Historia
In this book, we travel inside Emily's and Paul's brains as they attempt to sort the vast quantities of information they're presented with, figure out how to prioritize it, organize it, and act on it. Fortunately for Emily and Paul, they're in good hands: David Rock knows how the brain works - and more specifically, how it works in a work setting. Rock shows how it's possible for Emily and Paul, and thus the listener, not only to survive in today's overwhelming work environment but succeed in it - and still feel energized and accomplished at the end of the day.

Helpful Insight - I've Made Strides at Work
Revisado: 12-17-18
The format describing anecdotes at work and home for two different professionals and their roles as parents was very effective. The neuroscience was amazing, and insightful.
I can't count how many times the author described scenarios I have at work, which led to more understanding of the context to what was happening - and best of all ideas to make things flow more effectively.
I would attribute my success on major project at work this year to what I learned in this book. It has helped me evolve my diet, my sleeping and my schedule to best leverage my intuitive and intellectual skills.

Historia
In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion.

A head-shaking true tale
Revisado: 10-11-18
I completed this faster than any other audio book - it's impossible to "put down". The flow of detail is compelling; it is deeply researched and. just like you know how Titanic ends yet you want to know the story, this one keeps building worth various new characters and scenarios that are nearly unbelievable.
I really liked Will Damron's reading, with the slightly derisive tone he used whenever quoting the twisted Elizabeth Holmes.
There are numerous open questions and additional stories that could be told borne of the insight in this book. Despite the detailed research, there is still an incomprehensible aspect to how so much fraud went on this long and connected people were duped.

This book's detail has been a key resource in the evolution of my career. I enjoy hearing Oren read it himself, he has fascinating examples of using these techniques. I've listened several times over the last year and found more of his content online helpful too.

I am now very informed on how to frame my communications to guide outcomes. I learned much more about existing paradigms that worth as default "presuasion" mindsets. This book gave me great ideas on how to create first impressions with clients and audiences.

I've listened to the whole original book twice; this summary catches the key concepts and helpful tactics. if you learn better with more context and examples, listen or read the original - as an audio book, Oren Klaff reads it himself and his enthusiasm, pointed style and delivery is enjoyable.

The year 1866 was marked by a unique incident, a mysterious and inexplicable phenomenon, and rumors agitated the maritime population and excited the public mind, especially seafaring men. Merchants, common sailors, captains of vessels, skippers, both of Europe and America, naval officers of all countries, and the governments of several states on the two continents, were deeply interested in the matter.

Wonderful reading of the classic
Revisado: 01-03-17
The narration is stellar; I must have read this in middle school in the 70s and to listen now with the various voices of the characters was really enjoyable.
It is particularly fun to immerse into the details of history, geography and biology as Verne describes, with a thought to the book's readers when it was published as not having anything like National Geographic tv programs, movies our aquariums as we've had as informational entertainment. The wonder he must have instilled is still resonant for today's reader.

Powerful voice acting

The narration and numerous voice actors make this a compelling listen. It is abridged, but delivered in a classic radio drama style with sound effects. Great for a road trip.
