Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts. Audiobook: A Scholarly Analysis of Courageous Leadership – Free Download

Brought to you by Penguin.

How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?

Written and read by NYT best seller Brené Brown, Dare to Lead answers these questions and gives us actionable strategies and real examples from her new research-based, courage-building programme.

Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas and developing that potential. This is an audiobook for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead.

When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it and work to align authority and accountability. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into the vulnerability that’s necessary to do good work.

But daring leadership in a culture that’s defined by scarcity, fear and uncertainty requires building courage skills, which are uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the same time we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection and courage, to start.

Use proven financial principles to transition from working a job to passive income investments. To make the transition, there are no magic investment opportunities and no get-rich-quick schemes. Everyone must learn the basic principles of finance the wealthy apply through their accountants, lawyers, and bankers. In this book, the proven financial principles are described in easy-to-follow advice you can apply every month.

Everyone who is not born into a wealthy family is generally raised in a way that prepares them to enter the workforce and provide labor for the companies owned by the rich. They’re taught to pay attention in school, get good grades, find a job, work hard, and save a portion of their hard-earned wages for retirement. Most people wish they could escape the depressing and frustrating cycle of trading their most valuable assets – their precious and limited time on Earth and their youth – for a meager salary. But, they don’t know how to escape the cycle while they’re still young and healthy enough to make the best of being financially independent. There’s an important difference between working for money and having your money work for you.

Many people have gone from broke and in debt to being financially independent by applying straightforward proven financial principles that are available for anyone to use. You can easily join others who’ve made the right moves and gone from broke and in debt to being financially independent by using the very same proven financial principles. Don’t waste time on trendy advice that quickly fizzles out. Instead, learn timeless fundamentals that will always be relevant.

You’ll be able to start applying what you’ve learned immediately after you’ve finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.

Unreasonable Hospitality Audiobook: A Masterclass in Transformative Service – Free Download

The must-read New York Times bestseller that’s redefining hospitality and inspiring readers in every industry. 

– Featured in FX’s The Bear and Showtime’s Billions
– JP Morgan NextList Pick

Will Guidara was twenty-six when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, a struggling two-star brasserie that had never quite lived up to its majestic room. Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world.
 
How did Guidara pull off this unprecedented transformation? Radical reinvention, a true partnership between the kitchen and the dining room—and memorable, over-the-top, bespoke hospitality. Guidara’s team surprised a family who had never seen snow with a magical sledding trip to Central Park after their dinner; they filled a private dining room with sand, complete with mai-tais and beach chairs, to console a couple with a cancelled vacation. And his hospitality extended beyond those dining at the restaurant to his own team, who learned to deliver praise and criticism with intention; why the answer to some of the most pernicious business dilemmas is to give more—not less; and the magic that can happen when a busser starts thinking like an owner.
 
Today, every business can choose to be a hospitality business—and we can all transform ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences. Featuring sparkling stories of his journey through restaurants, with the industry’s most famous players like Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer, Guidara urges us all to find the magic in what we do—for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve.

Rich Dad’s Increase your Financial IQ Audiobook: A Millennial’s Money Wake-Up Call – Free Download

Many of our global economic problems started in 1971…when President Richard Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard. Throughout history, when a government went off the gold standard, an age of turbulence began.

In 1997, Robert’s book Rich Dad Poor Dad stunned readers stating, ‘Your house is not an asset.’ As howls of protest went up around the world, the book went on to become an international bestseller and the #1 personal finance book of all time.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is not a book on real estate. It is a book about the importance of financial education. Rich Dad Poor Dad was written to prepare you and your loved ones for the financial turbulence Robert’s rich dad saw coming.

In 2007, as homes declined in value or were lost to foreclosure, millions of homeowners painfully discovered the wisdom of words of Robert’s rich dad. Today we are all aware that a home can be a liability. Today we know a home can go up or down in value. Today, we all know a person can lose money investing in the stock market. Today we all know our money can go down in value and that even savers can be losers.

This is why financial intelligence is more important today than ever before. In a world of financial turbulence, your best asset is financial IQ.

Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is Shaping our Future Audiobook: A Visionary’s Journey – Free Download

Brought to you by Penguin.

A remarkable man in possession of limitless curiosity and intellect, Elon Musk makes a fascinating subject.

Tech reporter Ashlee Vance has shadowed him for a year to bring us an engaging and deeply personal account of the man who wants to send us into outer space.

South African-born Elon Musk is the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity. Musk wants to save our planet; he wants to send citizens into space, to form a colony on Mars; he wants to make money while doing these things; and he wants us all to know about it.

He is the real-life inspiration for the Iron Man series of films starring Robert Downey, Jr. The personal tale of Musk’s life comes with all the trappings one associates with a great, drama-filled story. He was a freakishly bright kid who was bullied brutally at school and abused by his father. In the midst of these rough conditions and the violence of apartheid South Africa, Musk still thrived academically and attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he paid his own way through school by turning his house into a club and throwing massive parties.

He started a pair of huge dot-com successes, including PayPal, which eBay acquired for $1.5 billion in 2002. Musk was forced out as CEO and so began his lost years, in which he decided to go it alone and baffled friends by investing his fortune in rockets and electric cars. Meanwhile Musk’s marriage disintegrated as his technological obsessions took over his life…

Elon Musk is the Steve Jobs of the present and the future, and for the past 12 months he has been shadowed by tech reporter Ashlee Vance. Elon Musk is an important, exciting and intelligent account of the real-life Iron Man.
