Review & Description

THE MILLIONAIRE'S MANUAL- 2011 updated version

IF YOU HAVE A DREAM THIS BOOK WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
Even if you are "stony broke" you can quickly trade invisible assets such as time, talent, knowledge and experience up into cash. Assets you never realised you had! This is simple and easy. Thousands of individuals who read the earler versions of this top selling Australian book have done just this! To most readers it will be brand new knowledge. It is the alternative way to wealth, freedom and happiness....starting from gound zero! No matter what you do, who you are, what your age group, or where you are in life at the moment this knowledge will unlock a far better lifestyle - a lifestyle free of worry, financial hassles and mental restrictions. The knowledge inside is for every thinking individual who is dissatisfied with their present situation. This book will show you how to achieve wealth and happiness the alternative way - the lazy way! Many self-help books are full of motivational material which makes you feel great as you read, but tend to fade into the twilight as soon as you put the book down. They give you chapter after chapter of exercises and philosophies, but when you look for the "how?" then this is sadly lacking. Not this book!  It is not only totally practical and easy to follow....but actually works! The author of this book has "walked the walk" himself! Three years from now you should be financially independent and in a position to "retire" if you wish, no matter what your present circumstances. This is probably one of the most unusual publications you will ever hold in your hands. The knowledge within is totally unique! It will totally and completely turn your life around!

Review & Description

According to the United States Small Business Administration and other research groups, close to 95 percent of business start-ups fail within the first 10 years. Despite the odds, entrepreneurs keep jumping off the cliffs of job security, expecting to find some new elixir in the sea below. Usually, only unforgiving rocks await them at the bottom. The winner's circle is an elusive 5 percent.  
 
Chicken Lips, Wheeler-Dealer and the Beady-Eyed M.B.A.: An Entrepreneur s Wild Adventures on the New Silk Road (ISBN: 978-0-470-82866-3; John Wiley & Sons (Asia) Pte Ltd) is author Frank Farwell's personal tale. It is an engaging entrepreneurial startup narrative that takes place in the transitional years of modern China, providing helpful information for anyone crazy enough to want to leave well-paid tedium for the Wild West of self-employment. This nonfiction work tells the story of a tenderfoot company and its neophyte trail boss who maneuvers his way out of hostile territory into a land of plenty.  The sequence of mishaps and recoveries gives a living lesson on how to, as well as how not to, go out on one's own.  A detailed appendix, tied in at the end of the book, gives a chapter-by-chapter analysis of what was done right - and wrong - and teaches readers to learn from the author's step-by-step journey. Result: Readers can more efficiently steer their own start-ups and maximize chances of reaching the winners' circle - and its considerable payoffs.
 
Farwell was a marginally salaried staff editor in his late twenties when he decided to leave the corporate world and strike out on his own. In the depths of a sharp recession, many friends felt he was either extremely brave, or terribly foolish. His small family lived on a shoestring while he survived ongoing foibles and failures, learned from mistakes, met an alarming range of colorful characters, and eventually found a forgotten product from China with a defined American market niche. Persistence and hard work provided striking results: His company, WinterSilks (wintersilks.com), became a three-time Inc. 500 company, and eleven years after its founding, still owning 100% of its stock, he sold it for a handsome fortune.
 
"As years have passed into decades, I've realized there were plenty of entrepreneurs who had gone solo, as I had, yet few of them knew how to share what they had learned," said Farwell. "It would be a crying shame for anyone to endure what I went through, so I figured I'd tell my tale, share a few laughs, and maybe help others' journeys to freedom become a whole lot easier."
 
This is a book that entertains and instructs; it is as much Ha-Ha as it is How-To.  It is a must-read for all budding entrepreneurs, for businesspersons dealing with China's complex retail supply chain, and for business and general-interest readers who simply enjoy a great story.

Review & Description

Devora Zack, an avowed introvert and a successful consultant who speaks to thousands of people every year, found that most networking advice books assume that to succeed you have to become an extrovert. Or at least learn how to fake it. Not at all. There is another way.

This book shatters stereotypes about people who dislike networking. They’re not shy or misanthropic. Rather, they tend to be reflective—they think before they talk. They focus intensely on a few things rather than broadly on a lot of things. And they need time alone to recharge. Because they’ve been told networking is all about small talk, big numbers and constant contact, they assume it’s not for them.

But it is! Zack politely examines and then smashes to tiny fragments the “dusty old rules” of standard networking advice. She shows how the very traits that ordinarily make people networking-averse can be harnessed to forge an approach that is just as effective as more traditional approaches, if not better. And she applies it to all kinds of situations, not just formal networking events. After all, as she says, life is just one big networking opportunity—a notion readers can now embrace.

Do you want to become CEO of your company, for personal benefit and to benefit your colleagues, customers, etc.? As suggested in our AmAre approach, start by being Aware: forget all the books and expensive seminars given by rock-star CEOs.

In most of the cases, you are just paying to listen to what the speaker thinks you want to hear; a wonderful opportunity to learn communication skills, but not a venue to learn how to become a CEO. Getting at the top is not easy, because many people aspire to the same results, and among the ones who don't, there are some who just like, or happen, to obstruct the path of others.

In this book about becoming CEO of a company, we integrated into AmAre ( www.AmAreWay.org) some of the advices provided by Jeffrey Pfeffer in his book "Power - Why some people have it, and others don't". Remember: success starts with cultivating happiness and well-being; if you think you can be happy only if you become a CEO, than think again. Start cultivating your happiness now, respect your well-being and other beings, and enjoy the journey which leads you from where you are now to become a CEO!Do you want to become CEO of your company, for personal benefit and to benefit your colleagues, customers, etc.?

Leading neuroscientist Samuel Barondes shares scientific frameworks and tools for improving your intuitions about people, and sizing them up more consciously, systematically, and successfully. He shows how to use the latest research about personality and character to get along better, choose great friends, decide whom to trust, and avoid narcissists and sociopaths.

 

Kirkus Reviews

A succinct look at personality psychology.

 

As a psychiatrist and neuroscientist at the University of California, Barondes (Molecules and Mental Illness, 2007, etc.) has spent years studying human behavior, and this book reflects his systematic, scientific approach for personality assessment. The average person isn't likely to have time to research a difficult boss or potential love interest, but the author supplements intuition with a useful cornerstone for gauging human behavior: a table of the "Big Five" personality traits, among them Extraversion vs. Introversion and Agreeableness vs. Antagonism. To learn how to apply the Big Five, Barondes supplies a link for a professional online personality test, in addition to a basic introduction of troubling personality patterns—e.g., narcissism and compulsiveness. While genetics may play a heavy hand in influencing personality, Barondes writes, it's awareness of a person's background, character and life story that is paramount in unearthing reasons for adult behavior. Readers might like to see the author weave more everyday examples into the text—his exercise in fostering compassion by imagining an adult as a 10-year-old child is a gem—but there is plenty here to ponder.

 

Those looking for traditional "self-help" advice won't find it here, but this book clearly lays the groundwork for deeper human interaction and better life relationships.

Review & Description

Lessons from America’s modern Edison—for everyone who wants to thrive in business or a creative field.

Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc., was truly one of this generation’s most innovative and forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Apple, under his vision and direction, changed the way people interact with each other and think about technology. Known as much for his genius as his privacy, the advice and knowledge he did share with the world gives exclusive insight into the most important man of the past century.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.”

“We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.”

“The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament.”

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.”

Review & Description

HTML5: Everyone’s using it, nobody knows what it is. I realize that sounds more like a line out of an existential movie — maybe Waiting for Godot or a screenplay by Sartre — than a statement about HTML5. But it’s really the truth: most of the people using HTML5 are treating it as HTML4+, or even worse, HTML4 (and some stuff they don’t use). The result? A real delay in the paradigm shift that HTML5 is almost certain to bring. It’s certainly not time to look away, because by the time you look back, you may have missed something really important: a subtle but important transition centered around HTML5.

Russell Bishop is the managing partner of Bishop & Bishop, a consulting and coaching company helping executives and managers increase alignment and improve execution across the organization. The author of Workarounds That Work, he is a weekly columnist and senior editor at the Huffington Post. Read his review of Al Pittampalli's Read This Before Our Next Meeting:

Al Pittampalli addresses a time worn challenge that all of us have experienced for which many of us are chief executioner: Death by Meeting. However, rather than simply adding to the chorus of complaints about time-sucking, energy-sapping, life force-killing meetings, Al actually proposes something useful--The Modern Meeting and its seven critical principles of effective meeting management.

The single most powerful question to ask yourself or your co-workers when faced with a challenging situation is: What difference could you make that requires no one’s permission other than your own? Al embraces this critical notion of personal responsibility in his counter-intuitive approach to getting senior management to adopt the modern meeting: you don’t have to get everyone on board--you just need to start and let your success influence others to get on board.

If you find yourself withering away in endless meetings, if your organization suffers from consensus constipation, if you can’t seem to get a decision made this century, read this book now. Wait a minute--reading this book won’t help any more than reading a prescription will get you better. Instead, apply the Seven Principles and let your creative productivity soar! --Russell Bishop
