Rene Suhardono already successfully attracted many people with tips about career and passion at Radio Hard Rock FM. Now, these tips can be enjoyed in the box with book, Your Job Is Not Your Career, and a bonus book (which strangely even thicker than the main book) titled Career Snippet. 
In his book, we still can feel the charisma Rene, bertuturnya a charming style, and wise messages contained therein. Do not imagine this book boring, because it is a very inspiring also coupled with language in a relaxed and humorous illustrations. 
Rene lot of talk about passion, value and purpose of life. For those who are confused determine a career direction, or are tired of living a so-so alone, this book is very enlightening, especially to revive the idealism that was dead and buried. 

Many parts in this book are enough to make me feel slapped-slap..
Do not blame yourself for being an annoying place! Error is when we know this place is annoying, but we do nothing. Do something! "(Career Snippet, p.138) 


Job belongs to the company (or wherever it is that you work). It has to do with company’s goals, job descriptions, job enviroment, and compensation. Career, on the other hand, is about passion, values, the individual’s life objectives, fulfillment and happiness. Ideally, of course, your job should be the match for your career. Unfortunately, that rarely happens. For reasons of money, prestige, etc., we often sacrifice what we enjoy doing, our values, our own objectives in life, and even the feeling of being fulfilled and happy.
To offset that kind of situation, Rene suggested that we should know (or find them we haven’t already done so) what our passions, values, and life objectives are, and in step by step fashion showed us how to do it. He did all this like a very good friend who intimately knows who we are that in the end it feels like we’ve been confiding in a good friend about our worries and got the right answer.

Reading this book is guaranteed to make us want to rise up again to dig up every passion and dream that this long delayed. Enlightening

New Book : Craking Zone how to map the changes in the 21st century


Crackers are the new designation knowledge leaders who are level on top-level leadership. When you update your company's leaders, crackers instead update the industry. He changed the rules of the game. And more importantly, they do it secretly, and then cause big surprise when the market accept it. For some, the arrival of The Crackers was not preferred because they complicate the position of the incumbent. Like a ballet dancer who ends his toes so strong, they dance with nimble on the floor of thick glass, but caused large cracks in the neighbors garden. Make sure the cracks were not present in the middle circle of your garden. Because if that happens, you can be sucked, fall into the cracks trenches that "crack" it.

Industry Update Yesterday, when you submitted the manuscript Cracking Zone, my publisher told me that the market mainstay books has changed drastically. English-Indonesian dictionary for over 10 years provide the largest revenue began to move down. The fall of around 11 percent. Who stole the book market? You can guess easily.Right! Is not everything can be easily translated through an online dictionary. You just choose the language. No need to pay and very quick! Even the cost of telecommunication has become very cheap. Not just a book publisher. Almost every industry is currently changing. Ranging from airlines to hotels. From insurance to banking. Infant formula until crunchy peanuts.
Even well as plantation and energy. Long competition becomes irrelevant when the crackers industry update. As ever I have to say, has emerged a paradigm freemium to crack premiere products (premium) to Almost free of charge. The fares are very cheap, but the company became very rich. Not because of the volume being pursued or use a high frequency only, but because the business process they dismantled a sleek and simple. With this new model, I also hope the Indonesian bureaucracy can immediately do the cracking was not like now that it seems complicated and not friendly. I am not questioning the bureaucracy of public services services (such as driver's license and ID card processing), but the bureaucratic decision-making strategic decisions such as in infrastructure and agriculture, procurement of goods and services, and financial reporting.
Similarly cracking needs to be realized in the financial sectors-banking is still impressed inefficient. I hope there will be one of national banks with the courage to crack the interest rate is already too long perched on a high level.

Options that exist only on banks that have the potential to get cheap funds (such as BCA) or the Islamic banks. However, cracking is only possible if the authorities of the Central Bank (Bank Indonesia) played a role. Flowers are cheap is a trigger that runs the real sector of small and medium businesses (SMBs). Of course he is not as easy as Southwest Airlines or XL-Axiata update supermurah industry with tariffs. There are monetary implications to consider the monetary authority. However, as faced by the perpetrators of telecommunications in the year 2002-2005, every banker knows, the margin they earn are too high. Now we just wait, which one of the most brilliant bankers, who deserves the nickname The Crackers.
Tips Tony Fernandes "You do not have to listen to what people commonly spoken daily.Because they will give advice 'do not do that' and it turns out they lost. "That's the advice Tony Fernandes, founder of Air Asia, when asked by the entrepreneur in Jakarta last week. Ordinary people always think ordinary, standard, with small leaps. In fact all you need is a big leap. Right. How big is if we want to update the industry? You obviously can not ask the ordinary people that.
As experienced by the Wright brothers successfully flew the plane that did not want to hear the advice of his father, a pastor who said that only the birds and angels can fly alone. But when the man was able to fly the plane, apparently not everyone can fly because the pricing is too expensive. Tony Fernandes also update the industry with the rates supermurah. In fact, when it will start a business flight, he was effectively blocked by people close to Mahathir Mohammad who did not give him room to meet with important people in the country where Tony Fernandes will do the cracking.
"There are only two people who can meet Mahathir. First is the opposition who opposed it and the second, from the CEO of Malaysia Airlines airlines only require $ 8 billion rescue package from the government, "they said. Important lessons from what has been done by crackers is the importance of creativity to grow the cracking effect. You have to keep moving looking for "door", tapping it, and if necessary mendobraknya with a big smile.
But what makes you happy, not the creativity in pintupintu knocking it, but your business process is really simple, modern, efficient, and able to make your products or services of premium quality, but its cost is really low. That's the year-end reflection, a kind of public lecture that I wish to retreat from where I was at the end of this year in Beirut, Lebanon. Congratulations to welcome a bright new year. Hopefully your business more fluttering and next year you also deserve my greetings as The Cracker.

Love For No Reason : 7 Steps to Creating a Life of Unconditional Love

By Marci Shimoff; Carol Kline; Marianne Williamson (Foreword by)
(Free Press, Hardcover, 9781439165027, 368pp.)

In Love for No Reason, transformational expert Marci Shimoff offers a breakthrough approach to experiencing a lasting state of unconditional love—the kind of love that doesn’t depend on another person, situation, or romantic partner, and that you can access at any time and in any circumstance. This is the deepest and truest form of love and is the key to lasting joy and fulfillment in life.


 Like her New York Times bestselling book Happy for No Reason, this compelling and life-changing book draws on cutting-edge scientific research, ancient, time-tested wisdom from cultures across the globe, interviews with 150 experts (Love Luminaries), and practical, proven tools and techniques. Love for No Reason provides a revolutionary 7-step program that will open your heart, make you a magnet for love, and transform your life. 
 You’ll learn how to:
  • Open your heart fully and experience a profound and lasting love from the inside rather than needing to get it from the outside
  • Bring more love to your family, friends, community and the world without overgiving and burning out
  • Feel unconditional love for yourself and stop beating yourself up, criticizing and condemning yourself.
  • Turn off your body’s stress response and activate the physiology of love to improve your health and well-being.
  • Make your romantic relationships more fulfilling.
  • Experience more success and satisfaction at work.
  • Respond with love even to the things that you find most challenging in your life.
  • Break through the boundaries that block love’s flow—including past negative experiences, limiting beliefs about love, judgments and self-doubt.
  • Connect to that state of unconditional love inside that will make you naturally more loving and draw more love into your life.
This is love at its highest and best – it’s what people want most deeply and it’s what the world needs most urgently. Whatever your experience of love is right now—whether you’re in pain or feeling great—you can learn to love at a higher level starting today!
