Synopsis

In "H. R.", Edwin Lefevre deftly navigates the intricate world of Wall Street, capturing the tumultuous rise and fall of a fictional stockbroker. With a meticulous eye for detail and a narrative style that interweaves rich character studies with sharp economic insight, Lefevre presents a compelling tableau of early 20th-century finance. The novel echoes the frenetic pace and moral ambiguities of its time, underscoring the psychological toll of speculative trading through vivid character interactions and suspenseful plot developments, reflecting the era's burgeoning capitalist ethos. Edwin Lefevre, a former stockbroker himself, draws upon his firsthand experiences in the financial markets, infusing "H. R." with authenticity and depth. His background in journalism also lends a keen clarity to his prose, making complex financial instruments accessible to the lay reader. Lefevre's exploration of ambition, greed, and the human condition is informed by his own encounters with the perils of speculative markets, making this work a personal reflection as much as a social critique. Recommended for both financial aficionados and lovers of literary fiction, "H. R." offers an engaging exploration of the interplay between human ambition and ethical dilemmas in a rapidly evolving economic landscape. Lefevre's nuanced portrayal of his characters will resonate with anyone who has grappled with the highs and lows of ambition.

100% Success Mindset -...

Samuel C. A.

Let’s be clear. I’m not one of those so-called motivational gurus. I speak straight, very straight. I’m not going to tell you to wish upon the universe and magically attract whatever you want, like a 20-year-old TikToker doing silly dances for a 50-year-old creep. No, I’ll make you think about things that have helped me a lot. I’ll teach you how to act in certain situations, how to face others, what attitude to take, how to find strength when there’s none left, how to leave your comfort zone, improve, and never quit. I’ll show you that the only limits are in your mind. You’ll discover the keys to success, make the necessary habit changes, and learn how to develop self-discipline.
And I know what you’re thinking:What the hell can you teach me about personal development? Well, read the book, and you’ll find out!I don’t care about you or your stupid motivational book! Then look for another one. There are plenty!I doubt your damn personal development book will interest me. Well, I’m sure it will! The information is useful to anyone—from businesspeople to athletes. But maybe I’m not interested in you reading my damn book. It’s helpful to everyone, but not everyone deserves it.What do you know about self-discipline? A lot. I was taught strict discipline from a young age, no complaints, no excuses. The military, sports and life itself were responsible for reinforcing that.Alright, alright. And what about overcoming failures and adversity? Oh, I’ve got plenty of experience with that.
Is that enough for you, or do you prefer wishing upon the universe?
