The newest problems of the world find solutions in the oldest and time-less practices such as mindfulness, authenticity, and perseverance--because Everything Connects. Everything Connects is a kaleidoscopic view of the way humans--by being able to think out of the box--have been able to achieve greatness for themselves, their organizations, and the world at large. It is your step-by-step guide for working with yourself and others--for meaningful success.
