Miley Cyrus, Brangelina, Oprah Winfrey, and Dalai Lama Joins The List of 100 Most Influential People
Many Hollywood celebrities join the list of this year's 100 Most Influential People, the 5th annual release by Time Magazine. This time, it includes the 15-year old Miley Cyrus who has been the subject of many gossips from her Vanity Fair pictorial, where she appeared backless and wearing only bed sheet to cover her body.
The power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie also make it to the list. But not just on the list of artists and entertainers. Brangelina top the list of Heroes and Pioneers as they are recognized for many charity works which have inspired many celebrities to serve their own charities and humanitarian campaigns.
Tailing them on the list is the most influential talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, whose high profile best served her Oprah's Angel Network, the organization that has built 200 homes for Habitat for Humanity and sent 150 students to college.
Joining Miley Cyrus on the list of most influential artists and entertainers are drug-survivor Iron Man's Robert Downer Jr., music icon Mariah Carey, and Hollywood A-list George Clooney.

Woot woot Mariah Carey! :)
Cool post-- glad to see Miley Cyrus made it, I love her. I also really admire Indra Nooyi--she has accomplished a lot at Pepsi. Here's a video of her speech at Davos if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbTPgIJAFHI
I recommend Amazon as the place to get Jill Bolte Taylor's book MY STROKE OF INSIGHT because they have a wonderful interview with her on Amazon that offers new content I haven't seen anywhere else - that link is: http://www.amazon.com/My-Stroke-Insight-Scientists-Personal/dp/0670020745/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211471755&sr=1-2
The book is an absolutely wonderful journey by a brain scientist who suffered a stroke. She recovered fully, back to teaching at Medical School no less (and she gives great tips on how and what to do to recover from a Stroke or help others recover).
Dr Taylor also learned to fully be present in the part of the brain/mind where we experience full inner peace and Nirvana. SHe teaches that too, and that's why everyone should read this book.
This story is as inspiring as The Last Lecture or Tuesdays with Morrie - and it has a Happy Ending!
I read "My Stroke of Insight" in one sitting - I couldn't put it down. I laughed. I cried. It was a fantastic book (I heard it's a NYTimes Bestseller and I can see why!), but I also think it will be the start of a new, transformative Movement! No one wants to have a stroke as Jill Bolte Taylor did, but her experience can teach us all how to live better lives. Her TED.com speech was one of the most incredibly moving, stimulating, wonderful videos I've ever seen. Her Oprah Soul Series interviews were fascinating. They should make a movie of her life so everyone sees it. This is the Real Deal and gives me hope for humanity.
