Sinossi

We all know time is precious. Despite this, economics generally regards time as a unit of measurement rather than as something inherently valuable. What makes this strange is that economics as a discipline has always been something of an academic cuckoo in the nest, borrowing ideas from elsewhere. While it is over a hundred years since Einstein’s theories of relativity revolutionised our concept of time, economics still labours under the old Newtonian conception of it as a sort of fixed, intergalactic tape measure – until now.In Jam Tomorrow?, Charles Crowson presents a new theory of value at the heart of which lies our ever-changing perception of time. Humans are unique in their degree of self-awareness; particularly the awareness of their existence in time. As the basic economic choice is one of consuming in the present or saving for the future, all such choices are ultimately decisions about time. This means that we alone are the animal that chooses to save, since we alone understand that our actions in the present can affect the future.Jam Tomorrow? recasts economics as a question of the balance between our needs and desires in the present and those of the future. This makes our changing perception of time a kind of invisible ink that links the micro to the macro, the past to the future, and that offers a new and challenging way of understanding the relationship between value, price, money and credit.

    The Business of Being an Author is a practical and commercially grounded guide for anyone who wants their book to do more than simply get published. It is for authors, entrepreneurs, experts, consultants, speakers and thought leaders who want to use a book to build credibility, create opportunities, attract quality clients and grow a meaningful business. 
     
    Too many people write a book with big hopes, only to discover that nothing much changes. The book exists, but it does not open doors, generate leads, strengthen their brand or create commercial momentum. This audiobook explains why. Writing a book is only the beginning. To make a real impact, a book must be written with clear purpose, produced to a world class standard and leveraged strategically over time. 
     
    Drawing on more than 30 years of publishing experience, Andrew Griffiths shares the lessons, frameworks and hard won insights that come from writing 15 books, selling into 65 countries and working with more than 1000 first time authors. He unpacks what it really means to be a commercial author and how to build a business around your book with clarity, substance and intent. 
     
    This is not just a book about writing. It is a book about thinking differently. It explores how to create a stronger author brand, develop the right product architecture, build a loyal community, leverage your book more effectively, generate media, create collaborations, sell books in bulk and stay relevant in a fast changing world. It also helps authors think long term, with practical guidance on developing a 10 year vision and a 12 month strategy. 
     
    Honest, experienced and highly practical, The Business of Being an Author is for people who want to write a better book, build a smarter business and use authorship as a serious tool for influence, opportunity and growth.
