  When it comes to feedback, communication issues rarely stem from the specific words chosen. Instead, they often arise from the emotional and mental associations that the person receiving feedback brings to the conversation. 
  Take, for example, James, a father coaching his twin daughters’ soccer team. When offering the same feedback to both girls, he notices starkly different reactions. Emma, one of the twins, interprets his words as encouragement. Her sister, Clara, however, hears criticism. By shifting his approach and using more positive, appreciative language for Clara, James successfully fosters enthusiasm in both daughters.

  How can leaders adapt to the rapid change of technology’s impact on business? How can AI be leveraged for more intelligent decision making? Can our choices be simultaneously good for business and the world? This book provides leaders with the first steps to answer these important questions. 
  For over thirty years, technology has become more interwoven with both our professional and personal lives. In the future, the integration of tech, business, and life will become even more seamless. With the current exponential growth of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, business leaders must learn how to adapt their decision making to look beyond short-term profits and create insight for long-term impact and growth. 
  In Time is Now: A Journey into Demystifying AI, Raj Verma, CEO of SingleStore, takes readers on an insightful journey to not only demystify emerging tech like AI but to demystify how today’s leader must make decisions. Through engaging storytelling and relevant examples, Verma shares the lessons from his personal and professional life to glean timeless and universal lessons. 
  At the crux of this journey, is the power of Now, which Verma defines as a convergence of Information, Context, and Choice:Information is data, the collection of memory which shapes our identity.Context is the analysis of all information in the present.Choice is focused on the future, approached with courage and conscience. 
  From these three pillars of Now, we write our future—for better or worse. As the speed of Real Time increases, so will the consequences of our decisions. In the explosion of AI, leaders have a responsibility to learn before they act. We must wield the tools available with the insight that our decisions will impact the world for generations to come. Doing so will require both great courage and conscience. It cannot wait. The time is Now.

  Destination; Remarkable -...

  Few that know Mary Grothe today would guess that her childhood was traumatic. That she was raised by an alcoholic mother and abusive father in a filthy house, where tar dripped down the walls from the profusion of cigarette smoke. That at fourteen she watched her childhood auctioned off beneath a big top before fleeing town as a result of her parents’ criminal mistakes. Or that dance, her original love and ticket to freedom, would be taken from her in an instant. That four whole years of darkness followed. That she briefly married a man so toxic that she had to plot a secret escape to free herself. 
   
  What many people do know is that, in spite of all the above, she discovered, to her own astonishment and that of everyone around her, that she was something of a sales prodigy. That her success was meteoric. That her name was synonymous with number one. 
   
  Until now, most also don’t know that all of this “success” led her straight back down into the darkness. Into alcoholism, and from there into the front porch of her neighbors’ house, behind the wheel of one of her two cars. Or that years of healing, and grinding away in the trenches, would only bring her straight back to her knees. That finally, one fateful Christmas morning, from the pit of the bottom, she found Jesus. That again, she thought she’d forever changed her life, only to learn that doing so is easier said than done. 
   
  And that’s just the first half of this book. 
  But this isn’t an ordinary business book, or an ordinary autobiography. It’s not merely a rollercoaster, either, but an entire theme park full of them: of being a daughter, a partner, a wife, a mother, a Christian, a founder, and a CEO.

  Having understood the exchange, let us understand what is exchanged...
  
  In nature, plants and animals seek food in order to survive. Plants and animals also need power, to get food, and not become food. An animal without power will not eat and be soon eaten by others. Animals increase their power by collaborating with each other in herds, packs, and hives. Competition helps the stronger and faster get a greater share of the food. Collaboration helps the group; competition helps the mighty.
  
  Culture exists to provide food and power to humans. But for humans, food and power take very complex forms, as hunger and insecurity are fueled by imagination. For humans, that which satisfies human hunger is Lakshmi, the goddess of food and fortune, whose name is derived from the word laksha, or target. She is what we value and hoard the most. Durga is the goddess of security and power. Like Lakshmi, she too can be stored, stolen, and shared. Her name is derived from durg, or the fortress. Then there is Saraswati, goddess of knowledge, who helps humans discover, invent, and innovate new forms of food, and security.
  
  In this chapter, we will focus on the goddesses, Lakshmi, Durga, and Saraswati, who embody resources, power, and knowledge that humans exchange in the market.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Ever watch a colleague solve in 5 minutes what takes you 5 hours? Or sit in meetings wondering how everyone else seems to "get it" faster? 
  It's not intelligence. It's not experience. 
  It's a learnable skill you were never taught. 
  While schools dump facts into your brain, nobody teaches you how to think. So you end up guessing at decisions, drowning in data you can't analyze, and watching opportunities pass to people who just seem to "figure things out" faster. 
  Here's what happens without sharp thinking: 
  You spend hours on problems that should take minutes. You make decisions you regret by Monday. Your boss overlooks you for the promotion because you're "not strategic enough." You watch less-qualified people get ahead simply because they think more clearly. 
  Here's what changes when you master critical thinking: 
  Problems that used to paralyze you? You dissect them in minutes. Data overwhelm? You spot patterns others miss. Team debates? You cut through confusion with clarity. Career growth? You become the person leadership depends on when the stakes are high. 
  This book gives you the exact system top performers use: 
  ✓ The 3-step framework that breaks down any complex problem  
  ✓ How to make bulletproof decisions even with incomplete information  
  ✓ The communication tricks that make people actually listen to your ideas  
  ✓ Spotting misinformation and bad data before it sabotages your work  
  ✓ Creative problem-solving techniques that impress bosses and save hours  
  ✓ Strategic thinking methods used by executives—simplified for anyone  
  No fluff. No theory. Just eight chapters of frameworks you'll use Monday morning. 
  Start with Chapter 1 over coffee. Apply the first technique in your 10am meeting. Watch people's reactions shift by lunch. 
  Perfect for: Mid-career professionals tired of spinning their wheels. New managers drowning in decisions. Anyone sick of being the smartest person who gets overlooked.
