Sorting out our lives amidst chaos, confusion, and innumerable options is a process we all have in common. The decisions we ultimately make can affect our lives and the lives of others. It’s not always easy. In this empowering guide, an expert in business strategies shares the choices of notable, visionary decision-makers—from Harry Truman and Henry Ford to Marie Curie and Malala Yousafzai—and explains how you can apply their principles to your own personal and professional real-life scenarios.

Resolve, patience, and practical thinking—take it from these politicians, scientists, economists, inventors, entrepreneurs, theologians, activists, and commanders of war and peace. Their inspiring counsel will give you the tools you need to help change your life. Both big and small, your choices can shape the minutes, days, weeks, and years ahead. This book is the first motivating step in the right direction.

Special Quarter Century Red Booklet

This Red Book was originally issued in 2011 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of The Dilenschneider Group in October of 1991 to serve corporate, institutional, organizational, and individual clients around the world. For each one of those 20 years, we selected a memorable event, accompanied by a quote that captured its importance from people who had played key roles.

This year, to mark our 25th anniversary, we are reissuing the original booklet with a new year-by-year section for 2012-16, again accompanied by appropriate quotes.

"Occasional Papers" Series

Our new series entitled "Occasional Papers" covers subjects of special significance to the times we live in.

We open with “The War Between Optimism & Pessimism”, which is particularly timely since it explores the ongoing conflict between those who view the march of technological innovation as healthy for the U.S. economy and those who fear it is a job-destroying danger to our future.

The author, Joel Kurtzman, is a Senior Consultant to The Dilenschneider Group, a Senior Fellow at the Milken Institute, and a Senior Fellow at the Wharton School. We think you will find his piece thought-provoking as well as informative.
