Being mindful is allowing us to be open to different possibilities. The early stages of mindful will allow children to grow up and learn how to handle situations. Children see the world as a chance to explore, learn, and adapt to different environments. This will help them to know how to handle change and to be prepared of the outcomes. Lastly, being mindful will allow children to know that everything will be okay as long as you have an open mind.

The Philanthropic Mind is based on dozens of candid interviews with Canada's top philanthropists who share their personal stories and surprising insights. You will find the views of these accomplished Canadians instructive, intriguing, perhaps even validating, and certainly motivational.The Philanthropic Mind is a rare opportunity to learn from and be inspired by Canada's most generous individuals - and to glean the real reasons behind some of their largest donations. It provides eye-opening perspectives for nonprofit professionals, board members and volunteers, as well as budding and seasoned philanthropists.Here is what some people have said about The Philanthropic Mind"WOW, what an awesome read! I couldn't put the book down. The quotes and anecdotes from philanthropists were so compelling.""The book has something for everyone. It is at one time, a 'how to' for fundraisers, a guide for philanthropists, and an entertaining read for those who are not in the fundraising world.""I really enjoyed this book. It allowed the philanthropists to tell their story - and I often felt like I was being let in on a secret. Everyone in the nonprofit world should read and learn from this important collection."

This book candidly and unabashedly tackles the myths and realities of investment advice. It will highlight the challenges of getting worthwhile help. It outlines how investors can access truly worthwhile investment advice, what to avoid and what are reasonable (or unreasonable) expectations of their advisors. The purpose of this book is to empower investors and elevate industry standards, so that consumers can be better served, and well-intentioned advisors are better equipped to serve them.The inspiration for Partners in Preservation came from losing money - a lot of money. In the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008, I was staring at my brokerage statements in shock and disbelief. How could my portfolio be a fraction of its original value? How could the cadre of financial advisors I used have possibly gotten me into this mess? And I was not the only one.During that time, I was involved in overseeing the Canadian endowment for my alma mater, Yeshiva University. I was surrounded by captains of industry, the most respected corporate executives, extremely successful entrepreneurs, and seasoned investors. They comprised my investment committee. Yet, in the weeks and months after the crash of financial markets, as we sat there analysing the carnage of the portfolio, it became clear that no one understood how we got here, why our advisors proved useless during this period, and who was going to get us out.As I probed these questions, it occurred to me that the mistake was not really the advisors', as much as it was ours. We were all leaning on pillars that did not exist, relying on promises that could not be made, and buying into fiction - the story of investment advice.It became clear to me that, in most cases, investment advice is not dispensed, it is utilized to tease out capital from its unsuspecting owners. It is a means to an end, not for the investor, but for the individual who will be compensated by the investments thereof. In fact, it appeared that the majority of the industry was in cahoots on this, and hardly anyone was taking note or protesting loudly against it.This book is my protest. It is my attempt to reintroduce genuine investment advice (while exposing the faux version thereof), where it can be found, and who is qualified to dispense it.
