Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking

The book that started the Quiet Revolution

At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society. 

In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts—from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.

The Servant: A Simple Story About the True Essence of Leadership

With a new introduction on using the principles of The Servant in your life and career, this book redefines what it means to be a leader.

In this absorbing tale, you watch the timeless principles of servant leadership unfold through the story of John Daily, a businessman whose outwardly successful life is spiraling out of control. He is failing miserably in each of his leadership roles as boss, husband, father, and coach. To get his life back on track, he reluctantly attends a weeklong leadership retreat at a remote Benedictine monastery.

To John’s surprise, the monk leading the seminar is a former business executive and Wall Street legend. Taking John under his wing, the monk guides him to a realization that is simple yet profound: The true foundation of leadership is not power, but authority, which is built upon relationships, love, service, and sacrifice.

Along with John, you will learn that the principles in this book are neither new nor complex. They don’t demand special talents; they are simply based on strengthening the bonds of respect, responsibility, and caring with the people around you. The Servant‘s message can be applied by anyone, anywhere—at home or at work.

If you are tired of books that lecture instead of teach; if you are searching for ways to improve your leadership skills; if you want to understand the timeless virtues that lead to lasting and meaningful success, then this book is one you cannot afford to miss.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Enhanced Edition: A Leadership Fable (J-B Lencioni Series)

In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Patrick Lencioni once again offers a leadership fable that is as enthralling and instructive as his first two best-selling books, The Five Temptations of a CEO and The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive. This time, he turns his keen intellect and storytelling power to the fascinating, complex world of teams.

Kathryn Petersen, Decision Tech’s CEO, faces the ultimate leadership crisis: Uniting a team in such disarray that it threatens to bring down the entire company. Will she succeed? Will she be fired? Will the company fail? Lencioni’s utterly gripping tale serves as a timeless reminder that leadership requires as much courage as it does insight.

Throughout the story, Lencioni reveals the five dysfunctions which go to the very heart of why teams even the best ones-often struggle. He outlines a powerful model and actionable steps that can be used to overcome these common hurdles and build a cohesive, effective team. Just as with his other books, Lencioni has written a compelling fable with a powerful yet deceptively simple message for all those who strive to be exceptional team leaders.

Make Your Kid A Money Genius (Even If You’re Not): A Parents’ Guide for Kids 3 to 23

From Beth Kobliner, the author of the bestselling personal finance bible Get a Financial Life—a new, must-have guide showing parents how to teach their children (from toddlers to young adults) to manage money in a smart way.

Many of us think we can have the “money talk” when our kids are old enough to get it…which won’t be for years, right? But get this: Research shows that even preschoolers can understand basic money concepts, and a study from Cambridge University confirmed that basic money habits are formed by the age of seven. Oh, and research shows the number one influence on kids’ financial behaviors is mom and dad. Clearly, we can’t afford to wait.

Make Your Kid a Money Genius (Even If You’re Not) is a jargon-free, step-by-step guide to help parents of all income levels teach their kids—from ages three to twenty-three—about money. It turns out the key to raising a money genius isn’t to teach that four quarters equal a dollar or how to pick a stock. Instead, it’s about instilling values that have been proven to make people successful—not just financially, but in life: delaying gratification, working hard, living within your means, getting a good education, and acting generously toward others. More specifically, you’ll learn why allowance isn’t the Holy Grail when teaching your kid to handle money, and why after-school jobs aren’t always the answer either. You’ll discover the right age to give your kid a credit card, and learn why doling out a wad of cash can actually be a good parenting move.

You don’t need to be a money genius to make your kid a money genius. Regardless of your comfort level with finance—or your family’s income—this charming and fun book is an essential guide for passing along enduring financial principles, making your kids wise beyond their years—and peers—when it comes to money.

Invest and Profit Instantly: 20 Winning Habits to Cultivate to Make Money in the Stock Market (Faster Money Book 3)

Do you want to possess the power to make money from the market automatically?

What if the BIG secret of making money from the stock market consistently is not intelligence, but winning habits instead?

The great Vince Lombardi once said, “Winning is a habit, but unfortunately, so is losing. Warren Buffet publicly mocked the importance of high IQs among investors.

Hence, winning habit is the key to winning investments.

Have you slammed your keyboard or throw your laptop because of trading?

You have made $200 only to be down $500 the next 15 minutes. You started to feel a rush of blood to your head, your fist clenched, and your heartbeat went louder.

Next thing you knew you shouted and smashed your computer mouse to the wall.

Yeah, been there, done that.

85% of people are losing money in the market anyway as they gamble their money away, trading and investing without cultivating winning habits beforehand.

Cultivating winning habits require discipline. Indiscipline traders are prone to impulse trading.

Impulse trading means trading without plan and strictly based on gut feeling. Impulse trading also means trading based on someone else’s opinion or even CNBC news.

Without any discipline, the Mother Market will mercilessly take your money. This book won’t let it happen to you:
1) Identify and change the bad habits holding you back from money.
2) Free you up from the demon of trading indiscipline. This includes over-trading and revenge, impulsive trading.
3) Why most investors achieve stunningly poor returns on their money – and how to NOT become one of them.
4) How to have the confidence to make money consistently to pay your bills and other obligations.
5) How to avoid stressing out about your investments.
6) How to use the habits you cultivate to automatically execute investment plans.

Do you believe in your gut feeling when it comes to investing? Well, tell me honestly, how did your gut treat you in Vegas?

It is not instinct that makes money in the market. It is the right system and the right habits. This is the reason the legendary Peter Lynch once said “Natural-born investor is a myth.”

This book compliments the books like those of Alexander Elder and Van Tharp perfectly. Of course, if you want to learn deeper, the work of Mark Douglas is still the best resource out there.
