50 Touchstones That Guided David Schulman's Life Can Guide Yours, Too This black and white version book contains 50 touchstones, or philosophies, that provided award-winning General Agent David Schulman with direction and comfort during those times when he needed a moment of inspiration. His hope is that even one of them will help you see your situation in a new way; save you time, effort, or money; or keep you from making a costly mistake. The touchstones in Shared Wisdom provide practical guidance with a philosophical twist, as well as personal anecdotes, on many subjects. Here are just a few examples: * Closing the gap between reality and expectations* Letting team members fire themselves* Sharing your good fortune with others* Savoring the great moments in life* Preparing for and getting through the difficult times* Keeping perspective in any situation David is the longest-serving General Agent in MassMutual's history and was the youngest person, at age 26, to be named a General Agent for the company. He retired in 2016. David took the agency from dead last of 103 agencies in 1980 to finish second in the company, with more than $25 million of base life insurance premiums. For those in the insurance and financial services industry, the book's appendix contains a list of 10 common traits of highly successful leaders revealed in a paper David wrote as a member of the RAGS Study Group, the summary and conclusion of that paper, and an article on the same topic that he cowrote with Patrick Leary of LIMRA for an issue of LIMRA's MarketFacts Quarterly.

Episodes from the life of Joel D Bergman

His historic career as an aviator made Charles Lindbergh one of the most famous men of the twentieth century, the subject of best-selling biographies and a hit movie, as well as the inspiration for a dance step—the Lindy Hop—that he himself was too shy to try. But for all the attention lavished on Lindbergh, one story has remained untold until now: his macabre scientific collaboration with Dr. Alexis Carrel. This oddest of couples—one a brilliant Nobel Prize-winning surgeon turned social engineer, the other a failed dirt farmer turned hero of the skies—joined forces in 1930 driven by a shared and secret dream: to conquer death and attain immortality. Part Frankenstein, part The Professor and the Madman, and all true, The Immortalists is the remarkable story of how two men of prodigious achievement and equally large character flaws challenged nature's oldest rule, with consequences—personal, professional, and political—that neither man anticipated.
