Title: Reach

Subtitle: A New Strategy to Help You Step Outside Your Comfort Zone, Rise to the Challenge, and Build Confidence

Author: Andy Molinsky

Narrator: Andy Molinsky

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-24-17

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 56 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Do you feel comfortable delivering bad news? Do you look forward to speaking in public? Do you enjoy networking? Is it easy for you to speak your mind and be assertive with friends and colleagues? If you answered no to any of these questions, this book can help!

What often sets successful people apart is their willingness to do things most of us fear. What's more, we have the false notion that successful people like to do these things, when the truth is that successful people have simply found their own way to do them.

According to Andy Molinsky, an expert on behavior in the business world, there are five key challenges underlying our avoidance tendencies: authenticity, competence, resentment, likability, and morality. Does the new behavior you're attempting feel authentic to you? Is it the right thing to do? Answering these questions will help identify the "gap" in our behavioral style that we can then bridge by using the three Cs: clarity, conviction, and customization. Perhaps most interesting, Molinsky has discovered that many people who confront what they were avoiding come to realize that they actually enjoy it and can even be good at it.

Short, prescriptive, and based not only on the author's groundbreaking research but on his own quest to get out of his comfort zone, Reach will help you take the thing you are most afraid of doing and make it a proud part of your personal repertoire.

Members Reviews:

This is an exceptionally well-written book and I highly recommend it.

I just finished reading Andy Molinksy's recent book called "REACH" and am very impressed. Andy captures so many of the issues I've been concerned about in my 30 years as a CEO and the last 10+ years as an international leadership coach. 80% of my coaching practice is with nonprofit leaders, many of whom struggle with integrating their comfort zones with the challenges they face as leaders. Andy has captured the essence of these challenges and provides a clear pathway for moving forwards. This is an exceptionally well-written book and I highly recommend it.

Pretty good book.

I read this for a mentoring book club thing we have at work and it was a good book. It resonated with me. With any self-help book you have to have the right mind set and be open to seeing your blind spots. I think this book has the potential to help people get out of their shell if they will allow it.

Okay but redundant

If I could give this 2.5 stars I would. It did contain a small number of principles that can be helpful to "reach" beyond your comfort zone. However, the author uses the same 4-5 "real world examples" to illustrate each of those principles. Additionally, the "real world examples" seem more theoretical than actual real world applications. The author being a college professor and speaker it is not surprising the book is lacking real world applications. That being said, if you do want to reach outside your comfort zone, reading this book will not hurt your effort

Practical and easy to read

Very easy read full of actionable ideas backed by research. I gained some strategies I needed to push myself.

Five Stars

BrillianT way to get beyond our coMforT Zones!

Title: How to be a Productivity Ninja

Subtitle: Worry Less, Achieve More and Love What You Do

Author: Graham Allcott

Narrator: Anthony Shuster

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

In the age of information overload, traditional time management techniques simply don't cut it when it comes to overflowing inboxes, ever-expanding to-do lists and endless pointless meetings. Thankfully there is a better way: the way of the productivity ninja. Using techniques including ruthlessness, mindfulness, Zenlike calm and stealth and camouflage, you will get your inbox down to zero, make the most of your attention, beat procrastination and learn to work smarter, not harder. Written by one of the UK's foremost productivity experts, How to be a Productivity Ninja is a fun, accessible and practical guide to staying cool, calm and collected, getting more done and learning to love your work again.

Members Reviews:

Good in parts but far too long.

The essential point which I took from this book was that you only have so much proactive attention in a day and that time needs to be protected and used wisely.

While there are other nuggets, much of the book fails to hit the mark. Perhaps it was just lost on audio but the authors system of organisation, Master Projects Lists, Daily Lists, Weekly Lists, dedicated thinking time each week just seems over prescriptive, especially for a business owner where the nature of the work can be extremely changeable and an element of thinking on ones feet is required.

Personally, I'm fairly organised anyway, I will take away some good points from this book, however the one size fits all system just seems a little too cumbersome for its own good.

Excellent and immensely practical

This book is written by a U.K. author and is free from some of the "live your dreams" and pseudo-religious idioms that plague American publications. This is essentially a very practical guide about being productive and organised. I suppose it's a time management book but is much more detailed and useful than most publications on the genre that follow only the GTD methods. Without going into great detail it assists you in designing your own personalised but flexible organisational systems, written primarily with work in mind but equally applicable to personal life. Excellent, specific and readily applicable advice throughout, it is also realistic in its aims and advice offered; accepting and working with the imperfections of our human mind and covering topics such as distractions and procrastination. Good advice on email and meetings. I really enjoyed this book having read many Time Management books over the years. It's differentiators are that it is UK focused and very specific and practical. I have instigated quite a number of its recommendations myself. Enjoy!

Beyond brilliant!

One of the best productivity and time management books I've ever read. I'd advise this to anyone looking to take control of their day and their time!

I am officially a Productivity Ninja in-training!!

As someone who has always been fairly disorganised, I can safely say that those days are now behind me!

Good book but..

I enjoyed this book and gained a couple bits of valuable information from it but felt that not all of it was applicable to me. Would be brilliant for someone who works in an office environment though.

Title: Impossible to Ignore

Subtitle: Creating Memorable Content to Influence Decisions

Author: Carmen Simon

Narrator: Barbara Hawkins-Scott

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-28-16

Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 38 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

A groundbreaking approach to creating memorable messages that are easy to process, hard to forget, and impossible to ignore - using the latest in brain science.

Audiences forget up to 90% of what you communicate. How can your employees and customers decide to act on your message if they only remember a 10th of it? How do you know which 10th they'll remember? How will you stay on their minds long enough to spark the action you need?

Many experts have offered techniques on how to improve your own memory, but not how to influence other people's memory - and impact their decisions. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology, Carmen Simon, PhD, reveals how to avoid the hazards of random recall and deliver just the right amount of content. No more redundant meetings, rambling emails, or anemic presentations. In Impossible to Ignore, she shows you how to execute a proven three-step plan for persuasion:

1. Create cues that attract attention and connect with your audience's needs

2. Use memory-influencing variables to control what your audience remembers

3. Turn today's intentions into tomorrow's actions

This practical guide is filled with case studies, examples, and a checklist to help you put the power of cognitive science to work for your business. Whether you're giving a presentation, conducting a meeting, delivering training, making a sales pitch, or creating a marketing campaign, these field-tested techniques will help you develop content that speaks to people's hearts, stays in their heads, and influences their decisions. It's not just memorable - it's Impossible to Ignore.

Members Reviews:

THIS IS THE ONE BOOK IN UNIVERSE TO INFLUENCE.....

If you could sum up Impossible to Ignore in three words, what would they be?

This is the One book in the universe to reveal the most powerful method to influencing prospective memories and retrospect memories!

What other book might you compare Impossible to Ignore to and why?

THIS IS THE ONLY ONE TO COMPARE WITH IT SELF

Which scene was your favorite?

Cue's retrieve memories execute action techniques!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I found this book is very very interesting informative and practical, to influencing memories and action, and i never found any books in this department.thank you author CARMEN SIMON.

Amazing Content - Better in hard copy

Would you consider the audio edition of Impossible to Ignore to be better than the print version?

Impossible to ignore was fantastic but extremely difficult to follow with audio only. There were several lists that I wished I had notes on, and I couldn't take notes because I listen to ebooks while I drive. Overall the content was excellent - it would just be easier to take in visually rather than audibly.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Impossible to Ignore?

I specifically liked the concept of queue/triggers. As a marketer, we're always trying to figure out how to make our clients' messages more powerful. The idea of setting triggers to cause the prospect to recall the service is super powerful It seems obvious after the fact - doing it consciously is another story.

What aspect of Barbara Hawkins-Scotts performance would you have changed?

The energy level just didn't resonate with me.

Title: Big Results

Subtitle: The Steps to Getting the Results You Want, and Why Setting Goals Never Works

Author: Robert Greene

Narrator: Chris Abernathy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-18-16

Publisher: Gilberto Chavez Jr

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 51 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

A lot of times, when people think about success, they immediately start to think about their goals. They look at their life and start to measure their accomplishments. I then ask these people, of their goals, how many they would say they accomplish in a year or month. In most cases, they have set goals but they have no idea of the steps or work it takes to accomplish them. I tell you, although we set goals, the outcome we desire is a specific set of results.

Let's look at the big picture: the reason why we set goals is because we would like an immediate result, so instead of focusing on the goal, let's focus on the result we want. To me, when I hear the word "goal," I mainly think of wishful thinking. I have no idea how to make this goal a reality, and I know plenty of people who work hard and don't get the result they wanted. Is it possible that, in the process of working toward that goal, they lost sight of the result intended? Or is it possible that they didn't plan the necessary steps to reach the goal/result?

Members Reviews:

Good information

Short and to the point. He says most goals are just wishes without any action or plan of action.

Straight to the point.

This book gives you the meat and potatoes of what you need to do to accomplish the things you want.

Odd, Pointless Listen

This is just not that great. Focusing on results instead of goals is still goal setting. For a 38 minute book, he spent 10 minutes talking about coupon clipping and self control....enough said.

Pretty basic stuff

Maybe be useful to some that are less motivated. I dont why a review requires a certain amount of words like an essay...

Great little book

Book was fun and not a chore to listen to. Very educational and informative. Robert Greene never disappoints

Title: Summary: Cal Newport's Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

Author: Ant Hive Media

Narrator: Doron Alon

Language: English

Publisher's Summary:

This is a summary of Cal Newport's Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

One of the most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you'll achieve extraordinary results. Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive 21st century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep - spending their days instead in a frantic blur of email and social media, not even realizing there's a better way.

In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.

A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the listener on a journey through memorable stories - from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air - and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored.

Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

The Instant-Series Presents Instant Voice Training

How to Train Your Voice Instantly!

In a world where your voice totally matters, what do you do if you don't have the sexiest voice, the most commanding voice, the most articulate voice...or are simply not happy with the voice you have?

There is a myriad of reasons to why you would want/need to have a better voice, such as:

Are you familiar with the proverbial saying "it's not what you say, but how you say it" and how your actual words only make up "seven percent of communication"? Well, your voice makes up a remaining majority of that.

Thus, how you come across to those around you is determined by your voice, even more so than appearance. Have you ever witnessed a person who didn't have the polished look, but the second they started talking, you became in "awe" by the spellbinding sound effect they had...while the opposite could be said for somebody who looked like a million bucks but didn't have the million-buck voice to go with that appearance.

Members Reviews:

awesome

very short and concise with effective vocal warmups that you can do daily in under 15 minutes love it!

Really helped improve my vocal performance!

Where does Instant Voice Training rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

So far this is the only book I listened to completely, and for good reason! I'm very picky when it comes to writing styles and this one was right up my alley!

What did you like best about this story?

I particularly loved the 'Mouth Pull-Ups' as it was a very useful technique in loosening my jaw in preparation for a lengthy script. In addition to the plethora of vocal exercises this book has to offer, it also hits the nail right on the head when it comes to advising proper nutrition and care for your vocal chords/throat.

Have you listened to any of The INSTANT-Seriess other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have only listened to this one, but I am definitely going to look into their entire series!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and it was easy to do so! It kept me in a balanced state of informed and engaged all throughout.

Title: The Storyteller's Secret

Subtitle: From TED Speakers to Business Legends, Why Some Ideas Catch on and Others Don't

Author: Carmine Gallo

Narrator: Carmine Gallo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-23-16

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 277 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

This program is read by the author.

How did a Venice Beach T-shirt vendor become television's most successful producer? How did an entrepreneur who started in a garage create the most iconic product launches in business history? How did a timid pastor's son overcome a paralyzing fear of public speaking to captivate sold-out crowds at Yankee Stadium, twice? How did a human rights attorney earn TED's longest standing ovation, and how did a Facebook executive launch a movement to encourage millions of women to "lean in"?

They told brilliant stories.

In The Storyteller's Secret: From TED Speakers to Business Legends, Why Some Ideas Catch on and Others Don't, keynote speaker, best-selling author, and communication expert Carmine Gallo reveals the keys to telling powerful stories that inspire, motivate, educate, build brands, launch movements, and change lives. The New York Times has called a well-told story "a strategic tool with irresistible power". The proof lies in the success stories of 50 icons, leaders, and legends featured in The Storyteller's Secret: entrepreneurs like Richard Branson, Sara Blakely, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Sheryl Sandberg; spellbinding speakers like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Bryan Stevenson, and Malala Yousafzai; and business leaders behind famous brands such as Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Wynn Resorts, Whole Foods, and Pixar. Whether your goal is to educate, fundraise, inspire teams, build an award-winning culture, or to deliver memorable presentations, a story is your most valuable asset and your competitive advantage.

In The Storyteller's Secret, Gallo explains why the brain is hardwired to love stories - especially rags-to-riches stories - and how the latest science can help you craft a persuasive narrative that wins hearts and minds. "The art of storytelling can be used to drive change," says billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson. And since the next decade will see the most change our civilization has ever known, your story will radically transform your business, your life, and the lives of those you touch. Ideas that catch on are wrapped in story. Your story can change the world. Isn't it time you shared yours?

A beautiful story teaching how to tell you own.

Using the principles of effective storytelling the author teaches what those principles are and how to use them. Fun, inspiring, and enlightening this is a great audiobook to listen to.

Fantastic Book

Absolutely Excellent.

This book provided clear evidence on why story is the best communication vehicle for humanity. Don't try to change people's minds without appealing to their heart through story.

Relevant and Helpful

I'm grateful to find this story. I read Talk Like Ted, The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs, and now the Storytellers Secret... wow. So relevant to my life - now and in the future - and so helpful!

Great Story

This book compiled some of worlds best story tellers. Very inspirational and a most read!

Inspiring

This book talks about stories as a powerful tool for communication and I completely agree.

Members Reviews:

Good primer for the book.

This ~30 minute audible overview is a great way for readers to know if they want to tackle the whole book. I am surprised more business related books don't include a 5-10 page overview for their readers. An overview for a mystery novel would be silly, but I believe a must have for a business or self help book. This audio format is just that.

A lot of "fluff"

Some good ideas but unfortunately there is mainly fluff to fill the space in the book

Better in hard copy

This is probably one of those books that needs to be in paper hard copy form. The detail needs to be seen more than heard.

Duh

I guess if you're really awkward or abrasive then this would be a good book for you. There are some helpful reminders about how to listen and communicate. People too often become completely about themselves. I did not find any jaw dropping ah-ha moments. However this is a summary so perhaps the book offers more insight.

Nulla di nuovo

Semplicistico, niente di nuovo, una raccolta di buon senso di cose già note. Forse utile per chi si avvicina all'argomento per la prima volta.
