

Book excerpt: "What is most striking about Mr. Nixon's charge to seize the moment, nearly all of which is sensible and sound, is the continuity of his counsel." —The New York Times “In Moscow, Khrushchev arrogantly predicted to me, 'Your grandchildren will live under communism.' I responded, 'Your grandchildren will live in freedom.' At the time, I was sure he was wrong, but I was not sure I was right. As a result of the new Soviet revolution, I proved to be right. Khrushchev's grandchildren now live in freedom." In this brilliantly timed book, Richard Nixon defines the challenges and opportunities facing America as the world's sole superpower. Only American leadership, he contends, can guide the turbulent post-Soviet Union world toward freedom and prosperity and make the 21st century an American century. Forcefully dismissing the three prevailing post-Cold War myths about America—that "history has ended" with the defeat of communism, that military power had become irrelevant, and that America is a declining power—Nixon charts the course America must take in the future to seize this moment in history.

Book excerpt: The "public presidency"—how presidents rely on the mass media, public opinion, and various communication strategies—has become an increasingly important aspect of presidential governance and leadership during the past two decades. In the Public Domain gathers together noted presidency and communication scholars to explore the relationship between the president and the American public, the current state of the "public presidency," and the challenges that recent presidents have faced in developing an effective means of communicating and maintaining a strong presidential image. Specific topics include: how presidents use public leadership to pursue their policy goals and objectives; the importance of public opinion, rhetorical strategies, and public activities; external factors such as party politics and news media coverage; the cultivation of presidential legacy; and access to documents in presidential libraries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The signs and instruments of power are no longer armed legions or raw materials or capital... The wealth we seek does not lie in the earth or in numbers of men or in machines, but in the human spirit. And particularly in the ability of men to think and to create.' -- Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber in his international bestseller, The American Challenge. The American Challenge was 50 years ahead of its time in its appraisal of Europe, industrialization, the global economy and digital future, and the sclerosis of French politics. A new generation of French and Europeans can now rediscover it and take measure of all that still remains to be accomplished to bring to fruition the post-war European dream. "The world we live in is very much the world Servan-Schreiber imagined,' Professor Paul Krugman writes in his preface to this ebook edition, further adding that "JJSS was an incredibly insightful prophet.' With its radically new economic and political vision, The American Challenge was a bestseller when first published in 1967. Selling over 2 million copies in France and more than 10 million throughout the world, the book was translated and published in 16 languages and 26 countries. This first ebook edition provides the original edition's text in its entirety. Available from all major online retailers, it includes a new preface by New York Times op-ed contributor and Nobel Prize winner in Economics, Paul Krugman, acclaiming a book that "marked a whole generation.' Praise for "The American Challenge": "The American Challenge, was not only a game changer for European–American relations, it also provided a new and innovative conception of national competitiveness. The book was a true catalyst in the creation of the World Economic Forum.'- Klaus Schwab, Founder and Chairman, The World Economic Forum "Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber first put forth his bold vision of accelerating American prosperity back in 1967. While this outcome seemed inevitable at the time, half a century later we have fallen far short of that future. The reissue of his landmark book serves as a clarion call for our stagnant civilization to find a way back to the optimistic future of the 1960s.' - Peter Thiel, Co-Founder of Paypal, Managing Partner of the Founders' Fund "Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber was a true humanist. He understood the importance of the sovereignty for the people in the wake of European colonialism, as well as the potential in federating resources in an increasingly multipolar world, exemplified by his support of the European integration. He also foresaw the possibilities and challenges of modern technology.' - Nicolas Berggruen, President, Berggruen Institute on Governance "The American Challenge is an excellent, vigorous and modern book – that is to say, one free of many of the usual shortcomings and repetitiveness of commonplace thinking.' - Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, President of France, 1974-1981 "The American Challenge is at the top of the best seller lists. For a tome rich in statistics and dealing with the world of economic and corporate development, computers, satellites and the rivalries of industrial power blocs, this is an astonishing success. If Marx had done as well with "Das Kapital', we might all be waving red flags and eating caviar.' - New York Times, May 19, 1968

Book excerpt: Preface The office of the President of the United States is a role steeped in history, power, and responsibility, a position that has shaped not only the course of a nation but also the trajectory of world events. The story of the American presidency is one of evolution, reflecting the changing values, challenges, and aspirations of the country. From the fledgling days of the republic, where George Washington set the precedents for all who would follow, to the complex and often tumultuous modern era, each president has left an indelible mark on the fabric of the nation. This book is not just a recounting of the lives and policies of the men who have held the highest office in the land; it is a journey through the history of the United States, seen through the lens of its leadership. The presidency, as an institution, is both a mirror and a shaper of the times. It reflects the hopes and fears of the American people, the political battles of the day, and the ever-shifting landscape of global affairs. Yet, it also has the power to direct and influence those very elements, making the study of presidents a study of both the past and the future. In examining the lives and legacies of these leaders, this book aims to provide a nuanced understanding of what it means to be president. Each chapter delves into the unique challenges faced by these individuals, the decisions that defined their administrations, and the personal qualities that either buoyed or undermined their leadership. Some presidents are remembered for their triumphs, others for their failures, but all have played a role in the ongoing experiment that is American democracy. This book also seeks to explore the complexities and contradictions of the presidency. The office has been a source of immense power, yet it is also bound by the constraints of the Constitution, the checks and balances of the government, and the will of the people. Presidents have wielded this power in different ways, some expanding the reach of the office, others adhering strictly to its limits. The tension between these approaches has shaped the evolution of the presidency and, by extension, the nation itself. Moreover, this book highlights the human side of the presidency. Behind the public persona, each president was an individual with strengths and weaknesses, hopes and fears, ambitions and insecurities. Their personal lives, relationships, and backgrounds played a significant role in shaping their presidencies. By examining these factors, we gain a deeper understanding of the men who have led the country and the ways in which their humanity influenced their leadership. As you embark on this exploration of the American presidency, you will encounter stories of courage and conviction, of controversy and conflict, of triumph and tragedy. You will see how the office has evolved over time, how it has been shaped by the men who held it, and how it, in turn, has shaped the nation and the world. This book is a tribute to the complexities of leadership, the challenges of governance, and the enduring spirit of the United States. In a time when the role of the president is as critical as ever, understanding the history of the office is essential. This book offers not only a detailed account of the lives of the presidents but also a reflection on the broader implications of their actions. It invites readers to consider what it means to lead, to govern, and to carry the weight of a nation's hopes and dreams. Whether you are a student of history, a lover of politics, or simply curious about the men who have shaped the United States, this book provides a comprehensive and engaging portrait of the American presidency, a role that continues to define and challenge the fabric of the nation.
