Author Pamela Slim gives thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs start-up advice each year, but believes that workplaces of all sizes can benefit from a fresh view of career development. Learn the keys to creating a stimulating and rewarding work life which includes non-mafia management, rapid testing of new business ideas, High Councils of Jedi Knights, creative posses, personal backbone and a life plan that is based on your definition of success, not your parent's."

Museum Legs—taken from a term for art fatigue—starts with a question: Why do people get bored and tired in art museums and why does that matter? As Whitaker writes in this humorous and incisive collection of essays, museums matter for reasons that have less to do with art as we know it and more to do with business, politics, and the age-old question of how to live. Maybe the great age of museums will yet be a great age of creativity and hopeful possibility in everyday life.
