  Lee Munsons Rigged Money details the truth about Wall  Street, making no apologies, while also arming todays  investor with simple, smart, and clear advice to even the playing  field between Wall Street and Main Street. Wall Street purposely  keeps Main Street in the dark about the new rules of the game:     Risk Isnt Constant: Different asset classes, even  equities and bonds, overlap when it comes to risk and  volatility.  Strategies Are Key: Implementing an arsenal of trading  strategies is what gets results, not the securities  themselves.  Buy and Hold is Dead: The financial world (and all the  companies and securities in it) moves too quickly and is changing  too often for this theory to hold true today.  Gold is a Bubble About to Burst: Gold is todays currency  of fear. And this fear  driven by media and talk show hosts   has created yet another bubble that is bound to burst.    Munson details this and so much more in Rigged Money,  providing prescriptive advice to investors on what Wall Street is  doing behind their backs and how they can use the same techniques  and knowledge to beat the professionals at their own game.

  Being the Boss - Get the Work Done

  Being the Boss starts and ends with doing the work. The role models should be Jack Welch, ex-CEO of GE; Steve Jobs at Apple; and Jeff Bezos at Amazon. They get out in front of the work and lead the charge. Only then do they assess their talent to see who to enlist to help them. This audiobook emphasizes that, even if you get the boss job because you get along with people, have leadership skills, or network well, the key is doing the work - getting the job done. And checking with your boss to be sure you are doing exactly what he or she wants. Once a day is not too often."Boss, am I focused on what you want me to be?" Few say it; hard to get very off course if you keep calibrating, says the author. The author suggests exactly what you should do on each day in week one and in your second week of bossing. Don't sit back and assess, he advises, as so many people do. Get after it, get things done, and enlist those you need to support your efforts, both people reporting to you and those that don't, inside and outside your organization.Lou Gerstner, when he became IBM's CEO, famously started by talking to customers: "What do you want? What can we do better?" He scheduled 40% of his time with customers. And lhe eft a can do, get it done, sales VP in charge as CEO when he left.The work always starts with the customer, the author points out. Start there. And he provides interesting tips about how to deal with the people reporting to you: keep the ones that can help; return the ones that can't to HR, but keep them in your budget until HR can place them elsewhere or eliminate them. Don't harm people; just move them out. And quickly. You should get this done by Friday of your first week when still in your honeymoon period with your boss. The author says he has never met an effective CEO or boss who said he or she acted too quickly in removing people. But, and this is a big but, don't harm them. Move them to HR; keep them on the budget; support their transition; just not in your shop.A great listening experience, and with humor too - not easy in a talk about bossing.

  What if our schools, health care systems, and political institutions nurtured our capacity to be loving and kind? What if corporations were obligated to support the social and environmental needs of the communities in which they do business? Rabbi Lerner not only imagines such a world, he has also created a template for how each of these institutions would operate.

  Known as the “Father of Western Philosophy”, Aristotle imparted priceless wisdom to the world during his time. And even in the modern era, people turn to his quotes in times of dilemma to get a clear picture of their life and its problems. Among his numerous teachings, one of his sayings that really stands out is- 
  “There is no great genius without some touch of madness”. 
  This philosophy has passed the test of time with flying colors and is very much applicable even today. It not only makes us think what defines genius but also raises several questions as to the real meaning of madness and why every intelligent or smart individual cannot be an individual.  
  Having said that, words of an individual cannot and should not be measured through a singular lens. Thus, a different point of view, scientific, to be precise, should be used to examine these deep words that the Greek scientist and philosopher left for us to figure out.
