A revealing exploration of people whose wealth, fame, beauty, and social status grant them immense power. Celebrity culture drives us to aspire to be like the few who seem to have figured out how to have it all. But is it possible that they simultaneously have everything and nothing at all? Having treated some of the world’s most successful people, psychotherapist “Dr. Paul” sets out to answer why so many people who have everything end up feeling like their achievements are never enough—as well as what that pattern can reveal about ourselves and the society in which we live. The exclusivity of living behind the velvet rope or the gilded gate doesn’t guarantee happiness for the rich, famous, and powerful; there are downsides to attainment as well. We all—including people who seem protected by their privileged lives—can experience the self-destructive behaviors common to modern life, including chronic stress, addiction, anxiety, imposter syndrome, infidelity, negative body image, and narcissism. Division marks our era. There’s a growing separation between the haves and have nots, men and women, as well as the empowered and the disenfranchised. At the same time, our culture is defined by celebrities, and the powerful, affluent people we put on a pedestal to idolize and emulate. Too often, we think our lives would be better if we could have what they have or be more like them. It’s time to realize that even the most admired people can go through life feeling unloved and unable to escape their problems. From the therapist’s chair, we learn how feelings of shame, insecurity, abandonment, and emotional pain are all part of the human condition. With empathy, we can overcome our sense of isolation by realizing that we all crave—and deserve—understanding, intimacy, and real connection.

Fragile Power provides you with the knowledge, confidence, and power to improve your leadership performance and achieve your goals in life, business, and sport. However, 'power is fragile' and should be used sensitively, tactfully, cleverly, empathetically, and wisely to succeed. This book, the author's fifth, is a business autobiography covering his 60-year career and delivers 40 Case Histories and Leadership Lessons learnt from his experiences with Caltex Oil, Collingwood Football Club, L'Oreal, Wurlitzer, Ford, The America's Cup, Toyota, BMW, Jetset Travel, HLB Mann Judd, Mercedes-Benz, First National Real Estate, the AFL, and many more. Each Case History delivers five significant Leadership Lessons for your healthier, happier, wealthier, and more rewarding journey in life, business, and sport. George D. Norris is regarded as Australia's first and most experienced Corporate Coach. He commenced his business career at Caltex Oil Australia in 1958 as a Management Cadet and 16 years later departed as Training Manager. He then started his own business in 1974 as a Performance Management and Communication Consultant and in 1995 made the magic move into Management Mentoring and Corporate Coaching. George is well known for his many years on Melbourne Radio 1377 3MP with his daily segment 'Shots of Inspiration' and later Magic 1278, where he presented his daily segments as 'The Life Coach'. His four other books are titled 'Winning with Wisdom', 'Strategies for Success', 'Quotes and Words of Inspiration' and 'Moments on Management'. George has studied in Germany, America, and Australia. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, the Australian Institute of Management, and the Australian Marketing Institute where he was awarded a CPM as Certified Practising Marketer. He has experienced the ups and downs of life, business and sport which have provided remarkable and extensive experience. As a visionary, George uses Nike's positioning statement, and Frank Sinatra's song to say, "I just did it - my way!"

When the National Science Foundation funds research about the earth's crust and the Department of Energy supports studies on the disposal of nuclear wastes, what do they expect for their money? Most scientists believe that in such cases the government wants information for immediate use or directions for seeking future benefits from nature. Challenging this oversimplified view, Chandra Mukerji depicts a more complex interdependence between science and the state. She uses vivid examples from the heavily funded field of oceanography, particularly from recent work on seafloor hot springs and on ocean disposal of nuclear wastes, to raise questions about science as it is practiced and financed today. She finds that scientists act less as purveyors of knowledge to the government than as an elite and highly skilled talent pool retained to give legitimacy to U.S. policies and programs: scientists allow their authority to be projected onto government officials who use scientific ideas for political purposes. Writing in a crisp and jargon-free style, Mukerji reveals the peculiar mix of autonomy and dependency defined for researchers after World War II--a mix that has changed since then but that continues to shape the practical conduct of science. Scientists use their control over the scientific content of research to convince themselves of their autonomy and to achieve some power in their dealings with funding agencies, but they remain fundamentally dependent on the state. Mukerji argues that they constitute a kind of reserve force, like the Army or Navy reserves, paid by the government to do research only because science is politically essential to the workings of the modern state. This book is essential reading not only for sociologists and students of science and society, and for oceanographers, but also for every scientist whose work depends directly or indirectly on government support.

Focusing on authoritarian rule, unresolved economic challenges, and external dependency, the volume explains the salient political and economic features of contemporary Egypt against the backdrop of its history since the beginning of the 19th century. Presenting a comprehensive account of developments, it challenges common assumptions about secularists, Islamists, and revolutionaries, as well as 'modernization', 'economic reform', and political stability. Discussing domestic politics, economic change, and external relations since 1945, the author argues that Egypt continued to draw a degree of strength from sustained state-building activities, which its pre-colonial rulers could pursue in a favourable international environment and the partly related emergence of the country as a focal point of collective identity. More consolidated than many other states in the global south, Arab and non-Arab alike, independent Egypt, despite changing economic strategies, remained a (lower) middle-income country and despite repeated political contestation, most recently in the Arab Spring, continued to suffer from autocratic rule. Such continuity reflects not only the interplay between political forces at home, dominated by the military, and inconclusive economic policies but also the external constraints under which governments and other actors in the global south have to act. Based on numerous primary and secondary sources in various languages, including Arabic, and years of fieldwork, the book is a key resource for scholars of all levels, journalists, policymakers, and diplomats interested in comparative politics and the political economy of the Middle East and Egypt.
