    Holding Onto Air: The Art and Science of Building a Resilient Spirit - Michele Demarco

    Listen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Holding Onto Air: The Art and Science of Building a Resilient SpiritAuthor: Michele DemarcoNarrator: Michele Demarco, PhdFormat: UnabridgedLength: 6:16:04Language: EnglishRelease date: 01-09-2024Publisher: Berrett-Koehler PublishersGenres: Non-Fiction, Health & Wellness, Psychology, Death & BereavementSummary:A top mental health writer, trauma researcher, and survivor illuminates the dual nature of loss—the science behind it and art of transforming it with a breakthrough book and truly holistic approach. After experiencing two rare heart attacks at the age of 33—and a third a decade later, DeMarco knows trauma intimately. Trauma breaks your relationship with time by upending your expectations, fracturing your memories and identity, and destroying your innocence. With poignant wisdom and refreshing insight DeMarco explodes traditional myths of resilience and shows what it takes to thrive through any of life's challenges. DeMarco situates meaningful challenge and loss specifically in the context of 'lost innocence,' and challenges common notions that we can think our way out of despair and back to a 'normal' happy life when the unimaginable shatters it. Leveraging advances in emotion science, somatic psychology, neuroscience, and trauma, Holding Onto Air brings the body and spirit into the solution, as much as the mind, and so presents a truly integrated, 'whole person' approach to recovering from lost innocence and building resilience. It also makes spirit accessible for anyone of any background or belief—or no aligned belief. More than a rudimentary map for navigating grief and loss' rocky terrain (with tired tropes and shop-worn strategies), DeMarco offers a unique and trusted guide for an arduous journey every human being will have to face—the realization of evil, pain, or mortality that occurs after a person experiences trauma.

    Money Kings: The Epic Story of the Jewish Immigrants Who Transformed Wall Street and Shaped Modern America - Daniel Schulman

    Listen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Money Kings: The Epic Story of the Jewish Immigrants Who Transformed Wall Street and Shaped Modern AmericaAuthor: Daniel SchulmanNarrator: Jonathan DavisFormat: UnabridgedLength: 22:21:33Language: EnglishRelease date: 11-14-2023Publisher: Random House (Audio)Genres: Business & Economics, Biography & Memoir, History & Culture, Accounting & FinanceSummary:The New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice • The incredible saga of the German-Jewish immigrants—with now familiar names like Goldman and Sachs, Kuhn and Loeb, Warburg and Schiff, Lehman and Seligman—who profoundly influenced the rise of modern finance (and so much more), from the New York Times best-selling author of Sons of Wichita Joseph Seligman arrived in the United States in 1837, with the equivalent of $100 sewn into the lining of his pants. Then came the Lehman brothers, who would open a general store in Montgomery, Alabama. Not far behind were Solomon Loeb and Marcus Goldman, among the “Forty-Eighters” fleeing a Germany that had relegated Jews to an underclass. These industrious immigrants would soon go from peddling trinkets and buying up shopkeepers’ IOUs to forming what would become some of the largest investment banks in the world—Goldman Sachs, Kuhn Loeb, Lehman Brothers, J. & W. Seligman & Co. They would clash and collaborate with J. P. Morgan, E. H. Harriman, Jay Gould, and other famed tycoons of the era. And their firms would help to transform the United States from a debtor nation into a financial superpower, capitalizing American industry and underwriting some of the twentieth century’s quintessential companies, like General Motors, Macy’s, and Sears. Along the way, they would shape the destiny not just of American finance but of the millions of Eastern European Jews who spilled off steamships in New York Harbor in the early 1900s, including Daniel Schulman’s paternal grandparents.   In The Money Kings, Schulman unspools a sweeping narrative that traces the interconnected origin stories of these financial dynasties. He chronicles their paths to Wall Street dominance, as they navigated the deeply antisemitic upper class of the Gilded Age, and the complexities of the Civil War, World War I, and the Zionist movement that tested both their burgeoning empires and their identities as Americans, Germans, and Jews.

    Inclusive Language Field Guide: 6 Simple Principles for Avoiding Painful Mistakes and Communicating Respectfully - Suzanne Wertheim

    Listen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Inclusive Language Field Guide: 6 Simple Principles for Avoiding Painful Mistakes and Communicating RespectfullyAuthor: Suzanne WertheimNarrator: Suzanne Wertheim, PhdFormat: UnabridgedLength: 7:55:42Language: EnglishRelease date: 10-03-2023Publisher: Berrett-Koehler PublishersGenres: Business & Economics, Language Instruction, Language Arts, HR & Office AdministrationSummary:Avoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by a no-nonsense linguistic anthropologist and business consultant. In today's fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield. Terms around gender, disability, race, sexuality and more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you cancelled. People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended. But it's not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication-written or spoken-with anyone: Reflect reality Show respect Draw people in Incorporate other perspectives Prevent erasure Recognize pain points This guide clarifies the challenges-and the solutions-to using 'they/them,' and demonstrates why 'you guys' isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband-because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like 'America was discovered in 1492,' because that's just when Europeans found it. Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.

    AI Dilemma: 7 Principles for Responsible Technology - Art Kleiner

    Listen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: AI Dilemma: 7 Principles for Responsible TechnologyAuthor: Art KleinerNarrator: Juliette PowellFormat: UnabridgedLength: 4:54:35Language: EnglishRelease date: 08-15-2023Publisher: Berrett-Koehler PublishersGenres: Business & Economics, Science & Technology, Business Development, ComputersSummary:The misuse of AI has led to wrongful arrests, denial of medical care, even genocide-this book offers 7 powerful principles that business can use now to end the harm. AI holds incredible promise to improve virtually every aspect of our lives, but we can't ignore its risks, mishaps and misuses. Juliette Powell and Art Kleiner offer seven principles for ensuring that machine learning supports human flourishing. They draw on Powell's research at Columbia University and use a wealth of real-world examples. Four principles relate to AI systems themselves. Human risk must be rigorously determined and consciously included in any design process. AI systems must be understandable and transparent to any observer, not just the engineers working on them. People must be allowed to protect and manage their personal data. The biases embedded in AI must be confronted and reduced. The final three principles pertain to the organizations that create AI systems. There must be procedures in place to hold them accountable for negative consequences. Organizations need to be loosely structured so that problems in one area can be isolated and resolved before they spread and sabotage the whole system. Finally, there must be psychological safety and creative friction, so that anyone involved in software development can bring problems to light without fear of reprisal. Powell and Kleiner explore how to implement each principle, citing current best practices, promising new developments, and sobering cautionary tales. Incorporating the perspectives of engineers, businesspeople, government officials, and social activists, this book will help us realize the unprecedented benefits and opportunities AI systems can provide.

Data indicates that most strategic efforts to change a company's culture fail. So how do companies succeed in this endeavor? A top strategy professor and two highly successful CEOs found that, in companies that had successfully changed their culture, leaders had taken dramatic actions that embodied the new cultural values. These actions inspired stories that became company legends, repeated in every department and handed on to new employees. Through compiling and analyzing 150 stories from business leaders who have achieved change, they identified 6 attributes that every successful culture change story has in common: 1. The actions are authentic 2. They revolve around the CEO 3. They signal a clean break with the past, and a clear path to the future 4. They appeal to employee heads and hearts 5. They're often theatrical or dramatic 6. They're told, and re-told, throughout the organization With extensive and inspiring examples of stories containing these attributes, the authors illustrate how readers can harness the power of stories within their company in order to change or create a winning culture to align with any strategy.
