    Summary, Analysis, and Review of Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny PLEASE NOTE: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny includes a summary of the book, review, analysis & key takeaways, and detailed About the Author section. PREVIEW: Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny is a primer on what people can do to resist tyranny. It also provides tools for recognizing tyranny and discusses historical background on how tyrannical governments have been established in the past. Snyder mostly uses examples from twentieth century Europe, particularly from communist and fascist regimes, to illustrate his arguments. The United States was founded as a response to and a rejection of tyranny. American history and European history provide resources to recognize tyranny and combat it. History also shows that democratic traditions do not necessarily protect a nation from tyranny. Democratic movements after World War I, Wo

    Deep Creativity reveals the findings of Victor Shamas’ 30-year exploration of the creative process. Rather than observing creativity in others, he delved into the experience directly in order to uncover hidden truths and break free of common misconceptions. Deep Creativity turns fundamental assumptions about creativity on their head while offering fresh perspectives on the scientific method, fractals, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, plate tectonics, mind and consciousness, hero myths, the life cycle, sleep and dreams, mothers’ intuition, the nature of wisdom, peak experiences, and even the Gospels. Written from a research psychologist’s perspective, Deep Creativity portrays the creative experience as a bold adventure filled with passion, turmoil, inspiration, sacrifice, sheer joy, self-transcendence, and unconditional love.

    When you’re trying to reach your target audience effectively, nothing beats a well-written business book. But it’s also tough to get right. Poorly written business books litter the virtual bookshelves.Your book needs to be so interesting the reader devours it, and then wants the next one.    As moreish as the next Netflix series.    Bitesize, useful, life changing content.    Atomic, valuable, business-growing books.    Built around your expertise and their most important problem.After more than twenty years of helping clients turn their thoughts into things, coupled with my engineering background and love of constraints (not that kind!), I have come to the conclusion that the only way to turn your thoughts into things, and get your ideas out into the world is to:    Make the ideas atomic – the smallest workable unit (a Minimum Valuable Asset®)    Have a proven system that works to produce the “thing” (this book for books)    Set a constraint – time, money, resources – and be accountable to the constraint    Iterate and improve yourself, as well as the process.Many people don’t get their ideas turned into things (books written) because they skip an element in the process, reinvent the process or don’t even have a process to start with. When you have the process you can turn your thoughts into many different things. This book gives you the process so you can write your book that will be read and referred!To write a book that people read & refer:    Make sure there's a business case before investing your time & money    Focus on what the reader needs to hear not what you want to say    Write value not volume    Use a framework for the process, not for the idea    Choose yourself, not the publisher    Produce a book that markets itselfYou'll find all that and more inside...Learn how to accomplish your author brand-building goals and create an outstanding book that is virtually guaranteed to be picked up, and read.
