His Dale Carnegie, author of the legendary How to Win Friends and Influence People, began his career as the premier "life coach" of the twentieth century by teaching the art of public speaking. Public speaking, as Carnegie saw it, is a vital skill that can be attained through basic and repeated steps. His classic volume on the subject appeared in 1926 and was revised twice-in shortened versions-in 1956 and 1962. This 2006 revision-edited by a longtime consultant to Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc., and the editor in charge of updating How to Win Friends and Influence People-is the definitive one for our era. While up-to-date in its language and points of reference, Public Speaking for Success preserves the full range of ideas and methods that appeared in the original: including Carnegie's complete speech and diction exercises, which follow each chapter, as the author originally designated them. This edition restores Carnegie's original appendix of the three complete self-help classics: Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell, As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, and A Message to Garcia by Elbert Hubbard. Carnegie included these essays in his original edition because, although they do not directly relate to public speaking, he felt they would be of great value to the readers. Here is the definitive update of the best-loved public-speaking book of all time. ...Show more

Charles Duhigg, repórter investigativo do New York Times , mostra que a chave para o sucesso é entender como os hábitos funcionam - e como podemos transformá-los. Durante os últimos dois anos, uma jovem transformou quase todos os aspectos de sua vida. Parou de fumar, correu uma maratona e foi promovida. Em um laboratório, neurologistas descobriram que os padrões dentro do cérebro dela mudaram de maneira fundamental. Publicitários da Procter & Gamble observaram vídeos de pessoas fazendo a cama. Tentavam desesperadamente descobrir como vender um novo produto chamado Febreze, que estava prestes a se tornar um dos maiores fracassos na história da empresa. De repente, um deles detecta um padrão quase imperceptível - e, com uma sutil mudança na campanha publicitária, Febreze começa a vender um bilhão de dólares por anos. Um diretor executivo pouco conhecido assume uma das maiores empresas norte-americanas. Seu primeiro passo é atacar um único padrão entre os funcionários - a maneira como lidam com a segurança no ambiente de trabalho -, e logo a empresa começa a ter o melhor desempenho no índice Dow Jones. O que todas essas pessoas tem em comum? Conseguiram ter sucesso focando em padrões que moldam cada aspecto de nossas vidas. Tiveram êxito transformando hábitos. Com perspicácia e habilidade, Charles Duhigg apresenta um novo entendimento da natureza humana e seu potencial para a transformação. ...Show more

Policy wonks, corporate executives, many academics, bankers and most journalists don't. It's all about having something to lose and sharing risks with others. In his most provocative and practical book yet, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the game, often seen as the foundation of risk management, in fact applies to all aspects of our lives. In his inimitable style, Taleb draws on everything from Antaeus the Giant to Hammurabi to Donald Trump, from ethics to used car salesmen, to create a jaw-dropping framework for understanding this idea. Among his insights: For social justice, focus on symmetry and risk sharing. Minorities, not majorities, run the world. You can be an intellectual yet still be an idiot. Beware of complicated solutions (that someone was paid to find). Just as The Black Swan did during the 2007 financial crisis, Skin in the Game comes at precisely the right moment to challenge our long-held beliefs about risk, reward, politics, religion and business - and make us rethink everything we thought we knew. ...Show more

In the book that People m Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control - from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed "beguiling" and "fascinating," Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.   Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), others teach the value of confidence ("Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness"), and many recommend absolute self-preservation ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game. ...Show more
