January 12, 2022 15:00 - 24 minutes - 34 MB

*According to Dr Cal Newport, the secret to high productivity is simply having three or four hours of uninterrupted, focused work every day, five days a week.  *In this time, you can produce important work and still have plenty of time for family, hobbies, or just doing nothing.  *Sounds simple? The key is deep work, a term coined by Newport to describe bouts of intense work, undistracted by social media updates or internet browsing.  *With this focus, you can not only achieve a great dea...

December 01, 2021 15:00 - 28 minutes - 38.9 MB

*Bad Blood tells the compelling story of Theranos, the biotech start-up dreamed up by Elizabeth Holmes with ambitions to revolutionize blood testing and diagnosis.  *Despite drumming up millions of dollars in investment from high-profile figures such as Rupert Murdoch and Tim Draper, fostering strong links with the Clintons and wooing the press, the company was built on a lie.  *The technology simply didn’t work, and Holmes had everyone fooled.

November 17, 2021 15:00 - 25 minutes - 34.5 MB

*Every new invention or discovery since we learned to ignite fire and make the wheel changes how we live.  *Perhaps on the surface Facebook and the iPhone aren’t as momentous or paradigm-shifting as Newton discovering gravity, or Alexander Fleming discovering penicillin, but the impact of these two advances in technology and communication on society is seismic.  *In fact, for PayPal founder and legendary investor and entrepreneur Peter Thiel, these feats of technology are minor miracles.  ...

October 06, 2021 14:00 - 25 minutes - 35.7 MB

*A culture in which so many people believe they are not enough – not successful enough, thin enough, powerful enough, smart enough, extraordinary enough, or certain enough – is a “culture of scarcity”, Brown writes in Daring Greatly.  *Preoccupied by what society perceives to be deficiencies, we find it a challenge to say “I am worthy.”  And we find it difficult to take risks, social, emotional, and professional.  *Yet accepting our vulnerability and viewing it as a strength – learning to ...

August 25, 2021 14:00 - 31 minutes - 43 MB

* Upending the received self-help wisdom that success is founded on setting and accomplishing your goals, James Clear focuses instead on the power of minuscule habits to transform your life.  * Goals may be useful tools for identifying a destination to work towards, but systems of behavior – or habits – are the vehicles that get you to where you want to go.  * Minor changes brought on by focusing on systems of habit will cause gradual improvements that are unnoticeable from day to day, but...

* By focusing on the present moment as our route to consciousness we can free ourselves from the stress, fear and anxiety that are created by our mind. * Suffering is identification with Mind.

Detox Your Digital Life: Book Insights on Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport

July 28, 2021 14:00 - 30 minutes - 41.5 MB

* At first, the idea of becoming a ‘digital minimalist’ might sound extreme. Yet popular blogger Newport says this reasoning has it backwards. * Long hours spent on social media, staring at a phone during dates and family reunions, or texting while driving – these are abnormal, extreme behaviors. People just normally don’t see them this way, because they’ve become so common. * We have to rethink our relationships with digital devices. Newport introduces the theoretical principles behind di...

July 14, 2021 14:00 - 21 minutes - 30 MB

* Ten years in the writing, published in 1776 and still considered a cornerstone of economic thought, The Wealth of Nations provides a recipe for national prosperity that has not been bettered since.

Find Your 1 Thing: Book Insights on The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan

June 16, 2021 14:00 - 26 minutes - 36.6 MB

* The One Thing is a deceptively simple title – this is not just another “how I did it” business autobiography, but a theory of success supported by academic studies that can be applied to both work and home life.  * Though the book’s focus is simplicity itself – the power of focus –  it makes many points that are far from obvious, and exposes quite a few myths that are likely to have held you back from success.  * When you consider people who achieve great things, their success often invo...

June 02, 2021 14:00 - 27 minutes - 38 MB

* Carol Dweck's Mindset: The New Psychology of Success is a very influential book in the field of social psychology.  * It contrasts the ‘fixed’ mindset with the ‘growth’ mindset. With a growth mindset, we see our natural traits or abilities simply as a starting point, and through experience, effort and learning move towards what we want to do or be.  * Our IQ or personality form part of our potential only, rather than restricting us. Life is about the excitement of wondering how far we ca...

May 05, 2021 14:00 - 31 minutes - 43.3 MB

* When Michael Gerber’s The E-Myth was first published in 1986, the internet was but a glimmer in the eye of Tim Berners-Lee.  * The revised version, The E-Myth Revisited, may have come out in the 21st century, just, but 2001 was still too early for the text to contain any mention of internet pioneers like Mark Zuckerberg or wildly successful YouTubers.  * Nevertheless, this business classic has much to offer entrepreneurs, whether digital revolutionaries or brick-and-mortar store owners. ...
