Synopsis

The Self-Made Myth exposes the false claim that business success is the result of heroic individual effort with little or no outside help. Brian Miller and Mike Lapham bust the myth and present profiles of business leaders who recognize the public investments and supports that made their success possible—including Warren Buffett, Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry’s, New Belgium Brewing CEO Kim Jordan, and others. The book also thoroughly demolishes the claims of supposedly self-made individuals such as Donald Trump and Ross Perot. How we view the creation of wealth and individual success is critical because it shapes our choices on taxes, regulation, public investments in schools and infrastructure, CEO pay, and more. It takes a village to raise a business—it’s time to recognize that fact.

    Summary of Michael D. Watkins's The First 90 Days is a handbook for the executive in transition. It provides lessons and examples for the optimal way to successfully enter a new company, position, or role. Above all, making a strong transition in the first 90 days can be the difference between long-term success in that role and a spiral into failure that can haunt an executive’s reputation wherever he or she may go. 
    The first 90 days are best when approached as a period of learning and analysis instead of action. For a new executive, early initiatives loom disproportionately large to new bosses, colleagues, and employees. As a result, leaders in transition should use this time to secure early wins, learn about what supports the status quo, and develop a clear idea, together with higher management and employees, of what success will look like in each person’s individual role…

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
    In 'Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier' by Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah Winfrey, readers are invited on a transformative journey toward greater happiness, regardless of their current challenges. Drawing on the latest scientific insights and their wealth of experience in helping individuals turn ideas into action, Brooks and Winfrey offer practical strategies to enhance one's life immediately, without relying on external changes. 
    With empathy and optimism, the authors emphasize the power of emotional self-management as a tool for immediate life improvement. They provide research-backed practices to strengthen the four essential pillars of happiness: family, friendship, work, and faith. In addition to sharing their own wisdom from personal lives and careers, they also highlight stories of ordinary people who have found joy and contentment despite facing setbacks and adversity. 
    Armed with the knowledge of emotional self-management and a blueprint to fortify their life's pillars, readers can take control of their present and future rather than passively waiting for circumstances to improve. 'Build the Life You Want' serves as a practical guide to creating a happier and more fulfilling life.

    During the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, our financial infrastructure failed. Govern­ments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down. This episode spurred a serious rethink of our financial system. In DeFi and the Future of Finance, Campbell R. Harvey, Ashwin Ramachandran, and Joey Santoro introduce the new world of Decen­tralized Finance. The book argues that the current financial landscape is ripe for dis­ruption and we are seeing, in real time, the reinvention of finance. The authors provide listeners with a clear assessment of the problems with the current financial system and how DeFi solves many of its issues. The essence of DeFi is that we interact with peers—there is no brick and mortar and all of the associated costs. Savings and lending are reinvented. Trading takes place with algorithms far re­moved from traditional brokerages. The book conducts a deep dive on some of the most innovative protocols such as Uniswap and Compound. Many of the companies featured in the book you might not have heard of—however, you will in the future.
