  Star and executive producer of the hit TV show Bar Rescue and New York Times bestselling author of Don't Bullsh*t Yourself, Jon Taffer reveals the transformational power of conflict, sharing his toolkit for arguing smarter—at home, at work, and in life. 
   
  Most people try their best to avoid conflict. Bar Rescue host Jon Taffer understands that. Conflict can have negative results. It’s easy to think that the key to a happy workplace or marriage is to avoid conflict. In reality, that’s not the case—the key is to argue smarter. 
  Enter the Toolkit for Getting Conflict Right. Taffer’s approach is focused on deliberate conflict—otherwise known as “conflict with a purpose.” There are selective and strategic ways to have difficult conversations, and when doing so, to stay aware of your objectives rather than escalating tension unnecessarily. As Taffer explains, “The key is to act affirmatively, constructively, and productively.” Eliminating conflict isn’t always the answer; inevitably there will be times when it will arise. Engaging in conflict can be a way to clear the air, and get to the bottom of issues that, once resolved, can strengthen friendships, ease tensions at work, and address problems before they have a chance to bubble over. 
  With easy-to-follow advice that shows how to best engage in constructive discourse to get the results you want, The Power of Conflict provides you with the rules to argue smarter, uphold your values, and keep the conversation real. The step-by-step guide starts with the inception of the conflict and carries through the difficult conversation’s conclusion, arming readers with the skills and confidence to fight for their principles.  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Reimagine Retirement Planning: How to Create Stable, Increasing, Tax-Efficient, Lifetime Income
  Gone are the days of traditional retirement planning. The idea that you can simply save a certain amount and retire with confidence is flawed, dangerous even, as it does not account for today’s volatile financial markets, increasing life expectancy, interest rates, and every individual’s unique retirement lifestyle needs. Drawing from his experience advising retirees through some of the most financially turbulent decades, VanWeelden doesn’t just offer another retirement guide—he challenges the conventional wisdom, revolutionizes the way we approach retirement, and cuts through the myths, hype, and propaganda to reveal the truth about retirement income planning and investing. 
  VanWeelden’s solution is simple and highly effective: Truly reliable retirement planning is based on creating stable, increasing, tax-efficient, lifetime income, and, above all else, mitigating risk. Using this practical guide, you will identify how to generate all the income you’ll ever need while minimizing the various risks along the way. Whether you have an abundance of resources or you’re just hoping what you have will last a lifetime, this is your comprehensive road map to retire with unwavering confidence, unlock the full potential of your years of hard work, and achieve your retirement dreams.

  Paul Nathan, an expert on the gold standard, has written the definitive modern guide to returning to a gold standard that will work for global markets that are far different than those that existed in the 1970s when the U.S. moved off the gold standard. Written for beginning and professional readers, Nathan succinctly and clearly explains the nature of sound money, the causes and cures of inflation and deflation, the importance of fiscal responsibility within a sound monetary system, and the reasons for recessions and depressions. He then offers guidance on how we can lean toward a gold standard (that doesn't involve extremist positions of abolishing the Fed and the like) that will strengthen the dollar, reduce debt, and help stabilize the economy. Booms and busts can never be prevented but depressions and recessions can be avoided with a sustainable, stable monetary policy. Finally, Nathan presents strategies for investing in gold now and in the future. Readers will learn that the international run toward gold is not a fad but a world in monetary transition. Everyone needs to understand what this means for their investments and their spending and saving.

  Taxes Have Consequences - An...

  The definitive history of the effect of the income tax on the economy. 
   
   
   
  Ever since 1913, when the United States first imposed the income tax via constitutional amendment, the top rate of that tax has determined the fate of the American economy. When the top rate has been high, as in the late 1910s, the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1970s, the response of those with money and capital has been to curtail real economic activity in favor of protecting assets and income streams. Huge declines have come to the economy in these circumstances. The most brutal example was the Great Depression itself. When the top tax rate has been cut and held at reduced levels—as in the 1920s, the 1960s, in the long boom of the 1980s and 1990s, and briefly in the late 2010s—astonishing reversals have occurred. The rich have brought their money out of hiding and put it to work in the economy. The huge swings in the American economy since 1913 have had an inverse relationship to income tax rates.
