Synopsis

In "The Beggar's Purse: A Fairy Tale of Familiar Finance," Samuel Hopkins Adams explores the complexities of economics through a whimsical lens, blending satire and fantasy. This work challenges conventional views on wealth and financial systems by presenting a narrative where characters engage in a fantastical yet relatable economy. Adams employs a unique literary style that combines light-hearted dialogue with poignant social commentary, allowing readers to reflect on the realities of economic disparity while remaining entertained. The fairy tale structure further enriches the text, making difficult financial concepts accessible to a broad audience. Samuel Hopkins Adams, an influential American writer and journalist known for his critical examination of social issues, draws from his extensive experience in investigative journalism to imbue this narrative with earnest critique. His background in addressing the malpractices of modern capitalism, as evidenced in his other works, informs his perspective in this fairy tale, enabling him to convey significant truths about finance and social justice, all while maintaining a playful tone. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an engaging and thought-provoking narrative that critiques economic practices. Whether you are well-versed in financial matters or new to these themes, Adams' enchanting storytelling will inspire reconsideration of the nature of wealth and its impact on society.

There is no shortage of investors. The world has many of them. And you can be sure that some are extremely successful while others cry bitterly over their losses. 3. The reason why most investors fail is that theyapproach investing as though it were some lottery game. They are chance-takers. They have no plan. They stagger from one failed investment to another, taking stabs in the dark, and soon enough they lose all their money.4. This book has been written to help you become an intelligent investor.

    The CTO Playbook is a book for people who are working with developers in tech teams. Here you are going to get insights which can be useful when hiring, building products, choosing technology, leading and communicating. 
    Topics are divided into chapters about People, Work, Tech, Leadership and Communication. 
    The art of developing an application has been well described in various coding books that you can find gathering dust on almost all developers desks around the world. This is not that book. There may be some technical references, but astonishing few of them considering this is a CTO-book. And why’s that? This is a book for people who ended up in the situation of having to work with other people building applications — also known as “developers”. Fresh CTO’s, Product People or whoever is interested in leading dev teams can also benefit from reading this book. Spoiler alert: you will not learn to code here, nor do I have all the answers to everything. However I’ve put together my thoughts and experience based on working for various companies in various industries. Or, more importantly, working with different groups of people in different settings, getting an application together from scratch. So that’s what this book is about. Yep, there will be a few pointers and ideas. No, I’m not claiming to know it all. But you’ve read this far and now thinking if you want to continue to check out the rest, so why not? I’ve put together some topics where I think I could contribute. Happy reading!

    There are many companies that thrive on human capital. Technology services, sciences, creative occupations, all thrive on the skills and crafts of their workforce. Skills required for a particular task may vary over time. Re-skilling or up-skilling of employees will be required periodically to keep the workforce productive and effective.
    
    But this involves investment in time, money and resources on the part of the employer and the employees. How do business leaders view the crucial aspect of learning and skilling of workforce? Is it a cost or an un-necessary burden, often required because of competitive forces or regulation? Or can a highly trained or skilled workforce be a differentiator for an organization?
    
    In this episode, listen to insightful interviews from business leaders from two very diverse industries- consumer goods, and information technology.
    
    They say, in order to be a good author, one has to be a good reader. Maink Dhar is an accomplished author and Vice President and Managing Director South Asia with Kimberley Clark. How does he view learning and skilling when it comes to managing a business?
    
    Our second interview is with Vinod Uniyal, who till recently was Chief Technology Officer for Talent and Innovation with IBM. How does one of the largest technology companies in the world view the learning and training of their workforce?

    Discover the tools of leadership to revolutionize your workplace. 
    Tim Stevens traveled an alternative road—leaving high school and immediately joining a national non-profit organization. He rose quickly through the ranks of leadership, but nine years later left it all behind to help an upstart church get its footing. During the 20 years Stevens served as Executive Pastor at Granger Community Church near South Bend, Indiana, the ministry grew from a congregation of 300 to more than 5,000; from a staff of five to more than 130; with a preschool, restaurant, three campuses and more than 1,800 new churches planted in southern India. 
    Leaders learn by leading. Stevens knows that creating a healthy and successful organization requires throwing out the conventional instruction manual and writing one that balances practical lessons, spiritual truths, and twenty-first century realities—exactly what you will find in Fairness Is Overrated. 
    Stevens, now an executive with the Vanderbloemen Search Group, takes his lifetime of service and dispenses with conventional wisdom. Short, powerful chapters end with actionable discussion questions. Four pillars hold up every successful leader: Be a person of integrity. Identify the right people around you. Build a great culture. Lead through crisis. 
    This is a manual of doing, not talking. No fluff, no stale inspirational platitudes. It’s time to move past planning and kick-start Monday into action. 
    Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    Work-Life Balance is Goatsh*t! 
    Put an end to the madness of trying to juggle it all. Embark on a life-transforming journey toward orchestrating true life-work harmony. 
    Award-winning author Trina Celeste guides you through a 30-day exploration of introspection, self-discovery, and steps to seamlessly integrate your personal and professional life. Journaling questions help you develop a personalized roadmap aligning your actions with your true vision. 
    "Keep in the energy-consuming goats out while inviting in the gardeners of growth." 
    "Life-Work Harmony is an essential book, one that had to be written. Writing with great honesty and from painful experience, Trina Celeste shows exactly why our scientific approach to time management, repackaged as "work-life balance," no longer serves us. Our carefully composed to-do lists give us no time to hear the whispers that let us know what actually matters in our lives. Trina demonstrates how, by ripping off the balance band-aid and seeking harmony instead, we can regain momentum and be present for joy in our life." - Sally Helgesen, international best-selling author of, How Women Rise, Rising Together, The Female Advantage 
    "Trina makes the complex idea of living a life of purpose feel accessible. I could not agree more that the key to living your life in harmony is to understand yourself, your boundaries, and to protect your priorities. This book will show you how to do just that." - Jacki Zehner Founder, SheMoney and Co-Founder, Women Moving Millions
