The motivating host of one of the nation's largest leadership conferences offers a collection of inspirational and applicable life lessons through conversations with various high profile people.Albert Einstein once said, “To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.” What is true of science, I’m convinced, is true in all of life. Great questions are often the keys that unlock possibilities for human advancement. That truth has been proven again and again throughout human history, as great interviewers from Bob Costas to Barbara Walters have captivated audiences and ignited imaginations. In a world where the messages of public figures and politicians are carefully crafted by publicists and media consultants, we often receive only partial pictures and manipulated facts. The right questions uncover truths we might not otherwise know. They pull back the curtain on the wizard and give us a more accurate view of reality. —Excerpt from the Introduction If you could sit down with the people you most admire and ask just one question, what would you ask? One Question invites you to peer over the shoulder of a master interviewer with access to today’s best and brightest as he delivers carefully crafted questions and collects answers guaranteed to surprise, challenge, and inspire. • What is Coach Tony Dungy’s advice for achieving success while maintaining integrity? • What advice does Malcolm Gladwell give parents about instilling a work ethic in our children? • How does President Jimmy Carter suggest we continue forward and reinvent ourselves in new seasons? • What does Robin McGraw have to say to women about reaching their full potential both inside and outside their homes?
This is the story of a woman's search to find her children and the unlikely alliance she forms with their kidnapper as they make an epic journey across the Great Plains of Kansas and Colorado. The longer they dwell in each other's company, the closer they become, even though she struggles to understand the enigmatic Indian who not only throws her into ice cold rivers just for the hell of it, but likes to add insult to injury by spanking her butt afterward. Then by complete contrast, he tenderly, cares for her and her daughter as they journey west facing danger at every turn. Although violent and harrowing, this is also a love story set in 1875 when there was much resentment between Indian and white settlers resulting in more than one massacre of innocent women and children of various tribes. This is a work of fiction but history tells us that such atrocities happened. One notable example was Custer's raid on peaceful Cheyenne people in Colorado, resulting in the deaths of numerous women and children.
