This is NOT a get rich quick book This is a recipe for how to change yourself into the person who can both live their values AND simultaneously create wealth. Paul tells the story of how he took his 25 year old business from mediocre to massive almost overnight. No new products, no new processes, no new systems, no new industry. Just a new mindset. You will learn: - Why your personal relationship with money determines the height of your glass ceiling.- How to radically improve your finances just by undoing your subconscious beliefs about money.- What others have done to improve their money mindset enough to see it reflected in their bank accounts.- Why you can change jobs, careers, even industries and stay stuck with your finances.- Why you cant 'win' just by making more money - even if you 10X in a year - How to create wealth by making minuscule changes to the way you spend what you have. There are only two possibilities - either you work for your money or your money works for you. This is the truth about how your hidden subconscious programming (habits, scripts, patterns...) means you never get your money working for you. Eighty percent of the population never get off the rat wheel and achieve financial freedom. They keep themselves stuck by looking for the next short cut, hot tip or rising industry. The twenty percent who escape the grind, do so by looking within and transforming their relationship with money.

The poetry of the Provencal troubadours has had a profound influence on the development of the lyric, from Dante and Petrarch to Ezra Pound and the Black Mountain poets, despite the difficulty of Old Provencal, or Occitan, the original language of the troubadours. The renewed interest of the English-speaking world in troubadour poetry was initiated in the early twentieth century by Pound s criticism and translations of the troubadours. Yet no poet writing in English has done more for this body of work than the American poet and translator Paul Blackburn, who devoted more than twenty years to the study and translation of "occitan ancien." "Proensa" is the result of that long commitment, an anthology of thirty troubadour poets of the eleventh through thirteenth centuries. It is a dexterous and spirited work of translation, which, as George Economou writes in his introduction, will take its place among Gavin Douglas "Aeneid," Golding s "Metamorphoses," the Homer of Chapman, Pope, and Lattimore, Waley s Japanese, and Pound s Chinese, Italian, and Old English.

Few works have shaped a national literature as thoroughly as the Poem of the Cid has shaped the Spanish literary tradition. Tracing the life of the eleventh-century military commander Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, called El Cid (from the Arabic Sayyidi, ""My Lord""), this medieval epic describes a series of events surrounding his exile. The text of the poem survives in only one early-thirteenth-century manuscript copied by a single scribe, yet centuries later the figure of the Cid still was celebrated in the Spanish popular ballad tradition. Today almost every theme that characterizes Spanish literature-honor, justice, loyalty, treachery, and jealousy - derives from the Poem of the Cid. Restored by poet and medievalist George Economou, this elegant and spirited translation by Paul Blackburn is judged by many the finest English translation of a great medieval poem.
