"The portrait that emerges is one in which people are much more sensually, intimately, and aesthetically bound up in the landscapes of their lives than previous scientific studies would suggest. In fact, Katz argues that emotions are most directly understood as transformations of the ongoing aesthetic foundations of the self."--BOOK JACKET.

Meet the JacMar family: successful, committed, and--like every other business family--trying to strike a balance between their professional and personal lives. The JacMars are a composite of actual business families. As Gerald Le Van follows them from the bedroom to the board room, he identifies the key issues and problems faced by every business family today. Le Van, a highly sought-after speaker and consultant, has helped many business families successfully navigate through times of turbulence and transition. In The Survival Guide for Business Families, he makes his secrets available to the public for the first time. He leads the reader step-by-step through thirty-nine questions that everyone involved with a family operated business must address in order to plan for the future. Designed as a self-help book, The Survival Guide for Business Families teaches families to recognize the emotional and organizational work that only they--and not their lawyers, accountants or financial advisors--can do to secure their future. It gives them the communication and coping skills to get through crises, such as a leadership transition. Le Van shows that business families are not alone in their struggle, and that they can not only survive, but prosper.

Some unique contributions of Family By the Bible are: 1. Instead of the traditional, hit-and-miss success of self-help Christian and secular books on managing families, this book offers a more-sure, proven approaches to creating and sustaining successful and strong families, because it draws on the infinite wisdom of God through His Scripture –the Bible. 2. Practical and proven tools and methods of the Bible are presented here to help make American families grow strong again. This is true for families all around the world as well. Strong families create strong communities, and strong communities create strong countries. And strong countries make happy and joyful societies in the world. 3. Joyful societies (as those pre-1950s) create more wholesome families, with better civility, and decency among the citizens, more peaceful pursuits for the common good, more harmony, less social costs, better emotional and relational health, and ultimately, to lesser existential threats to the 8 billion of us and our wonderful earth. 4. Elon Musk, the genius founder of Tesla Electric Car Company, and Space X company, is hoping that by relocating us to other planets like Mars, we will create more ideal societies. I humbly disagree with his notion. If anything, we, the corrupt humans, will carry forth our self-destructive thinking from the earth to the other planets, and replicate our same bad behaviors there as well! A more practical solution is to teach and train our families to learn the pre-1950s values and enjoy our lives here first! This book presents such tools. 5. If every family practices at least some of this book’s principles, we’ll have regained more pre-1950s values, and we can slash budgets for welfare, social costs, disease control, mental health, and illogical thinking which have been destroying all our fundamental institutions: religious, educational, legal, economical, and humanitarian.

Previous biographies of John F. Kennedy have been based almost entirely on newspaper files and personal recollections. Geoffrey Perret's Jack is both the first comprehensive one-volume biography of JFK and the first account of his life based on the extensive and important documentary record that has finally become available, including Kennedy's personal diaries, hundreds of hours of taped conversations from the White House, recently declassified government documents, extensive family correspondence, and crucial interviews sealed for nearly forty years. The result is a gripping, accurate, and ultimately moving portrait of America's most charismatic president. Jack provides much-needed context and perspective on Kennedy's bewilderingly complex personality. It offers an even-handed account of the seamy side of his life - orgies and abortions, health and drug problems - along with valuable insights into JFK's truly idealistic and visionary character. Jack presents a compelling account of the volatile relationship between Kennedy and his wife, including Jackie's attempt to divorce him, move to Hollywood, and become a film star. At the same time Perret explains how, together, they created the Kennedy style. Jack reveals how the restless, innovative Kennedy was able to overturn more than a hundred years of political tradition, forge the modern political campaign, and, once in the White House, modernize the presidency. His success was so complete that all serious presidential candidates since 1960 have sought to compare themselves to JFK, not challenging his legacy but embracing it. Jack is filled, too, with numerous revelations, such as the true story behind the lobotomy of JFK's sister Rosemary. And here, for the first time, is a comprehensive account of Kennedy's numerous and varied ailments from childhood on, including his back problems. Perret describes how JFK got the two most important decisions of his administration right: his handling of the Cuban missile crisis and his stance on civil rights. As to Vietnam, Kennedy did not believe it was worth fighting for, and in the last months of his presidency he began formulating a secret plan for neutralization and withdrawal - if he won the 1964 election. But that, of course, was not to be: Convinced he would die young, Kennedy foresaw that a violent death would claim him. Throughout his brief time in the White House he was haunted by a vision of a man standing at a window, looking down at him, holding a rifle. Jack: A Life Like No Other is a book like no other. Here, at last, John F. Kennedy seems to step off the page in all his vitality, charm, and originality.
