Book Description
These Morning Musings are based on questions and observations inspired by trans-national business transactions. In this book, the author follows legal and business developments in different countries and muses about them. Whether it is about business decisions, immigration challenges, trademark disputes, or liability management, all of these topics ignite the global thinking. The book gives you food for thought and many reasons to reflect and to smile. Curiosity about these topics will most likely morph into a larger contemplation to foster a better understanding of global trends. - mus·ing (myo͞o′zĭng), adj. Deep in thought; contemplative, n.1. Contemplation; meditation 2. A product of contemplation; a thought The other day a friend called me and started the conversation by saying, "OK, boomer," and he laughed. I realized he did not mean me personally - clearly, I am not a boomer by the common generational approach - but it was his way of saying, "I watched your musing, and I liked it." Additionally, I get this question, sometimes during dinner meetings or small talk, "What is the source of your ideas?" Do you want to know what inspires me every day? Where do I develop the ideas for the Morning Musings?Clearly talking with my family about life and the world, traveling to different continents, working as the Chairman of an international law firm serving global clients and their businesses: All of this together is the ongoing source of my inspiration. My musings are based on questions and observations arising out of working trans-national business transactions. I also follow legal and business developments in different countries. And there is so much food for thought. Or reason to reflect and smile. Is there time to allow this thought to develop and to morph into a contemplation? "Brief and packed full of information, insight and humor. These Morning Musings have opened my eyes and helped me better understand today's ever changing world. OK Boomer, do you want to start your day out armed with information? I sure do! I start my day with the Morning Musing. These timely talks somehow make their way into my daily life and make me seem smarter. By the way, has anyone found our family Christmas Pickle ornament? Warning: The Musings may make you think and want to know more."- Kenneth W. Bacon, President and CEO Horizon Electric, Inc. "Refreshing view on a topic which continues to be discussed during these unprecedented times. Reinhard's ability to make these thought provoking discussions seem like you are sitting down with your neighbor make this book a must read." - Rich Baich, Chief Information Security Officer, AIG "Each musing, which is itself only a few paragraphs, provides a full depth and wealth of information. Despite there being a lot of information within each musing, the book is produced in a way that is easy to read and understand. I believe this is Reinhard's deeper idea, not just to inform, but to make me as the reader or listener think or smile about the world and humanity at large." - Dr. Henning O. Bruns, Chairman of the Leadership Committee of the German American Chamber of Commerce (GACC South), North Carolina Chapter - Senior Partner CON MOTO Consulting Group Inc. "Reinhard has a vast knowledge of complex global business issues and distills his thoughts for a quick read. His wit contributes to very entertaining and informative musings. A great way to get up to speed with current events affecting international business operations." - Johnelle Causwell, Citizen Diplomacy Program Director, International House Charlotte "Reinhard's musings are a great way to get a comprehensive, in-depth overview of the current market situation.. Especially now, that rules & regulations change so quickly, it's important to stay on top. These musings are definitely a great, effective way to do so."- Hans H. Hilgenstock, Key Account Manager Carolinas, Kuehne + Nagel, Inc.

Book Description
What happens when attraction becomes affection? It is when you see the person, you heave a sigh. It is when you see their smile, your dismal day becomes sunny and bright. It is when you hear their voice, you go uh-oh while your heart dances a do-si-do. It is when you look into their eyes and all of a sudden, thousands of shooting stars flicker and a vibrant moon bow starts illuminating the night sky. And endless thoughts about the person start inhabiting your mind and you can not stop musing. Musing, thats what happens when attraction becomes affection. It is when you still see them, even if you close your eyes. It is when you smile every time you think of them. It is when you dance even to a silent tune. It is when your normal day becomes extraordinary just because you remember them! Now, all your days and nights are occupied with thoughts of them and your journal is filled with your Musings.

Book Description
The acclaimed author of Einstein’s Dreams tackles "big questions like the origin of the universe and the nature of consciousness ... in an entertaining and easily digestible way” (Wall Street Journal) with a collection of meditative essays on the possibilities—and impossibilities—of nothingness and infinity, and how our place in the cosmos falls somewhere in between. Can space be divided into smaller and smaller units, ad infinitum? Does space extend to larger and larger regions, on and on to infinity? Is consciousness reducible to the material brain and its neurons? What was the origin of life, and can biologists create life from scratch in the lab? Physicist and novelist Alan Lightman, whom The Washington Post has called “the poet laureate of science writers,” explores these questions and more—from the anatomy of a smile to the capriciousness of memory to the specialness of life in the universe to what came before the Big Bang. Probable Impossibilities is a deeply engaged consideration of what we know of the universe, of life and the mind, and of things vastly larger and smaller than ourselves.

Book Description
Is there a reason for being? Why are we so often fearful? How can we know our Destiny? What is the cure for racism and hate? Is there such a thing as a "Happy Place" to be found in our lives? What is Life and am I giving it my best? When it is said that "I will give you beauty for your ashes," what does that mean exactly? And if I were a dog, what kind of dog would I be? These are questions that we all have and wonder about, yes? Ok, perhaps not that last one reflected here. But we humans do wonder, ponder and muse. It is in us to do so. And contained within these pages are some thoughts and ideas on these questions and more, along with perhaps even some answers to things that we think upon. Come walk with me a bit down this Road of Thought and let us see what lies along the way of Contemplation and Discovery. I will see you inside, my good friend!
