“Ken Dychtwald maps out where success intersects with meaning—and he provides the tools to help you find your own unique crossing.” —Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
A New Purpose, written by Ken Dychtwald, Ph.D., and Daniel J. Kadlec, redefines the American view of success, employment, retirement, and living a significant life. By providing both the inspiration and the information that will enable anyone to ensure that their time and influence have lasting and positive consequences, A New Purpose, as Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, sees it, “points the way to our true north, the compass we all need to follow of a meaningful life.”

Happiness in life is about more than what's in your bank account or stock portfolio. Success is more than achieving power and respect.

In this hopeful and motivating book, author Ken Dychtwald shares inspiring stories of people who have made a difference and points us to resources that will enable us to do the same. All it takes is an investment in head, heart, and spirit. For those of us who find ourselves asking, "Now what? " A New Purpose has the answers.

William Morrow Paperbacks

The definition of success changes as you grow in life. As a child, it meant pleasing your parents; in high school, it may have meant good grades or popularity; as a professional, success usually means a good salary and the respect of others. But what about the years after your initial goals have been pursued and met? What does success mean then? Leisure or legacy?
For more and more people, it's about making things better and about improving the world in a lasting, significant way—about changing people's lives and altering the course of history for the better. There's an environment to protect and communities to strengthen. There are minds to change and hearts to win. There are examples to set and legacies to leave—your legacy. 
With Purpose is for the bold, for the dreamers who act. It's an urging on why you should commit to have a lasting impact on the world, and it's a manifesto on what you can do to maximize that impact, regardless of whether or not you think you have the resources to do it: you do. It will inspire you, show you how to identify your strengths, and make your next success a significant one.

Meet the men and minds that have ignited the greatest decade of deal making in the history of business
In the 1980s Tom Wolfe coined the term "masters of the universe" for hard-charging Wall Streeters. In the '90s, that term is applied broadly to the takeover pros behind a decade of stunning mergers and acquisitions. The decade produced more than $8 trillion in M&amp;A, far more than the $2.4 trillion in the "decade of greed." Daniel J. Kadlec, Time magazine's Wall Street columnist, quizzed nine top guns about the strategies they used to pull off the greatest deals in history. The result is a penetrating portrait of how business is done at its highest level, with insights and lessons for everyone. Masters Of the Universe will open your eyes to the brave new world of deal making.
The Deal Makers

Masters of the Universe: Winning Strategies of America's Greatest Dealmakers

Biographies & Memoirs

Harper Paperbacks

The names are legendary . . . Sandy Weill . . . Sumner Redstone . . . Carl Icahn . . . Hugh McCoII . . . 
The stories are as fresh as today's headlines . . . Citicorp and Travelers Group . . . NationsBank and BankAmerica . . . Cendant . . . 
Here, for the first time, you can meet the men and the minds that have ignited the greatest decade of deal making in the history of business. 
In the 1980s Tom Wolfe coined the term "masters of the universe" for Wall Street's elite. Then deal makers were pioneering the leveraged buyouts and corporate raiding techniques of that colorful era. Times have changed, tactics have changed. But today merger and acquisition activity goes on at a rate far greater than anything seen in the eighties. To date the nineties have produced an incredible $8 trillion in mergers and acquisitions worldwide, compared to only $2.4 trillion in the so-called decade of greed. 
Wolfe's phrase is even more apt today for the deal makers you are about to meet in this book. 
These are strong, smart, visionary men of business who see what others do not, who act as others cannot, who have the will, the drive, the ambition to make their deals and drive their companies to heights that the rest of us can only envy--and learn from. 
Nine of today's most powerful masters of the universe are profiled in these pages by Time magazine's Wall Street columnist Daniel J. Kadlec. Each of these top guns sat for extensive interviews, as Kadlec quizzed them about their greatest deal and the strategies they used to pull it off: the critical elements they saw that made the deal worth doing, and, ultimately, how they got the deal done. 
The result is a penetrating, incisive portrait of business as it is done at the highest level, with fascinating insights and lessons for each of us. Inside you'll meet:
<ul>
<li>Hugh McColl, with his gripping tale of buyingBankAmerica</li>
<li>Sandy Weill, on how he pulled offthe Citicorp-Travelers merger</li>
<li>Stephen Bollenbach, on the rocky road to breaking up Marriott Corp. </li>
<li>Carl Icahn, with the inside story of his showdown with Texaco</li>
<li>Gary Wilson, on buying Northwest Airlines</li>
<li>Ted Forstmann, as he recounts surviving and then thrivingwith Gulfstream</li>
<li>Joe Rice, on his signature deal carving Lexmark out of IBM</li>
<li>Henry Silverman, as he relates his groundbreaking purchase of Avis</li>
<li>Sumner Redstone, with his farsighted deal for Viacom</li>
</ul>
Superbly written, always engrossing, and filled with the drama of great events and sensational deeds, Masters of the Universe will open your eyes to the brave new world of deal makers and deal making.
 And Here's a Sample of What the Masters Themselves Reveal About Their Deal-Making Strategies
"Stay in one room. . . . Lock all the doors. Don't eat. Don't drink.Don't go to the bathroom until you've got a deal."-- Hugh McColl
"Any number of wonderful deal guys will tell you how important price is when you're buying a company. But I will guarantee you that it's not that important. . . . You buy the wrong business at 25 percent less than you should pay for it and you take a little longer to go broke. You buy the right business at 25 percent more than you should pay, and you make five times your money instead of six."-- Ted Forstmann
