Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Santiago de Chile.

Santiago de Chile is the capital and economic centre of Chile. The city has many museums, theaters, restaurants, bars and other entertainment and cultural opportunities. Its central location within Chile make it a great base for visiting other areas such as Valparaiso. In Santiago it is possible to ski in the nearby Andes and later in the same day be on the beach.

Chile's steady economic growth has transformed Santiago into Latin America's most modern metropolitan area, with extensive suburban development, dozens of shopping centers, and impressive high-rise architecture. It has a very modern transport infrastructure, including the steadily growing underground Santiago Metro. Santiago is also the regional headquarters to many multinationals and a financial center.

Handbook of the New Thought is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the law of attraction, affirmations, meditation, mental healing of the body, and mind treatment.  It is perfect for anyone who wants to change their life in any way.  In clear language this book explains how the power of thought can be used to change your life and heal the body, mind and spirit, and thus eliminate fear, anxiety, worry, nervousness, pessimism and unbelief.  The author explains what New Thought is and how it arose in the 1800s, and gives practical tips for using the ideas in daily life.  The power of the mind is the most important asset each of us has.  It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, male or female, or where you live or anything else, each person has this great asset -- the power to change their thinking and thus change their life.  Yes, we all find ourselves in particular circumstances that may appear to be holding us back for whatever reason, but we still have the awesome power to decide how to respond to those circumstances with our thoughts and actions.  We can always affect the outcome.  We always have choices.  Often we forget just how much power that fact truly gives us.  Dresser reminds us eloquently in this book, over and over again, just how important it is to remember this truth.  Handbook of the New Thought has been unavailable in either print or digital form for many years.  This new edition of Handbook of the New Thought is edited into gender neutral language to make it even more accessible to a 21st century audience.

Horatio W. Dresser (1866–1954) was a major leader in the New Thought movement, and the author of many important books on the movement.  He grew up steeped in New Thought.  His parents, Julius and Annetta Seabury Dresser, studied in New England with Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (1802-1866), the man to whom the origin of the New Thought movement is generally traced.  Dresser was admitted to Harvard in 1891, dropped out in 1893 when his father died, returned in 1903 and completed his Ph.D. in 1907.  In 1921, Dresser compiled Quimby's manuscripts and made them available to readers in full for the first time.  Dresser died on March 30, 1954 in Boston, Massachusetts.

William F. Shannon is the Publisher and Editor of Hudson Mohawk Press.  He holds a Master of Arts in Integrated Studies/Cultural Studies from Athabasca University in Canada.

Hiring the best possible administrative assistant: why it’s so crucial and how to do it.

Many people you’ll deal with as a leader start forming their opinions of you long before you meet them--when they first call or visit your office and encounter your assistant. This person advertises who you are in your organization. Hiring the right assistant should be a top priority as you enter your leadership role, and the process needs your personal attention.
