FACULTY AND RESEARCH The power of words Whoever first uttered the famous idiom ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me’ had likely never received a harsh review or had someone close to them say something overtly critical or outright mean. Words, whether written or spoken, can be immeasurably powerful, and it is this thought that guides Kenny Rich’s latest book. With clever wordplay and creative flair, Rich brings to life an inspirational and entertaining mental, emotional, and spiritual adventure. Using a combination of poetry, prose, and short stories, he takes readers on an exploration of diverse topics, experiences, sentiments, challenges, and concerns that will have a particular resonance with members of the Y generation. The overriding purpose of his book is to help readers enrich their lives, and he makes a powerful argument that words have a genuine capacity not only to inspire, but also to compel you to action. The Glass: Reflections of a Realistic Idealist Kenny S Rich MBA, Class of 2015 Independently published, July 2017 The secrets to success Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy is the modern day companion to Napoleon Hill’s 1937 classic self-help book Think and Grow Rich. It is fully endorsed by the Napoleon Hill Foundation and has been released in conjunction with a major motion picture. Readers will be inspired by the unflinching accounts of some of today’s most successful entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and cultural icons who rose above the unlikeliest, and in some cases most tragic of circumstances, to find personal fulfillment and make their mark on the world. The wide-ranging case studies include former professional athlete and media mogul Rob Dyrdek, venture capitalist and television personality Barbara Corcoran, self-help guru and international speaker Bob Proctor, and property mogul and bestselling author Grant Cardone. The 25 against-the-odds stories chosen by author James Whittaker act as illustrative examples that potential is not predicated on age, race, finances, education, or any other perceived misfortune. It is in fact the consistent application of a proven formula that turns simple thoughts into meaningful action, elevating ordinary people to extraordinary success in the process.
