Summary

In today's global economy, many companies are hiring for the wrong reasons. Choosing bright high-achievers based solely on their advanced degrees and diversity can be a significant mistake. To handle your marketing, branding, and sales in a marketplace that literally spans the world, you need a workforce with a deeper understanding and respect for other countries and their cultures.
 
 
 
Based on his years as a "laowai"—an outsider—working in Asia, Tyler Johnson provides valuable lessons on developing the essential soft skills and mindset for doing business with a foreign country and its people. He offers concrete guidance for finding employees with the right experience to maximize your company's opportunities, both domestically and overseas.
 
 
 
If you've been hesitant to expand your business into international markets because you're uncertain how to navigate the cultural challenges, Laowai can provide the roadmap you need.

    When did busy become a badge of honour? 
      
    In 10 on-the-couch sessions, New Zealand clinical psychologist Karen Nimmo diagnoses, explains and treats Busy as F*ck syndrome, the condition that's consuming us all, whether we realise it or not.  
      
      
    If we are going to squeeze the most from ourselves and our all-too-short lives, we need to be able to gauge when our Busy as F*ckness is compromising (or drip-feed destroying) our physical and emotional health, when we're hurting people we love and when we're becoming that person others want to hide from.  
    In these pages you'll meet people who are facing the problems most commonly reported in our Busy as F*ck worlds. Some will resonate with you - or you'll spot traits of people you know. Whenever you get an 'aha' moment, you'll find tips, tools and tactics to guide your own journey.

    Finally, discover the answers to your most pressing retirement questions… 
    When it comes to retirement, most people have some idea of what to expect. Once you stop working, you'll find yourself with more free time to pursue your passions, but you'll also be facing life on a fixed income. 
    But is that all there is to it? 
    According to the American College of Financial Services, nearly 7 in 10 Americans don't have a written retirement plan -- which is like having no plan at all. 
    Having an idea of what you want from retirement is a crucial first step, but have you taken the time to consider every aspect? 
    When you get down to it, retirement is so much more than making sure you have enough to live on. It's a social, emotional, and mental experience that totally changes your way of life. 
    With so much importance placed on being appropriately prepared for this next stage, it's no wonder that many people feel lost or frustrated with their attempts to plan ahead. 
    It feels as if everyone has a different opinion on what's best and where you should be devoting your time and attention. 
    C.B. McGee knows how you feel. 
    As an early retiree, he's followed the path that now lies ahead of you. Having navigated budgeting, travel, returning to work, and discovering his passions, he's now compiled all the information you'll need in this one simple guide.

    #1 Business Bestseller (Wall Street Journal, Amazon, USA Today) The Great Devaluation may be one of the most timely books ever written on the state of the global economy. Baratta sums it up simply enough with the following idea: "What seems crazy in normal times becomes necessary in a crisis."The Great Devaluation is the #1 bestselling book that explains why the real crisis facing the world today is not the Coronavirus. The real crisis facing the world is explosive government debt and deficits. Governments are now left with no choice but to spend more than they make, borrow more than they can ever repay, and devalue their currencies to cover it all up.Former Hollywood storyteller Adam Baratta brings monetary policy to life in this follow-up to his national bestseller, Gold Is A Better Way. You'll learn how and why Federal Reserve polices have facilitated an explosion in government debt and have systematically undermined the world financial system in the name of profit. The result? An out of control system where financial inequality has become a ticking time bomb set to blow up the global economy.
