Historia
New York Times best-selling author Dan Heath examines how to prevent problems before they happen, drawing on insights from his innovative behavior research, as well as hundreds of new interviews with unconventional problem solvers. Most of us spend our days handling a deluge of pressing issues. We’re so accustomed to managing emergencies as they strike that we often don’t stop to think about how we could prevent crises before they happen. Why stop at treating the symptoms when you could develop a cure?

Historia
In this timely manifesto, the authors of the New York Times best-seller Rework broadly reject the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today.

Great for people wanting calm success
Revisado: 11-06-18
Who want success without the struggle? You? Then I recommend this book. The authors success is proof that I can trust these seemingly simple but wonderfully powerful ideas.
Love the narration, too.

Historia
Big companies spend a fortune marketing their wares and services. Can yours? Invariably people ask advertising veteran and CBC Radio host Terry O'Reilly one question more than any other: How does a little business compete with the big guys? After decades at the helm of an award-winning advertising production company, and over a decade exploring the art and science of marketing for CBC Radio, O'Reilly delivers all the answers they - and anyone with something to sell - ever wanted to know.

Terry gets it and helps you get it. Such a good way to show us what's important in marketing, how to be, and what to do, really.

Historia
In The Surrender Experiment, Michael A. Singer tells the extraordinary story of what happened when, after a deep spiritual awakening, he decided to relinquish his personal fears and desires and simply let life unfold before him. Singer shares how this pivotal decision to embrace the flow of life led him to extraordinary success, sustained him through times of crisis, and allowed him to cultivate profound inner peace—whether as a young man pursuing a life of solitude in the woods, the founder of a thriving spiritual community in Florida, or the CEO of a billion-dollar medical software company.

Wonderful story. Don't read it/listen to it if you think you already have life, the universe, and everything figured out.

Historia
What makes a successful business? How can we work most effectively as a team? What are the keys to being a great leader? Best-selling authors Daniel Goleman and Peter Senge address these questions in Working with Presence. From the importance of harmonized thinking to the role that tacit knowledge plays in every organization, they discuss how companies can transform themselves into learning organizations.

Don't bother. Self indulgent chatter.
- De Darren en 12-22-14
Great insight; unstructured.
Revisado: 12-21-16
Still relevant after nearly a decade. Valuable insights from leading leadership experts. It's a wandering conversation/interview, not a structured class. I find the best way to approach this content is to 1) commit to listen to it at least twice and 2) listen for the nuggets most useful to you.

Historia
Every day brings us a crushing wave of demands: a barrage of texts, emails, interruptions, meetings, phone calls, tweets, blogs - not to mention the high pressure challenges of our jobs - that can be overwhelming and exhausting. The sheer number of distractions can threaten our ability to think clearly, make good decisions, and accomplish what matters most, leaving us worn out and unfulfilled.

Valuable content damaged by jarringly bad reading
Revisado: 11-02-16
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend my friends read the paper or e-book themselves. The content is 10-out-of-10 but the reading by the authors is painful.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite part was about how a leader can install this thinking in their organizations.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kory Kogon and Adam Merrill ?
Any professional who knows how to read so that it sounds natural and how to teach concepts from non-fiction books.
Did The 5 Choices inspire you to do anything?
Oh, yes. Despite the painful reading by the authors (and I get that my complaint about the unprofessional reading is just my opinion), I pushed through. Lots of valuable insights. The best insight: my tendency to find new, improved organizations systems can be escapist. My work is to lead myself not wait for the perfect system.
Any additional comments?
Can you re-record it? I'd buy it again to hear it read well. Can the producers find better ways to dissuade authors who shouldn't from reading their own work?

Historia
Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent of the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there were a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last?

Historia
Life is getting better at an accelerating rate. Food availability, income, and life span are up; disease, child mortality, and violence are down all across the globe. Though the world is far from perfect, necessities and luxuries alike are getting cheaper; population growth is slowing; Africa is following Asia out of poverty; the Internet, the mobile phone, and container shipping are enriching people's lives as never before.

Matt Ridley's ideas challenge conventional wisdom, yours and mine. You need not side with him on every issue but I strongly encourage you to consider the value of rational optimism as a way to solve our biggest problems.
