    In Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923), Edward Bernays provides extensive explanations of the broad principles of the public relations profession. He seeks to recover the reputation of this field of study, helping readers to view it as a result of intellectual traditions. In his view, the goal of public relations is to facilitate public communications by crafting and maintaining a firm and direct simplification of complex social issues. He describes the public relations counsel as a social scientist who specializes in fully understanding the public opinion and knowing the means through which the public mind is influenced, touching on the subjects of propaganda, stereotypes, the press, and public interactions.

    Who doesn’t have goals for themselves? As human beings, we are constantly setting goals, both personal and professional, so that we can grow and improve. Sometimes, the goals are just in our heads, and sometimes we write them down and even make vision boards to inspire us and remind us of our goals everyday. I’ve had plenty of experience with many different ways of goal setting, and plenty of experience with disappointing outcomes as I fail to reach the targets I set for myself. 
    Unfortunately, the truth is that few people rarely become successful at achieving every objective they set, and even then, success might not come in a timely manner. That’s where this book is invaluable. 
    After much trial and error in my research, I’ve figured out the best program to set solid objectives and how to push myself to achieve them every time. I have learned to be the most productive person I can be, and you can do the same. 
    Work to Reach Your Goals Now By Following the Four Most Important Aspects of Success 
    In this book, you will learn to:Set realistic, solid goals, whether they are big or small, and keep them in the forefront of your mindDevelop the discipline and good habits necessary for sweet successKeep your mind focused on the outcome until it is achievedManage a high level of productivity as you work to complete multiple objectives and establish loftier goals than you ever thought possible 
    In our busy world, solid goal setting and the knowledge to accomplish the goals you set is the one change that changes everything. Don’t waste any more time trying and failing to make progress toward your objective: learn the most effective ways to achieve your goals, so that you can set more.

    Many of the most successful Web 2.0 companies, including MySpace, YouTube, eBay, and rising stars like Twitter and Flickr, are prime examples of what journalist Adam L. Penenberg calls a "viral loop"-to use the product means having to share it with others. After all, what's the sense of being on Facebook if none of your friends are? The end result is a business that spreads rapidly, scales quickly, and has the promise to create staggering wealth. In this game-changing, essential book, Penenberg-who identified the phenomenon in a ground-breaking cover story for Fast Company-tells the fascinating, vivid story of the entrepreneurs who first harnessed the unprecedented potential of viral loops to create the successful online businesses (some with billion-dollar valuations) that we have all grown to rely on.While Viral Loop is fascinating for Penenberg's savvy, incisive explanation of the concept, it's even more valuable for its prescriptive nature. Throughout the book, Penenberg illustrates how any kind of business can uncork viral loops to benefit its own bottom line, even retrofitting the concept for the offline world.Penenberg explores viral loops and their impact on contemporary American business, while illustrating how all kinds of businesses-from the smallest start-ups to nonprofit organizations to the biggest multinational corporations-can use the paradigm-busting power of viral loops to enable their business through technology.
