    Observers tell us that we will have many jobs and possibly several careers during our lifetimes.  But there is very little practical help available for professionals on how to move between jobs and careers. 
    This audiobook takes the listener through a comprehensive process that will help them to prepare for job search, identify job opportunities, and then maximize their chance of success. 
    The author has worked with over 1,000 senior executives as a career coach.  So, his advice is practical and it is supported by real stories of successes and setbacks. 
    Most people are not aware of the life skills required to manage successful transitions between jobs.  They tend work on their cv and then to make up their own approach to moving forward.   
    They often aim too low.  They do not understand how to prepare properly.  It is not uncommon for them to fail to reach their potential.   When their approach does not work out they blame themselves.    
    It does not need to be this way.  This audiobook increases the possibility of success in your transition process and then in your subsequent career. 
    The original book was written for mid-career professionals.   But the process it describes is relevant for individuals at any stage on their career, from graduation to retirement. 
    This audiobook has four parts: 
    1.    Understanding the basics 
    2.    Building on your strengths 
    3.    Growing the power of your network 
    4.    Finding the right job.

    As a Russian recruit in World War II, Ivan Makarov witnessed General Chuikov pull out his pistol and shoot their regimental commander as a traitor. That was on his first day at the front. Thrown into an open field to face German tanks and artillery fire, with only rifles and machine guns to defend themselves with, almost 2,000 men of his regiment were wiped out in only six days at the Eastern Front. At this rate, Ivan struggled to comprehend how he would survive the hundreds of battles that lay before him, with death seeming to be the only certainty. 
     
     
     
    In his raw and trenchant memoir, Ivan recounts the terror and despair faced by a Red Army soldier on the Eastern Front. He has no sympathy for Stalin and his incompetent commanders, who sought awards and recognition at the expense of their soldiers' lives. He simply wanted to serve his country. 
     
     
     
    It is rare to find first-hand accounts of the Great Patriotic War from Red Army soldiers, as many did not survive to tell the tale. For the first time, Ivan reveals his gripping recollections of battles, times, places, and people encountered throughout World War II, from when he was drafted in 1941 until their victory in 1945. These recollections he dared not put on paper until 1992.

    Anarchism: What It Really Stands...

    Emma Goldman (1869 – 1940) was an anarchist political activist and writer. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century. 
    In this essay, (1910) Goldman sets forth her interpretation of the ideology of anarchism. Like most anarchists, she was highly idealistic; believing that human nature was inherently good, she was convinced that a state of absolute freedom would maximize human happiness and productivity. Here she enumerates the many constraints — including religion, property, law and government — that she sees as limiting the individual's liberty. She claims that anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth, an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life.
