Segment 1
From Achilles to Superman: A Leader’s Guide to MacIntyre’s History of Ethics
“How can we escape our leadership predicament? We can start with a basic insight that trust or distrust in a leader is often based on the ethics of that leader. Yet many people, including our leaders, struggle to articulate what ethics is even about, much less how it relates to leadership. This book fills that gap by describing how our story of ethics has developed over the last 2,500 years and how understanding that story will help leaders regain the trust of a public that wants and needs their leaders to be worthy of trust.”
Dr. Joseph McInerney is Vice President of Leadership and Ethics Education for the Knights of Columbus. Prior to retiring as a Captain from the United States Navy, he served as the Chair of the Department of Leadership, Ethics, and Law and as Permanent Military Professor of Applied Ethics and Leadership at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. He graduated from The Catholic University of America with a doctorate in moral philosophy.

Mindset – 12 Steps to Health Happiness and Longevity / Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
“Each principle in this book outlines specific steps and strategies for anyone who wishes to improve day-to-day functioning. I use a commonsense approach to create willpower and provide insights from health and wellness experts and peer-reviewed research studies to support these recommendations.”
Joe Sheena says: I am an average Joe that is in the 3rd chapter of life. I’ve recently become a grandad and want desperately to live a fully functional life and refuse to be a health burden on my family. Mindset has to do with the meaning of life and an attitude on your outlook and values. I’ve dedicated most of my adult life to satisfying the needs of others, while abandoning personal needs. This 3rd chapter is dedicated towards finding my inner self through the 12 Steps I’ve found to be helpful in reaching my personal potential. Why write this book? -Help others to defeat personal doubt and self absorption. To create winning habits, build inner confidence and most importantly Love Life! My mantra “Be Bold or Get Old.”
