Summary

A Tramp Abroad illustrated Mark Twain - A Tramp Abroad is a work of travel literature, including a mixture of autobiography and fictional events, by American author Mark Twain, published in 1880. The book details a journey by the author, with his friend Harris (a character created for the book, and based on his closest friend, Joseph Twichell), through central and southern Europe. While the stated goal of the journey is to walk most of the way, the men find themselves using other forms of transport as they traverse the continent. The book is the fourth of Mark Twain's six travel books published during his lifetime and is often thought to be an unofficial sequel to the first one, The Innocents Abroad (1869).As the two men make their way through Germany, the Alps, and Italy, they encounter situations made all the more humorous by their reactions to them. The narrator (Twain) plays the part of the American tourist of the time, believing that he understands all that he sees, but in reality understanding none of it.

    In Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind, Robert G. Hagstrom breaks new ground with a deep analysis of Buffett's essential wisdom, an intricate mosaic of wide-ranging ideas and insights that Buffett calls a Money Mind.What exactly is a Money Mind? At one level, it's a way of thinking about major financial issues such as capital allocation. At another level, it summarizes an overall mindset for successfully investing in today's fast-paced stock market, a mindset that depends on a commitment to learning, adapting, and facing down irrelevant noise.This is not a method book. It is a thinking book. Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind explains the philosophies of self-reliance, stoicism, rationalism, and pragmatism and their contributions to making intelligent investment decisions. It also outlines the evolution of value investing, discusses how to develop a business-driven investing mindset, and describes the defining traits of successful active management. Lastly, it examines the surprising aspects of a Money Mind—sportsman, teacher, and artist. In short, Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind helps listeners understand the building blocks that go into making a Money Mind so they can begin to incorporate its principles in the service to a life of value.

    This groundbreaking study reveals the vital perspective women bring to business—and how to make sure your organization takes full advantage of it.Women and men experience the world differently. They not only see things differently—they also see different things. Men tend to have a bottom line, linear way of thinking. Women are more empathetic, more aware of the critical impact of interpersonal factors both within and without the organization. Everyone knows that both perspectives are important, yet organizations only reward traditionally male points of view.Drawing on extensive research and workplace experience, Sally Helgesen and Julie Johnson demonstrate that the female perspective is the underutilized asset so many companies need to succeed. They delve into the stories of women whose vision improved their companies—even as they had to struggle against unresponsive organizations, dismissive managers, and their own personal fears. The Female Vision also show how companies can create environments that welcome and encourage women to share what they notice, to the benefit of the organization as a whole—including the bottom line.
