Both Perlman's performance and the story were fascinating from beginning to end. I finished it in two days as I couldn't wait to hear what happens next

From George Washington's reluctant oath-taking through George W. Bush's leadership challenges after September 11, 2001, we view ambitious and fallible men through the new lens of the 21st century.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 150,110
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.

The perfect book for this era. An honest, rational and unflinching examination of the horrific lack of priorities in our current culture.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,704
The new question: Ten years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? In Great by Choice, Collins and his colleague, Morten T. Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times. The new study: Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins’s prior work by its focus on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.

A Great Business Read
Reviewed: 01-25-17
Not as groundbreaking as Good to Great but finds different angles to what makes the most successful businesses. Is a little more bullet-point friendly than their previous books, too.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 88
The reason human beings are the dominant animal on this planet is nothing to do with their strength or ability to fight. An elephant is stronger, a cheetah is faster but mankind's ability to communicate is second to none and the true secret to our success. We all have this 'god like' ability to communicate precisely what we want but some are more equal than others. It is no coincidence that the world's top salesmen, politicians and hypnotists all use very similar language.
