Viking Economics:
Summary
Liberals worldwide invoke Scandinavia as a promised land of equality, while most conservatives fear it as a hotbed of liberty-threatening socialism. But the left and right can usually agree on one thing: that the Nordic system is impossible to replicate elsewhere. The US and UK are too big, or too individualistic, or too - something. In Viking Economics - perhaps the most fun economics audiobook you've ever listened to - George Lakey dispels these myths. He explores the inner-workings of the Nordic economies that boast the world's happiest, most productive workers, and explains how, if we can enact some of the changes the Scandinavians fought for, surprisingly recently, we too can embrace equality in our economic policy.

The Leadership Killer
Summary
There are plenty of leadership how-to books, filled with advice such as "just do this to get ahead". Lots of books tell you how to become a leader. This book tells you how to stay successful once you've gotten into a leadership role. The Leadership Killer: Reclaiming Humility in an Age of Arrogance aims to help aspiring, early-stage, and experienced leaders alike answer a critical question: "How will I use my leadership power?" Coauthored by globally renowned author and executive development trainer Bill Treasurer and retired US Navy SEAL Captain John Havlik, this audiobook unites civilian and military experiences to explore precisely why some good leaders go bad, so you can avoid their mistakes. With decades worth of insight drawn from leading elite military special operations teams, global companies, and organizations, The Leadership Killer includes insightful stories and actionable strategies for becoming, and more importantly, staying a more effective, confident, and humble leader. The Leadership Killer: Reclaiming Humility in an Age of Arrogance exposes hubris - the single most lethal leadership flaw. Being a good leader doesn't require being a bad person, and if you know what to look out for, Treasurer and Havlik point out, you can keep your ego and hubris in check and become (and stay) a leader who is effective, successful, and good. "With plenty of books written already on how to succeed as a leader, Bill Treasurer and John Havlik offer us something new and greatly needed - practical wisdom on how to survive leadership success." (John R. Ryan, President and CEO, Center for Creative Leadership, vice admiral, United States Navy (Retired)) "The Leadership Killer is the literary equivalent of a super tough workout or a day of SEAL training...a book every leader must read." (Rear Admiral Kerry Metz, USN (retired), Former SEAL and first commander of Special Operations Command North)

Thrall
Summary
The last thing Jesse Coaglan ever wanted to do was return to his hometown of Thrall, New Jersey. Tucked away in the wilds of the northwestern corner of the state, Thrall has always been a very strange place to live. The town was a poison that affected people's minds, their souls, their bodies, and their perspectives. So Jesse abandoned his friends and the one woman he loved, and left everything behind. Seven years later, Jesse has found a reason to return - a reason that, in spite of his best attempts otherwise, he can't ignore. His old love, Mia Dalianis, has left him a voicemail message begging him to come back, if not for her, then for the daughter Jesse never knew he had. Jesse needs to go back. He's been running for a long time - from relationships, friendships, everything he is afraid of and feels guilty over. He realizes that the nightmares will never stop until he goes to Thrall. With help from Nadia Richards and some old surviving friends from Thrall, Jesse intends to find his daughter or die trying. He goes looking for redemption, but what he discovers about his old hometown may destroy him and everyone he's ever cared about.

Triumph of Love over Ego
Summary
We are children of God, utterly perfect and filled with love, and all creation looks to us with joy. Long ago, when we became involved with evil, something came into being that had never before existed: the ego. It separates us more and more from our true essence and origin, keeps us imprisoned in the dark dungeon and labyrinth of evil and turns us into ego-slaves. It destroys our happiness, poisons our thoughts, sabotages our good intentions and makes us fearful and hostile. In Triumph of Love over Ego, we learn to understand the reasons for our experiences, receive clear answers and simple solutions. As a result, we arrive at a true expansion of consciousness and increasingly experience a zest for life, strong-mindedness, the courage for self-realization, enjoyment of change, abundance and true happiness. And so our life becomes a joyful adventure and the world turns into a playground of beautiful and happy ideas. This is the final triumph of eternal love over the impermanent ego. For every heart, the only way to obtain love, peace and ease of mind is through truth and self-realization. It is Saeed’s dearest wish as well as his life’s purpose that his multi-faceted, international creative work should illuminate this path.
