Radius
Summary
RADIUS, the sequel to the best-selling business audiobook Third Circle Theory, (which since 2013 has sold well over 300,000 copies worldwide), continues on Secret Entourage's mission to bring meaningful business education to the masses. As more and more people embark on the idea that small business ownership and entrepreneurship may be the only path of finding monetary and personal success in a very crowded and ever evolving global economy, it only made sense for me to create a powerful blueprint that would highlight all aspects of business mastery. Written from a universal lens, RADIUS helps listeners understand the powerful five entrepreneurial pillars that every business in every industry worldwide falls under. From the idea phase, to the birth of a product or service, to understanding the revenue model of a business, to the start of the brand which eventually, when re-used and recycled, can lead to a very robust empire. The five pillars of RADIUS are the checkpoints that each and every business has an opportunity to cross, but very few do. By understanding the mechanics behind each and every one of them, the listener is able to literally understand how far along their business is, and how prepared they are to take the next step. This incredible new system breaks down the processes and most important concepts behind each pillar, such as how to ensure you are pursuing the correct idea, how to understand the pricing and revenue models of a business, how to penetrate an audience through the REACH model, and how to recycle resources and customers to create multiple profitable verticals as fast as possible, and many more. All of these concepts are presented in the form of processes that can be universally applied across the spectrum of any business, and at any given time, in its life cycle.

Savarkar: Echoes of a Forgotton Past, Vol. 1: Part 1
Summary
As the intellectual fountainhead of the ideology of Hindutva, which is in political ascendancy in India today, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is undoubtedly one of the most contentious political thinkers and leaders of the 20th century. Accounts of his eventful and stormy life have oscillated from eulogizing hagiographies to disparaging demonization. The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between and has unfortunately never been brought to light. Savarkar and his ideology stood as one of the strongest and most virulent opponents of Gandhi, his pacifist philosophy, and the Indian National Congress. An alleged atheist and a staunch rationalist who opposed orthodox Hindu beliefs, encouraged inter-caste marriage and dining, and dismissed cow worship as mere superstition, Savarkar was, arguably, the most vocal political voice for the Hindu community through the entire course of India's freedom struggle. From the heady days of revolution and generating international support for the cause of India's freedom as a law student in London, Savarkar found himself arrested, unfairly tried for sedition, transported and incarcerated at the Cellular Jail, in the Andamans, for more than a decade, where he underwent unimaginable torture. From being an optimistic advocate of Hindu-Muslim unity in his treatise on the 1857 War of Independence, what was it that transformed him in the Cellular Jail to a proponent of "Hindutva", which viewed Muslims with suspicion? Drawing from a vast range of original archival documents across India and abroad, this biography in two parts - the first focusing on the years leading up to his incarceration and eventual release from the Kalapani - puts Savarkar, his life, and his philosophy in a new perspective and looks at the man with all his achievements and failings.

Being Authentic
Summary
Our existence is fragile. The being we are today may not be the same tomorrow. I learned that in many intricate ways, long before the COVID-19 pandemic, so I do not take today for granted. On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. I have survived more than three years now. But I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I do not even know if tomorrow will come. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me. With my cancer, I have the advantage of knowing that my existence is finite. The fragility of our life and my awareness of my finitude made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic - we become our true selves when we author who we are. With writing my narrative, I have an opportunity to view it, reflect on it, and, if we wish, edit it. Authenticity, in the end, is not a task that gets done, once and for all. Authenticity is a fragile experience of becoming. And we do it together. We become our real selves for a restless moment, and we can lose authenticity in an instant if we do not keep our sights on it. I have encountered many individuals to whom I said, “You should write your story!” I thought as I am doing this same work that the best way to encourage others to write is for me to tell my own story. I do not aspire to set an example. If anything, I hope to attract a dialogue and spur reflection. With COVID-19, we are living a heightened awareness of our existence and consciousness. Now is the time to bring more of these reflections and dialogues. Now is the time to share more stories. I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, to be recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. Not to be forgotten is precisely what I want. I recognize we forget folks, and life goes on. To imagine or to aspire not to vanish from memories is a delusion. Still, that is what I aspire to. I tell my story, so those who wish to remember me can have it. I aim to make it possible for them to know me as who I am. I have lost many, and it has troubled me that we can forget. We are losing thousands of people every day to this pandemic, and I do not want them to be forgotten. I hope we can keep their memory alive, and I worry about letting them die again if their stories are forgotten. Writing is my way of defying death as nothingness. As I am writing Being Authentic, I have the other in my mind. I am writing for someone other than myself to find this. I am writing to every human. Is that a lofty goal? Yes. But what if I have no other chance to speak to my listeners after this? Because of my fear of being forgotten, I have written to invite as many people as possible to know me. I also mean to tell as much as I could about myself. While doing that, I hoped to transcend my narrow focus on myself to leverage my curiosity and attempt to find matters about which others can be curious. But neither did I want to focus only on my error, nor this book is an attempt to redeem myself from my mistakes. I did not omit the mistakes, and I have opened ample space to reflect on what was not consistent with who I thought I was. I leverage this space to relate to those who err every day. They are the brave among us who choose to continue to act. I, like these people, hope to continue doing something, and that means we will continue to err. While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the listeners and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, “This is my narrative."

The Lean Sensei
Summary
What is a lean sensei and what exactly do they do? That is the key question at the heart of this important new book sharing the secret of lean thinking, which Dan Jones calls “the alternative business model for our age”. Jones explains that “behind all the tools for operational excellence and the different management system needed to support their use, lies a much deeper challenge: to develop the human potential of everyone to create a culture of accelerating continuous improvement to meet today’s changing circumstances. Learning is at the heart of lean.” The Lean Sensei provides both a conceptual and hands-on toolkit for developing lean leaders and becoming one yourself. It will challenge you to reflect on how you coach, share mindful questions that improve your awareness of what to look for, and keep both you and your students focused on the signs, symptoms, and syndromes that can slow your lean success. This book, authored by six lean pioneers who have experienced and followed the path of the sensei, shares a radical vision of how to flourish with this approach. They argue that "lean" is a system of gaining competitiveness by continuously developing people, and as such, sensei play a vital role in helping others deepen their thinking every day. To be effective in transforming processes and the people who operate within them, any sensei must first learn to transform themselves, as the authors explain. Praise for the book: "No one can do lean for you. It is up to you. But you will also need a sensei to help you discover new ways of seeing and acting and to help everyone learn to adapt to a rapidly changing world. These lean pioneers discovered what senseis really do. Learn from them before you search for your own sensei.” (Daniel T. Jones, coauthor of The Machine That Changed the World, Lean Thinking, Lean Solutions, and The Lean Strategy)

Cannabis Oil: QuickStart Guide
Summary
The world we live in today is far different than it was 100 years ago. In fact, it is vastly different from the world of even 10 years ago. The advances in the medical science field deserve the most praise. These advances have improved and enhanced treatment methods for the diseases and ailments that are ever more present in society. Out of these advances, cannabis oil has been one of the most effective and widely adopted medical treatment methods of the last century. Cannabis oil, also referred to as hemp oil, is greatly different from marijuana that individuals use to get "high" and even different from medical marijuana administered by medical professionals. The main component, the active ingredient in cannabis oil, is a cannabinoid by the name of Cannabidiol (CBD). The absorption of CBD by the body does not result in any psychoactive effects, such as a feeling of being "high" or "stoned." Rather, their effects on the body can be described as calming and soothing, both on a physical level which an individual can recognize as well as on a level beneath the skin. The active ingredient in Marijuana that is used for recreational or medicinal purposes, on the other hand, is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the cannabinoid that induces the feeling of being "high" that is most often associated with all forms of cannabis. The reported benefits of cannabis oil vary greatly and span medical conditions such as cancer, epilepsy, insomnia, and high blood pressure. Cannabis oil has been touted by some as a "miracle treatment" for many conditions that simply did not have an effective treatment with minimal side effects available to consumers.
