Folge 1 und 2 aus der Die drei Fragezeichen Hörspiel-Serie.

Let's face it, just because I stick out my tongue a lot and spit fire doesn't mean I have any qualifications to advise anyone on relationship, money or career issues. I don't. Yet I've lived with a beautiful woman for twenty years with never a cross word between us, in a relationship based on honesty and full disclosure. I've amassed a fortune–and "expert business people" work for me. And for three decades I've been in KISS–a band that has scaled the heights and broken every possible record, from album sales to touring to merchandising and licensing.

What draws us so strongly to some people and repels us from others? What makes some relationships work so smoothly and others burst into flames? Sternberg gives us new answers to these questions by showing that the kind of relationship we create depends on the kind of love stories we carry inside us. Drawing on extensive research and fascinating examples of real couples, Sternberg identifies 26 types of love story–including the fantasy story, the business story, the collector story, the horror story, and many others–each with its distinctive advantages and pitfalls, and many of which are clashingly incompatible. These are the largely unconscious preconceptions that guide our romantic choices, and it is only by becoming aware of the kind of story we have about love that we gain the freedom to create more fulfilling and lasting relationships. As long as we remain oblivious to the role our stories play, we are likely to repeat the same mistakes again and again. But the enlivening good news this book brings us is that though our stories drive us, we can revise them and learn to choose partners whose stories are more compatible with our own.

Tom L. Brown defines 21st Century leadership in this book. He talks about the importance of leaders embracing five key traits: discovery, enthusiasm, resourcefulness, resolve, and contributing to society. The leader's art, he asserts, is in the leader's heart.
As Jim Collins (of Built To Last and Good To Great fame) says in his Foreword to Tom's book: "Above all else, Tom pushes us to not be a mere placeholder in the world…. He challenges us to make our lives, our work, our influence, our impact on others a unique contribution that cannot be duplicated. And the most compelling argument he gives is his own personal example as exemplified by this work."
What is Fire about? What is progressive thinking? Who is a 21st Century Leader? There are hundreds of books on “leadership,” but the term is meaningless because “leaders” have become placeholders, people dedicated to preserving the status quo to maintain power and control, to extract personal wealth, or to promote self-aggrandizement. An historical view (going back to when our planet looked much like the raw wonder of Yellowstone National Park) reveals that leadership over time was first and foremost about the nurturing of powerful new ideas to make society better.
