  Janet, Bray Attwood, Chris Attwood “The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Destiny"
1stWorld Publishing | 2006-05-01 | ISBN: 1595408355 | 258 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB
"The Passion TestTM provides the simplest, clearest way to get started on knowing what you want-by getting clear on who you are." -from the Foreword by T. Harv Eker, #1 NY Times best-selling author, Secrets of The Millionaire Mind ~~~~ "The Passion TestTM has given me incredible insight into what was missing in my life, where I was not 100% spot on in pursuing my passions. It's simple, it's easy, and it's profound. Out of it came the creation of an organization I'd been putting off for six years and a fuller expression of my love and my commitment to my family. I think there's nothing more important than that." -Jack Canfield, co-creator of the #1 NY Times best-selling series, Chicken Soup for the Soul® ~~~~ "Chris and Janet Attwood have provided a clear, simple, and effective method to help you identify your core passions so you can create the fulfilling life you deserve." -John Gray, PhD, #1 NY Times best-selling author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus ~~~~ "Quite frankly I was blown away. The Passion TestTM is a very direct, practical roadmap on how to become prosperous, how to take what it is you love, and make it into a very, very substantial, and very fulfilling income." -Bill Harris, Director Centerpointe Research Institute ~~~~ "Passion is the key to your destiny. Discover your Passion by taking the best of all tests- Janet and Chris Attwood's 'Passion Test'" -Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the #1 NY Times best-selling series, Chicken Soup for the Soul® ~~~~ "The PassionTestTM is very provocative and very revealing, and it's unlike anything anyone has ever exposed me to. It challenged me in a very revealing way." -Jay Abraham, Marketing genius, author, Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got ~~~~ "I couldn't put it down. The story is so engaging, I almost forgot how much I wanted to take the test. Then, taking the test, I realized how valuable it was to hear Janet's story and what she went through to get to the point she could live her passion." -Yehuda Berg, The Kabbalah Center, author, The 72 Names of God, Power of Kabbalah, The Red String ~~~~ "The PassionTestTM has you focus on those things that are most important in your life, and passion is one of the keys to success for anyone, anywhere in the world. The PassionTestTM will be valuable for me, as the founder of BNI, in understanding what my franchisees are passionate about, because if they're not passionate about the things they're doing, they can have all the ability in the world, but they're not going to be as successful at running the programs we want them to run as they can be." -Ivan Misner, Chairman and Founder BNI (Business Networks International) ~~~~ "Simple, clear, powerful. The Passion TestTM is a remarkable tool for getting the clarity you need to begin living your dreams." -Marci Shimoff, co-author of the #1 NY Times best sellers Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul and Mother's Soul ~~~~ "Whether your life purpose is clear or you want to be clearer, The Passion TestTM provides a powerful tool for putting you on track to a more fulfilled, more complete life. The clearer your passions-the surer are your chances of realizing them." -Dr. Pankaj Naram, world-renowned Ayurvedic physician, personal pulse reader to the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa, co-author, Secrets of Natural Health ~~~~ "The Test itself is an incredibly valuable tool for clarifying what's really important to you in your life. Equally valuable were the lessons Chris and Janet Attwood share for actually living your mission." -Catherine Lanigan, author, Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile

  Gordon Patzer “Looks: Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined"
AMACOM | 2008-01-30 | ISBN: 0814480543 | 288 pages | PDF | 2,5 MB
We all know one hard and undeniable truth: Physical beauty comes with tremendous power, and tremendous benefits. Those who possess it are generally luckier in love, more likely to be popular, and more apt to get better grades in school. But very few of us realize just how much looks affect every aspect of our lives. Recent studies document that people blessed with good looks earn about 10% more than their average-looking colleagues. They are also more likely to get hired and promoted at work. What exactly is this "physical attractiveness" phenomenon and how does it affect each and every one of us?
Dr. Gordon L. Patzer has devoted the last 30 years to investigating this unsettling phenomenon for both women and men, and how it touches every part of our lives. In Looks, he reveals not only its impact on romance, but also on family dynamics, performance in school, career, courtroom proceedings, politics and government. Looks is the first book to explore how the power of beauty affects both sexes and how the rise of reality TV shows, cosmetic surgery, and celebrity culture have contributed to our culture’s overall obsession with being beautiful.

Unflinching and topical, Looks uncovers the sometimes ugly truth about beauty and its profound effects on all our lives.

It encompasses both technological tools and organizational routines of which there are a number of components. These include generating new knowledge; acquiring valuable knowledge from outside sources; using this knowledge in decision making; embedding knowledge in processes, products, and/or services; coding information into documents, databases, and software; facilitating knowledge growth; transferring knowledge to other parts of the organization; and measuring the value of knowledge assets and/or the impact of knowledge management.
Knowledge Management: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is the defining reference source for all theories, concepts, and methodologies within the KM discipline. This comprehensive, six-volume collection of research from an international body of KM experts includes chapters on Implementing Knowledge Management (KM) in Organizations; KM Systems Acceptance; KM Communication; Knowledge Representation; Knowledge Sharing; KM Success Models; Knowledge Ontology; and Operational KM. Encompassing over 300 chapters from more than 500 contributors drawn from the world s leading KM experts, this collection will provide libraries with the defining reference to the field and set the standard for all fundamental and emerging models within the discipline.
