Описание: "A hero's tale of what's possible when we unlock our potential, continue the search for knowledge, and draw on our lived experiences to guide us through the darkest moments."--Stacey AbramsFrom a black, gay woman who broke into the boys' club of Silicon Valley comes an empowering guide to finding your voice, working your way into any room you want to be in, and achieving your own dreams. In 2015, Arlan Hamilton was on food stamps and sleeping on the floor of the San Francisco airport, with nothing but an old laptop and a dream of breaking into the venture capital business. She couldn't understand why people starting companies all looked the same (white and male), and she wanted the chance to invest in the ideas and people who didn't conform to this image of how a founder is supposed to look. Hamilton had no contacts or network in Silicon Valley, no background in finance--not even a college degree. What she did have was fierce determination and the will to succeed. As much as we wish it weren't so, we still live in a world where being underrepresented often means being underestimated. But as someone who makes her living investing in high-potential founders who also happen to be female, LGBTQ, or people of color, Hamilton understands that being undervalued simply means that a big upside exists. Because even if you have to work twice as hard to get to the starting line, she says, once you are on a level playing field, you will sprint ahead. Despite what society would have you believe, Hamilton argues, a privileged background, an influential network, and a fancy college degree are not prerequisites for success. Here she shares the hard-won wisdom she's picked up on her remarkable journey from food-stamp recipient to venture capitalist, with lessons like"The Best Music Comes from the Worst Breakups," "Let Someone Shorter Stand in Front of You," "The Dangers of Hustle Porn,"and"Don't Let Anyone Drink Your Diet Coke." Along the way, she inspires us all to defy other people's expectations and to become the role models we've been looking for.
The great scientific advances of the 20th and 21st centuries should have resulted in near-perfect health for all of humanity. We, the human race, should be healthy and thriving right now. With all our collective, accumulated knowledge, there is no reason that we all aren't healthy, prosperous and living in a clean environment. We could be boosting all manner of human performance and longevity. This clearly has not happened. Despite the elimination of most infectious disease through nutrition, sanitation and hygiene, formerly the greatest killers of humanity, we are sicker than ever before. We have replaced the old killers with a new set of disease epidemics that barely existed before the turn of the 20th century, a bit more than 100 years ago. Heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are among the new big killers. Like the infectious diseases before them, however, these too are preventable and treatable using simple methods, and for most cases, fully reversible.
This book presents 4 Main Concepts that summarize what our true state of health should be, what has gone wrong, and more importantly, how to fix it.
Concept 1. What is health, and why don't we have it?
Concept 2. The Whole is Greater than the Sum of the Parts
Concept 3. Why should I bother to be Healthy?
Concept 4. Consciousness - It's How We Explore the Universe
This book is an instruction manual for how to restore and maintain your health. In the past, too much emphasis has been placed on disease: how to define it, how to fight it, how to be comfortable living with it. Not nearly enough emphasis has been placed on the concept that health is our birthright, that we are all supposed to be healthy, and that health is the means to a much more important goal, the larger spiritual goal that is the purpose of our life. Once we are under way with healing our own life, it is time to work collectively to advance the cause of humanity. It is time to get started. It is time to Heal Your Life, and Heal the World.
