Five Minutes on Mondays
Imagine the leaders of one of New York City’s top real-estate firms coming together every Monday morning to hear…the moral and spiritual thoughts of a Rabbi. Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall? To hear the paths Alan Lurie traced for his listeners, how he helped them bring together their spiritual and business lives, the sacred and the profane? Five Minutes on Mondays compiles these talks for the first time, sharing Lurie’s deep and profound inspiration on the challenges we all face–at work, and in life. Lurie draws on millennia of philosophy, theology, and science to help us answer our deepest questions, comfort our deepest yearnings, and become better people–more connected to each other, and to the Greater Purpose. • Prosper while keeping your integrity • Balance faith, honor, and ambition • Use your workplace as your moral and spiritual "gymnasium" • Find deeper meaning and purpose in your work • Face your fears and failures, and keep going • Gain real respect–and give it • Live one authentic life–at work, and everywhere else

The Design of Science, Evolution, the Environment, and Redemption
Don’t send your kids off to college without this book, especially if they will be engaged in the sciences or philosophy. The Design of Science, Evolution, the Environment, and Redemption will clarify the differences, scientific basis, and logical foundation for the two most dominating and competing worldviews we have adopted in western society nowadays—namely science and religion. After reading this book, you will be able to better understand, articulate, and defend what you believe and why.

Just a few of the types of questions answered are: Is ther...

Values Don't Change, Even as You Chase Success
This Element is an excerpt from Winners Never Cheat: Even in Difficult Times (ISBN: 9780137009039) by Jon M. Huntsman. Available in print and digital formats. Play tough, play hard, play fair: returning to the simple values that made American business great. Growing up poor in rural Idaho, I was taught to play by the rules. Be tough, be competitive, give the game all you have--but do it fairly. These simple values formed a basis for how families, neighborhoods, and communities behaved. They did not lose their legitimacy when I became a player in business. Yet they are missing in segments of today’s marketplace....
Typically Jewish
Is laughter essential to Jewish identity? Do Jews possess special radar for recognizing members of the tribe? Since Jews live longer and make love more often, why don't more people join the tribe? "More deli than deity" writer Nancy Kalikow Maxwell poses many such questions in eight chapters--"Worrying," "Kvelling," "Dying," "Noshing," "Laughing," "Detecting," "Dwelling," and "Joining"--exploring what it means to be "typically Jewish." While unearthing answers from rabbis, researchers, and her assembled Jury on Jewishness (Jewish friends she roped into conversation), she--and we--make a variety of discoveries. For example: Jews worry about continuity, even though Rabbi Mordechai of Lechovitz...
