In 1941, Henry Miller, the author of Tropic of Cancer, was commissioned by a Los Angeles bookseller to write an erotic novel for a dollar a page. Under the Roofs of Paris (originally published as Opus Pistorum) is that book. Here one finds Miller's characteristic candor, wit, self-mockery, and celebration of the good life. From Marcelle to Tania, to Alexandra, to Anna, and from the Left Bank to Pigalle, Miller sweeps us up in his odyssey in search of the perfect job, the perfect woman, and the perfect experience.

Does success follow simple rules? It is hard to believe success in any one endeavor follows the same pattern as success in any other endeavor. But that is the hypothesis The Endeavor Paradigm sets out to develop and prove. Using six simple terms, turned into six questions, inverted into six precepts and glued together with one critical key, The Endeavor Paradigm emerges as the pattern for success in any type of undertaking.
Starting with a simple premise, but moving through ever more complexities, The Endeavor Paradigm illustrates the assertion that running anything reasonably well is actually pretty good.
The Endeavor Paradigm can be used to initiate an endeavor, or to sharpen the effectiveness or efficiency of an endeavor, or to locate the source of one or more troublesome problems plaguing an endeavor. But the solutions to these actions always come back to applying The Endeavor Paradigm properly.
Along the way The Endeavor Paradigm identifies multiple "ah-ha's" and insights that can help any endeavor to run reasonably well.
