Synopsis

Global Mail Start explores the history of communication by examining the origins and evolution of mail systems. It argues that modern communication networks are not sudden inventions, but rather the result of centuries of development. The book highlights how early courier systems laid the groundwork for modern postal services, impacting trade, governance, and the spread of knowledge. For example, the development of formal postal routes in ancient empires like Persia and Rome facilitated political control and economic activity.

 
The book examines two key themes: the evolution of logistical infrastructure and the development of societal trust in centralized communication. It looks at how early messengers overcame physical and organizational challenges, and how mechanisms like seals and codes helped ensure message integrity. By tracing the development of these early systems, Global Mail Start connects the history of communication to broader fields like logistics, political science, and economic history. It begins with informal messenger services and progresses through organized courier networks in ancient civilizations, culminating in the standardized postal systems of the modern era.

    Andrée Griotteray was nineteen when the Germans invaded France and occupied Paris, where she worked as a clerk in the passport office. When her younger brother, Alain, created a resistance network named Orion, Andrée joined his efforts, secretly typing up and printing copies of an underground newspaper, and stealing ID cards which allowed scores of Jewish citizens to escape persecution. 
 
 
 
Charming and pretty, Andrée nimbly avoided the unwanted attentions of German officers, even as she secretly began working as an undercover courier. Displaying fearlessness in the face of immense pressure, she traveled throughout the county delivering vital intelligence destined for France's allies—until the day she was betrayed and arrested. Throughout her ordeal, Andrée stayed composed, refusing to inform on her comrades. Before she was set free, she even duped her interrogators into revealing who had betrayed Orion, and continued her underground activities until France's liberation. 
 
 
 
Weaving in diary entries, letters, and conversations, Andrée's daughter, Francelle, brings a uniquely personal slant to her mother's story. The Paris Girl reveals the narrow escapes and moments of terror, the daily acts of bravery and defiance, and the extraordinary courage displayed by Andrée and so many of her contemporaries, that helped turned the tide of war.

    New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni unveils a truly groundbreaking new model that will change the way we think about work and teams forever. 
 
The 6 Types of Working Genius is the fastest way to help people identify the type of work that brings them joy and energy—and avoid work that leads to frustration and burnout. 
 
Beyond the personal discovery and instant relief that the Working Genius provides, the model also gives teams a remarkably simple and practical framework for tapping into one another’s natural gifts, which increases productivity and reduces unnecessary judgment. 
 
In classic Lencioni fashion, Pat brings his model to life in a page-turning fable that is as relatable as it is compelling. He tells the story of Bull Brooks, an entrepreneur, husband, and father, who sets out to solve his own frustration at  
work and stumbles into a new way of thinking that changes the way he sees his work, his team, and even his marriage. 
 
What sets this book—and the model behind it—apart from other tools and assessments is the speed at which it can be understood and applied, and the relevance it has to every kind of work in life, from running a company to launching a product to managing a family.
