    Nothing could excite an adventurous business person more than participating in the largest leveraged buyout (LBO) in history and becoming a billionaire along the way.  
    In Barbarians at the Gate (1989), Bryan Burrough and John Helyar narrate the chaotic battles that ensued after news broke that food and tobacco giant RJR Nabisco was seeking an LBO as a solution for the drop in stock prices caused in part by CEO Ross Johnson’s restlessness and gravitation towards extreme actions and risks. What followed was a sequence of shocking surprises and interferences. The end result was the biggest deal done to date, although it wasn’t Johnson who harvested its glory.

    Who was the mysterious man called Neville? 
    In this concise work, PEN Award-winning author and historian Mitch Horowitz explores one of the most radical, finely developed, and intriguing intellects in modern metaphysics: Neville Goddard (1905-1972). 
    Neville issued the ultimate challenge: your imagination is God. He had an ethic of empowering self-responsibility and boundless mental creativity. 
    Neville's ideas are compelling and beautifully congruent with quantum physics and scholarly psychical research. As Mitch describes, Neville is modern mysticism's most penetrating voice. 
    In Magician of the Beautiful, Mitch explores the mystic's background, shows how to put how to put his ideas into action, and considers Neville's mysterious teacher Abdullah.

    Continuing his groundbreaking analysis of economic structures, Douglass North develops an analytical framework for explaining the ways in which institutions and institutional change affect the performance of economies.Institutions exist due to the uncertainties involved in human interaction; they are the constraints devised to structure that interaction. Yet, institutions vary widely in their consequences for economic performance; some economies develop institutions that produce growth and development, while others develop institutions that produce stagnation.North first explores the nature of institutions and explains the role of transaction and production costs in their development. The second part of the book deals with institutional change. Institutions create the incentive structure in an economy, and organizations will be created to take advantage of the opportunities provided within a given institutional framework. North argues that the kinds of skills and knowledge fostered by the structure of an economy will shape the direction of change and gradually alter the institutional framework. He then explains how institutional development may lead to a path-dependent pattern of development. In the final part of the book, North explains the implications of this analysis for economic theory and economic history.

    If you’re the same way, then you’ve happened upon the right book. In this brief nonfiction work, I’ll cover how to write clean yet scintillating romance in ways you may not have considered. I’ll share: 
    • The best piece of editorial advice I ever received (when my first publisher bought my first book from my first agent) 
    • A method I like to call action versus reaction 
    • How to escalate a kissing scene 
    • How to use rhetorical devices and setting to heighten heat

    What can we learn from the events of the 20th century? David Halberstam set out to answer that question in this perceptive and eye-opening work which examines the past in order to determine the future. From the rise of the Japanese economy to the startling changes that reshaped the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Halberstam argues that the American economy's survival depends on the rededication and continued education of the American worker. As pertinent in today's economy as it was when first published, The Next Century is a timeless call to arms, reminding us that we must continually better ourselves in order to compete on the world stage.

    Business Leader to Patty in 2003: "What do you do?"  
    Patty: "I’m a coach."  
    Business Leader: "Cool! What sport?" 
    This conversation used to happen all the time. But in the years since, more and more business leaders have experienced executive coaching, which has become a thing. A valuable and professional thing. 
    Now the question business leaders regularly ask Patty is, "How do I learn to do what you do?"  
    That’s why in 2008, Patty Burgin launched the SeattleCoach Professional Training and Development Program, hosting hundreds of entrepreneurs, executives, and organizational leaders as they’ve learned to "do the craft and be the coach."  
    Today, when you search "SeattleCoach" you get Pete Carroll, Coach of the Seahawks. And you get Patty.  
    The Essential Coaching Leader is her introduction to a way of leading that finds its evidence and examples in neuroscience, in 21st-century business effectiveness, in history, and even in good theology. It is a way of leading that is both ancient and new.  
    The five essentials found in The Essential Coaching Leader will help you explore and begin to practice coaching leadership in this time of relentless and historic change.
