C. William Sellers, global head of oncology at Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research, described a similar experience.

8 Books For a Higher Existence Books are magical inventions. By carrying meaning, they gives us glimpses of experience and knowledge from a different world. Phonetic language, being cut-off from time and place, the Now, helps both to encapsulate the ego more, but also to offer guidance to make it poriferous, letting Eros free. Without books we would lose this guidance. If you’re done reading this list and want to level up more – check out part two! Thus Spoke Zarathustra – Friedrich Nietzsche Thus Spoke Zarathustra is Nietzsche’s most prophetic book in which he offers his teachings through the words of Zarathustra, based on the Persian prophet Zoroaster, who, after spending ten years on a mountain in meditation only accompanied by his Eagle and Serpent, comes down to offer his wisdom to the world.

How to create magic Oh, Seth. He wrote in “Who has a seat at the table?” this…. “When designing a new product or program, it’s pretty clear that a successful organization will invite:The lawyer, so you don’t break any laws.The CFO, so that you’ll understand how much this thing will cost and how well it will pay off.The CTO/Tech folks, so you’ll spec something that can actually be built and will work.And probably designers, marketers and lobbyists–all the people you need to bring the thing into the world.But where’s the person in charge of magic? I think Seth is wrong. I think the worst thing would be to put someone in charge of the magic. Here is magic I have personally witnessed.. An advisor leaving her desk, walking out the office, going down three flights of stairs and into a wet carpark where she sat inside an old disabled couple’s car to personally go through with them the tangled bureaucracy of applying for a benefit. The magic isn’t in designing in the special features, it is designing in the people.
