The main functions of a learning and development department are to provide learning opportunities to employees, enrich their knowledge and skills, improve their personal cultivation, and help them develop their careers within the organization. The aim is to align employee goals and performance with the organization. To the surprise of many people, the ultimate objective of a learning and development department is to retain talents. This book talks about the reasons for employees quitting their jobs, the different kinds of learning methods and course contents, trends in learning and development, how to change employees from forced learning to voluntary learning and how organizations can use learning and development as tools to retain talents.

More and more corporations, organizations and governments promote equity, diversity and inclusion as their core values. The propelling force behind that is not only because of justice - to eliminate the systemic discrimination that identifiable groups, such as women, seniors and visible minorities, have experienced by increasing their representation in employment, education and other opportunities. An equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment can also promote those organizations' images and reputations and enable their employees, contractors, and business partners to reach their full potential and contribute their best by feeling respected, treated fairly, and working in comfortable environments. This book analyzes how diversity and inclusion should be done to achieve equity as the final goal. It suggests organizations and government use a quantity approach in diversity.

Life lease is a relatively new concept in some jurisdictions. Most people, including real estate brokers and lawyers, may not be familiar with the operations of a life lease, and some people even have never heard about it. Since it is not common in many areas, there is a lack of legislation to protect consumers.However, the need for life lease communities has significantly increased due to the baby boomers. It is because most of the baby boomers can afford life lease style living and would buy them for their retirement life.There are different life lease sponsors in the market. Although most of them are non-profit organizations, the prices, quality and services vary among them. I hope this book can help consumers select the right life lease community and provide the sponsors with some ideas to improve their business models.

Many scholars in neuroscience and psychology have talked about how our brain works or how it affects our behaviour. However, those studies have nothing to do with creativity training. The relationship is like the one between medical doctors and athletic training. You will not consult a doctor about how to play basketball or football well although sports are related to our body. Similarly, we will not consult a neurologist or a psychologist about how to think creatively although it is related to our brain. People always say "Think outside of the box " and show you success stories of such a creative thinking method, but no one can show you exactly How to think outside of the box? Learning how to think creatively is like learning how to drive a car. The engineers may tell you how a car works, the mechanism of an engine, the transmission, steering and braking systems. They may also tell you all the terminologies of a car, brake bias, fuel injection, PSI, etc. However, knowing all those things will not make you a good driver. People who say "Think outside of the box " is like shouting "Drive Safe " to a teenager without a driver's license but tries to drive a car. They cannot help or teach the teenager how to drive just by telling them to do so. A book that tells you how your brain works or how to define problem-solving techniques cannot help or teach you how to think creatively. In other words, you cannot think outside of the box just by knowing the terminologies and how our brain works. Differential Cogitation will tell you how to make your brain work and how to solve problems so that you can think like a CEO Become a Professional Problem Solver Differential Cogitation provides you with a set of creativity techniques and a system for problem-solving that will help you to solve problems like a CEO, see the bigger picture, be more creative thus create better outcomes in your work and your life. This book is an SOP for problem-solving and creative thinking. Every person who wants to be more creative should read it.

If you are a prospective franchisee, you will benefit from understanding the logic behind franchise businesses to aid you in making wise decisions.

Antimatter - the future of clean energy. One microgram of this substance can power a rocket to Mars; one milligram of it can produce a bomb that is ten times more powerful than a hydrogen bomb, with no radioactive aftermath. However, one gram of antimatter costs more than $100 billion; this is why the terrorists will stop at nothing to steal the antimatter - even if it means betraying their loved ones.
