The frank and compelling story of an extraordinary woman and her adventures in fashion, business, and life. “Most fairy tales end with the girl marrying the prince. That's where mine began,” says Diane Von Furstenberg. Von Furstenberg lived the American Dream before she was thirty, building a multimillion-dollar fashion empire while raising two children and living life in the fast lane. Her wrap dress, a cultural phenomenon in the seventies, hangs in the Smithsonian Institution; her entry into the beauty business in 1979 was as serendipitous and as successful. Von Furstenberg learned her trade in the trenches, crisscrossing the country to make personal appearances at department stores, selling her dresses and cosmetics. That business had its ups and downs, as the fashionista entrepreneur’s unparalleled success became the source of its own undoing and she contended with bankruptcy, the loss of her business, and finally a complete self-reinvention that took her back to the top of the industry. This revealing and contemplative memoir works to make sense of the contradictions of the author’s life: glamour vs. hard work, European vs. American, daughter of a Holocaust survivor vs. wife of an Austro-Italian prince, mother vs. entrepreneur, lover vs. tycoon. She emerges wiser, stronger, and ever more determined never to sacrifice her passion for life.

What if we all lived our daily lives so that we could be proud to add our signature to it at the end of the day-just as an artist or novelist signs a finished piece of work? When a craftsman signs his work, he's making a statement: “I'm taking ownership. This is my personal best at this moment.” Your Signature Life encourages us to give God the very best of ourselves at work, at home, and in relationships, through the choices we make every day.

Expanding on the concept of doing one's personal best at work so that it reflects one's goals, values, beliefs, and faith, Booher advises readers that even if they feel trapped in a dissatisfying job or a seemingly insignificant career, their work matters to God, and their attitude will make all the difference in how they view their job.

This provacative book invites us to look at our lives as individual and unique paths we make in the world and leave behind after we are gone. It is written for people who want to live their lives "thoughtfully", who want to be proud of how they live their lives, and who want to grow in the process.

In Signature for Success, Imberman shares analysis techniques for readers to gain better insight into themselves, co-workers, and their family and thus create, improve, and understand their relationships. This useful volume even includes handwriting samples and analysis of the famous, infamous, and everyday people.

Are you bored in your job? Has the newness worn off so much so that you dread going to work every day? Have you ever felt as if your tasks––whether in a big organization or at home––just didn’t really contribute to anything significant? Do you often speculate about how much more influence you could have if you worked in a more visible or critical role––like may be a doctor, a pastor, a congressional representative? If so, then this book will inspire you to take a more reflective look at where you work, how you work, and who you influence. You’ll explore challenges such as these: · Finding the right job · Finding your calling in life · How to find purpose in life · Doing your best at work and what that looks like practically speaking As a companion to the earlier book Your Signature Life by the same author, Your Signature Work expands on the concept of doing your personal best at work so that it reflects your goals, values, beliefs, and faith. Using a sports analogy (basketball), this companion book will challenge you to see your tasks and job—whether parenting, building a forklift, stocking shelves, selling pharmaceuticals, or analyzing computer glitches––as an opportunity for leadership and service to others. As you strive for personal excellence, you'll identify ways to influence others in your workplace to “live” their values and faith. Even if you feel trapped in a dissatisfying job or a seemingly insignificant career, your work matters to God and to others in need. Your attitude can make all the difference in how you view your job, and the results you achieve! When you find your true calling, your work will be a source of satisfaction and fulfillment. And as an artist does, you will be proud to sign your name to work!
