The Real Truth About Success
Summary
Life and business aren’t fair, which is good. If they were, you couldn’t seize the unfair advantage. Think about it: Is your CEO the smartest person in the company? Is the head of your department more driven than you? Does the leading company in your industry make the best products? Probably not. They all have one thing in common, though. They’re on top of the pile because they discovered and exploited their unfair advantage, and with the guidance from business expert and motivational dynamo Garrison Wynn, you can do the same. The Real Truth About Success is the culmination of 10 years’ worth of interviews with more than 5,000 top performers in their fields. During the process, Wynn discovered that better brains, a positive attitude, and superior all-around quality rarely drive true success. Rather, the most successful people in the world leverage their unique, distinctive qualities - whatever they may be - to propel themselves to the front of the line. In The Real Truth About Success, Wynn helps you: Discover (or create) your own personal advantage Align it with the most appropriate goals Transition from self-knowledge to repeatable implementation Put your advantage to practical use, relentlessly Bask in the sunshine of well-deserved success All of us have a personal advantage we can use to stack the cards in our own favor. What’s yours? High intelligence? Good looks? Likability? Great connections? Your unfair advantage may well be a talent for leveraging other people's unfair advantage. Refreshingly (sometimes, brutally) honest about what it takes to get to the top, The Real Truth About Success blows the lid off the secret of their success, so you can make it the secret. Praise for the book: "Everyone is looking for the real in whatever they endeavor. Garrison Wynn went out looking for real answers to real success challenges - and he found them. If you want them, get this book real fast!" (Jeffrey Gitomer, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author of The Little Red Book of Selling)

Nicholas II: The Fall of the Romanovs
Summary
For over three centuries the Romanovs ruled over the world’s largest country. Throughout this time Imperial Russia faced many challenges, but none greater than those that brought about its demise in 1917: World war, the rise of the urban proletariat, and the birth of an heir afflicted with haemophilia. Even a forceful and inspiring leader would have struggled to turn back the tide of revolution that plagued this closing act, and Tsar Nicholas II possessed neither of these qualities. Lacking in the willingness to compromise, learn from his mistakes or confront difficult characters and issues, ‘Bloody Nicholas’ was denounced as fiercely at home for his mismanagement of the state as he was on the international stage for his oppressive rule: Sanctioning press censorship, anti-Semitic pogroms, and the massacring of peaceful protesters. But there was another side to Russia’s last tsar that the public never got to see. Shy, gentle and well-meaning, there is no doubt of his unwavering dedication to serving his family and country. Unfortunately, the Bolsheviks did not care about his redeeming qualities. They were out for revenge, and that was precisely what they would get. In the summer of 1918, Nicholas and his Romanov kin were brutally executed, and with them the old order was swept away - never to be seen again. The History Crash Course series provides short guides to a wealth of historical topics; suited to listeners who want to establish a general knowledge of an era or theme before progressing to heavier reading.
