    This book consists of two titles, related to bitcoin and altcoins: 
    Title 1 - A crypto wallet is a tool for storing your bitcoins. Specifically, it is software designed to keep your Bitcoin secure. This software can be run on various devices including desktop computers, laptops, and mobile phones (though currently not on Apple devices). It can also be configured to store bitcoins on physical media like thumb drives, which is a good option if you are concerned about hacking. For example, the Winklevoss twins, who have invested millions in Bitcoin, use hard drives to store their assets and keep them in a safe-deposit box. 
      
    The Winklevoss twins originally conceived the idea for a social networking site that eventually became Facebook. They collaborated with Mark Zuckerberg, who took their idea and became exceedingly successful. 
    Title 2 - The history of Bitcoin is both fascinating and complex. Developed by an anonymous group of mathematicians, Bitcoin emerged in 2008 with the intention of becoming "virtual gold," and its first software was released in early 2009 during the peak of the U.S. recession. Recognizing the need for long-term value, similar to gold, its creators capped the supply at 21 million Bitcoins. Bitcoin mining, the process by which new Bitcoins are generated, involves "miners" using specialized software to solve intricate mathematical problems, earning Bitcoins as a reward. Bitcoin has dominated the cryptocurrency world for so long that "crypto" and "Bitcoin" are often used interchangeably.

    In What Works: A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal Setting, celebrated speaker, coach, and author Tara McMullin shows you how to transform the way you set and achieve your goals to create a gentler and more fulfilling way to work toward what you truly want.

    The author's actionable strategies and tools go beyond mere platitudes about "slowing down" and "appreciating what you have" to a concrete demonstration of how to prioritize practice over achievement. You'll also find: an antidote to our culture's relentless pursuit of "more"; ways to end the habit of constantly striving for something else at the cost of your own wellbeing; and strategies for ending your internal monologue of constant comparison to other people.

    Never Not Working - Why the...

    Many workers believe that to compete with other top talent they must embrace a culture that rewards long hours and constant connection to work. Businesses and society have encouraged this by endorsing busyness, overwork, and extreme commitment as the most valued traits in workers. Sometimes that endorsement is explicit, as when Elon Musk told Twitter employees to work "long hours at high intensity" or get fired. But more often it's an implicit contract, a buildup of organizational and cultural norms and the adoption of new technologies that increasingly make it easy to tether people to work. 
     
     
     
    Either way, this workaholic behavior is unhealthy and counterproductive for workers and for organizations. It's time to fight back. Malissa Clark shows you how in Never Not Working. Clark delivers a comprehensive definition of workaholism, busting myths along the way—such as the idea that the number of hours worked is the strongest predictor of workaholic tendencies. (It's not.) She also helps you see if you're creating workaholics in your organization or if you're falling prey to the phenomenon yourself. 
     
     
     
    Deeply researched and written for everyone from leaders to individual contributors, Never Not Working is the essential guide to identifying workaholism in yourself and others and starting on the road to recovery.
