“Dr. Cohen relinquished his role as president several years ago. Even in the final months of his life, he remained engaged and active, not ready to retire. His final book, ‘Be All You Can Be and Get Ready for the Future,’ is a testament to his enduring contribution.” Minglo Shao, Co-founder of CIAM“Bill’s monthly letter always contributed thoughts that were practical and served as reminders to management artisans.”Len Kwiatkowski, Chairman, Board of Trustees, CIAM“In addition to his record of service, Bill Cohen was a mentor, interpreting the teachings of Peter Drucker by sharing anecdotes that guided his subordinates and students while instilling the values of integrity, courage and resilience.”Ron Fogleman, General, USAF.

Drawing on his military background, professional experience, and education under Peter F. Drucker a

Wisdom That Transforms Lives Twenty-five centuries ago, a man who had once lived in royal luxury walked barefoot across the dusty plains of India, sharing insights that would forever change human history. The Buddha—“the Awakened One”—dedicated forty-nine years of his life to illuminating the path beyond suffering for all who would listen. This first volume presents 36 stories from the Buddha’s life and the lives of his disciples, each revealing the Buddha’s remarkable ability to meet people where they were and guide them toward realization. Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges. Throughout the collection, we see how the Buddha’s gentle yet powerful approach led others to profound insights, inspiring many to become his disciples and continue their sp

Not just management. This book reveals the philosophical soul of Peter Drucker’s thought. Through eight essential articles, it explores purpose, responsibility, and society, inviting leaders and thinkers to look beyond techniques and rediscover management as a deeply human endeavor.Unveiling the Soul of Management: A Deep Dive into Drucker’s PhilosophyStudy Notes on Drucker’s Eight Articles offers a profound and personal exploration of Peter Drucker’s most critical writings. Developed through a close collaboration with Shao Minglo’s compilation To Know the Real Drucker, this volume transcends traditional management commentary to reveal the philosophical bedrock of Drucker’s worldview.The author, originally a scholar of ancient Chinese literature, approaches Drucker not merely as a management guru, but as a great thinker in the lineage of Dostoevsky and Thomas Mann. Through a journey that traverses the diagnosis of totalitarianism and the search for societal salvation, these notes conne

隨想集續 一些踩踏在虛空中的足跡 願我們心無波瀾，澄澈如天空。願我們彼此護慰，以度過這暫時的黑暗。 在出版了《隨想集》（2013-2022 年）三年之後，現在又集結了別冊《隨想集續》（2023-2025 年），以與心靈相契的朋友在靈魂的暗夜中互通款曲。這三年中，時代丕變！我們被催逼著隨著時代的鼓聲急速前行！將去往何方？不可確知，無法掌控。回顧身後？我們所熟悉的世界已一去不返了。這不僅是當代、也是古今共通的情境。思及此，我又要吟誦英國詩人馬修‧阿諾德（Matthew Arnold, 1822-1888）的詩句了，當時他與新婚妻子漫步在英國多佛海邊，遙見對岸法國的熠熠燈火：（這是最後的一段）Ah, love, let us be trueTo one another! For the world, which seemsTo lie before us like a land of dreams,So various, so beautiful, so new,Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,Nor certitude, no peace, nor help for pain;And we are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,Where ignorant armies clash by night.馬修‧阿諾德所處的十九世紀，是一個變動劇烈的時代，工業革命的浪潮如海嘯般湧來，作為心靈與生活支柱的宗教信仰也受到人們的質疑，他身處其中，內心感到極度的惶惑不安 ―如此紛繁，如此美麗，如此新穎，其實沒有歡樂，沒有愛，沒有光，沒有明確，沒有和平，沒有對痛苦的救贖；詩人是先知吧？德國詩人海涅（Heinrich Heine, 1797-1856）早已警告世人：德意志的民族主義將為人類帶來大禍，果然。馬修‧阿諾德的惶惑不安也非無病呻吟，他謝世之後不到三十年，爆發了第一次世界大戰，他詩中描述的爭戰相殘不幸成真。現在，二十一世紀在驚濤駭浪中走過了四分之一，網路、人工智能、商業與消費主義……撒下漫天巨網，傳統價值與既有體制正在崩壞瓦解，我們心中的惶惑不安較諸十九世紀的先賢們更為猛烈。我的讀者朋友們―願我們心無波

【內容簡介】談判權威劉必榮教授，帶你洞悉談判的藝術與技術，讓談判成為你達成目的、獲取想要東西的工具！談判目的並不在於贏，而在於「利」。談判若「贏而無利」，是沒有意義的；反之，談判若「輸而有利」，則是可以接受的。重疊的利益才是彼此關係能否黏著、長久維持的關鍵。「我寫這本書的目的，是為讀者提供一個可以隨身攜帶的談判錦囊。看過《劉必榮談判精華課》的人可以用這本書複習，來不及看的人，可以馬上用這本書應急。」──劉必榮破解談判實戰盲點，把談判變成可學習的學問，是一本可以隨身攜帶、立即可用的談判錦囊！● 跳槽、辭職、求職的談判關鍵為何？● 沒籌碼怎麼辦？如何創造籌碼？● 為什麼說底線其實只是一個迷思？● 談判地點的選擇有什麼訣竅？● 就算要讓步，如何讓得漂亮，讓得有價值？每一次讓步都換東西回來？生活中談判無所不在，不是只有坐下來談簽約、講條件才叫談判，買賣雙方的心理攻防也是一種無形的談判。談判權威劉必榮教授，在這本書中以豐富的情境和Q&A，帶你釐清談判的目的，掌握雙方的心理攻防，制定戰略，見招拆招，帶你贏，更帶你得利。│關於雙贏│雙贏的真義是大家都感覺自己得到了一點東西，雙方都覺得自己是贏家，這才是最好的結果。若雙贏等於均分，那何必學談判呢？學數學就好了！│關於底線│底線是畫在沙灘上的，不是刻在石頭上的。與其拚命想探知對方的底線，想辦法砍到底線，倒不如用更多資訊說服對方，讓對方自己願意調整底線。│如何談薪資│不談「薪資」，談「待遇」。把跳槽（辭職）變成是勞資雙方要共同面對的問題。│如何選地點│人心是浮動的，因此要盡量在讓對方不容易落跑的地方進行談判。沒辦法轉身離開，心自然會定下來。│不得不讓步怎麼辦│為讓步貼標籤，讓給對的人，讓步也能累積籌碼。實用的Q&A集錦升級你的談判即戰力第1章　坐上談判桌之前要知道的事．談判到底可不可能雙贏？．談判有沒有底線？什麼是贏與利的標準？……第2章　生活中的談判，無所不在．跳槽、辭職、求職的談判關鍵為何？．非買到不可！避免落入弱勢的談判關鍵？……第3章　談判桌上的攻防技巧．談判出牌，用什麼句型最有效？．如何破解對方的期待？化解對方的攻擊？……第4章　如何讓談判優雅收場？．何時再見？可攻可守的「燜」字訣．如何優雅下桌，不至於撕破臉？……
