Story
In 1919, far-flung patriots establish the Korean Provisional Government to protest the Japanese occupation of their country. This government-in-exile proves mostly symbolic, though, and after Japan’s defeat in World War II, the KPG dissolves and civil war erupts, resulting in the tragic North-South split that remains today.

Story
Something new entered our world in November 2022—the first general purpose AI that could pass for a human and do the kinds of creative, innovative work that only humans could do previously. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick immediately understood what ChatGPT meant: after millions of years on our own, humans had developed a kind of co-intelligence that could augment, or even replace, human thinking. Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, Mollick has become one of the most prominent and provocative explainers of AI.

Despite gold medals, WNBA championships, and a list of accolades, A’ja Wilson knows how it feels to be swept under the rug—to not be heard, to not feel seen, to not be taken seriously. As a fourth grader going to a primarily white school in South Carolina, A’ja was told she’d have to stay outside for a classmate’s birthday party. Wilson tells stories like this, about how even when life tried to hold her down, it didn’t stop her. She shares her contribution to “The Talk,” and how to keep fighting, all while igniting strength, passion, and joy.

Story
We used to think of failure as the opposite of success. Now, we’re often torn between two “failure cultures”: one that says to avoid failure at all costs, the other that says fail fast, fail often. The trouble is that both approaches lack the crucial distinctions to help us separate good failure from bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well. After decades of award-winning research, Amy Edmondson is here to upend our understanding of failure and make it work for us. In Right Kind of Wrong, Edmondson provides the framework to think, discuss, and practice failure wisely.

Publisher's summary
Embrace your agency, lead change, and fly free—in the business of life and the life of business—with kindness (plus a little math), featuring an original music score exclusive to the audio edition.
In kindergarten, James Rhee received a toy red helicopter in gratitude for a simple act of generosity—sharing his lunch. Decades later, the lesson from that small gift led him to develop a human-centered framework for business and personal achievement that helped him overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles and find unprecedented success.
“red helicopter is a transformative experience. James Rhee's story is a must read for anyone, of any age, who wishes to think, act, and lead with balance, agility, and wisdom.” —Jay Shetty
Rhee was a high school teacher turned private equity investor when he unexpectedly took the helm of Ashley Stewart, an iconic company predominantly employing and serving Black women. Inspired by the values his dying Korean immigrant parents instilled in him, he knew that a radically different—yet familiar—approach was required to lead this twice-bankrupt company from certain liquidation to true transcendence.
Is it possible to be successful and kind? To lead with precision and compassion? To honor who we are in all areas of our lives?
The entire world bet against him and Ashley, but Rhee trusted his instincts to identify, measure, and leverage the intangible goodwill at the company’s core, a decision which ultimately multiplied its fortunes several times over.
Anyone can combine the clarity and imagination we had as children with fundamental business metrics. Anyone can apply this refreshingly intuitive approach to lead change at work and at home.
While eloquently sharing a story of personal and professional success, red helicopter presents a comforting yet bold solution to the dissatisfaction and worry we all feel in a chaotic and sometimes terrifying world.
The insights and knowledge that Rhee imparts have been accumulated over decades of investing and leading at the highest levels of business. Drawing on this experience, he encourages us to trust the wisdom deep inside each of us so we can learn how to:
- Create and measure “goodwill,” the ultimate collective good
- Discover agency and the truth about kindness it entails
- Identify the invisible obstacles standing in your way
- Lead transformational change through small, scalable acts
- Construct an accurate “balance sheet” of our assets and liabilities
- Reorient our lives, organizations, and the world to reflect the best in us
Are you looking for a sustainable balance between life, money, and joy? For yourself and others?
Imagine, a clear path forward told as a deeply felt human story. A poignant and uplifting celebration of humanity, red helicopter—a parable for our times is tale of struggle and triumph, compelling for its honesty and relatability as much as for the instructions we can all use to balance the books of our lives.
Original musical score “Arirang Amazing Grace for a Red Helicopter” arranged for the audiobook. Inspired by James Rhee and arranged by Chad Cannon. Performance features Grace Kelly on saxophone, Joo Lee on cello, and Kyle Gilner on violin. Copyright owned by JCR Holdings, LLC.

Jim VandeHei’s high school guidance counselor laid it out clearly: VandeHei wasn’t cut out for college. In 1990, you could find him proving the counselor’s case emphatically, preferring beer to books and delivering pizzas to mapping out career plans. He attended a two-year school before smuggling himself into the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where after a year he had racked up a 1.4 GPA and was on the verge of getting the boot.

Story
What is “being geeky?” It’s being a perennially curious person, one who's not afraid to tackle hard problems and embrace unconventional solutions. McAfee shows how the geeks have created a new culture based around four norms: science, ownership, speed, and openness. The geek way seems odd at first. It's not deferential to experts, fond of planning and process, afraid of mistakes, or obsessed with "winning." But it explains everything from why Montessori babies turn out to be creative tinkerers to how newcomers are disrupting industry after industry (and still just getting started).

A book literally everyone should read
One of the best books of the year! There’s something for everyone in its pages. It’s the kind of book that lingers in your mind long after you’ve read it because it’s just that good.
It’s a rollercoaster of emotions - you will feel the ache of loss, the sting of injustice, the anxiety of trying to save a business on life support - but it will end with a shared triumph. Kindness can create magical outcomes.
Read it. You won’t regret it.

Profound
One of the best books I have ever listened to! Packed with personal experiences, lessons, and new insights, it's like an autobiography and a self-improvement book in one. The writing makes you attached to the characters and leaves you feeling wiser at the same time. I teared up at many points and felt genuinely sad when it was over, not knowing what I would listen to during my commute. Highly recommend!

Wonderfully told lessons for business and life
The layered storytelling, and multifaceted lessons, are a fractal of the experience and life that James Rhee closet expresses in this book.
The author and this book makes one want to listen more closely, think more deeply, and apply life lessons in all facets of work and personal life.
Thank you. .
