Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

The ramblings of a cranky old man who spews his opinions with no references to up his claims. Awful. Simply awful.

The United States is in the grip of a crisis of bad history. Distortions of the past promoted in the conservative media have led large numbers of Americans to believe in fictions over facts, making constructive dialogue impossible and imperiling our democracy. In Myth America, Kevin M. Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer have assembled an all-star team of fellow historians to push back against this misinformation.

Not too much new here or persuasive arguments to change your Maga friends’ opinions. Cloying metaphors and theme music for each chapter were particularly annoying.

This riveting biography from the American Bar Association visits the spectacular life of Edwin Land, breakthrough inventor. At the time of his death, he stood third on the list of our most prolific inventors, behind only Thomas Edison and one of Edison's colleagues. Land's most famous achievement was the creation of a revolutionary film-and-camera system that could produce a photographic print moments after the picture was taken.

At the dawn of the 20th century, when human flight was still considered an impossibility, Germany’s Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin vied with the Wright Brothers to build the world’s first successful flying machine. As the Wrights labored to invent the airplane, Zeppelin fathered the remarkable airship, sparking a bitter rivalry between the two types of aircraft and their innovators that would last for decades, in the quest to control one of humanity’s most inspiring achievements. And it was the airship—not the airplane—that led the way.

The Stupidest Self Improvement Book You Will Ever Read
Revisado: 11-07-22
If you cannot feed yourself or attend to personal hygiene regularly then this book might be for you. However, if you can function in the real world find a different book.
How could anyone spend nearly an hour telling us how to get into the habit of flossing?
Let me save you time. Need to floss? Floss.
Missing breakfast? Get your tail out of bed and eat.
Want to do 20 push-ups? Get on the ground and give me 20.
Jeez.

Good Ideas Wasted With Sports Analogies
Revisado: 07-06-22
When will Benjamin Hardy realize that organized sports are detached from the real world and that many functioning adults do not look to sports figures from these staged spectacles for inspiration in succeeding in real life situations?
Rather than sports analogies, why not tales of potty training or how to properly floss?

Drawing on comprehensive research and his own intimate knowledge of the Vicksburg Campaign, Jeff Shaara once again weaves brilliant fiction out of the ragged cloth of historical fact. From the command tents where generals plot strategy to the ruined mansions where beleaguered citizens huddle for safety, this is a panoramic portrait of men and women whose lives are forever altered by the siege.

Jeff Shaara’s Best
Revisado: 06-15-18
I have enjoyed a number of JS’s novels, but this one stands out. There is greater depth of characters. This takes a more direct approach to the southern mindset regarding slavery. He clearly and emotionally tells the story of civilians suffering through the Vicksburg seige.

In chronicling the adventurous life of legendary CIA operative Edward Lansdale, The Road Not Taken definitively reframes our understanding of the Vietnam War. In this epic biography of Edward Lansdale (1908-1987) best-selling historian Max Boot demonstrates how Lansdale pioneered a "hearts and mind" diplomacy, first in the Philippines, then in Vietnam. It was a visionary policy that, as Boot reveals, was ultimately crushed by America's giant military bureaucracy.

A Disappointment on Several Counts
Revisado: 03-15-18
Lansdale was an interesting participant in post WWII international politics and espionage. I enjoyed hearing these accounts which draw parallels to today’s headlines. I really do not care to hear long narratives about his personal life and this book frequently goes down those rabbit holes. The book would have moved at a brisker pace had most of this been edited put.
The narrator is slowwwww. I ended up running the book at 1.25x to avoid nodding off. Worse, the reader mispronounces acumen, patina and forte. Each of these words are used several times in the narrative and mispronounced words are a distraction.

Four days before Christmas in 1943, a badly damaged American bomber struggled to fly over wartime Germany. At its controls was a 21-year-old pilot. Half his crew lay wounded or dead. It was their first mission. Suddenly a sleek, dark shape pulled up on the bomber’s tail - a German Messerschmitt fighter. Worse, the German pilot was an ace, a man able to destroy the American bomber with the squeeze of a trigger.

Greatest Book on Heroism in Decades
Revisado: 10-18-16
What an amazing and engaging narrative! This book compares to Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels in that it is not only a well written story, but the reader will not look either the Germans or the Americans as the enemy. We have individuals rhat as the story unfolds we vegin to care very much about refardless of which iniform they wear.
