  The Holodomor - Stalin's Famine...

  The Holodomor, one of the most tragic events in Ukrainian history, refers to the man-made famine that devastated Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. The name "Holodomor" itself is derived from two Ukrainian words: "holod," meaning hunger, and "moryty," meaning extermination. This term emphasizes the belief that the famine was deliberately engineered by Joseph Stalin's Soviet government as part of a broader effort to suppress Ukrainian nationalism and enforce Soviet control. 
  The historical context of the Holodomor is deeply intertwined with the policies of Soviet Russia during the early 20th century. Under Stalin’s rule, the Soviet Union sought rapid industrialization and forced collectivization of agriculture, a process that involved the consolidation of individual farms into large collective ones. These policies were highly disruptive and led to widespread resistance, especially in Ukraine, where peasants valued their land and traditional agricultural practices. 
  In response to this resistance, Stalin imposed harsh measures on Ukraine, including the confiscation of grain, livestock, and other foodstuffs, which were sent to feed other parts of the Soviet Union. This created a devastating shortage of food in Ukraine, which was compounded by the harsh climate and poor harvests. Despite the widespread suffering and starvation, the Soviet government did little to alleviate the crisis and instead imposed strict controls on food distribution. In some cases, officials even enforced internal borders, preventing starving people from fleeing to neighboring regions in search of food.

  A great book for young folks who want to become entrepreneurs, and a perfect graduation gift for anyone who is thinking about going into business.Written by a serial entrepreneur and private equity manager who shares his own journey in a way that is easy to apply.Are you thinking of a career pivot out of the 9-5 and don't know where to start? This book is for you. It provides a unique and simple framework for understanding what you can do to leverage your current work and life skills into the business world. Maybe you're stuck at a job you hate and wishing for a way out...trying to think of a big idea that will make you a shark tank contender? This book will make things a lot easier than you might believe.  This book has been compared to The Richest Man in Babylon as well as The Alchemist, but it is also the kind of transformative book that people have likened to Rich Dad. Poor Dad, and The 4-Hour Workweek.  You'll learn from real stories of business and you'll get memorable principles that come from an entertaining ancient parable. A story as old as time: a person taking control of their own destiny. A boy becomes the king's flyswatter, a seemingly unimportant job with no real prospects. Compared to today's world, where employees expect a succinct and tangible path of promotions and raises, fly-swatting seems like torture. But, with the help of a few key mentors, Ubar of ancient Babylon learns that there's more to the position than meets the eye. After all, he spends his days standing at the wise king's side, watching as he renders royal judgment on his citizens' disagreements. It's Ubar's responsibility to learn as much as possible without sacrificing his performance at swatting flies, a mundane job.  The parable of the King's Flyswatter holds up remarkably well when entwined with modern stories of people who took the skills they learned in their jobs and set off on their own paths. Modern day executives and entrepreneurs understand the importance of going above and beyond at work, forging connections, and gaining a deeper understanding of the industry, even when they hated the job.They mastered their job, their boss's job, and made themselves invaluable as employees. That hard work and dedication paid off later when they were able to pursue a lifestyle that suited their needs, financial and emotional. They gained agency once they realized that they worked for themselves, even in a monotonous job working for someone else. This is the Way of the Flyswatter. The King's Flyswatter is a combination of an ancient parable and the author's real-life experiences as an entrepreneur, all wrapped up in actionable wisdom that working-people can use to find their own path to success. The alternating chapters about the author's own journey, and the stories of his friends and business partners, help punctuate the book with actionable principles and real-life applications.

  The way we traditionally think about feedback, accountability, and performance management prevents us from being the kind of human beings we want to be. The emphasis on pressure, discipline, and controlling others is not comfortable. Traditional advice for giving feedback comes up short; we prepare and practice scripts that fail us. Too often we walk away feeling miserable without accomplishing what we had hoped.  
  The Disconnect Principle changes all of that. It will show you how to eliminate those difficult conversations entirely. Once you understand the root cause of the discomfort, it is simple to avoid it altogether.
