Résumé

It started during lunch with an old friend. He suggested that I pull together some of the many articles and essays I had written over the years. "I have been reading your stuff for decades and always found it challenging and helpful. Why don't you gather the best of them into a collection?"I decided to have a look and was amazed at what I found. Over the period of roughly four decades, I have penned hundreds of articles on a wide range of topics.
They had been published in a variety of journals and on various websites. As I read through them, I realized that the articles focused on six broad areas. And that those could be divided into two groups of three. The first group, and the focus of this collection, deals broadly with the challenges of being human in human society. Some were designed as thought pieces - essays designed to start a process of contemplation.
The second dealt with what I call transformational journeys - those life changing paths that lead to eureka moments. The third focused on my approach to mentoring - an activity that was driven by my determination to give back to younger generations. As you read through them you will notice common themes that I revisit repeatedly. In that sense, they are the product of a single mind. But you will also notice a diversity of focus.
Many of them were triggered by chance encounters with people who got me thinking or made an unexpected contribution to my understanding. There are too many to list here, but I am so grateful to them for what they gave me of their time and understanding. My hope is that you will read each piece - then take time to think about what you have read. Each represents a slice of whatever wisdom I have accumulated over a long life.
Each contains a kernel or two of hard-won insights. Take your time and let them settle in. Don't be in a hurry to get to the next one. Ingestion should be followed by digestion before the next bite is taken. As a serial entrepreneur, political and social theorist, published author and speaker, and veteran of Wall Street, I served as CEO/Senior Partner for all six of the companies and two non-profits which I founded.
I have experience in mergers and acquisitions, designing and organizing companies, business/technology management, team building, strategic alliances, negotiating complex arrangements, governance & compliance, resourcing & financing, mergers & acquisitions, management/team/board assessment, coaching and strategic and tactical planning and implementation. I am the author of fourteen business books and over 400 articles on a wide range of subjects.
I am also the author of several paranormal, action-adventure novels. I write both fiction and poetry drawn from life experiences. I received a PhD in Political and Social Theory from Strathclyde University in Glasgow, Scotland, an MMS from the Sloan School at MIT, and a BA from the University of Texas. An itinerant, I have lived all over the world, lived in Manhattan for almost two decades and played the great game (intelligence) internationally.
Now I wander about and exhale stories and poems.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Earl Smith

I write action adventure thrillers - often with a paranormal twist. The Cabal Series tells the story of a very powerful female detective and her eclectic adopted family. The John Reynolds Saga begins with Response. It is an international espionage series. More to come soon. Mice is an allegory - a story of a people who rose to prosperity and then, through their own excesses, faced extinction. There are also two short story collections - The Key West Stories and Endings.
The first was written while under the influence of the Conch Republic and the second is about journeys endings. Enjoy the reading and don't forget to send a review.
