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.

Backwoods Witchcraft
Summary
In Backwoods Witchcraft, Jake Richards offers up a folksy stew of family stories, lore, omens, rituals, and conjure crafts that he learned from his great-grandmother, his grandmother, and his grandfather, a Baptist minister who Jake remembers could "rid someone of a fever with an egg or stop up the blood in a wound." The witchcraft practiced in Appalachia is very much a folk magic of place, a tradition that honors the seen and unseen beings that inhabit the land as well as the soil, roots, and plant life. The materials and tools used in Appalachia witchcraft are readily available from the land. This "grounded approach" will be of keen interest to witches and conjure folk regardless of where they live. Listeners will be guided in how to build relationships with the spirits and other beings that dwell around them and how to use the materials and tools that are readily available on the land where one lives. This book also provides instructions on how to create a working space and altar and make conjure oils and powders. A wide array of tried-and-true formulas are also offered for creating wealth, protecting one from gossip, spiritual cleansing, and more.

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.
