Lean Learning

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:33 +0000

Navigate the chaos of information overload and supercharge your efficiency with Lean Learning, a groundbreaking guide that reveals a counterintuitive approach to success: winning by learning less. From an early age, we’re taught that more is better. More money, more information, more skills. But times have changed. What was once valuable has now become a burden, and if information alone were the answer, we’d all be exactly where we want. In today’s fast-moving world, the difference between success and failure is not in what you know but in what you do with what you know. Lean Learning equips you with the tools to do just that, propelling you towards your goals with greater efficiency, purpose, and results. Pat Flynn, a seasoned and serial entrepreneur and business mentor to millions, draws on his own experiences and of those who have successfully implemented his techniques. Lean Learning isn’t just about absorbing information efficiently–it’s about reshaping your approach to knowledge altogether. This book teaches you how to identify what’s essential for your growth and eliminate all the distractions that tend to bog you down. Lean Learning stands out in a crowded productivity space by focusing not just on “working smarter” but on revolutionizing the way we absorb, process, and use information every single day. It’s a perfect read for entrepreneurs, professionals, and lifelong learners who are ready to cut through the chaos and start making real progress. Backed by Flynn’s extensive entrepreneurial success real-life case studies, Lean Learning offers a transformative approach to mastering any skill and achieving more with less. It is a perfect reading companion for fans of Great at Work, Digital Minimalism, and Building a Second Brain.

We Can Do Hard Things

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:27 +0000

The #1 New York Times bestselling authors and award-winning podcasters Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle created We Can Do Hard Thingsâthe guidebook for being aliveâto help fellow travelers find their way through life.

When you travel through a new country, you need a guidebook.

When you travel through love, heartbreak, joy, parenting, friendship, uncertainty, aging, grief, new beginnings â life â you need a guidebook, too.

We Can Do Hard Things is the guidebook for being alive.

Every day, Glennon Doyle spirals around the same questions: Why am I like this? How do I figure out what I want? How do I know what to do? Why canât I be happy? Am I doing this right?

The harder life gets, the less likely she is to remember the answers sheâs spent her life learning. She wonders: Iâm almost fifty years old. Iâve overcome a hell of a lot. Why do I wake up every day having forgotten everything I know?

Glennonâs compasses are her sister, Amanda, and her wife, Abby. Recently, in the span of a single year, Glennon was diagnosed with anorexia, Amanda was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Abbyâs beloved brother died. For the first time, they were all lost at the same time. So they turned toward the only thing thatâs ever helped them find their way: deep, honest conversations with other brave, kind, wise people.

They asked each other, their dearest friends, and 118 of the worldâs most brilliant wayfinders: As youâve traveled these roadsâmarriage, parenting, work, recovery, heartbreak, aging, new beginningsâhave you collected any wisdom that might help us find our way?

As Glennon, Abby, and Amanda wrote down every life-saving answer, they discovered two things:

1. No matter what road we are walking down, someone else has traveled the same terrain.
2. The wisdom of our fellow travelers will light our way.

They put all of that wisdom in one place: We Can Do Hard Thingsâa place to turn when you feel clueless and alone, when you need clarity in the chaos, or when you want wise company on the path of life.

We are all life travelers. We donât have to travel alone. We Can Do Hard Things is our guidebook.

Raising AI

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:23 +0000

From the pioneer of translation AIs like Google, Yahoo, and Bing translate, an accessible and authoritative guide to AI–as well as a framework of empowerment for a future with our artificial children.

Included in J.P. Morgan’s Summer Reading List
Included in The Next Big Idea Club’s June 2025 Must-Read Books

AIs are not gods or slaves, but our children. All day long, your YouTube AI, your Reddit AI, your Instagram AI, and a hundred others adoringly watch and learn to imitate your behavior. They’re attention-seeking children who want your approval.

Our cultures are being shaped by 8 billion humans and perhaps 800 billion AIs. Our artificial children began adopting us 10-20 years ago; now these massively powerful influencers are tweens.

How’s your parenting?

Longtime AI trailblazer De Kai brings decades of his paradigm-shifting work at the nexus of artificial intelligence and society to make sense of the AI age. How does “the automation of thought” impact our minds? Should we be afraid?

What should each of us do as the responsible adults in the room? In Hollywood movies, AI destroys humanity. But with our unconscious minds under the influence of AI, humanity may destroy humanity before AI gets a chance to.

Written for the general reader, as well as thought leaders, scientists, parents, and goofballs, Raising AI navigates the revolution to our attitudes and ideas in a world of AI cohabitants. Society can not only survive the AI revolution but flourish in a more humane, compassionate, and understanding world–amongst our artificial children.

â¢ determine what brings you real joy and fulfillment,
â¢ create a step-by-step plan to increase your happiness.

Through a groundbreaking process of Happiness Planning, Happiness Coaching, and Happiness Grants, The Happiness Experiment provides a completely new way to intensify your happiness and change lives.

Our Dollar, Your Problem

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:21 +0000

A leading economist explores the global rise of the U.S. dollar and shows why its future stability is far from assured

“The central argument of Our Dollar, Your Problem–that the greenback’s pre-eminence was never guaranteed and might plausibly be overturned–could hardly be more timely.”–The Economist

Our Dollar, Your Problem argues that America’s currency might not have reached today’s lofty pinnacle without a certain amount of good luck. Drawing in part on his own experiences, including with policymakers and world leaders, Kenneth Rogoff animates the remarkable postwar run of the dollar–how it beat out the Japanese yen, the Soviet ruble, and the euro–and the challenges it faces today from crypto and the Chinese yuan, the end of reliably low inflation and interest rates, political instability, and the fracturing of the dollar bloc. Americans cannot take for granted that the Pax Dollar era will last indefinitely, not only because many countries are deeply frustrated with the system, but also because overconfidence and arrogance can lead to unforced errors. Rogoff shows how America’s outsized power and exorbitant privilege can spur financial instability–not just abroad but also at home.

How Countries Go Broke

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:17 +0000

Do big government debts threaten our collective well-being? Are there limits to debt growth? Can a big, important reserve currency country like the United States really go broke–and what would that look like? For decades, politicians, policymakers, and investors have debated these questions, but the answers have eluded them. In this groundbreaking book, Ray Dalio, one of the greatest investors of our time who anticipated the 2008 global financial crisis and the 2010-12 European debt crisis, shares for the first time his detailed explanation of what he calls the “Big Debt Cycle.” Understanding this cycle is critical for helping policymakers, investors, and the general public grasp where we are and where we are headed with the debt issue. Dalio’s model points toward surprisingly straightforward solutions for dealing with the debt problems that the US, Europe, Japan, and China face today. How Countries Go Broke also shows how these debt problems are related to the other forces–political within countries, geopolitical between countries, natural (droughts, floods, and pandemics), and technological (most importantly, AI)–that together are causing what Dalio calls the “Overall Big Cycle” changes in the world order. By reading this book, you will improve your understanding of what’s happening now and what to do about it.

Wealthy and Well-Known

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:14 +0000

Turn your reputation into revenue by mastering the art of personal branding, standing out in a crowded market, and creating lasting influence. Do you feel called to share your story, inspire others and make a greater impact in the world? If so, you are what we call a “Mission-Driven Messenger.” The challenge however is that we live in a world that’s saturated with information and chock-full of “influencers,” making it nearly impossible to stand out from the crowd. Everyone from students to CEOs are scrambling for likes, views, followers, and the ever-elusive “viral breakthrough.” The painful truth is that instead of changing the world, it’s easy to become a “best kept secret” who is overlooked and overshadowed by people who don’t have nearly as much credibility as you have but who gain more attention simply because they are better at marketing. It’s time to change that. In Wealthy and Well-Known, industry-leading personal brand strategists Rory and AJ Vaden open the expert playbook they’ve used to help thousands of America’s most trusted voices and top personalities expand their reach and grow their revenues by implementing a system that has laser focus. Their proven data-driven method will help you:

Understand what a personal brand really is (and what it’s not).
Examine why most personal brand efforts fail and why perhaps you haven’t yet “broken through.”
Discover your calling and turn it into a clear and unique brand positioning in the market.
Align your passion with a business model that can generate massive personal profits.
Develop a winning message that solves your audience’s biggest problems.
Create truly original and compelling thought leadership.
Turn your expertise into a digital machine that drives unlimited warm leads into your business 24/7.
Craft marketing materials that generate more opportunities for you by positioning you as the “go-to” source.
Generate more money from fewer followers.

If you are an expert, entrepreneur, executive, or professional who is ready to live a life of service while turning your reputation into revenue, you are in the right place. It’s time for you to learn the secrets of becoming Wealthy and Well-Known.

Rich Girl Nation

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:00:57 +0000

From the founder of Money with Katie, a leveled-up finance guide for ambitious women everywhere–and a rallying cry for a new money movement
Women experience money differently than men do. In the United States, women have only 55 cents for every dollar of wealth held by men, are more likely to end up in poverty following a divorce, and are less likely to retire with the resources they need. What can women do to build wealth and claim financial power in a system that wasn’t designed for them?
Katie Gatti Tassin, personal finance writer and host of the popular podcast The Money with Katie Show, has built an energized following of smart, ambitious women seeking a deeper understanding of the financial issues that affect them. In Rich Girl Nation, Tassin deconstructs the unique challenges women face on their journey to financial freedom, offering context and nuanced guidance on money matters including:
– Performing a budgetary “Hot Girl Detox”
– Proven salary negotiation strategies that effectively navigate gender bias
– Investing frameworks that make you the leader of your financial life
– How (and why) to create a prenup
– Preparing and saving for childcare efficiently
– Retiring independently (and in a tax-optimized way)
Packed with scrupulous research and Tassin’s trademark wit, Rich Girl Nation uncovers the real story behind our financial system and shows us exactly how to thrive within it while we fight for broader change. It’s time for women to unite in unapologetic financial autonomy with the net worths to show for it–and to change the playing field not just for ourselves but for the next generation of Rich Girls, too.

Shoveling $H!t

Denise Long — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 00:01:15 +0000

No one shovels more $H!T than entrepreneurs. Dig in!

In 2023, entrepreneurs started a record 5.5 million new businesses in the United States, lured by the siren call of life-changing wealth.

But entrepreneurship is hard. Brutally hard. And instead of swimming in seas of cash, many founders find themselves buried under mountains of crap.

In Shoveling $h!t: A Love Story, Kass and Mike Lazerow share hard-learned lessons from decades of shoveling as co-founders and early investors in startups that have generated more than $10 billion in realized gains. As the co-founders of Golf.com and Buddy Media, which Salesforce bought for $745 million, they‘ve lived what they call the “imbalanced life” and have the scars and gains to prove it.

Whether you are deciding to leap or have already leapt, Shoveling $h!t will teach you how to embrace the beauty of the struggle and use the tools and entrepreneur‘s mindset to overcome the misery and uncertainty that awaits. Inside Kass and Mike‘s raw and deeply personal stories are universal strategies for choosing co-founders, green-lighting and funding ideas, building high-performing teams, creating the right culture, and pivoting businesses before it‘s too late.
