Summary

Cancelled Projects explores the complex reasons why film and television ventures, announced with great anticipation, ultimately fail to materialize. It delves into the high-stakes world of Hollywood, where creative visions clash, financial backing falters, and legal disputes erupt, leaving promising projects abandoned. The book unveils intriguing insights, such as how a director's vision can conflict with studio expectations, leading to project termination, or how unforeseen financial constraints can abruptly halt even the most meticulously planned productions. This book offers a unique perspective by dissecting failures to reveal the underlying dynamics of the entertainment industry.

 
By examining case studies grouped thematically around creative differences, financial difficulties, and legal challenges, Cancelled Projects highlights patterns and proposes strategies for mitigating risks. The book adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, presenting information in an accessible manner.

 
The book progresses by first defining "cancelled projects" and then analyzing various case studies from different eras and genres. These case studies detail the project's origins, key players, and specific reasons for cancellation, culminating in a synthesis of common patterns and proposing risk mitigation strategies. This exploration offers valuable lessons for industry professionals, investors, and anyone fascinated by the business of film and television, emphasizing the importance of planning, communication, and adaptability in navigating the entertainment industry.

    CRMs do not close million-dollar deals. People do. 
    If your entire sales strategy fits inside a CRM, you are already obsolete. AI can now write flawless pitches and optimize contracts in seconds. To survive, your edge can no longer be a sales funnel—it must be your humanity. The future belongs to those who master the psychology of trust, decision, and human drive. 
    Traditional sales training focuses on mechanics: processes, org charts, and sales funnels. These are necessary tools, but they won't close a complex, seven-figure deal. By contrast, academic psychology sounds brilliant in theory but proves useless in the field. 
    Sellanima is the bridge between psychological theory and sales execution. It translates the profound insights of Viktor Frankl, Abraham Maslow, and Daniel Kahneman into a field-tested playbook for the modern sales professional. 
    Inside, you will learn how to:Ignite Inspiration using Viktor Frankl’s existential psychology to turn customer purpose into a strategic partnership.Apply Maslow's Framework to decode hidden customer fears and translate them into winning value propositions.Command the Decision using 25 cognitive shortcuts to override hesitation and close the deal.Train Your Sales Force to execute these psychological models during high-pressure sales cycles.

  • Pay Up! - Conservative Myths About Tax Cuts for the Rich - cover

    Pay Up! - Conservative Myths...

    Since the Reagan era, conservatives in the United States have championed cutting taxes, especially for wealthy individuals and corporations, as the best way to achieve economic prosperity. In his new book, Pay Up!, John L. Campbell shows that while these claims are highly influential, they are also wrong. Using historical and cross-national evidence, the book challenges and refutes every justification conservatives have made for tax cuts—that American taxes are too high; they hurt the economy; they facilitate government waste; they constitute an unfair downward redistribution of income; and they threaten individual freedom—and conversely shows that countries can actually benefit from higher taxes, especially when tax increases fall most heavily on those most able to pay them. Through clear prose and a well-reasoned argument, Campbell's book provides an accessible, engaging, and much-needed perspective on the role of taxes in American society.
