  Clockwork: Design Your Business to Run Itself , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min

  Do you worry that your business will collapse without your constant presence? Are you sacrificing your family, friendships, and freedom to keep your business alive? What if instead your business could run itself, freeing you to do what you love when you want, while it continues to grow and turn a profit? It's possible. And it's easier than you think. If you're like most entrepreneurs, you started your business so you could be your own boss, make the money you deserve, and live life on your own terms. In reality, you're bogged down in the daily grind, constantly putting out fires, answering an endless stream of questions, and continually hunting for cash. Now, Mike Michalowicz, the author of Profit First and other small-business best sellers, offers a straightforward step-by-step path out of this dilemma. In Clockwork, he draws on more than six years of research and real-life examples to explain his simple approach to making your business ultra-efficient. Among other powerful strategies, you will discover how to:Make your employees act like owners: Free yourself from micromanaging by using a simple technique to empower your people to make smart decisions without you. Pinpoint your business's most important function: Unleash incredible efficiency by identifying and focusing everyone on the one function that is most crucial to your business.Know what to fix next: Most entrepreneurs try to fix every inefficiency at once and end up fixing nothing. Use the "weakest link in the chain" method to find the one fix that will add the most value now.Whether you have a staff of one, 100, or somewhere in between, whether you're a new entrepreneur or have been overworked and overstressed for years, Clockwork is your path to finally making your business work for you. ungekürzt.

  Range

  The #1 New York Times bestseller that has all America talking: as seen/heard on Morning Joe, CBS This Morning, The Bill Simmons Podcast, Rich Roll, and more. Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award "The most important business-and parenting-book of the year." -Forbes "Urgent and important. . . an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance." -Daniel H. Pink "So much crucial and revelatory information about performance, success, and education." -Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet "As David Epstein shows us, cultivating range prepares us for the wickedly unanticipated… a well-supported and smoothly written case on behalf of breadth and late starts." -Wall Street Journal Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world's top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule. David Epstein examined the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. He discovered that in most fields-especially those that are complex and unpredictable-generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They're also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can't see. Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive.

  30 Days to Diamond: The Ultimate League of Legends Guide to Climbing Ranked in Season 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 143min

  Before I tell you what 30 Days to Diamond is about, let me tell you what it isn't. This book is not the next three-dollar booklet promising you all the "tips and tricks" nobody else knows. Any book that makes such a claim is ridiculous, misleading, and a waste of time. 30 Days to Diamond is 143 minutes worth of specialized teaching, produced by a Master Tier player on both EUW and EUNE servers. It teaches all technical, strategic, and psychological aspects of the game, from A to Z, in a very unique and effective manner. If there's anything I've learned after mentoring over 60 silver and bronze players, it's that anyone, and I mean anyone, has the potential to become a Diamond level player within a very short time, even if still new to League. In spite of all the information available online, the majority of League's community still struggle to achieve their goals in Ranked. Nowadays, there are so many Twitch streams, YouTube channels, and websites dedicated to teaching the game, and yet the results are just not there for the majority. Improving from Silver to Gold is nice, but this is so much less than what progress should look like for most. Being a teacher in real life, the question I got absorbed in was: What prevents people from mastering the game to the level they want, despite them having access to all the information they need? We are talking about hundreds of thousands of players that play ranked. That's a lot of people. Why is it that so many folks may spend weeks, and even months, watching Challenger streams, play League for 5+ hours a day, and still not improve at the rate they could? This inefficiency is not due to the people playing the game, or the information they learn from. It all has to do with how effective learning takes place. A person's ability to learn from a piece of information is enhanced only to the degree to which they can relate to it at that specific moment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan McDermott.

  This New Ocean (eBook, ePUB)

  It was all part of man's greatest adventure--landing men on the Moon and sending a rover to Mars, finally seeing the edge of the universe and the birth of stars, and launching planetary explorers across the solar system to Neptune and beyond. The ancient dream of breaking gravity's hold and taking to space became a reality only because of the intense cold-war rivalry between the superpowers, with towering geniuses like Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolyov shelving dreams of space travel and instead developing rockets for ballistic missiles and space spectaculars. Now that Russian archives are open and thousands of formerly top-secret U.S. documents are declassified, an often startling new picture of the space age emerges: the frantic effort by the Soviet Union to beat the United States to the Moon was doomed from the beginning by gross inefficiency and by infighting so treacherous that Winston Churchill likened it to "dogs fighting under a carpet"; there was more than science behind the United States' suggestion that satellites be launched during the International Geophysical Year, and in one crucial respect, Sputnik was a godsend to Washington; the hundred-odd German V-2s that provided the vital start to the U.S. missile and space programs legally belonged to the Soviet Union and were spirited to the United States in a derring-do operation worthy of a spy thriller; despite NASA's claim that it was a civilian agency, it had an intimate relationship with the military at the outset and still does--a distinction the Soviet Union never pretended to make; constant efforts to portray astronauts and cosmonauts as "Boy Scouts" were often contradicted by reality; the Apollo missions to the Moon may have been an unexcelled political triumph and feat of exploration, but they also created a headache for the space agency that lingers to this day. This New Ocean is based on 175 interviews with Russian and American scientists and engineers; on archival documents, including formerly top-secret National Intelligence Estimates and spy satellite pictures; and on nearly three decades of reporting. The impressive result is this fascinating story--the first comprehensive account--of the space age. Here are the strategists and war planners; engineers and scientists; politicians and industrialists; astronauts and cosmonauts; science fiction writers and journalists; and plain, ordinary, unabashed dreamers who wanted to transcend gravity's shackles for the ultimate ride. The story is written from the perspective of a witness who was present at the beginning and who has seen the conclusion of the first space age and the start of the second.

  Trapped in a Corrupt School District (eBook, ePUB)

  Born and mostly educated in Italy, at a young age I immigrated to Quebec, Canada, where I taught Latin to French speaking high school students. Then, I earned a Ph.D. degree in French and Latin at the University of Ontario. My dream came true when in 1967 I entered the USA as French instructor at a college in central Kansas and later at the University of Tennessee. Alas, due to the declining enrollment in the foreign languages at the University, three years later I lost my untenured job. Next, being just a part-time French instructor in a catholic college, I took a full-time teaching job in the public school district of Fairview, a medium-sized town in the Appalachian Plateau. I taught French and Latin to high school freshmen. There I was appreciated by everybody and three years later I was granted tenure. With the advent of a new school superintendent, Tom Jones, in 1980 the tide suddenly turned. He advocated that the school district did not need a teacher with a Ph.D. degree and, most of all, that as a "European" I was unqualified to teach in his American schools. He decided that I had to go. Unable to find a legitimate reason to get rid of me, he started building a termination case for "gross inefficiency". For that purpose, Jones replaced my honest principal with Frank Grossman, an awkward and loyal bootlicker who had no knowledge of French and Latin. For four years Grossman made my life extremely miserable. He sat in my classroom almost fifty times and, if so to speak I taught that planet Earth is round, he documented that I said it is square. Yet, nothing could justify my dismissal. In spring 1982, Jones indefinitely laid off 67 untenured teachers for alleged financial problems. I was the only tenured teacher among them. Later, the school board ordered to rehire all 67 teachers, because the lay-off was unjustified. Yet, Jones refused to rehire me. Finally, he made me ransom my tenured job by making me drop a couple of pending grievances. Exasperated by his repeated failures to get rid of me, Jones announced in the local news that I was "the poorest teacher in the school district" and that he had no choice but to let me go. To achieve his resolve, he had Grossman triple the efforts to fabricate as much negative documentation as possible. Grossman even used a few teachers, students, parents, and substitute teachers to support his efforts. To further mortify and disgrace me, he had me sit in other teachers' classroom to learn how to teach French and Latin in America. He ordered me to take additional college classes to qualify to teach those languages at the first year level. Two school administrators and three outsiders were hired to sit in my classes and prepare negative reports. None of them knew French and Latin. I became a laughing stock in the entire school district. The maltreatment became so callous that my doctor placed me on sick leave for 30 days, because of an "acute anxiety syndrome". After four years of relentless and undignified torment, in March 1984, Supt. Jones had his rubber stamp school board fire me for alleged "inability" to teach French and Latin even at the first year level. Even my foreign "accent" and my alleged "European way of teaching" were given as termination grounds. Yes, my sick leave was also used to claim that I was "physically unable to teach". Since previously I had been a successful teacher in catholic schools, Jones had the insolence to advise that I should seek employment in catholic schools, as if those were inferior. This book describes the incredible, despicable, and appalling persecution, mistreatment, and humiliation I endured in that school district run by a corrupt superintendent and his accomplices. It is a shocking case of ignorance, bigotry and malice. ___________________________________________________________Notice: Although the events described in this book took place decades ago, they are still etched in my memory. I decided to recount them in this book as a personal healing and to warn teachers that such things can truly happen.
