In Capacity: Women Shattering The Limits – Now! Dr. Lisa Lindsay Wicker encourages women to take back their power, give themselves permission to win, develop their voice, be true to themselves, and get clear about their personal career vision. She provides a strategy for women to win by using their Capacity to break free and shatter any limits to design the career and life desired. Attend to the following thought, dear reader: Breaking through boundaries requires preparation. A recurring theme in the book is readiness. Dr. Wicker describes readiness as a choice. Are you ready to design a limitless future? If your answer is a resounding, “Yes!” you are prepared to deep dive into the chapters of Capacity: Women Shattering The Limits – Now! and definitively separate yourself from the rest. Dr. Lisa Lindsay Wicker has been carrying a weight since 2011. Seeing women race to the top of a career ladder, successfully doing more work with smaller teams, working long hours with no obvious comparator in view, and still not being handed the keys to the C-suite all wore heavy on Dr. Wicker for too many years as an executive in corporate America. Since then, she’s been collecting keys, preparing a suite of her own, and unselfishly designing a frame of reference for high-achieving women stretching into the uppermost heights of life and career. She shows off her handiwork in the pages of Capacity: Women Shattering The Limits – Now! Using seven (7) C’s, Dr. Wicker deconstructs the mindset rife with personal and professional inconsistencies and replaces it with a framework complete with skills to break into the realm of measuring up every day. Much like a master builder, she thoroughly inspects the current design for your life and, through her 7 C’s, helps women think and learn differently. The difference, at the completion of reconstruction, is a master plan designed and created to help break free and live a life without limits. At the foundation are guiding principles of how you do it! Readers open to exchanging the ant for the elephant approach to leadership, both in life and in the workplace, will benefit from reading this book. The code to a newly remodeled, custom life and access to the C-suite are all found here. Dr. Wicker encourages women to be concerned about “what your capacity is versus what your potential is.” These are words well-spoken from a brand authority and career strategy master who uses the chapters in this book as a depository for the reader to exchange lack of commitment for preparedness. Resolving to be “thoroughly used up,” and to empty herself of “impossible” thinking, Dr. Lisa Lindsay Wicker masterfully guides women out of the mold of limitation, self-imposed or otherwise.

One Breath is a gripping and powerful exploration of the strange and fascinating sport of freediving, and of the tragic, untimely death of America’s greatest freediver Competitive freediving—a sport built on diving as deep as possible on a single breath—tests the limits of human ability in the most hostile environment on earth. The unique and eclectic breed of individuals who freedive at the highest level regularly dive hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface, reaching such depths that their organs compress, light disappears, and one mistake could kill them. Even among freedivers, few have ever gone as deep as Nicholas Mevoli. A handsome young American with an unmatched talent for the sport, Nick was among freediving’s brightest stars. He was also an extraordinary individual, one who rebelled against the vapid and commoditized society around him by relentlessly questing for something more meaningful and authentic, whatever the risks. So when Nick Mevoli arrived at Vertical Blue in 2013, the world’s premier freediving competition, he was widely expected to challenge records and continue his meteoric rise to stardom. Instead, before the end of that fateful competition Nick Mevoli had died, a victim of the sport that had made him a star, and the very future of free diving was called into question. With unparalleled access and masterfully crafted prose, One Breath tells his unforgettable story, and of the sport which shaped and ultimately destroyed him.

The fulgurating power of creative imagination - Imaginatio Creatrix - setting in motion the Human Condition within the-unity-of-everything there-is-alive is the key to the rebirth of philosophy. From as early as 1971 (see the third volume of the Analecta Husserliana series, The Phenomenological Realism of the Possible Worlds, Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, ed.), Imaginatio Creatrix has been the leitmotif for the research work of the World Phenomenology Institute (now published in eighty-three Analecta Husserliana volumes), one that is eliciting echoes from all around. Husserl's diagnosis of a crisis in Western science and culture, the inspiration of much of postmodern phenomenology, has yielded place to a wave of scientific discovery, technological invention, and change in societal life, individual lifestyles, the arts, etc. These throw a glaring light on human creative genius and the crucial role of the imagination that gives it expression. This present collection is an instance of that expression and the response it evokes. It manifests the role of imagination in forming and interpreting our world -in-transformation in a new way and opens our eyes to marvel at the new world on the way.
