This is a good book. I like it. It gives step-by-step instructions for mastering difficult conversations, which can help make you a great manager, spouse or friend; and can potentially save my marriage.

Studies show that today, the line between being a musician, a businessperson, and a salesperson have become largely blurred. Not only is this a risk for you if you’re trying to succeed in this business, but it also creates an empowering opportunity for you to master the industry. Are you ready to learn how?

So many of us want to be stronger, more engaged parents but do not have the time or strategies to make this a reality. Family issues are often swept under the rug when we don’t want to deal with them, leading to more problems and pain.

After having a literal heart clearing experience, Zreyas decides it’s time to bring Ayya, her mother, and her best friend’s scientific family up to date on what was really happening to the multiverse.

The Charred swarms in and surrounds them and neutralizes their communication channels. An Earth military official with a vendetta adds to their predicament.

We did something nontraditional when writing the summary for this nontraditional book. Instead of simply listing 20 contrarian ways, I am going to separate the 20 ideas into three categories. This book suggests the opposite by taking some contrarian ideology from the past that may now be helpful in our changing times.

In Encrypted, the author explores how God communicates to individuals in ways that only the individual desired for the message gets. He looks at how the individual can also communicate to God in a manner that only God understands, no matter who else hears what is being said. In exploring this philosophy, the writer brings out numerous interesting arguments and discusses several Christian principles. Some of such principles have been misunderstood by many, some undervalued, and yet some that have been taboo in some religious circles over the years.

I figured this book would depict a guy in a fedora with a cigar in his hand who fast talks like a stereotypical 1920s gangster. Alas, I was mistaken. It is a simple acronym. MOXIE is an acronym that stands for (spoiler alert!) Mindfulness, Opportunity, X-factor, Innovation, Engagement. This is a good book. I like it. If you can master these five traits, you are a bold and gutsy leader.

Despite being the most decorated men's basketball coach of all time, this book translates nicely to the business world. There are plenty of basketball stories, but this is by no means exclusively for sports fans. The message is that anyone can learn to be a leader by following the principles of his Pyramid of Success. If you give everything you have to be the best you can be, that is success. Unless you fail, but that means you didn't listen to it correctly, or are just part of the five percent of Americans (or 26 percent of Canadians) who are incapable of leadership.

Keisha is feeling pressured by Zoi’ to end her relationship with Greg and equally pressured by Greg to get married now.

This book gives all the reasons why employee engagement should be the most important part of your business. It should be a higher priority than the bottom line and profits, if your bottom line is profitable. I think that is obvious. You need to be at least profitable enough to afford a quality two-ply toilet paper. Is that too much to ask for? We aren't monsters. In fact, rule number one of employee engagement should be "Ditch the 80-grit single-ply macho wipe and get the good stuff." Those are the little things that keep employees engaged.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is written as a parable, substituting case studies and numerous hypotheticals for one long, book-length narrative. It follows the implementation of a fictional company’s new CEO, Kathryn, and her erotic journey from Milan to Minsk. Wait, that is a different book. This book is about her struggles through the early days of her new role. She must contend with the shareholders and growth of the company, but ultimately, it’s about acquiring and managing an existing executive team. It is a good book. I like it.

We are taking some of the most famous books on leadership and creating a comedic summary with absurd and sometimes raunchy jokes mixed in with the valuable leadership advice. We need a conversational tone and someone with great comedic timing and delivery.
