Bøger af James E. Hughes

The Millionaires Club is about a group of close friends who had ordinary jobs and met often to drink beer and laugh at each other's wild dreams. They thought about all the things they would do if they were millionaires, their wild imaginations taking many forms. Since it was all just make-believe, there were no limits on what they could wish. Then, one day, their unofficial leader came up with a plan to make them all wealthy. Thus began their quest for wealth and good fortune.About the AuthorAuthor James E. Hughes has always enjoyed reading good stories that make him think about the characters and how they react to their circumstances. He considers himself a story teller - not an author of novels. He appreciates stories that end with a twist, something unexpected. Since he was particularly fond of the American author, O. Henry, that's where his mind goes when creating stories. He writes the stories in his head and then types them - often several times. The Millionaires Club took several forms until he decided he had found the right way to tell the tale. He would write the story down in full then go back in and fill in the details that fit the characters and their motivation. In October of 2018 he finished all he had to say about The Millionaires Club.

Family The COMPACT AMONG GENERATIONS It's an unfortunate but common pattern: A family achieves wealth and stability but can't sustain its success beyond the second generation. An enterprise fails, a dynasty is lost, and pain and suffering prevail. In Family: The Compact Among Generations, James Hughes presents the reasons and the remedies for this phenomenon. The book is a journey of discovery. Drawing on evidence from ancient history, political science, psychology, physics, organizational science, and a myriad of other disciplines and spiritual traditions, Hughes makes seemingly discordant pieces fit to form a whole that is both instructive and inspiring. Distilled through this seasoned observer of families, the wisdom and insights of some of the finest minds in history make sense in a new way--a way that can truly help families overcome their most formidable challenges. Bringing to bear decades of experience working with and studying families, he maps the mistakes that lead to decline and the approaches to family governance and personal development that can prevent it.
