,1,Nel romanzo di Tolstoj sono combinati argomenti vasti, dalla gioventù alla vecchiaia, con continui riferimenti storici, e perfino uno sguardo metafisico, un romanzo che infrangeva convenzioni e regole. Nel mondo ideale dell’ospitalità di Michil Costa trovano posto Odisseo e Goethe, il becero turismo e l’ospitalità più alta. Albergatore e uomo di natura ladino, assieme alla Sua famiglia gestisce, seguendo i principi dell’Economia del Bene Comune, a Corvara l’hotel La Perla -membro di The Leading Hotels of the World - e il Berghotel Ladinia, a Bagno Vignoni, in Val d’Orcia, l’Albergo Posta Marcucci. È presidente della “Maratona dles Dolomites”, la granfondo che ogni anno entusiasma con oltre 30.000 richieste per 8.000 partecipanti. Ma l’impegno di Michil va ben oltre: continua a spendersi per più consapevolezza imprenditoriale in termini di solidarietà sociale e di salvaguardia dell’ambiente, per meno moto sui passi delle Dolomiti e più silenzio, per più coscienza e meno scempi. Nel 2007 ha fondato con la Sua famiglia la Costa Family Foundation che promuove progetti di sviluppo per donne e bambini in Africa, Asia e Sud America.

,1,Each time we achieve success, we also envision and hunger for a potential that we never knew existed. It’s amazing, it’s exciting, it’s energizing; it’s wonderful. But it’s also anxiety-provoking, identity-shaking, and exhausting; it’s hell. Based on a two decade career in executive search interviewing thousands of the most successful people in the world, Laura Gassner Otting explains why success doesn’t bring happiness, and how to take advantage of the “wonderhell” that it presents instead.
Laura Gassner Otting has spent 25 years studying leaders and stewarding them through massive moments of career and life shift, whether as a political appointee in Bill Clinton’s White House, the founder and president of an international executive search firm, or in her current role as an author and keynote speaker. Her last book “Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life” was a Washington Post bestseller and was named by Robin Roberts as one of Good Morning America’s Favorite Books of the Year. She is a regular contributor to The TODAY Show, Good Morning America, and Harvard Business Review.
