About this listen
A. Target market: novices to experts who are or must become employed.
B. My book is unique because it details how to find work and keep it from a librarian's perspective. The book has no tacky guarantees. It covers a variety of employment strategies, including nontraditional solutions. My family background, employment, and experience make me an expert on the book's topic.
C. I am the best person to write this book: My father was a famous New York City Teamster labor leader who passed on many of his organizing stories and tactics, including work-related attempts on his life. I am a native New Yorker, NYC-published college librarian and journalist with two graduate degrees, one in vocational-technical education, the other in library science. I've been published on the Internet and been a computer and fitness columnist in New York State since 1999. I am a New York State certified public librarian with a NYS teaching certification in media communications who created and ran a career-preparation computer lab for at-risk youth through the US Department of Labor. I am also a SUNY communications instructor and a YMCA fitness director. A college librarian and professor in downtown Brooklyn, with a sister location in Manhattan, I have access to over 5,000 students daily. Internet in Bloom, the monthly Internet review column has been published in the Queens Gazette based out of Queens in NYC, both in hard copy and online since 2011. The hard-copy readership alone is 1 million.
D. Additionally I almost died due to a sudden attack of cellulitis in a Yonkers hospital in 2007. If it were not for my employer-provided medical insurance, I could have gone bankrupt. The importance of having health insurance regardless of one's income is the type of point I stress in my book. Finding work and coping with employers is stressful. My book explores work-related stressors. My years as a YMCA fitness director and personal trainer give me insights learned from improving the health of thousands of New Yorkers.

Artificial Intelligence is a new buzzword. Everyone is talking about it. It's been implemented effectively in a number of industries. Though it's been slow to get moving in the real estate industry, it has taken over certain aspects of the industry and will grow rapidly in the next decade. As a real estate agent, real estate owner, or even just a person looking to buy/rent a new house, we're always looking to get the best price, best tenant, or best house that we can afford. And artificial intelligence is the tool that can work for everyone involved.

One in three American workers is now a freelancer. This “gig economy” - one that provides neither the guarantee of steady hours nor benefits - emerged out of the digital era and has revolutionized the way we do business. High-profile tech start-ups such as Uber and Airbnb are constantly making headlines for the disruption they cause to the industries they overturn. But what are the effects of this disruption, from Wall Street down to Main Street? What challenges do employees and job seekers face at every level of professional experience?

Story
The idea of owning a business crosses everyone's minds from time to time, and I was no different. For the majority, all that really comes along is a fleeting thought that never gets much true consideration. There are many reasons why people are afraid to take the plunge - they do not have access to substantial funds, they are afraid to lose the security that comes with a steady paycheck, they believe they will have even less time for family and other commitments, and a host of other "I just can't do it" excuses. But the biggest reason that most people never try is simple - they are terrified of failure. I was no different as I mentioned, I have gone through all the phases that most go through before getting into their own business, but being a OTR truck driver, I was gone weeks at a time. I still loved what I was doing, but I had been married now for several years, and we had two children with a third on the way. I missed my family when I was gone, and it was hard on my wife as well.

She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Story
Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.
