Full of captivating profiles and expert insights into the lives and lifestyles of the nouveau riche, Richistan tells the real story of a new gilded age. The recent explosion of wealth has created a new breed of multimillionaires. Ed Bazinet, for example, who turned miniature ceramic villages into a $250 million fortune. Or Tim Blixseth, who became a billionaire by trading remote stretches of timberland. Richistan takes readers inside a rarified world to see how these blue-collar-workers-turned-billionaires are earning, spending, and living.From "Butler School," where domestics are specially trained to serve the newly wealthy, to self-help groups for coping with the strains of $10 million incomes, you'll discover how the nouveaux riches learn to be riche. In addition, Frank investigates where their money is going. With so much in the hands of so few, the personal whims of the extremely wealthy can make or break charities and research foundations. Will they support cancer research or the arts? Supernatural exploration or archaeological digs? The influence wielded by the newly wealthy goes far beyond their fashion choices or participation in reality TV shows.Richistan looks behind the glitz to find the real story behind new money and its impact on the richest nation in the world.Zum Buch
Go out and ask a bunch of your friends whether or not they have a preference for Coke and Pepsi. Some people say they taste the same, but most people will say they can taste the difference. You probably have some vague memory of the ads you’ve seen over the years for these products. Scantly clad, young attractive guys and girls in the prime of their fertile lives. Usually in party or holiday mode. Socialising. Relaxing. Wearing the latest trends in fashion, looking cool and having flirtatious fun. Consciously there is not much going on, but branding doesn’t work in our conscious mind. And our unconcious mind sees a very different meaning here. All the advertisers have to do is trigger you to have very subtle feelings. So subtle, that you don’t even realise that they are there. Its the repetition of those subtle feelings that programs your unconscious mind to create the meaning. You see those messages all the time throughout your whole life. And at some point, eventually, you’re going to feel a desire to fit in with the cool kids (especially during your adolescent years). And in those moments, your uncurious has already primed you to associate those feelings with certain brands through all those repetitious messages you thought nothing of at the time. The take home message is that they still have to make a product that tastes at least reasonably good of course. But remember, the taste is only part of it. The rest is in the psychology of how the brands are marketed to manipulate the feelings and meanings we attach to them which distorts how we think they taste. So if advertisers can trick our brain into making us prefer products, then how can we take back the power and control? If you would like to know how exactly to trick your brain into craving healthy habits instead, then this book is for you.Zum Buch
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official "Dare to Lead" by Brené Brown challenges conventional notions of leadership by emphasizing that true leadership isn't about titles or power but about recognizing and developing the potential in people and ideas. Brown contends that daring leadership involves curiosity, asking the right questions, sharing power, embracing vulnerability, and engaging in tough conversations when necessary. In a world marked by scarcity and uncertainty, where machines and AI are taking on more tasks, Brown argues that human traits like empathy, connection, and courage are what leaders should focus on developing. Drawing from her extensive research and experiences working with leaders globally, she addresses the universal question of how to cultivate braver and more daring leaders while embedding a culture of courage. In her characteristic no-nonsense style, Brown identifies four teachable and measurable skill sets that constitute daring leadership. She emphasizes that choosing courage over comfort is a challenging but essential endeavor and encourages readers to show up with their whole hearts in their leadership roles. Whether you're familiar with Brené Brown's previous work or new to her ideas, "Dare to Lead" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to step up and become a brave leader.Zum Buch
