When he retired early at age 54 from his position as president and chief executive officer of Houston Methodist healthcare system, Larry Mathis wrote the book, The Mathis Maxims: Lessons in Leadership. It became a best seller in the healthcare industry and was frequently used to teach leadership of health care organizations. While he had planned his 27-year healthcare executive career carefully and in detail, he had not planned his retirement. This book is the story of that incredible quarter century of love, life, and travel that followed. Wisdom distilled from a Quarter Century of Love, Life, and Travel TRAVEL IS EDUCATION: When you roam the world as we have, you see the damnedest things. But everything, good and bad, is a learning experience. Travel is a unique and valuable education! MONEY MATTERS: Of course, it does, but it matters differently and in important ways in retirement. CAREER IMPACTS RETIREMENT: What you do professionally before your retirement will have a big impact on what your choices and opportunities are in your retirement years. YOUR SPOUSE: Not only for a traveling companion but, more importantly, a life companion. If you find the right person in life, you will be blessed. YOUR FAVORITE COUNTRY: In conversations with people we meet while traveling, I sometimes mention that we have been to more than 140 countries. Impressed, someone often asks “so what is your favorite country?” I always immediately respond “the United States of America." With all its flaws, which are basically human flaws, it is still a shining example of what a country can and should be. My favorite? You bet! ATTITUDE: My attitude about my love, life and travel has been one of awe, humility, and enormous gratitude!

Larry Mungin spent his life preparing to succeed in the white world. He looked away from racial inequality and hostility, believing he'd make it if he worked hard and played by the rules. He rose from a Queens housing project to Harvard Law School, and went on to practice law at major corporate firms. But just at the point when he thought he'd make it, when he should have been considered for partnership, he sued his employer for racial discrimination. The firm claimed it went out of its way to help Larry because of his race, while Larry thought he'd been treated unfairly. Was Larry a victim of racial discrimination, or just another victim of the typical dog-eat-dog corporate law culture? A thought-provoking courtroom drama with the fast pace of a commercial novel, The Good Black asks readers to rethink their ideas about race and is a fascinating look at the inner workings of the legal profession.

The work of renowned contemporary artist Daniel Arsham blurs the lines between art, architecture, archeology, and design. In his distinctive style, he takes ancient art works and objects from twentieth-century pop culture and casts sculptures of them in geological materials such as quartz or volcanic ash, colliding past, present, and future in haunted yet playful visions that prompt viewers to question their everyday surroundings. Gathered from interviews and other sources, Arsham-isms is a collection of lively, thought-provoking, and memorable quotations from this exciting young creative talent on a wide range of subjects-including art, architecture, film, design, pop culture, the art world, and what it means to be a globally recognized artist today.
