Success and Luck

Diane Musho Hamilton is a mediator, group facilitator, and an authentic contemporary spiritual teacher. As a mediator, Diane is well known as an innovator in dialogues, especially conversations about culture, religion, race and gender relations. Whether it’s a co-worker, a family member or a stranger, sometimes we allow others to rattle and upset us. But the people who get under your skin the most can, in fact, be your greatest teachers. Our next guest argues It’s not a matter of overlooking differences, as is often taught, but of regarding those difficult aspects of the relationship with curiosity and compassion--for those very differences offer a path to profound connection. Diane Musho Hamilton joins us to talk about her new book: The Zen of You and Me: A Guide to Getting Along with Just About Anyone

Steven Pressman is Professor of Economics at Colorado State University and Emeritus Professor of Economics and Finance at Monmouth University. In addition, he serves as North American Editor of the Review of Political Economy, and as Associate Editor of the Eastern Economic Journal.  The New York Stock Exchange is a busy and fast place environment with buyers and sellers exchanging stocks. This, as Steven Pressman relates, is similar to a used car dealership. The stocks are sold by an intermediary, similar to a car dealer, and they can be good deals, or not so good deals. Both are difficult to predict, but even the stock market has lemons.
