Historia
An immigrant arrives in New York City at the turn of the century, falls into a job at a famous hedge fund, and is startled to discover how business is done on Wall Street. His observations of American culture and finance are jarring, surreal, and hilarious. The author worked directly for George Soros and launched funds with several other Soros alumni. In addition to his career in finance, he founded and continues to host one of the largest veteran fundraisers in New York.

Historia
Benjamin Franklin was not a gambling man. But at the end of his illustrious life, the Founder allowed himself a final wager on the survival of the United States: a gift of two thousand pounds to Boston and Philadelphia, to be lent out to tradesmen over the next two centuries to jump-start their careers. Each loan would be repaid with interest over ten years. If all went according to Franklin’s inventive scheme, the accrued final payout in 1991 would be a windfall.

Another explanation of Franklin’s genius
Revisado: 07-07-24
Excellent example of Ben Franklin’s abilities. Some of the stories I’m familiar with but they add to the overall history of the last bet he made on society. He had similar thoughts on the working man to what Mike Rowe has today. Too bad politics and money hungry idiots limited the true impact that could have been felt. Great book though.

Such an amazing book to find the week of the 80th anniversary. Listening to this one was something I glad I did. Many stories from the greatest generation who without we all might be in a different world today.

Historia
Why are certain people so incredibly great at what they do? Most of us think we know the answer - but we’re almost always wrong. That’s important, because if we’re wrong on this crucial question, then we have zero chance of getting significantly better at anything we care about. Happily, the real source of great performance is no longer a mystery. Bringing together extensive scientific research, best-selling author Geoff Colvin shows where we go wrong and what actually makes world-class performers so remarkable.

Historia
Ray Dalio does not want you to listen to this audiobook. Late last year, when the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund on the planet, announced that he was stepping down from the company he started out of his apartment nearly 50 years ago, the news made headlines around the world. Dalio cultivated an aura of international admiration and fame thanks to his company’s eye-popping success, coupled with a mystique he encouraged with frequent media appearances, celebrity hobnobbing, and his bestselling book, Principles.

Historia
There’s no doubt that our world has gotten more extreme. Pandemics, climate change, superpower rivalries, cyberattacks, political radicalization—virtually, everywhere we look there is mayhem bearing down on us, putting trillions of assets at risk. And at least two factions have formed around how to respond. In Chaos Kings, Scott Patterson depicts how one faction, led by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, bestselling author of The Black Swan, believes humans can never see the big disaster coming.

Historia
Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins’ smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. In Never Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that enabled him to learn that what he thought was his limit was only his beginning and that the quest for greatness is unending.

This guy never ceases to amaze me. Started listening and was immediately pumped to get out and run. The story continues his trials and tribulations that come with being a trailblazer. One of the most inspiring people for endurance athletes, but many lessons can be applied beyond sport.

Does talking about your accomplishments feel scary or icky because you're worried people will think you're "obnoxious"? Does it feel more natural to "put your head down and do the work"? Are you tired of watching the loudest people in your industry get disproportionate praise and rewards? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you might be self-sabotaging. You need to learn to brag better. Meredith Fineman shares the surefire and anxiety-proof strategies that have helped her clients effectively communicate their achievements and skill sets to others.

Good for men too
Revisado: 03-01-22
I almost stopped listening because this was geared more toward women and others that are not as aggressive in showing their worth. But glad I continued because I learned a few thing and also was reminded of my responsibility to help those without my standing.

Historia
"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.
