Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google are the four most influential companies on the planet. Just about everyone thinks they know how they got there. Just about everyone is wrong. For all that's been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway. Instead of buying the myths these companies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions.

Good Example of Smart Person with Weak Logic
Revisado: 03-02-18
Galloway's philosophy is: Unsuccessful Company = Stupid. Successful Company = Evil. Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon = Evil. The New York Times = Stupid. Power corrupts unless it's powerful governments, which are benevolent, even when they are guilty of invasion of privacy and other crimes that make The Four evil.

Instead of being merely the receiver of the parents' psychological and spiritual legacy, children function as ushers of the parents' development. Parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional shallowness. To handle the behavior that results, traditional books on parenting abound with clever techniques for control and quick fixes for dysfunction. In Dr. Shefali Tsabary's conscious approach to parenting, however, children serve as mirrors of their parents' forgotten self.

This book changed the way I see parenting. I usually bookmark to take notes, but this book is so packed with useful information that I want to be sure to reference that I took a lot of notes. Dr. Tsabary is a wealth of knowledge. I first learned from her in a Lewis Howes podcast, which was worth listening to more than once.

Strange
Revisado: 06-02-17
Starts off strong. Inspiring woman. Impressive career. But somewhere along the way you realize this is actually an autobiography in the third person. By the end it becomes brutal Trump-age self aggrandizement. The author offers no additional insight or counterpoint to Lansing's views.

From the time we learn to speak, we're told that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. When you become a manager, it’s your job to say it--and your obligation. Author Kim Scott was an executive at Google and then at Apple, where she developed a class on how to be a good boss. She has earned growing fame in recent years with her vital new approach to effective management, Radical Candor. Radical Candor is a simple idea: to be a good boss, you have to Care Personally at the same time that you Challenge Directly.

I appreciate his passion for the environment, but it does come if a bit as a commercial. I was hoping for a deeper look at the story of the company.

A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty's The Sellout showcases a comic genius at the top of his game. It challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality: the black Chinese restaurant.

Original and Thoughtful but not Compelling
Revisado: 04-07-17
The strength is the prose which is borderline poetry. The story itself lacks a compelling center. That is partly because the author is wading into less-traveled territory. The style works to a degree but also keeps us at a distance from the characters. The author's storytelling skill is the biggest weakness which is why it is not riveting. Overall it is good enough to appreciate the points that make us think about our society and ourselves, but it fails to make us connect to the people. The author shows promise and would do well to hone his playwrighting to balance out his skills.

Continuous improvement, understanding complex systems, and promoting innovation are all part of the landscape of learning challenges today's companies face. Amy Edmondson shows that organizations thrive, or fail to thrive, based on how well the small groups within those organizations work. In most organizations, the work that produces value for customers is carried out by teams, and increasingly, by flexible team-like entities.

No Breakthrough Here
Revisado: 03-10-17
A reductionist approach to systems thinking just doesn't work. Pretty much all of the ideas in the book are spot on, but they are not necessarily new or presented in a new way. The stilted prose is too clinical to really allow you to connect to the material on an emotional level. The Storytelling of the author was too emotionally distant to really be compelling.

Nothing "goes viral". If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today's crowded media environment, you're missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history - of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like.

In Social, renowned psychologist Matthew Lieberman explores groundbreaking research in social neuroscience, revealing that our need to connect with other people is even more fundamental, more basic, than our need for food or shelter. Because of this, our brain uses its spare time to learn about the social world-other people and our relation to them.

We all want to experience pleasure and avoid pain. But there are really two kinds of pleasure and pain that motivate everything we do. If you are promotion-focused, you want to advance and avoid missed opportunities. If you are prevention-focused, you want to minimize losses and keep things working. And as Tory Higgins has found in his groundbreaking research, if you understand how people focus, you have the power to motivate yourself and everyone around you.

Pain / Pleasure
Revisado: 02-13-17
What would have made Focus better?
The Promotion Prevention framework is based on Pain / Pleasure motivators. That helps understand lizards, but mammals have a lot more going on. Primates have even more, and humans have a lot more. Also, the authors said that people can be high in both Promotion and Prevention, and then during most of the book they speak about people as being one or the other. Also, the categorization of Promotion People vs. Prevention People data is based on self-assessments, and I challenge the validity of that method. If we separate the delivery (narration) from the content (narrative), the authors could choose more powerful stories to illustrate points, and they need to tell those stories in more powerful ways. This is a skill, and like all skills needs practice. I suggest the authors practice the skill of telling stories in riveting ways.
Would you ever listen to anything by Heidi Grant Halvorson Ph.D. and E. Tory Higgins Ph.D. again?
No.
