Sinopsis

"Famous School Dropouts" explores the lives of individuals who achieved remarkable success despite not completing traditional schooling. This biography-driven career guide challenges the conventional notion that formal education is the sole determinant of success, spotlighting figures who thrived through alternative learning and self-directed learning.

 
The book emphasizes that innate talent, personal drive, and adaptability often outweigh academic credentials, providing a fresh perspective on career paths and unconventional success. The book presents case studies of famous dropouts, examining their backgrounds and the pivotal moments that shaped their journeys. It reveals how resilience and experiential learning played crucial roles in their accomplishments. For example, many found success through apprenticeships and mentorships, highlighting the power of practical experience.

 
The narrative explores how these individuals redefined success on their own terms, often finding fulfillment outside established career norms. Structured to offer both inspiration and actionable insights, the book progresses from historical context to individual profiles and finally to practical advice for carving one's own path. It's valuable for students questioning the traditional system, young adults exploring alternative options, and anyone intrigued by the lives of those who defied convention, adding to the debate around education reform.

    Why is it that some people have all the elements of success—education, skills, integrity, motivation—but can't seem to move from effectiveness to excellence in their careers? Behavior expert Joe Navarro reveals the long-sought answer. Louder Than Words teaches how to master nonverbal intelligence, the ability to interpret and use nonverbal signals—in poker terms, "tells"—in business to assess and influence others. 
    Drawing on his decades in the behavioral sciences, Navarro shows how to use his simple yet powerful "comfort/discomfort" model to decode what's really being said at meetings, interviews, negotiations, presentations, business meals, and more, including the casual exchanges that often impact decisions and reputations. 
    Jump-start your career as you discover how to: 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
      Read body language to understand what clients, coworkers, interviewers, or interviewees are thinking, feeling, or intending, and discern nonverbal cues of concern, disagreement, or doubt—even over the phone  Master the all-important first impression and use settings, seating, and gestures to inspire and captivate  Recognize habits that send the wrong message, from nail biting to wearing inappropriate attire—and see what posture, work practices, workspaces, and even electronic habits say about people  Become culturally aware and gender-sensitive, from best handshake practices to personal space preferences  Learn what the "comfort dividend" can do for you and your business  Explore how the concept of "curbside appeal" applies to you and your business, and can mean the difference between average and exceptional 
    Use Louder Than Words to close the deal, keep your customers, secure new ones, and lead your company with confidence. For job seekers looking to stand out from the pack, this book is your get-back-to-work bible.

    Supermoney focuses on the organizational and institutional impact of money and how it moves through society. "The green stuff in your wallet is not the real money," writes "Smith." There is a superior currency which Smith christens "Supercurrency" -- income that has been sent through the prism of the markets. Between the earners of income and the holders of the Supercurrency is a tremendous gap -- one that leads people instinctively to the market. All investors need to learn the nature of the Supercurrency. Its power has bent the course of American business and even the seemingly precise numbers of accounting. Supermoney recounts the crisis weekends in 1970 when the market mechanism barely survived and the markets melted down. Some of the basic questions that were debated at the time are still considered: can money really be managed? can funds perform? what happens to individuals in a market dominated by professionals? was the idea that things would get better and better a phenomenon of a particular time. All this is told in the light, bright, funny style 'Adam Smith' has been renowned for four decades.

    Leadership from Bad to Worse -...

    Leadership from Bad to Worse is about how leadership that is bad, invariably, inexorably, gets worse—unless it is somehow, by someone or something, stopped or slowed. 
     
     
     
    This work draws on four cases of bad leadership—two in political leadership, two in business leadership—to show how it goes from bad to worse. Kellerman finds that bad leadership and bad followership go through four phases of development: 1) Onward and Upward; 2) Followers Join In; 3) Leaders Start In; and 4) Bad to Worse. These findings correctly suggest that the book, in addition to being of theoretical interest, is of practical import. It is intended, deliberately, to serve as an early warning system. By breaking bad leadership and followership into phases—each more ominous and ultimately dangerous than the one preceding—their progression will be easier to predict and detect. And easier, therefore, to slow or, preferably, to stop before they turn toxic. 
     
     
     
    Bad leadership is a social disease. But unlike diseases that are physical or psychological, it remains at the margins of our collective concerns. Leadership from Bad to Worse is, then, a corrective. Knowing that bad leadership can be checked before it corrupts is knowing that bad and then worse can be, if not completely precluded, then sometimes short-circuited.

    What would you do if there was a tool to help you make better decisions in less time? You'd jump at the chance, wouldn't you? 
    Mental models help you filter information, which allows you to see things more clearly and make better decisions. 
    Mental models are also a shortcut to finding the quickest and the best route to solve your problems, whether work-related or personal. 
    The beauty of mental models is that their variety is virtually infinite, and they help you come up with solutions for just about any issue. 
    So you're thinking about opening a business. You're not sure what kind of business will be best. The law of Supply and Demand can help. It dictates that companies provide the goods and services demanded by the public. The most profitable companies are those that do this best. 
    Armed with this knowledge, you can now narrow down your options considerably. 
    "Developing the habit of mastering the multiple models that underlie reality is the best thing you could do," according to Charlie Munger, who credits his success to the lifetime cultivation of a "latticework" of mental models on which to frame his decisions. 
    The problem with the average person's mental models is that most are not designed to handle complexity. 
    And while the conscious use of mental models is possible, they require higher-order thinking skills that few people engage in for various reasons. But that doesn't have to be you! 
    Inside you'll find:How mental models declutter your thinking and stimulate decision-making (warning: immediate impact on 4 cognitive processes!)The Master List of mental models (including the best two used by Munger)3 characteristics that help you to spot an excellent mental modelWhy we don't use mental models and what we tend to do insteadHow to make your mental toolkit resemble a Swiss army knife in 5 steps
