Four million adults in the United States say that becoming famous is the most important goal in their lives. In any random sampling of one hundred American adults, two will have fame as their consuming desire. What motivates those who set fame as their priority, where did the desire come from, how does the pursuit of fame influence their lives, and how is it expressed? Based on the research of Orville Gilbert Brim, award-winning scholar in the field of child and human development, Look at Me! answers those questions. Look at Me! examines the desire to be famous in people of all ages, backgrounds, and social status and how succeeding or failing affects their lives and their personalities. It explores the implications of the pursuit of fame throughout a person's lifetime, covering the nature of the desire; fame, money, and power; the sources of fame; how people find a path to fame; the kinds of recognition sought; creating an audience; making fame last; and the resulting, often damaged, life of the fame-seeker. In our current age of celebrity fixation and reality television, Brim gives us a social-psychological perspective on the origins of this pervasive desire for fame and its effects on our lives. "Look at Me! is a fascinating in-depth study of society's obsession with fame. If you ever wondered what it's like to be famous, why fame comes to some and is sought by others, it's all here . . ." ---Jeffrey L. Bewkes, Chairman and CEO, Time Warner "In a voice filled with wisdom and insight, daring and self-reflection, Orville Brim masterfully traces the developmental origins and trajectory of fame. Look at Me! lets us see---with new eyes---the cultural priorities and obsessions that feed our individual hunger and appetites. A rare and rewarding book." ---Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Emily Hargroves Fisher Professor of Education at Harvard University and author of Respect and The Third Chapter Orville Gilbert Brim has had a long and distinguished career. He is the former director of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Successful Midlife Development, former president of the Foundation for Child Development, former president of the Russell Sage Foundation, and author and coauthor of more than a dozen books about human development, intelligence, ambition, and personality.

A provocative look at the pursuit of material success and influential power from one of the twentieth century’s greatest spiritual teachers. “I want you to be rich in every possible way—material, psychological, spiritual. I want you to live the richest life that has ever been lived on the earth.”—Osho Fame, Fortune, and Ambition: What is the Real Meaning of Success? examines the symptoms and psychology of preoccupations with money and celebrity. Where does greed come from? Do values like competitiveness and ambition have a place in bringing innovation and positive change? Why do celebrities and the wealthy seem to have so much influence in the world? Is it true that money can’t buy happiness? These questions are tackled with a perspective that is thought-provoking, surprising—and particularly relevant to our troubled economic times. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

In ancient China, the Origin of the universe was called Dao. Dao theory is the ultimate theory established by ancient Chinese thinkers based on the Origin of the universe. It is used to explain all basic phenomena in the universe, to guide people's thoughts and behaviors, and to establish a just and perfect society. Consciousness, soul and life are the most important phenomena in the universe and also the most difficult to explain. Using Dao theory, we can explain and study human soul, consciousness, emotions, feelings and life. Although consciousness, soul and life have complex and difficult sides, they also have simple and easy-to-understand sides. The basic principles that form consciousness, soul, and life are simple; Even if you only have a middle school or even elementary school education, you can understand it as long as you put in the effort. Dao theory is composed of Yin-yang theory and Dao Morality Scripture (Tao Te Ching). This book is divided into three parts: the first part briefly introduces the Dao theory founded by ancient Chinese thinkers; introduces the yin-yang theory, using the Yin-yang theory to explain consciousness, emotions and feelings; introduces the three major worlds that make up the universe: the Dao world, the Soul world and Human world. The second part translates and interprets the Dao Morality Scripture. The third part introduces the application of Dao theory in contemporary human society. In Dao Morality Scripture, Lao Zi advocates "zero-action", "keeping the middle", "pure-quiet", "fraternity" and "contentment". When you understand consciousness, you will know that what Lao Zi said is correct. To correctly understand the Dao Morality Scripture (Tao Te Ching), it is recommended that you first understand the basic principles of consciousness. The universe was created by Dao, and the theories established based on Dao must be able to explain all basic phenomena of the universe. This book proves that Dao is the most perfect spiritual body in the universe; therefore, the theory established based on Dao will definitely be able to guide mankind to establish a perfect world. At present, problems faced in the fields of consciousness, life science, physics and other fields need to be solved by Dao theory; various problems faced by human society also need to be solved by Dao theory. Dao theory is the most basic theory that everyone should understand: If you want to understand the Origin of universe and understand why the universe is produced from emptiness, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you want to understand consciousness, soul and life, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you want to know what the correct beliefs and codes of conduct are, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you are a politician or public official and want to find the correct theory of establishing a country, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you are a student or researcher of philosophy, social science, natural science or religion, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. …… This book is available in two editions: the popular edition and the physical edition. The popular edition contains spiritual physics, omits general physics, and reduces 178 pages.

About the Book Food For Thought is a “recipe” book for inspiring and promoting the need to adopt a healthy mental diet and the importance of developing and maintaining a healthy attitude towards life. Your mind is your greatest asset and deserves to be treated as such. It requires daily maintenance and attention to remain sharp, especially as you get older. With the destabilization of mental health in our society due to pandemic and environmental influences, increased stress, anxiety and depression, we need to feed our minds with nutritious thoughts while dismissing our “junk food” thoughts – negative self-talk – on a daily basis. Using the format of a recipe, this book provides a creative perspective on how positive “ingredients” can be used to support and inspire thinking that leads to optimal self-regulation and leadership. There are recipes that everyone can use to satisfy every palate’s psychological craving. About the Author So often in life it takes a major crisis to wake us up from the trance-like routine life we get trapped in. At the age of 59, Dean Kloter received his “Blow”! A failed business partnership ‘blew’ up his dream business resulting in financial and emotional devastation. This unplanned wakeup call led to a personal reinvention experience, a blessing first disguised as a traumatic event turned into a rebirth – a new and better direction. It’s true that the harder you fall, the higher you bounce (back)! It’s never too late to reinvent yourself!
