Title: Upstream: How to solve problems before they happen

Author: Dan Heath

Narrator: Dan Heath

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:47:55

Language: English

Release date: 03-05-20

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath asks what happens when we take our thinking upstream and try to prevent problems before they happen.

We all have a tendency to work around problems. We are resourceful. We improvise. Were so accustomed to managing emergencies as they strike that we often dont stop to think about how we could prevent crises before they happen. Why 'solve' crimes when we could stop them being committed? Why treat chronic diseases when they could be prevented from developing? Why provide shelter for the homeless rather than working to keep people housed in the first place? Why do our efforts skew so heavily towards reaction rather than prevention?

The notion of preventing problems is an evergreen need in our professional and daily lives. Which makes Upstream a book for skeptical optimists - across all sectors - who know it's not going to be easy, but who believe that we have the capacity to solve some of our thorniest issues, if only we start to think about the system rather than the symptoms. Drawing on insights from Dan Heath's extensive research, as well as hundreds of new interviews with unconventional problem solvers, he delivers practical solutions for preventing problems rather than simply reacting to them.

Includes a supplementary PDF.

Title: Emotionally Intelligent Leader

Narrator: Mike Lenz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:19:51

Language: English

Release date: 03-03-20

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership

Summary:

Become a Better Leader by Improving Your Emotional Intelligence

Bestselling author Daniel Goleman first brought the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) to the forefront of business through his articles in Harvard Business Review, establishing EI as an indispensable trait for leaders. The Emotionally Intelligent Leader brings together three of Goleman's bestselling HBR articles.

In 'What Makes a Leader?' Goleman explores research that found that truly effective leaders are distinguished by high levels of self-awareness and sharp social skills. In 'The Focused Leader,' Goleman explains neuroscience research that proves that 'being focused' is more than filtering out distractions while concentrating on one thing. In 'Leadership That Gets Results,' Goleman draws on research to outline six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. Together, these three articles guide leaders to recognize the direct ties between EI and measurable business results.

Summary:

'A passionate, practical roadmap for addressing inequality and finally making our workplaces work for women' – Arianna Huffington

Foreword by Gillian Anderson and Jennifer Nadel 

For years, we’ve been telling women that in order to succeed at work, they need to change themselves first – lean in, negotiate like a man, don’t be too polite or you’ll never succeed (like a man). But after sixteen years working with major Fortune 500 companies as a leading gender-equality expert, Michelle P. King has realised one simple truth: the tired advice of fixing women doesn’t fix anything. The reality is that workplaces are gendered; they were designed by men for men. Based on King’s research and exclusive interviews with major companies and thought leaders, The Fix reveals the hidden sexism and invisible barriers holding women back at work every day.

Women are passed over for promotions, paid less and pushed out of the workforce – not because they aren’t good enough, but because they don’t fit the masculine ideal. In this fascinating and empowering book, King reveals the barriers that inhibit women – and men – at all stages of their careers and provides readers with a clear set of takeaways to help them thrive as they fight for change from within.

Title: Evergreen Talent: A Guide to Hiring and Cultivating a Sustainable Workforce

Author: Roberta Chinsky Matuson

Narrator: Roberta Chinsky Matuson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:44:12

Language: English

Release date: 03-03-20

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, HR & Office Administration

Summary:

Finding the right talent is hard. Finding the right talent that will prosper and stay is even harder. Business growth is being stifled and fields of office cubicles remain empty due to the fierce competition for talent today with job openings having recently surged to a record high: 6.55 million.

Evergreen Talent will show you how to attract, find, and keep employees for the long-term. What many organization leaders fail to understand is that you can't simply transplant a competitor's talent strategy and achieve the same results—just as you can't take plants suited to a warm climate and expect them to thrive in chillier locales. The conditions are too different. But a company that takes the time to examine its own environment, select talent accordingly, and nurture its people will stand tall, regardless of economic conditions.

In Evergreen Talent Roberta Chinsky Matuson challenges leaders to think differently about their approach to growing a sustainable workforce—one that will regenerate regularly, with minimal effort on their part. The book is filled with pragmatic advice, case studies, and best practices from companies that have done this successfully. Also included are tools to help listeners assess their workplace environment and populate their organization with talent that will continue to grow, year after year.

Title: Here We Are

Author: Graham Swift

Narrator: Phil Davis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:55:25

Language: English

Release date: 02-27-20

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio UK

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Summary:

It is Brighton, 1959, and the theatre at the end of the pier is having its best summer season in years. Ronnie, a brilliant young magician, and Evie, his dazzling assistant, are top of the bill, drawing audiences each night. Meanwhile, Jack – Jack Robinson, as in ‘before you can say’ – is everyone’s favourite compère, a born entertainer, holding the whole show together.

 

As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama between the three begins to overshadow their theatrical success, and events unfold which will have lasting consequences for all their futures.

 

Rich, comic, alive and subtly devastating, Here We Are is a masterly piece of literary magicianship which pulls back the curtain on the human condition.

'He tells simple, truthful stories about what feel like real people. Here We Are is a welcome addition to a proud legacy.' The Big Issue

The variety of voices and its historical and emotional reach are so finely entwined, it is as perfect and smooth as an egg. Passages leap out all the time, demanding to be reread, or committed to memory... It is perhaps too simple to say that Swift creates a form of fictional magic, but what he can do with a page is out of the ordinary, far beyond most mortals’ ken.' Rosemary Goring,The Herald

'Here We Are is a subtle portrait of a vanished world, with moving passages about the problems of wartime evacuees returning to impoverished London life after the wonders of the countryside.' The Independent

‘In Here We Are, Swift does not just dwell on the pivotal moments of our lives, but traces their shockwaves both forward and back. Moving seamlessly from pre-war to post, from the events of one illusory, youthful summer to the present, we are given candid access to the innermost reflections of three people who loved and betrayed each other. The end result is the stuff of life, an enduring mystery that Ronnie, Evie, Jack - that we all - must live with. I thought it was wonderful.’ Joseph Knox, author of Sirens

Praise for Mothering Sunday:

'Bathed in light; and even when tragedy strikes, it blazes irresistibly… Swift’s small fiction feels like a masterpiece’ Guardian

 ‘Alive with sensuousness and sensuality … wonderfully accomplished, it is an achievement’ Sunday Times

‘From start to finish Swift’s is a novel of stylish brilliance and quiet narrative verve. The archly modulated, precise prose (a hybrid of Henry Green and Kazuo Ishiguro) is a glory to read. Now 66,

Swift is a writer at the very top of his game’ Evening Standard

‘Mothering Sunday is a powerful, philosophical and exquisitely observed novel about the lives we lead, and the parallel lives – the parallel stories – we can never know … It may just be Swift’s best novel yet’ Observer

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

Niki Lauda drove a car for sport, but crossed the line between life and death and fought back to even greater glory. Even people who know nothing of Formula One have heard of his crash at Nurburgring in 1976, when we was dragged from the inferno of his Ferrari so badly injured he was given the last rites. Within 33 days, he was racing again at Monza. His wounds bled, he had no eyelids. He was terrified. A year later, he reclaimed his World Championship title.

In To Hell and Back he reveals how he battled fear to stage a comeback that seemed beyond human endurance. Then its Lauda vs Hunt, an epic rivalry later dramatized in 2013s Hollywood blockbuster Rush, and he looks back on the strict childhood and parental disapproval that he believes gave him an addiction to excellence. Therell never be another like him.

Title: We Are Adam: The Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden and What It Means for You

Author: Ramona Siddoway

Narrator: Jessica Mathison

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:11:18

Language: English

Release date: 02-27-20

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Summary:

Many people, both in and outside of the church, have misconceptions about Adam and Eve in the garden, as well as miss the rich symbolism of Eve as the mother of all living and a woman's representation in the tree of life symbolism. Because of cultural overlays onto this allegory, societies have twisted and lost the lessons - and template - for consecration in marriage and the eternal divinity within womanhood, as well as the measure priesthood plays in the entire narrative.

Through extensive research of the church's doctrine, prophetic and apostolic quotes, Hebrew scholars, and Hebraic definitions of biblical passages and words, this manuscript gathers into one place extensive research that uncovers and reveals an amazing and profound plan encapsulated within the Garden of Eden that most people have barely scratched the surface of.
