Title: Confessions of a Radical Tax Protestor: An Inside Expose of the Tax Resistance Movement

Author: Larry R. Williams

Narrator: James C. Lewis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:30:30

Language: English

Release date: 07-20-20

Summary:

Larry Williams has always had a problem with authority, especially government authority - the U.S. or any other. Libertarian, trader, would be politician, and Indiana Jones-like adventurer, Larry has gone wherever his spirit moved him and bucked state constraints whenever he found them stifling. Throughout his life, his rebellious spirit served him well - huge successes in trading, adventures right out of a Graham Greene novel in Saudi Arabia, two boisterous runs for the U.S. Senate, a famous actress daughter entangled with an even more famous actor, a new grandchild - the life well lived that would be the envy of most people. Along the way, Larry became a tax protester in the spirit of John Cheek and Irwin Schiff. However, Larry was far too free a spirit to give up his freedom for his beliefs, and figured that he was smarter than the zealot tax protesters now making license plates, particularly after meeting a man with an actual and real document from the IRS acknowledging the legitimacy of a certain kind of trust. But things are not always what they seem. Annoying letters from the IRS called for hiring an attorney to 'work things out,' which he thought (based on the bills he was paying) was in the works. Enjoying a pleasant flight in first class from South Africa to Australia, Larry, at the age of 64 with a new granddaughter and children well settled in successful lives of their own, reflected that life was pretty sweet. Then his plane landed in Australia and he was summarily arrested and jailed. And there began a nearly 4 year fight for his freedom at a huge financial cost; worse was the toll it took on his psyche (though he did make a lot of money trading to pay those bills when he was under arrest in Australia). This is the story of Larry's war with the IRS and U.S. Dept. of Treasury and the underside of the seamy world of tax protesters. Larry is still against current U.S. tax policy but now he's doing PSAs for the IRS on the folly of protesting on an individual basis.

Summary:

Parents are beginning to realize that deficiencies in ethics and character are becoming a big problem among our nations children. For example, late-breaking research shows that: Kids learn to lie when theyre about 3, and by 8 have a habit thats hard to break By the time they are pre-teens or adolescents, most children are Fully Skilled Lie Tellers 60% of 12-17 years old say they have friends who cheat at school. 98% of teens lie to their parents about a range of topics, from alcohol and drug use, to how they spend their money and where it comes from. Including honors students and athletes. This is not, says the author, some kind of normal evolutionary survival behavior but a grave wrong turn that is learned and implanted at various key periods of our neurological and psychological development. So what can parents do? The author shows how to customize interventions to a childs age, temperament. He encourages parents not to give up, since what they do can always make a difference, regardless of how long or deep the bad habits of dishonesty may be. His program includes the encouragement to: Intervene early and often. Playing catch-up is impossible, as far as the teaching of ethics is concerned. Teach ethics from early childhood to young adulthood. It cannot be outsourced to teachers, coaches, or caregivers. Put honesty as the characteristic they most want their kids to have. Take advantage of brief crucial windows of opportunity when parents can and should intervene for long-lasting impact on character and moral development. Teach Honesty, as well as Responsibility, Respect, Fairness, and Compassion. All of Kidder's practical advice is based on the latest psychological and neuroscientific research about how kids develop character and learn what's right and wrong.

Summary:

For decades we have witnessed the power of entrepreneurs to transform industries, societies, and global economies. More recently, we have seen social entrepreneurs apply that same creativity and dynamism to schools and nonprofits. Today, when corporate security is history, job mobility is at an all-time high, and technology is cutting us loose, we are on the cusp of a new phenomenon. A new generation of life entrepreneurs is emerging who apply their vision, talents, creativity, and energy not only to their work but to their entire liveschanging the world for themselves and those around them. In Life Entrepreneurs: Mavericks in the Art of Living, Christopher Gergen and Gregg Vanourek (both successful entrepreneurs) describe the convergence between organizational and life entrepreneurship. At that nexus, organizations transform themselves into engines of productivity and incubators of imaginative new products and business lines, while people transform their lives from mediocre to extraordinary ones. Entrepreneurial leaders make these connections. Drawing on numerous interviews and surveys and the wisdom of multiple thought leaders (including aforeword by Warren Bennis), the authors provide a tour de force of vivid examples, moving vignettes, concrete frameworks, and practical strategies for revving up our work and play through entrepreneurial leadership. Part inspiration and part road map, it is a clarion call for those of us so busy, overworked, or stressed that, even if successful by conventional measures, we feel half asleep and out of step with our dreams. If youre wondering about launching a new business, making a big career change, reawakening your aspirations, or recharging your leadership batteries, this is a high-energy kick in the pants to start it up.

Title: Emotionally Intelligent Leadership: A Guide for College Students

Author: Marcy Levy Shankman, Scott J. Allen

Narrator: Christine Williams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:04:44

Language: English

Release date: 07-20-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Education

Summary:

This text is meant to teach college students how to develop their skills in emotionally intelligent leadership. Like other texts of this nature, it assumes that everyone has the capacity to be a leader, not just those in official roles in formal organizations. The authors argue that college students are in the unique position of having a learning lab at their disposal. The campus environment provides a rich array of diversity and opportunities for honing leadership skills. It is the first book for students that combines the concepts of emotional intelligence (EI) and leadership into one model of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership (EIL), around which the book is organized. The EIL model is defined as consciousness of context, consciousness of self, and consciousness of others, and each chapter represents one of the 21 defined skills that make up this triad. The book is meant to provide students with a clear and engaging theoretical perspective as well as practical application. Further it encourages purposeful reflection of the concepts presented and provides students with tools to learn more about themselves, work more productively with others, improve relationships, and be more effective in a leadership capacity.
