    Publisher's Summary:
    International best-selling author and behavior expert Joe Navarro helps you successfully navigate the business world by understanding what your boss and coworkers are really thinking.
    Why is it that some people have all the elements of success - education, skills, integrity, motivation - but can't seem to move from effectiveness to excellence in their careers? Behavior expert Joe Navarro reveals the long-sought answer. Louder Than Words teaches how to master nonverbal intelligence, the ability to interpret and nonverbal signals - in poker terms, "tells" - in business, to assess and influence others.
    Drawing on his decades in the behavioral sciences, Navarro shows how to use his simple yet powerful "comfort/discomfort" model to decode what's really being said at meetings, interviews, negotiations, presentations, business meals, and more, including the casual exchanges that often impact decisions and reputations.
    Jump-start your career as you discover how to:
    Use Louder Than Words to close the deal, keep your customers, secure new ones, and lead your company with confidence. For job seekers looking to stand out from the pack, this audiobook is your get-back-to-work bible.

    Incredibly useful
    Would you consider the audio edition of Louder Than Words to be better than the print version?
    Not necessarily. But it's definitely way more convenient for me since I am able to listen to it when spending hours driving. I mean, I tried reading and driving at the same time...doesn't seem to work for some reason.
    What did you like best about this story?
    The concepts he teaches, especially the body language signs he teaches you all about are amazingly useful. I see these things in my every day life and it has been an immense eye-opener into the feelings of others around me, and these concepts have given me such a power to influence others and be effective in human interaction. As something that is accessible to anyone to use, it is unmatched in its usefulness and influence.
    Which scene was your favorite?
    Chapter 4 and Chapter 9
    What did you learn from Louder Than Words that you would use in your daily life?
    Tons of things in the non-verbal world, which means that I use it every moment of my life; and this does not only include body language, but other non-verbals as well. Though I absolutely favor the body language aspect
    Any additional comments?
    Joe Navarro is a non-verbal genius. If you want to be more effective and influential in every interaction you are involved in among other people, read this book.
    Read this if you're an average worker
    If you've read the author's other book "What Every BODY Is Saying," you'll find some repetition in the beginning of this book. This book is exactly what its title purport it to be - take your career from average to exceptional. Many of the observations that the author makes about businesses and individuals are obvious, like customers get upset when there's only one cashier to handle a long line and when another worker is called, the worker strolls to his station. Managers should be training their workers to be more responsive to customers if they want to keep their business. I think this book is still worth reading.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Every trader is an entrepreneur. And just as a new business must capitalize upon the strengths of its founders, a career in the markets crucially hinges upon the assets - personal and monetary - of the trader. As an active trader and a coach of traders in hedge funds, proprietary trading groups, and investment bank settings, author Brett Steenbarger has helped others see the personal assets they have possessed all along: those that can pay a lifetime of dividends.
    In The Daily Trading Coach, Steenbarger provides the tools to help you prioritize both your trading goals and your life - and become your own trading psychologist.
    There are 101 lessons in The Daily Trading Coach, each averaging several minutes in length. Each lesson follows the same general format: identifying an everyday challenge that traders face, an approach to meeting that challenge, and a specific suggestion for implementing that approach. The lessons cover a range of topics relevant to trading psychology and trading performance, including detailed instruction for utilizing psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral brief therapy methods to change problematic behavior patterns and instill new, positive ones. In addition, the book includes insightful self-coaching perspectives from 18 successful trading professionals who share their work online.
    While the aim of the book is to help you become your own trading coach, its broader purpose is to help you coach yourself through life. The challenges and uncertainties you face in trading - the pursuit of rewards in the face of risks - are just as present in careers and relationships as in markets. The Daily Trading Coach provides a road map, and a practical set of insights and tools, for discovering and implementing the best within you.

    Great book and tips
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Daily Trading Coach: 101 Lessons for Becoming Your Own Trading Psychologist to be better than the print version?
    This book is perfect to be placed in audiobook format because there are no real charts, tables, or figures to look at it. I personally hate reading and only do so when necessary. I'm thankful I found this book here. I found it via Investimonials - they provided great reviews of this book if you would like further information/reviews...and I guess there are the numerous www.amazon.com reviews...
    What did you like best about this story?
    It helped me a lot to assess my psychological trading mistakes. I think every trader should at least skim over this book. They will find a mistake they are committing. I've learned a lot about myself while reading this book like my fear or rejection or making mistakes - this makes me stay in positions longer than I should. There are a lot of great trading tips.
    Which scene was your favorite?
    Definitely does not apply to a trading book...
    If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
    ...It's a trading book...
    great read
    trading improved significantly I doing it to be very stimulating and thought provoking.. my habits have gone from poor to great! highly recommended
    Great book for every level of trader!
    A book you should listen to at least a few times a year to keep you on the right track.
    Great book for both neophite and seasoned trader!
    This book impressed me a lot since the first lessons, written by a real trader.

    Publisher: Macmillan Audio
    Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 43 votes
    Genres: Business, Career Skills
    Publisher's Summary:
    A step-by-step handbook that teaches listeners to find the extraordinary stories tucked deep within them to make a difference in the lives of others - and to get paid - as a motivational speaker, The Message of You begins with a simple belief - that your greatest speech already exists and that it has already been delivered in front of a live audience masterfully and powerfully by you. Best-selling author and international comic, Judy Carter sets out to prove that The Message of You is in the advice you give to your friends; in the lessons you teach your children; in the stories you tell your family. It's expressed through the volunteer work you do, the way you run your business, the way you turned your messes into successes. The Message of You is a distillation of all of your experiences, both personal and professional, that form the narrative meaning of your life. A meaning that you can develop into a well-written, funny speech to inspire audiences, enhance your current profession, and launch a successful money making career as a professional speaker.
    In part one of the book, Judy leads you through a series of in-depth exercises meant to mine your personal and professional experiences for stories that establish your qualifications, your problem/solutions, your action steps, and your methodology. In part two, Judy has created a six-step structure for writing an entertaining and informative speech, guiding you through each step in detail.
    But the real bonus of The Message of You is that Judy is a comic. Her "Comedy Pass" chapter takes you through simple but effective comedy writing techniques that will transform even a flat PowerPoint snoozer into a knee-slapping showstopper of a keynote. Once your speech is well-written and funny, Judy takes you through part three, teaching you how to take your message to the masses with inexpensive but essential marketing tips. The Message of You offers an accessible approach, big picture guidance, and nitty-gritty nuts and bolts of sound advice.
    Judy has been a comedy and speaking coach for over 20 years. She's a firm believer that how you present your ideas is just as important as the ideas themselves. She knows that humor and strong content are the missing ingredients in most speeches and her book, The Message of You, helps you discover both your message and your comedic voice by taking you through the same process she uses to coach her private clients.

    snake oil
    Any additional comments?
    Please don't waste your time on this book. I am an active real estate investor and this guy comes off like a snake oil salesman. I tried to force myself to listen to the whole thing but just couldn't get more than 60% of the way through.
    Instead of this, please read, in this order, Investing in Real Estate by Gary Eldred, Trump Strategies for Real Estate by George Ross, and Loopholes of Real Estate by Garrett Sutton and Robert Kiyosaki (I'm not a big fan of the Rich Dad stuff, but this one has some good info at times)
    One Big Sales Pitch
    What disappointed you about How to be a Real Estate Investor?
    He wrote this book in order to convince you to buy all of his other real estate coaching stuff.
    Excellent Book!
    As a real estate investor myself for many years, this book is right on the money. I wish I would have read this book when I first got started.
    The author shares the real world of real estate investing in a very accurate and entertaining format. I listened to the audio version and since the author was also the narrator, I got to hear the author's intent as well which made a big difference for me. He is a great speaker, actually, and kept my focus the whole time. You won't get bored, that's for sure!
    There are a ton of books out there about real estate. What makes this one different is that the author covers the whole spectrum of investing, from flipping to long term rentals, to everything in between. Phil condenses a huge topic into an easy-to-follow format so that the reader can make there own decision on what angle of the real estate game they want to go into. I'm used to books where the author is trying to convince you to invest in a particular way; like wholesaling, or foreclosures, or whatever. Phil doesn't do that. In fact, he points out the pros and cons of each style. Which was quite illuminating to me because there was a lot of misconceptions I had about certain techniques.
    I'm what I would consider to be an expert at investing these days and I got a whole bunch of golden nuggets out of this book. Those brand new to real estate will get a ton out of this book.

    informative but boring
    the book is extensive, it covers most areas of communication but it's very dry, hard to read, and a little boring. To finish the book I had to take a break and read a completely different book.
    Good information, but sleepy narrator
    This is a book with good points to consider, but the narrator struggled to keep my attention.

    a very good read. easy to understand text. beautifully articulated. moderate length. decent narration voice.

    A book that will change the way you present
    Where does The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
    The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs
    My presentations will never be the same! I learned so much from this book. I listened to this book in one sitting! Steve Jobs presentations catapulted him to messianic status and Apple to being the epicycloid of the smart phone industry. Although his presentations seems informal and spontaneous, this book clearly shows a pattern that Jobs used and emphasizes the hours of practice that produced these insanely great presentations. Toastmasters International has been helping people learn and practice tools to help them become great speakers for decades. This book takes those principles of gestures, eye contact, using a prop, writing it out, organizing the content, using vocal variety and the pause, and gives examples of where jobs used them and what he said.
    Then comes the insanely great part: Jobs threw in a Holy Smokes!!! moment and reinterpreted the use of slides. How to create the HS moment is included and can be adapted to any topic. For anyone who uses PowerPoint in their presentations, this book is a must! Learning how to use the slides like Jobs did can change the audience from yawning to inspired.
    When I want to increase my understanding of a topic, I borrow the book from the library and buy the Audible book. I listen as I read. This narrator made a mess of the book. Many paragraphs were totally skipped, he paraphrased and changed words. He totally skipped examples from Steves speeches.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Often downplayed in the excitement of starting up a new business venture is one of the most important decisions entrepreneurs will face: should they go it alone, or bring in cofounders, hires, and investors to help build the business? More than just financial rewards are at stake. Friendships and relationships can suffer. Bad decisions at the inception of a promising venture lay the foundations for its eventual ruin. The Founder's Dilemmas is the first book to examine the early decisions by entrepreneurs that can make or break a startup and its team.
    Drawing on a decade of research, Noam Wasserman reveals the common pitfalls founders face and how to avoid them. He looks at whether it is a good idea to cofound with friends or relatives, how and when to split the equity within the founding team, and how to recognize when a successful founder-CEO should exit or be fired. Wasserman explains how to anticipate, avoid, or recover from disastrous mistakes that can splinter a founding team, strip founders of control, and leave founders without a financial payoff for their hard work and innovative ideas. He highlights the need at each step to strike a careful balance between controlling the startup and attracting the best resources to grow it, and demonstrates why the easy short-term choice is often the most perilous in the long term.
    The Founder's Dilemmas draws on the inside stories of founders like Evan Williams of Twitter and Tim Westergren of Pandora, while mining quantitative data on almost 10,000 founders. People problems are the leading cause of failure in startups. This book offers solutions.

    Would you listen to The Founders Dilemmas again? Why?

    I appreciated the research based findings.
    What does Mark Mosely bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    Honestly, this might be a better book to read in print and refer back too, but it was an entertaining, easy listen in the car too
    Any additional comments?
    So many entrepreneurship books are just stories and anecdotes, this one is actually based on the findings of research. It's really fascinating!
    Too much talk on the data
    What was most disappointing about Noam Wassermans story?
    Before buying I was excited that Noam has gather data from 1000s of businesses but after completing the book, the book was more towards sharing and talking about the data instead of using those data to create insights and actionable knowledge for the listeners.
    Oh... and if you're a listener on the go, its better if you get the a book instead of an audiobook for Founder's Dilemma because this book will point you to a graph instead of explaining to you the graph. (e.g: Here is what 27% of the companies did that the others didn't do.
