Resed Notes

The Science of Magic is a classless, skill-based, fantasy role playing game with an object oriented magic system.

A Book. A Journal. A Daily Coach. For Every Day of the Year. Change is hard. It takes patience and consistent effort, yet the rewards are great. Let The Daily Reset be your guide. A fantastic and timely book. Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times bestselling author and world leading leadership thinker and executive coach. We get to write a new page of our lives each and every day. No matter what the day holds, we go to sleep and reset for the new one ahead. Each daily reset gives us an opportunity to improve, by small yet valuable margins. This book provides guidance, inspiration and knowledge to improve your wellbeing and of those around you, every day of the year. Each month has a theme; Movement, Habits, Sleep, Energy, Mindfulness, Nutrition, Exercise, Purpose, Ways of Working, Resilience, Leadership, and Community, to help you navigate the year and find your own unique recipe. Wellbeing is a journey. We might not find the right path the first time. In fact, it’s something that is always changing, evolving as we adapt to the way our life journey throws us surprises, setbacks and fortune, pleasure and pain. Such is the richness of life. Both journey and journal come from the same root, the Old French jour, or day. Every journey starts with a step, a day. If you don’t get it right today, simply reset. And go again tomorrow. 365 days a year. There is magic in the everyday. Let’s begin.

The story of Steve Schwarzman, Blackstone, and a financial revolution, King of Capital is the greatest untold success story on Wall Street. In King of Capital, David Carey and John Morris show how Blackstone (and other private equity firms) transformed themselves from gamblers, hostile-takeover artists, and ‘barbarians at the gate’ into disciplined, risk-conscious investors while the financial establishment—banks and investment bankers such as Citigroup, Bear Stearns, Lehman, UBS, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley—were recklessly assuming risks, leveraging up to astronomical levels and driving the economy to the brink of disaster. Now, not only have Blackstone and a small coterie of competitors wrested control of corporations around the globe, but they have emerged as a major force on Wall Street, challenging the likes of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley for dominance. Insightful and hard-hitting, filled with never-before-revealed details about the workings of a heretofore secretive company that was the personal fiefdom of Schwarzman and Peter Peterson, King of Capital shows how Blackstone and private equity will drive the economy and provide a model for how financing will work in the years to come.
