Publisher's Summary:

Do you remember what it's like to be a kid? No, I'm not talking about high school or middle school. I mean being a kid - like being back in preschool or on the first day of day care. I want you to take yourself back to the time when you were a small child because I want you to remember the feeling of invincibility that we are all born with.

Do you know what I am talking about? It's the feeling that made you think that you could grow up to be a superhero and save the world, or that if you jumped on your trampoline hard enough you could take off and fly like Superman. Unfortunately, for many of us, those few fleeting moments of our childhoods were the last times we felt true confidence.

This simple mental exercise of transporting yourself back in time is intended to help you realize that you weren't born this way. This version of you that you now want to change, the one that you wish was a little more outgoing and more confident, is not what you started out as.

The way you feel today - with fear, doubt, and insecurity flooding your mind with every step you take - is simply an outward representation of all the things that caused you pain as a child. Let me try to explain it this way: Did you ever hear your doctor say that a fever isn't a disease? If running a fever is not an illness, then what is it? It's a symptom.

Ali Julia review

Joe Montana is the man!

Great read!!

If I was reading this book in the car and got into an accident and totaled my car I would not be mad.

The best way if your are going to try and accomplish something is to try and mimic someone who has done it before. Joe Montana has been to the Superbowl 4 times and won every single time, I think I want to get my winning principles from him.

Joe Montana's tireless work ethic showed itself in gamedays. The game itself is only 60 minutes but he might be prepping for it for 40 hours that week. For Today is when we preapre for tomorrow.

I love Joe Montana and I love this book. Great read. Simple and plain conversion into applying to our own lives.

WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US?

Five Stars

Loved this book. Two incredibly bright men who share wonderful insight and principles. Highly recommend reading this.

Excellent Advice for Any Athlete

I find this book to have some great advice on dealing with adversity and succeeding. Highly recommended to any athlete at any level who wished to find an edge.

Publisher's Summary:

Summary of #AskGaryVee by Gary Vaynerchuk | Includes Analysis

Preview:

#AskGaryVee is entrepreneur and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk's guide to leadership and media. Structured in the form of questions and answers, #AskGaryVee follows the model of Vaynerchuk's YouTube show, in which he responds to a wide variety of inquiries - both personal and professional - from his followers. The book returns to questions that Vaynerchuk was asked on the show during the past two years in an attempt to update his responses, change his view on certain points, and consolidate the information scattered across hundreds of episodes of a web series into a single handbook for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Every company in every kind of business also needs to think like a media company. Whether a business is selling wine, dog chews, or cars, the prevalence of digital media means that to abstain from speaking to your audience is to cease to exist.

Please note: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Members Reviews:

Great content and incredible value.

This is a Summary and Analysis about "#AskGaryVee: One Entrepreneur's Take on Leadership, Social Media, and Self-Awareness," by New York Times bestselling author Gary Vaynerchuk. This is your essential guide to making things happen in a big way whether youâre planning to start your own company, working in digital media, or have landed your first job in a traditional company.

This summary book provides the reader information on the overview of the book, important people, key takeaways, and analysis of key takeaways. The 8 key takeaways explore the most important aspects of building a company. He distills and expands on the showâs most urgent and evergreen themesâincluding marketing, entrepreneurship, and managementâwith his trademark practical, timely, and timeless advice. He even gets personal by sharing new stories and lessons learned from years of working in a family business, raising children, getting healthy, and just being GaryVee.

This is a good quick read specially for those who don't want to dive in straight into reading all 384 pages of the original book. It will help you with your decision making whether or not to purchase the original book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review.

Not As Entertaining As Gary Vaynerchuk's #AskGaryVee

I'm torn, on one hand this Instaread does a good job of distilling down the concepts from #AskGaryVee the problem though is the concepts are pretty simple and not all that engaging when divorced from the panache of Gary Vaynerchuk. And perhaps, seeing the advice from his book so succinctly delivered it's easy to see that the appeal of Gary Vee isn't just his advice (which is generally solid and mirrors hisJab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World) but the style he delivers is.

Gary Vaynerchuk is as much an entertainer as he is a business advisor, and stripped away from that style the concepts seem kinda dull and simple.

Instaread provided a discounted copy for review, but that didn't impact my review or rating in any way.

A guide to your social media presence

Gary Vaynerchuk is an internet personality who dominates at profitization of his social media influence.

Despite the fact that these two systems have distinctive functions, they do work together to help people assess their surroundings and guide them during the decision-making process.

Terrific Summary

Where does Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow Summary rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Ant Hive Media strikes again - tackling a very challenging book. They do a great job hitting the most relevant topics. It's really more of a verbal outline but it's effective and there's enough content to keep you mighty intrigued.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoy learning and these audio book summaries have been a real boon for my long morning drives to work. The production is top notch and very professional. I'm impressed!

Tiring

The book is tiring, takes a lot of effort to finish and sometimes is confusing.

Title: How Women Decide

Subtitle: What's True, What's Not, and What Strategies Spark the Best Choices

Author: Therese Huston

Narrator: Susan Boyce

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-10-16

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Narratives about decision making are often inadvertently tailored primarily to men. Meanwhile, narratives about women in business overlook decision making or offer advice that is unhelpful and can even backfire.

How Women Decide fills this gap. It takes on the very real psychological and cultural obstacles women face, asks how these affect decision making, and suggests practical changes for approaching important choices.

Using the latest research and her interviews with women in many fields, Huston breaks down the myths and facts around intuition, self-perception, risk assessment, and more. In this guide she persuasively argues that, contrary to popular opinion, women shouldn't feign inflated confidence indiscriminately.

Critic Reviews:

"Susan Boyces spot-on performance conveys the intellectual confidence needed for this enlightening book on decision-making and gender. Her flawless phrasing and nuanced tone palette promote respect for the authors scholarship and suggestions." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Excellent insights and information based on data and research

Excellent insights and information based on data and research. I was surprised to see some of my own flawed actions/misconceptions discussed in the book. Each chapter ends with quick lists of things to remember and helpful techniques to utilize.

Not just for women. This book reveals why it is important to have both male and female perspectives in decision making. Of particular interest is how the two genders tend to react differently in crisis or high pressure situations.

Well written with great examples and entertaining vignettes that bring the principles home and often leave you smiling.

This is a must-read book for all women and also for managers - men and women!

This is a must-read book for all women and also for managers - men and women! It is packed with practical advice and simple steps you can do today to make a difference in your own decision-making process. It even has advice for on how to deal with your loved ones when they make bad decisions. I especially liked the research backing up the claims in this book. Managers, both men and women, can learn a lot from this book about how to level the playing field for women in the workplace. Companies would be wise to have women decision-makers on their boards because the evidence in this book shows that the companies make better decisions and do better financially. I've already read it twice! We invited the author, Therese Huston, to come speak and do a book discussion to our women faculty at our university and the attendees couldn't say enough great things about the book and the author's presentation. Do yourself a favor today and read this book!

I love the tone of this book.

I love the tone of this book. In sensitive and always well-balanced arguments, supported by ample evidence and anecdotes, Dr. Huston explains gender difference. Always affirming, Dr. Huston explains why this matters not only to women, but to the world, and--most importantly--to decisions. The conclusion: decisions are better when women participate, and when women lead. Too often, stereotypes, unfair systems, or simple lack of awareness, keep women from achieving. Dr. Huston gently reveals the underlying reasons, and offers simple, yet meaningful ways to respond.

Title: Clear Thinking via Intuition and Discipline

Subtitle: Hugging a Cloud, Book 2

Author: Pete Geissler

Narrator: Harry Roger Williams III

Format: Unabridged

Length: 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-25-16

Publisher: The Expressive Press

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

This book is about the aspects of leadership that are difficult to measure but impossible to ignore. It implores leaders to adopt new ways to think, behave, and relate to create profits and meaning, to create that elusive and euphoric state of knowing what really matters today and in the distant future.

In this age of information, innovation, and speed, the human side of business has become the differentiator in the race for sustainable competitive advantage, and the Profits + Meaning Index (PMI) could combine with financial ratios to become the new, more realistic way to simultaneously evaluate the short- and long-term prospects of a business and its leadership.

Please note: PMI is only for enlightened leaders willing and able to grasp it; it is useful only for leaders who will venture beyond the suffocating scope of conventional thinking.

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about how to lead people from a Navy SEAL's perspective in a fraction of the time it takes to listen to the actual book!

This is a book for anyone wanting to learn to be a better leader. While it does contain stories of wartime, it is about what Jocko and Leif learned that led them to victory. A way to construct, educate, and motivate your teams to accomplish the goals you have set forth. Most leadership books focus on the individual; even corporate training programs seem to follow the same guidelines. But to have strong leadership, you need to have a strong team. There will come a time when a leader and his or her team fails; it is a fact of life. Mistakes happen, but we can learn from them and become better from having gone through them. When everything seems to be up in the air and you've got a lot of balls that you are juggling, you have to remember to relax, look around, and make a call.

This may not be a war your company is engaging in, but you still need to decide what is most important out of all you've got going on and make a decision about that one thing. Great leadership is the reason behind the success of any team, and that isn't just the senior leaders but the junior leaders as well. It takes everyone doing his or her part to make it a success. The best leaders don't care about the tiny parts they play in the process and how to make themselves outshine everyone else; the best leaders just want the project to be a success and do what they need to do to help it along.

A little on the dry side. I'm glad I listened to the short version and not the full book.

Too short

Summary too short. Disappointing and frustrating to want to hear the whole story and only hear few short comments.

A new permanent fixture on my coffee table - front and center

The only thing difficult about this book is putting it down. Fredda McDonald combines inspiration with her refined, distinctly Southern and usually humorous storytelling ways to take you on an unforgettable journey. I found that the lessons learned, my 'take-aways,' from this book are highly valuable not only in the workplace as I focus on my career, but throughout life in general. In each chapter, she paints such a vivid picture through her words that the insight gained can be remembered for a lifetime. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
