I love this book! When I was in school, everybody (parents, teachers, counselors) promoted the professions as a way to the top of the economic ladder. Just a few years later it was the professions augmented by computer know-how that would vault you into the financial stratosphere. But now with professional information available online, and routine computer work outsourced to Asia, those careers we once thought the path to security are fast becoming the Western world's 21st Century dinosaurs. So how do we compete in the new global economy? Sensitivity! Compassion! Ingenuity! In short, melding our right-brain (emotional) propensities with our left-brain (analytical) capabilities. And how do we do that? What will we reap if we succeed? Read this inspiring work, and prepare to take a new enlightened path to success in business and in life. Recommended by Jan

Political analyst and author Cokie Roberts follows up her bestselling book, Founding Mothers, with a look into the lives and times of the incredible women who have helped shape America. Her new book, Ladies of Liberty, spans the times between the election of John Adams in 1796 and the election of Andrew Jackson in 1828, and features stories on such women as Rebecca Gratz, Sacajawea and Dolley Madison, a strong-willed woman whose bravery and insight shaped the new capital of Washington, DC.
