"Payal has beautifully defined success as to ‘reach where you want from where you are.’ She emphasizes rightful karma or focused execution to keep you on the right path so that you are always walking in a direction that takes you toward your goal." Dr. Arun Arora, CEO, EDVANCE "This book is full of practical tips on how to become a successful leader and the best part is Payal has narrated it wonderfully with appropriate fables and relevant case studies.... Her entrepreneurial attitude and impactful wisdom are commendable and evident in the IPL series." Swapna Hari, Director, Cognizant "This book by Payal Nanjiani will join the best of business literature for emphasizing attitude as our biggest asset." Swami Mukundananda of Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog (JKYog) Institute Gathering insights from 20 years of the author’s executive coaching in the United States and abroad, this book presents 21 mindfulness strategies for business leaders, corporate heads, entrepreneurs, and professionals. During the author’s coaching sessions for business and corporate leaders and her trainings at corporations, mid-sized businesses, small businesses, and start-up organizations, she discovered that there is a wide gap between those who achieve success and those who do not. This gap indicates that there is still something significant missing in the business world. Success Is Within fills this gap by encouraging business professionals to "mind the mind." Written in accessible, easy-to-digest language, and targeted towards busy US business professionals who long for thought-leadership to boost their success, the book argues that success depends on changing one’s mindset in key ways. Each chapter focuses on one way to transform one’s mindset to achieve success. The union of these 21 ways provides a uniquely comprehensive program for leadership success in business and corporate careers. Drawing from a blend of Eastern and Western wisdom, the book blends true-life storytelling about the challenges of actual business professionals with insights drawn from traditional parables from classic "wisdom books" to inspire readers to think-through how to transform their mindsets. Ultimately, the book helps magnify one’s inner power: the power of one’s mind. The book calls on business professionals to unleash their "inner leader." When they recognize the power of their inner leader, they will become unstoppable.

James Bond, Ian Fleming’s irrepressible and ubiquitous ‘spy,’ is often understood as a Cold Warrior, but James Bond’s Cold War diverged from the actual global conflict in subtle but significant ways. That tension between the real and fictional provides perspectives into Cold War culture transcending ideological and geopolitical divides. The Bondiverse is complex and multi-textual, including novels, films, video games, and even a comic strip, and has also inspired an array of homages, copies, and competitors. Awareness of its rich possibilities only becomes apparent through a multi-disciplinary lens. The desire to consider current trends in Bondian studies inspired a conference entitled ‘The Bondian Cold War,’ convened at Tallinn University, Estonia in June 2019. Conference participants, drawn from three continents and multiple disciplines – film studies, history, intelligence studies, and literature, as well as intelligence practitioners – offered papers on the literary and cinematic aspects of the ‘spy’, discussed fact versus fiction in the Bond canon, went in search of a global Bond, and pondered gender and sexuality across the Bondiverse. This volume of essays inspired by that conference, suitable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in Cold War culture, makes vital contributions to understanding Bond as a global phenomenon, across traditional divisions of East and West, and beyond the end of the Cold War from which he emerged.
