Summary

The availability of low-cost energy from fossil fuels – in particular oil – has been the driving force behind postwar global economic growth, such that the petroleum industry has some of the world’s largest companies. This book examines the economics of the oil and gas industry, from exploration, development and production, to transportation, refining and marketing. At each stage of the value chain, the key economic costs and considerations are presented in order to provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the workings of the industry.  The book examines some of the unique economic challenges the industry faces, including negotiating international contracts with host countries (to gain access to hydrocarbons), managing the risks of recovery, implementing cross-border pipelines, dealing with huge variations in the taxation of refined products, and reacting to the effect of price control and subsidization in the OPEC nations which can create massive volatility in pricing. The search for low-carbon fuels, the impact of shale gas, the prospect of finite reserves, and the global political realities of the competing demands of oil-importing and oil-exporting countries are shown to make the sector high risk, but the economic rewards can be huge.

    Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel | Book Summary | Abbey Beathan 
    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.) 
    The definitive book for entrepreneurs looking to innovate instead of following the herd. 
    It's easier to copy something that has already been done instead of doing something entirely new, that's why the vast majority of people copies. But what if you strive to be different? Instead of competing with other startups, you decide to create something entirely new? What happens if you generate an innovative product and you do it better than anyone else? Monopoly, that's what happens and that's where you should be aiming at. 
    (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way) 
    "Monopoly is the condition of every successful business." – Peter Thiel 
    Zero to One teaches you the importance of doing what has never been done before. It's all about how to build companies that are focused on creating new things. Peter Thiel, as a co-founder of PayPal has a lot to share with us about how to build successful startups. It's definitely a book that should be on your nightstand if you want to be the next big thing. 
    Start thinking about building startups based on principles instead of formulas. Zero to One offers the right mindset to start creating something amazing.

    A seminal work on how public opinion is created and shaped, Edward Bernays's 1923 classic Crystallizing Public Opinion set down the principles that corporations and government have used to influence public attitudes over the past century. 
    A primer on the then new profession of "public relations counsel," Crystallizing elucidates the "instruments and techniques" that PR professionals use to mold public opinion on behalf of their client's interests. By adapting the ideas that Bernays put forth in this book, governments and advertisers have been able to "regiment the mind like the military regiments the body."

  • Negotiating to Expand the Pie so Everyone Gets More but Pays Less - Everything You Need to Know - Easy Fast Results - It Works; and It Will Work for You - cover

    Negotiating to Expand the Pie so...

    Expanding the pie so that all parties get more, while paying less, builds strong and trusting long-term working relationships. Everyone loves working with someone who allows them to get more by paying less. You'll secure yourself a number of happy long-term business partners. 
    While some negotiation tactics use strength, the most effective tactics use intelligence, strategy, and finesse. Here's why: The most crucial skill for you to have - as a negotiator - is the ability to make the other party feel they've won the negotiation and obtained a great outcome - even if, when dividing up the pie, you've secured most of the pie for yourself. You want the other party to be willing to do business with you again in the future, and also to give you great reviews, references, and referrals. 
    To accomplish the objectives above, you'll learn negotiation tactics that combine timeless relationship building skills, scientifically proven principles of influence and persuasion, and the best strategies from The Art of War by Sun Tzu - the classic 2,000-year-old Chinese military strategy book. You'll ensure the other party feels they've been treated fairly and obtained a great outcome, even if, when dividing up the pie, you've secured most of the pie for yourself. 
    The truth is, all that's necessary to get the results you want is for you to do a few basic fundamentals really well. Doing the basic fundamentals really well is always the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to get excellent results. Don't waste time on trendy advice that quickly fizzles out. Instead, learn timeless fundamentals that will always be relevant. 
    You'll be able to start applying what you've learned immediately after you've finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.
