Globonder Samia Bahsoun read Etsko's book on the plane on her way to Egypt. Here is what she has to say about it:  Etsko Schuitema’s book, “Intent: Exploring the
Core of Being Human” could be easily re-entitled: “A recipe for evolution”
where maturity, scaled from birth to death,  takes a whole new meaning.  Through
a series of well articulated distinctions and paradigm shifts, Etsko progressively
takes the student through an “intent” based growth model, where
time as we know it no longer exists, a model  aimed at altering  our
world’s “all about me” mindset for freedom sake.

Follow your dreams or face your fears; more often than not, they will lead you to the same wonderful destination. - Al Secunda

Al Secunda has spent most of his life exploring the realms of mastery, creativity, faith, and freedom. Growing up with several learning disabilities and a healthy helping of tension and fear, he had a challenging time facing each day and achieving his goals.

Al is now committed to sharing these discoveries with others.

Business as warfare—while the comparison is time-honored, today's competitive terrain calls for fresh tactics. Now, Kaihan Krippendorff, a former strategist with McKinsey & Company, mines new inspiration from an ancient source—The 36 Stratagems, a 2,500-year-old treatise born during China's Warring States period. While less famous in the West than I Ching, Sun Tzu's The Art of War and the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, The 36 Stratagems is no less relevant than those works to the business strategist of today.

Krippendorff demonstrates how to outflank the competition by adapting Chinese warfare philosophy to create nimble, unpredictable corporate strategies. He argues that we should add a fundamentally different approach to our strategic toolkit, one based on strategic patterns.
