Historia
With so many excellent writing guides lining bookstore shelves, it can be hard to know where to look for the best advice. Should you go with Natalie Goldberg or Anne Lamott? Maybe William Zinsser or Stephen King would be more appropriate. Then again, what about the classics - Strunk and White, or even Aristotle himself? In Murder Your Darlings, Roy Peter Clark, who has been a beloved and revered writing teacher to children and Pulitzer Prize winners alike for more than 30 years, has compiled a remarkable collection of more than 100 of the best writing tips.

fantastic work
Revisado: 09-25-21
fantastic work for which it is easy to follow up because he gives so many references where you can find fantastic instructions and writing. his overview of these works does not show all of the unique insights that he provides which are fantastic. I am so glad I picked this one up. (this was all voice to text and Amazon does not seem to capitalize in this app.)

Historia
Sell books the smart way. Five years ago releasing a book as an indie author meant uploading it, then begging everyone you knew to buy it. That method simply doesn't work anymore. Fortunately, there's a better way. Amazon has spent billions of dollars over the last decade building the world's best sales engine. They use machine learning to sell massive piles of books, and that engine is just waiting for you to tap into it. This is the book that will teach you how.

Historia
According to polls conducted by Gallup and the Pew Research Forum on Religion & Public Life, the majority of Americans fail basic tests about religion, including tests on their own faith. This is troublesome because religious literacy is about so much more than naming deities or knowing the stories of ancient history. For many of us, religion is a way to examine and understand ourselves. These 24 enlightening lectures offer you the chance to experience the world's religions from all angles – historical, theological, and cultural.

Historia
Gwen Proctor escaped her serial-killer husband and saved her family. What she can’t seem to outrun is his notoriety. Or the sick internet vigilantes still seeking to avenge his crimes. For Gwen, hiding isn’t an option. Not when her only mission is to create a normal life for her kids. But now, a threatened woman has reached out. Marlene Crockett, from the remote town of Wolfhunter, is panicked for herself and her daughter. When Gwen arrives in the small, isolated rural community, Marlene is already dead - her own daughter blamed for the murder.

very entertaining story and very nice continuation
Revisado: 03-13-21
this is very entertaining story and was a great continuation from the first two books. this writer is skilled about putting in a great story and not relying on cheap ways of entertainment. It has components of a thriller and suspense with well intertwined components. some of the twists were nice. It was a solid story

Historia
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

this was just fantastic.
Revisado: 08-08-17
I greatly appreciated this book. the presentation was refreshing and the content solidly grounded in a lot of cognitive research I have read. If you are insulted by what you might consider to be foul language, then you may not like it. This was not important to me and thus gave me the license to fully enjoy and benefit from Mark's great insights and the unique and insightful way it was delivered. I am a better person because I listen to it. Deep thanks to you Mark.

Historia
Technology is advancing faster than ever - but for better or for worse? On the one hand, astonishing technological developments from personalized genomics to self-driving cars to drones to artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, these very same technologies could raise the specter of a frightening and alienating future - eugenics, a jobless economy, complete loss of privacy, and an ever-worsening spiral of economic inequality.

Great read of emerging directions.
Revisado: 05-03-17
What made the experience of listening to The Driver in the Driverless Car the most enjoyable?
Not just trends, but tying them together, and the look at them from multiple facets (ethics, relation to other trends, impact to different classes, our possible reactions, which are started now, and much more).
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Driver in the Driverless Car?
For me the most memorable piece was scattered throughout... the assessment of the TRANSITION from now (when everyone is expected to have a job) to later (when many will not have the traditional form of a job). This is an inescapable and difficult time. I spent time processing some helpful thoughts from Vivek around this in particular.
What about Julie Eickhoff’s performance did you like?
She was very clear and easy to understand. I could absorb the material quickly.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The future is great; The transition is unprecedented upheaval.
Any additional comments?
The authors gave a lot of food for thought. We need to reassess some of our most deeply held beliefs, norms, and social expectations.

Historia
David Marquet, an experienced Navy officer, was used to giving orders. Marquet acted like any other captain until, one day, he unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. Marquet realized he was leading in a culture of followers, and they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things. Struggling against his own instincts to take control, he instead achieved the vastly more powerful model of giving control.

Amazing, overlaps with lean, agile & leadership
Revisado: 02-19-17
this is how you get rid of the illusion of control while reading your organization to higher performance. I cannot recommend this enough. this book shows you techniques to use to make work fun, accountable, and highly effective. if you cannot give up control and cannot trust people with whom you work, you will not like this. But if you can, these techniques will be among the best you have ever learned.

Historia
What makes one novel a bestseller, while a similar work languishes unnoticed? Why are the same few baby names suddenly everywhere? Why is everyone talking about that viral video? Welcome to the science of social epidemics: the cutting-edge study of why some ideas, products, and concepts spread wildly, while others quickly flame out. Anyone who has something to sell, a cause to promote, or a message to spread knows that there are obstacles in creating a message that resonates, spreads, and sticks to make their product or idea the word on the street. Enormous sums of time and money have been spent trying to answer the question of why some ideas catch on. And not only is it an ever-present challenge for businesses, governments, and organizations, but it has long been a source of inquiry for psychologists, economists, and sociologists as well.
