The 4 Hour Work Week, by Timothy Ferriss
Summary
4 -Hour Work Week, by Timothy Ferris | Summary & Analysis. A smarter you in 15 minutes. What is your time worth? In these times, the economy is unpredictable; people need to do away with retirement concepts that don't work for their life plan, if there is no proper management of income. It doesn't matter whether one is earning huge salaries, or living a humble life. This audiobook has been designed to teach steps to be taken in a luxurious lifestyle. The author has further elaborated this by giving Tim as an example. Initially, Tim used to earn $40,000 annually, but later on he started earning the same amount on a monthly basis. Further, the audiobook teaches you how to outsource your life abroad, by embracing virtual aid which will cost you only five dollars per hour. Moreover, it touches on how people can travel without necessarily resigning from their jobs, ways of eliminating almost half the amount of work you do in two days, by use of principles of a forgotten Italian economist, ways of trading in a career that requires a long haul for work, that are short with busting and frequent mini-retirements.

Summary of Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty
Summary
Economics inequality, uneven concentration of wealth, and prospects of economic growth will stay amongst the top of the world's issues list. Modernization of economic growth as well as a more even spread of knowledge have played a great role in minimizing inequalities at least to a lesser extent than what Karl Marx predicted. However, the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the economic growth rate still adds to the creation of significant inequality. Brilliantly supported with empirical data, Capital in the Twenty First Century provides comparative historical research on income inequality that is definitive, fresh, and enlightening. A major work on inequalities throughout economic history, Capital in the Twenty First Century uncovers major economic and social patterns, providing answers through a vast collection of data to supplement the extant theories. This book is extraordinarily ambitious and rigorous, aiming to reorient the listener's understanding of the history of economics.

Written by a renowned French economist, Thomas Piketty, Capital in the Twenty First Century is one of the most important books of the year, if not of the decade.

Summary of The Road to Character: by David Brooks | Includes Analysis
Summary
The Road to Character: by David Brooks | Summary & Analysis Please note: This is a detailed summary and analysis of the book and not the original book. A Smarter You In 15 Minutes… What is your time worth? The Road to Character by David Brooks explores and identifies the most important qualities that move a human being’s life from being one that is all consuming and self-centred to serving something more than itself. The author draws on a wide range of important historical figures to show his listeners exactly how they demonstrated each quality. The book discusses in detail how life experiences, both negative ones and positive ones, shape who we are as people. David Brooks explores how a sense of humility and passion is absolutely fundamental for success and to make a meaningful life for ourselves. After all, at our funerals, would we want our eulogies to be about how driven and work focused we are, or would we want people to remember us in a different way, perhaps for our kindness, bravery, and faithfulness? He suggests in his book that for forging a strong and good character, love, humility, suffering, obedience, and vocation are needed and writes that “character is a set of disposition, desires, and habits that are slowly engraved during the struggle against your own weakness”. He completely disregards any notions that economics and an absence of money or status have any impact on how a person’s character is shaped.

Summary of Thinking, Fast and Slow: by Daniel Kahneman
Summary
A smarter you In 15 minutes.... What is your time worth? Daniel Kahneman, psychologist and Nobel Prize winner, is the author of the fascinating book, Thinking, Fast and Slow. In general, when we make decisions, be it personally or professionally, all of us utilize two basic thinking systems for problem solving and stress the importance of utilizing the right system. This book is all about two basic thinking systems. The first system is Fast Thinking, and the second system is Slow Thinking. In short, Fast Thinking is what our “gut” tells us what we should do. It is intuitive, emotional, and done with little thought or effort. Slow thinking is slow, deliberate, and logical. It usually takes more time, often includes numerical or factual information that our brain needs to process, and is void of emotion. Kahneman expresses the importance of making it a habit to train our brains into using the right way of “thinking” as we make decisions, as utilizing the wrong thinking system can lead to poor or even disastrous consequences. Kahneman, through intensive behavioral study, has determined that people are more successful if they can lean on the Slow Thinking method. Kahneman teaches his proven theory simply and includes a plan of action for learning to train the brain to use the correct “thinking” system. This novel takes a fascinating look at behaviors that can change our lives - personally, professionally, and financially. It is a book you should read to improve and utilize your thinking system the right way.

The Tipping Point: by Malcolm Gladwell | Summary & Analysis
Summary
The Tipping Point: by Malcolm Gladwell | Summary & Analysis A smarter you in 15 minutes. What is your time worth? How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference is a debut audiobook by Malcolm Gladwell that defines a tipping point as "the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point." The audiobook seeks to go into detail and describe the "mysterious" sociological changes that mark everyday activities. Gladwell states that, "Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread like viruses do." The Law of the Few by Malcolm Gladwell also states that, "The success of any social epidemic is heavily dependent upon the involvement of an individual with a particular and rare group of social gifts." For Malcolm Gladwell, economists label this the 80/20 Principle, which could be the idea, that in every situation roughly 80 percent of the work are going to be done by 20 percent with the participants". These people are described in the following ways: Connectors will be the population in every community who know large numbers of men and women, and who are in the habit of making introductions. They usually know people across numerous social, cultural, professional, and economic circles, and create a habit of introducing those who work, or are in different circles. Salespersons are "persuaders" - those with charismatic and powerful negotiation skills. They tend on an indefinable trait that goes beyond the things they say, making others desire to agree with them. The Stickiness Factor - A specific content of a message that renders its impact unforgettable. Popular children's television programs, including Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, pioneered the properties in the stickiness factor, thus enhancing effective retention of educational content, and also, entertainment value. The power of context in human behavior is to understand, and strongly depend on its environment.
