Enter Mindfulness: Money Advice in Uncertain Times
By Porchlight
"Pundits talk, bloggers blog, regulators write new rules, and financial firms create new products, while ordinary folks get more and more terrified and less and less ahead. Something in our approach to personal finance must shift. The search outside ourselves for answers is getting us nowhere. We're drowning in a salty sea of information without a single drop of clear common sense. What we need is not more financial intelligence. What we need is emotional intelligence. What we need is mindfulness."

What If Everyone Brought Their Soul to Work?
By Porchlight
"What if we told you that profit can be the fuel that empowers you to do some serious good in the world? What would happen if we intentionally tore down those walls that separate us from going to work and giving back—where everyone was given permission to do good while they did their work? Think about how that would even affect your customers; how do you think they'd react if they were given the chance to see the kind of positive impact the dollars they spend can have on the world?"

Death or Glory in the Digital Age of Marketing
By Porchlight
"We are over halfway through a massive transformation of the advertising industry. Smartphone penetration is getting close to 100% in many parts of the world and it won't be too long (maybe 2-3 years) before most TV and video viewing is streamed on demand and most newspapers and magazines will be read on a screen. At that point, almost all marketing will be digital. In parallel, the amount of data about your customers (and potential customers) is growing exponentially. These two trends are converging to destroy mass marketing, along with the associated slow planning timelines and wasted budgets. To succeed in this new world, the marketing function needs to reinvent itself fast, and it won't be easy."

Turn On, Tune In, Drop In!
By Jagat
"Your most amplified life is possible. That means amplified health, amplified happiness, amplified love, and amplified success. Yoga is a set of tools developed and refined over thousands of years that maximizes the body systems and the space-time continuum of the world around us, meaning our experience of reality, to create the most immense results in all areas of life. Kundalini Yoga is a pure, unbroken stream of these yogic practices and I believe is the quickest, most direct—and most accessible—way to activate your own path of Invincible Living."

Want to be a Great Leader? Learn to "Be the Fulcrum"
By Porchlight
"To be a great leader you cannot rest on your laurels and you cannot stick with your natural leader-ship tendency when the situation demands otherwise, no matter how well that style has served you in the past. You must be willing and able to shift the balance when the situation demands it."

Seizing Success: How Mindset Makes It Happen
By Porchlight
"There are countless books on the subject of success, but with few exceptions, they approach success from the wrong angle. They preach about how success can be achieved quickly and retained forever, and they are hooked on the methodology and the management of success, not on the most fundamental piece of the puzzle: our mindset of success."
