Are you getting a true picture of your company’s performance? The disturbing answer, for most senior managers and CFOs today, is no. The culprit? Current management accounting practices produce financial statements that are unnecessarily complex and confusing. As a result, most companies are run by executives who do not fully understand their own financial information. This explosive issue and its implications are fully explored in Real Numbers.

They need a new edition of this. I felt like many of the suggestions and example are things most companies did a long time ago.

Based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue unlocks the secrets to what makes some marriages red hot while others fizzle out. Generations of women have grown up with messages about sex that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been sold such a cheapened version of sex, they don't know what they're missing. The Great Sex Rescue hopes to turn all of that around, developing a truly biblical view of sex where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign.

A must read for any Christian - married or not
Reviewed: 09-10-21
I now know what advice I'm going to give when people ask for "advice for the new couple" - read this book together! Well written and engaging. I haven't read most of the books they discussed (thank goodness) but have still been exposed to most of the same themes and ideas in them. The example passages they call out from books are often shocking and even literally nauseating. Even with being in a great marriage with wonderful intimacy, the book made me look at and let go of emotional baggage I wasn't even fully aware I had. I also feel like I have a better understanding of the pain and struggles other women are possibly dealing with. I fully respect the amount of work and dedication the authors took to survey 20,000 women in order to draw their insights. Whether you are sexually active or not, married or not, a man or a woman, you should read this book if you are looking for a better relationship with the opposite sex and before offering relationship or sex advice to others.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 55,858
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

A thoughtful blend of story and study on the poor in America and what could help them. J.D.'s style is engaging and personal. I enjoyed it and my assumptions were challenged by it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,916
Goodwin describes the broken friendship between Teddy Roosevelt and his chosen successor, William Howard Taft. With the help of the "muckraking" press, Roosevelt had wielded the Bully Pulpit to challenge and triumph over abusive monopolies, political bosses, and corrupting money brokers. Roosevelt led a revolution that he bequeathed to Taft only to see it compromised as Taft surrendered to money men and big business. The rupture led Roosevelt to run against Taft for president, an ultimately futile race that gave power away to the Democrats.

It is long, but you will enjoy every hour of it. It was great review of history and you will learn quite a bit but it flows nicely together as a story.

Surprisingly good mix of The Hatchet and Sci Fi

I was a little skeptical, and it got off to a slow start in my opinion, but I was hooked by the end. The book takes you through fantastic new landscapes as a boy fights to survive alone in an alien planet and figure out how to get home. I'll be getting the next book in the series.

Soon he joins the wizard’s band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all.

Meets it's high reputation, very enjoyable
Reviewed: 12-31-18
I long ago read The Lord of the Rings trilogy but somehow never got around to The Hobbit. I may have enjoyed it more if only because it is a shorter adventure. The pace is fast and the writing fully engages the reader in the details of the story.
The audio production of the book was very well done with different voices used for each character.
