gennonfic ebooks and Audio Books - by Daniel H. PinkForget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people - at work, at school, at home. It's wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his new and paradigm-shattering book DRIVE: THE SURPRISING... |
"Poppsychology/business guide debunks the increasingly antiquated concept of financial remuneration as a motivational tool and offers a better idea. It's easy to sell the notion that work could be considerably more fulfilling, but Wired contributing editor Pink (A Whole New Mind Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age, 2005, etc.) makes a compelling argument that actually sounds plausible and implementable. . . . the book's main premise is significant. The author presents an integral addition to a growing body of literature that argues for a radical shift in how businesses operate in a world dominated by technology, and soon to be led by a generation that doesn't necessarily equate money with happiness. Important reading for frustrated but open minded business leaders struggling to connect with stressed out workers." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Albom delivers a command . . . performance. He brings his two clergymen protagonists . . . to vivid life and conveys their messages of faith with sensitivity and respect. The audio's most memorable moments feature the humility and eccentricity of the two spiritual leaders who, despite their deep religious commitment, refuse to be placed on a pedestal. From the ailing Jewish leader breaking out into whimsical songs in the middle of his grueling medical treatments and his Christian counterpart savoring the joys of barbecuing, Albom's characterizations brim with humor and compassion."

This one is even better, funnier, and even more eyeopening than the first. It changes the way we think about the world, giving people different views from an angle so out here most people probably wouldn't have even made the connection without reading this book. And what's scary is that it is all so true!!! These two smart men and their adapted way of thinking will change the way you look at things for sure! Just by observing, thinking, and reporting their findings they have exposed the world for what it really it. Again. I don't really know what genre this ebook belongs in, just buy it!

"Journalist Gladwell has established himself on the nonfiction bestseller lists by breaking down complex social science research into approachable concepts that can spark discussion around water coolers and cafe tables. Some of Gladwell's critics fault him for zeroing in on compelling anecdotes that may not consistently add up to empirical proof, but his flair for narrative serves him well as a reader."

Brilliant! The author says, 'Free speech is meaningless if the commercial cacophony has risen to the point where no one can hear you.' This is why it is important not to let large companies dominate our purchases. This is why we need a free and professional press to transcend the chaos of the blogosphere (that the big corps ultimately can manipulate like putty). We need independents to hold on to our independence. Everyone needs to read this book, but few will because the big corps who in cooperation with the big banks, brokerage firms and government, have worn all of us down. When we have a moment to spare, we seek escapism to happy endings avoiding the real world in which we feel so hopeless. For hope of a happy ending in real life, start by reading this book and checking Naomi Klein out online at http//www.naomiklein.org.

When does a 'fad' – some people listening to music on small electronic devices – become the norm – everybody's got an Ipod? In 'The Tipping Point', Malcolm Gladwell examines how trends and ideas reach this crucial stage. By way of Hush Puppies, Blue's Clues and 'the search for the unsticky cigarette', he explains how ideas reach epidemic status. And Gladwell does this in an entertaining prose style, never less than fascinating and frequently outstanding. Gladwell's thoughts on ebooks would be interesting. (ebook version)
