  I was pleased to see that Time did a cover story on the overprotected child. Odd, however, that this idea is only now becoming such big news. In 2007 I published a book called "Too Safe for Their Own Good: How Risk and Responsibility Help Teens Thrive". It was difficult to get published in the US (it was a bestseller ...

  Crossderry Blog — Authority: 110
  Josh Liebner, Gershon Mader, and I ended up on an interesting tangent about the role of human resources in driving strategic commitment (previous posts here and here ).  Both authors shared my frustration about HR’s inertia when it comes to transformation efforts.  In no small measure, this frustration comes ...

• Thoughts from Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol”

  
  Midlife Crisis Queen: The Weblog — Authority: 469
  Just finished Dan Brown’s new book and I cannot say that I loved it.  Of course I wasn’t crazy about the Da Vinci Code either.  His writing is mediocre at best, but I do enjoy learning some philosophy, science and history along the way. There are a number of interesting ideas discussed in “The Lost ...

  Stupidica — Authority: 174
  Birds are singing, the sun is shining and life is beautiful again. On the surface, the vital signs of our economy are improving with every economic report.

• Michael Jackson’s “This is it”

  
  Midlife Crisis Queen: The Weblog — Authority: 469
  I went back and forth about seeing this movie.  As it turns out, I’m very glad I did!  I didn’t realize until halfway through it, why it was an important film for me to see right now. I knew I would love hearing Michael’s music again.  He really was an amazing song writer and performer.  A Baby Boomer with ...

  Ed Gerety's Dream Big Blog — Authority: 104
  I am at Niagara Falls on the Canadian border side. These waterfalls are the most powerful waterfalls in North America. As I stood and watched the power and beauty of the falls I noticed how they always seemed to be changing. Each wave of water that came crashing down was different and took their own path to the ...

  I would personally like to thank Congress and, most especially, President Obama, for finally passing a national health care package, as imperfect as it may be.  National Health is not merely a social issue but a Constitutional one, to my mind, in that it begins to " promote the general Welfare , and secure the ...

  Sense on Cents — Authority: 480
  Those who take risk do not always win. A variety of mathematical models dealing with risk address and negate the chance of almost uniform success by one party. While those on Wall Street would promote the overwhelming risks in the industry, I would maintain that Wall Street circa 2009 is not in the risk business. How ...
