In 2014, Dave Kerpen, chief executive of Likeable Local and author of "The Art of People," received a postcard that illustrated the traits and behaviors of successful and unsuccessful people.

The card came from fellow Entrepreneurs' Organization member Andy Bailey, the chief executive of Petra Coach, a business-coaching service. Although the two CEOs have never met, Kerpen said in a 2014 LinkedIn post that the postcard has had a profound effect on him, "reinforcing... Читать дальше...

The Market for Financial Adviser Misconduct

There are more wolves on Wall Street than you might realize.

In a paper published February 26, academics Mark Egan, Gregor Matvos, and Amit Seru looked at conduct records for financial advisers.

They point out that while a number of highly publicized scandals (think: "The Wolf of Wall Street") have rocked the industry, the full scale of misconduct has not been "systematically documented."

Their study, they argue, is "the first... Читать дальше...

Stars are, in fact, a lot like us — which includes sitting on their couches and endlessly consuming new TV shows they heard were great.

Celebrities haven't escaped this new national pastime. And who would expect them to? According to a recent TiVo survey, about nine out of 10 people are regularly binge-viewing at least three episodes of a program in one sitting.

TV and film stars often count themselves among the biggest entertainment fans out there. Not only that, but... Читать дальше...

NASA just announced it is currently developing a supersonic jet intended for commercial use. It will feature "boom reduction" technology to lessen the impact of the sonic boom heard from the ground when the aircraft flies overhead.

One of the most tumultuous weeks in recent Republican Party history ended with a sort of détente.

Sen. Ted Cruz has painted GOP frontrunner Donald Trump as a liberal who will work with the Republican Party's most vehement Democratic enemies in Congress. Sen. Marco Rubio has labeled Trump, over and over again, as a "con man."

Yet, when pressed at Thursday's debate, both senators said they'd support Trump if he ends up as the Republican nominee — a scenario that grows more and more likely by the day. Читать дальше...

These sports may be strange and hard to believe, but that's what makes them so great and hilarious.

Police dressed in riot gear seized the headquarters of Turkey's highest-circulation newspaper in a midnight raid Saturday, in arguably the biggest blow yet to press freedom in President Recep Erdogan's Turkey.

The government takeover of Today's Zaman was evidently in response to Erdogan's perception of the paper as a front for the Gülen movement — a social movement led by the Turkish scholar and preacher Fethullah Gülen that is openly critical of Erdogan's government. Читать дальше...

Facebook gives its employees a lot of sweet perks.

But what makes Facebook a unique place to work isn't its vibrant campuses or cushy salaries. It's the sheer, insane scale of how many people use its product around the world. 

That's according to John Hegeman, director of engineering for advertising delivery, ecommerce, and analytics.

When Xerox's executive team met in 2014 to discuss the proposed sale of its information technology outsourcing (ITO) business to the French company Atos, everyone expressed agreement that it was the financially savvy decision, CEO Ursula Burns told journalist Adam Bryant at the New York Times New Work Summit on Tuesday.

71 years ago, thousands of Japanese settlers—mostly women and children—found themselves trapped in an area then known as Manchuria, or Manchukuo, the name of the puppet state the Japanese military established in 1931.

Abandoned by their army, 80,000 Japanese civilians died in northeast China, roughly equal to the number who perished after the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki.

Now, in a small northeast China town named Fangzheng, their memory lives in a one-of-a-kind... Читать дальше...

Over the past 15 years, I’ve held Q&A sessions with over a million people at more than a thousand events around the world.

In all but a handful of these events, people bring up their bosses – and vent about them. This topic comes up without fail, no matter where I am, or what industry or company I’m speaking to.

The troubles range from, "My boss is too difficult and demanding" to "My boss doesn’t really care about me, it’s all about her" to "I’ve... Читать дальше...

Scattered around the US are the remnants of a space race from half a century ago.

Before it fell completely into disarray, Roland Miller decided to capture the ruins on camera.

Here are some of the images featured in his book:

Showing up and not knowing how your manager will treat you.
