  The Startup Hats is a street-smart, practical and entertaining guide to starting your company. It provides entrepreneurs with both the skills and attitude necessary to grow their ventures. In this book David lays out a concise overview of each role every entrepreneur must master – from banker to salesman to manager. Unlike most professions that require that you master only one role, successful entrepreneurship dictates that you embrace multiple roles on a daily basis. The ability to mentally switch between these roles is the secret to ensuring your startup will survive and thrive. Depending on your strengths and personality, you will gravitate towards some roles more than others but ignore any one of them at your peril. This is a must-read for aspiring, new and even seasoned entrepreneurs.

  Now available in audio for the first time! Darrell Huff's celebrated classic "How to Lie With Statistics" is a straight-forward and engaging guide to understanding the manipulation and misrepresentation of information that could be lurking behind every graph, chart, and infographic. Originally published in 1954, it remains as relevant and necessary as ever in our digital world where information is king—and as easy to distort and manipulate as it is to access.     A pre-cursor to modern popular science books like Steven D. Levitt's "Freakonomics" and Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers", Huff runs the gamut of every popularly used type of statistic, probes such things as the sample study, the tabulation method, the interview technique, or the way the results are derived from the figures, and points up the countless number of dodges which are used to full rather than to inform. Critically acclaimed by media outlets like The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and recommended by Bill Gates as a perfect beach read, "How to Lie With Statistics" stands as the go-to book for understanding the use of statistics by teachers and leaders everywhere. "A hilarious exploration of mathematical mendacity…. Every time you pick it up, what happens? Bang goes another illusion!" — The New York Times"In one short take after another, Huff picks apart the ways in which marketers use statistics, charts, graphics and other ways of presenting numbers to baffle and trick the public. The chapter “How to Talk Back to a Statistic” is a brilliant step-by-step guide to figuring out how someone is trying to deceive you with data." — Wall Street Journal"A great introduction to the use of statistics, and a great refresher for anyone who's already well versed in it." — Bill Gates"Mr. Huff's lively, human-interest treatment of the dry-as-bones subject of statistics is a timely tonic…This book needed to be written, and makes its points in an entertaining, highly readable manner."— Management Review"Illustrator and author pool their considerable talents to provide light lively reading and cartoon far which will entertain, really inform, and take the wind out of many an overblown statistical sail." — Library Journal"A pleasantly subversive little book, guaranteed to undermine your faith in the almighty statistic." — Atlantic

  This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
    
  Book 1: Are you nervous about your job interview? 
    
  Do you have the feeling that you are not prepared to face an invasive number of questions about your accomplishments and career choices? 
    
  Well, have no fear, my friend. You are at the right address. This book can guide you along. Topics that will be discussed in this book include how to make a lasting first impression, asking specific questions about your motivation, how to dress, what to bring, how to react on the phone (if applicable), how to show your interviewer that you are listening and interacting, etc. 
    
    
    
    
  Book 2: This book will lead you in your next job interview. It will help you understand the reasons why interviewers ask specific questions and how to answer them. Being prepared for those questions can increase your chances of getting the job you want. 
  It will also show you which questions are smart to ask your potential future employer, because, as opposed to what some people may suppose, this is an important part of the interview to show how passionate you may be about your future job. 
  Last but not least, most people forget to follow up and simply wait for the interviewer to contact them. This is a big mistake. If you want to stand out among the crowd, it is important to follow up after the interview, and show how driven and motivated you are.
