  “It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.” ~Warren Buffet 
  Crisis manager George Pillari takes the reader through a series of real-life case studies to show us that decision making in tense situations is a skill to be learned and perfected. Different from most business books that talk about recipes for success (improve your habits, be more productive, etc.), Stupidities highlights what you need to avoid in order to be successful. 
  In his foreword to the book, Guy Kawasaki sums it up: 
  “80% of success is avoiding stupidity.” 
  We learn from the success and failures of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Holmes, Google X, JP Morgan, the New York Yankees, the Titan Sub, Thomas Edison, Taylor Swift, and others. 
  The Seven Deadly Stupidities: 
  Going for the Moonshot 
  Surrendering to FOMO 
  Relying on Family and Friends 
  Being Blinded by the Upside 
  Trusting the Media 
  Using Quick and Dirty Thinking 
  Neglecting to Measure Twice 
  There is the amazing story of Soviet General Petrov, who avoided all seven of the stupidities and prevented a global thermonuclear war. 
  The chapter-by-chapter format lets the reader thumb through and pick the order to read the book. The summary of each stupidity includes lessons learned and advice on how to avoid the stupidity and “be smarter.” 
  We are twice as likely to respond to negative events than positive ones. Pillari uses this behavioral sciences insight to guide the reader through how to learn from the failures of others and become a better decision-maker.

  “A powerful reclamation.”—AudioFileThe first comprehensive audiobook about Michael Stewart, the young Black artist and model who was the victim of a fatal assault by police in 1983, from Elon Green, the Edgar Award-winning author of Last Call.This program, read by multi Audie award-winning narrator Dion Graham, features a bonus conversation between the author and gallerist Patrick Fox, who rented Michael Stewart studio space in New York City.At twenty-five years old, Michael Stewart was a young Black aspiring artist, deejay, and model, looking to make a name for himself in the vibrant downtown art scene of the early 1980’s New York City. On September 15, 1983, he was brutally beaten by New York City Transit Authority police for allegedly tagging a 14th Street subway station wall.Witnesses reported officers beating him with billy clubs and choking him with a nightstick. Stewart arrived at Bellevue Hospital hog-tied with no heartbeat and died after thirteen days in a coma. This was, at that point, the most widely noticed act of police brutality in the city's history. The Man Nobody Killed recounts the cultural impact of Michael Stewart’s life and death.The Stewart case quickly catalyzed movements across multiple communities. It became a rallying cry, taken up by artists and singers including Madonna, Keith Haring, Spike Lee, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, tabloid legends such as Jimmy Breslin and Murray Kempton, and the pioneering local news reporter, Gabe Pressman. The Stewart family and the downtown arts community of 1980s New York demanded justice for Michael, leading to multiple investigations into the circumstances of his wrongful death.Elon Green, the Edgar Award–winning author of Last Call, presents the first comprehensive narrative account of Michael Stewart's life and killing, the subsequent court proceedings, and the artistic aftermath. In the vein of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace and His Name is George Floyd, Green brings us the story of a promising life cut short and a vivid snapshot of the world surrounding this loss. A tragedy set in stark contrast against the hope, activism, and creativity of the 1980’s New York City art scene, The Man Nobody Killed serves as a poignant reminder of recurring horrors in American history and explores how, and for whom, the justice system fails.A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

  The Artisan Author - The...

  Less rush. More freedom. A way to love writing again.  
  If modern indie publishing feels like a high-stress race to the bottom, the good news is there’s another way. 
  Most authors start writing for the love of it, but in recent years the reality of “writing for a living” has soured. Now, for a lot of us, it no longer looks fun — or creatively fulfilling — at all. 
  You have to obey genres exactly or your books won’t sell. If you step outside your lane and try something new, the kinds of readers most authors court will never buy it. And then there’s the SPEED of it all: The rules of “Rapid Release” say you have to publish a book every month — at least — or you’ll never survive. Forget about taking a vacation. Time off will let the algorithms forget you. 
  In The Artisan Author, industry veteran Johnny B. Truant offers an alternative to Rapid Release: a new way to succeed as an author without sacrificing your freedom, worrying about competition or AI, or fearing you’ll lose everything when the winds — or the algorithms — inevitably change. 
  The way of the Artisan Author is the opposite of Rapid Release. Instead of rushing to churn out the same-old same-old, Artisans follow their muse and write whatever they want. Instead of stressing out, Artisans take their time, putting as much care and beauty into their work as they desire. It’s a way to build a substantial, sustainable, bulletproof income based on Kevin Kelly’s idea of “1000 True Fans”: readers who are loyal to you, not any platform. True Fans are all you need to earn as much as you want as an author. They’re people with whom you build genuine human connections … and who therefore love you enough to spend far more than ordinary readers will ever spend.
