Summary Station

Jeff Olson introduces his readers to the idea that every single person on this planet has the potential to either turn into a poor, unsuccessful beach bum, or into a successful entrepreneur with a huge balance on his bank account. He tells his own story - about how he went from failure to success to another failure, and how he slowly learned that failure and success both happen for the same reason, and that this one single reason can either work for or against you, depending on how you use it. The reader is motivated by reading on because they would like to know more about the idea that people have complete control about the direction their life is taking.

Learn About The History Of Humanity In A Fraction Of The Time It Takes To Read The Actual Book!!! Today only, get this 1# Amazon bestseller for just $2.99. Regularly priced at $9.99. Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device The human race developed from a complex background. Different types of Homo evolved depending on the area that they lived in. Neanderthals developed in the hotter climates of earth and are adapted best for this climate, and other Homos are best suited for the places they are found the most. After millions of years, Homo sapiens started to expand over the globe, mating and killing the local Homo species until it was Homo sapiens that dominated the earth. This can be seen in those native to different areas of the earth now, who possess around 1-5% of the genes of those Homos from that area. Once Homo sapiens were spread around the earth, a variety of changes happened over many thousands of years so they became adapted to finding food and functioning as a society. Homo sapiens moved from the middle of the food chain to the top as they possess a skill no other animal does, the ability to imagine concepts and scenarios. This means that humans can have a common bond with any other person without having met them before just because they believe in the same God or the strength of the tribe.

Learn About The Sobibor Concentration Camp And The People Who Escaped In A Fraction Of The Time It Takes To Read The Actual Book!!! Today only, get this 1# Amazon bestseller for just $2.99. Regularly priced at $9.99. Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device Escape from Sobibor builds the personality and heart of the story it contains by firstly focussing on the personality and story of Shlomo, a Jewish boy sent to the camp who survives as a Goldsmith for the Nazis. It tells of how he and his family were impacted by the Nazis before being taken to the camp, and the trials he had to go through before he even gets there. This sets the reader up to realise the fact the Nazis would kill the Jews is not out of character from how we have seen them so far, and this also adds a new level of evil to how they are established. Shlomo's caring nature for his brothers and family shows how many of the people who went to Sobibor would have felt. He can act as a placeholder for almost anyone who goes into the camp, with just his skill at Goldsmithing saving his life over everyone else. This also shows how the Nazis in charge of the camp reduced the personality, experiences, and everything that makes a person who they are. Richard Rashke focusses so much on Shlomo and the personality of a select few workers of the camp that the reader forms a connection with them, making their fate more impactful. He also builds on the personality of the Jewish prisoners. In modern holocaust study the Jewish are painted as victims and all grouped together into a faceless mass rather than shown as individual people with emotions and families, just as anyone alive today. By focussing on a select few, he shows the personalities that readers can recognise and reflect on rather than just telling of the acts that were committed onto a faceless group. Rashke also chose to tell this story as it is one not commonly known to the general public. It shows that there were many camps built to kill and contain not only Jewish, but other types of populations the Nazis did not like. The only reason Sobibor is known is due to the escape, so therefore its story should be shared as much as possible because it is one the Nazis tried so hard to hide. Rashke chose to share the story for this reason, one of defiance towards those that hurt so many. The book is based on interviews with the survivors of the camp and those that experienced the escape first hand so the content sticks to their stories as much as possible to truly show the truth. His passion about the subject and telling the truth is reflected in the content of the writing and also the focus on the individual person rather than the people. This creates a book that will stay with a reader forever and teach them more about the holocaust and World War 2 than they will have learnt from education or books that just present the facts without the heart.Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn When You Download Your Copy Today * How The Sobibor Concentration camp Was Operated* The Reason Why Certain Prisoners Were Kept Alive * Learn About The Massive Escape That Took Place And The People Who SurvivedDownload Your Copy Today!

Learn About What Makes Great Comedy In A Fraction Of The Time It Takes To Read The Actual Book!!! Today only, get this 1# Amazon bestseller for just $2.99. Regularly priced at $9.99. Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device Judd Apatow, the comedic mastermind behind films like Knocked Up, Funny People, and most recently Trainwreck, starts his book of interviews by telling us why his obsession over comedy never faltered during the course of his life. He grew up watching comedic greats like Steve Martin and George Carlin, and their talent inspired a love affair for comedy that only grew as time went on. The 1970s especially stuck with Apatow, and performances from Richard Pryor and the Monty Python gang, as well as the classic show Saturday Night Live, cemented Judd's loyalty to comedy and enabled him to decide early on what he wanted to do with his life-he wanted to make people laugh.Negative experiences in his early life also prompted Judd to seek comfort in comedy. He notes quite openly that he was a somewhat angry kid who did not understand life or the world around him very much. His parents divorced and he was a loner in school. In fact, he explains that he truly was picked last for gym class-all the time. He was small and quiet, and this further distanced him from those around him. However, instead of letting this ruin him, he decided he was the "cool" one and everyone else had the problem. He concentrated on comedy more and more and he knew, without a doubt, that it filled a void in his life while also making him feel less weird and less alone. In the world of comedy, the funny guys were in charge and Apatow wanted to immerse himself in the comedic circuit permanently.

Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device In the introduction, author Steven Johnson shares some valuable knowledge about the journey ahead. While inventions are exciting, it is important to remember that the innovations in this book belong to everyday, normal life, not science fiction. Johnson details several groundbreaking yet simple inventions (air-conditioning, a glass of clean drinking water, etc.) that utterly changed our lives, and how these changes further inspired more ingenuity and occurrences that we may not even know are connected. Take for example the printing press. Do you know that Gutenberg's press led to our ability to view microscopic cells? That may not be a connection we easily make, but when we break down the timeline of inventions, it becomes quite clear. Gutenberg invented the printing press, which created a "surge in demand for spectacles." Reading now enabled people to realize they had vision problems (farsightedness), so the growing need for spectacles urged people to "experiment with lenses" to help various eye "types." This brought about the invention of the microscope, which of course, made us able to look at our cells and study them.

Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device In The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance—What Women Should Know, Katty Kay and Claire Shipman attempt to define confidence, to determine how it is developed, and to give guidelines for developing it. Without confidence, you lack boldness and faith in your abilities, and this dearth can greatly affect your mental health as well as your career success. Low confidence can make women appear incompetent.Their premise is that confidence is “in alarmingly short supply” for women. Why women in particular? Some bigots suggest that women are biologically inferior, others insist that children change women's priorities so that careers, and the confidence that comes with doing a job well, are not important. Others blame the cultural, social, and institutional barriers set against women's success. Kay and Shipman acknowledge that there is some truth in the latter two reasons but point out that the main reason women have lower confidence levels is because they tend to lack self-belief. The authors find that women need to stop worrying about failure, second-guessing, and to put less emphasis on how others might perceive them. Women need to stop worrying that they cannot succeed but instead start taking action and risking failure. By not believing that you can succeed, you are less likely to even try.

Regularly priced at $9.99. Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device The opening chapter of Sestero's book introduces us to Tommy Wiseau, the eccentric filmmaker himself, as he treats his friend, Greg Sestero, to a celebratory dinner at Hollywood's Palm Restaurant. Filming of Wiseau's film, The Room, starts the following day. Sestero explains that Wiseau wrote, directed, produced, cast, and starred in the film—a true passion project. Sestero spends the majority of this chapter detailing Wiseau's all around strangeness. For example, Tommy's hair is long and unkempt, he wears outdated clothes with two (yes, two) belts on his pants, and he drinks glasses of hot water with every meal. Two girls come over to the table, introducing themselves and flirting accordingly, and Wiseau—who speaks in broken English—insults them viciously and hilariously in a French(ish) accent. Wiseau then racks up a huge bill, barely tips the waiter, and storms out of the restaurant in traditional Tommy Wiseau fashion. Wiseau then drives himself and Sestero from the restaurant at a mere twenty miles per hour in his Mercedes. In the car, Tommy makes Greg an interesting offer the day before his film's production; Tommy wants Greg to star in The Room as Mark, a character who betrays Tommy's lead character, Johnny.

She told him that exposing yourself, being willing to let people see the real you with no idea what will happen, is the only way that leads to more happiness, love, and acceptance. Then he asked about the drawbacks. She said, it's hard, it will hurt, and kick you in the ass. So despite that, is it still worth it? Absolutely!

Find Out About The Psychology Of Investing In A Fraction Of The Time It Takes To Read The Actual Book!!!For a limited time, get a summary and analysis of this 1# Amazon bestseller for just $2.99. Regularly priced at $9.99. Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device This book announces early on that its purpose is to help an average person adopt and carry out an investment policy. Rather than focusing on analyzing securities, the book devotes itself to explaining investment principles and attitudes. Its history of republication and new editions certainly secures its place as a worthwhile read for any serious investor. The fourth edition preface by Warren Buffett, in which he claims that this is the best investment book he has read, does not hurt either.In the introduction, Benjamin Graham explains that the book presents principles for intelligent investing while warning that there are no foolproof ways to make money. He names two types of investors: the defensive and the enterprising. The defensive investor is passive; his chief purpose is to avoid making serious mistakes or losses while also putting in less effort and making less frequent decisions. The enterprising investor is active or even aggressive; he is more than willing to devote time and energy to selecting securities that are stable and more attractive than average. Graham explains that the enterprising investor may expect better returns for his extra effort over the course of a few decades, but Graham doubts that substantial gain is guaranteed for that investor. He also details examples of how investment professionals, the experts, can and have been wrong. For instance, many investment companies favored airline stocks because they foresaw the number of travelers rising; the premise for their faith in these stocks was true--the number of frequent fliers did rise. However, the airlines themselves struggled to be profitable. A the same time, many of those investing professionals realized that computers would become ubiquitous for businesses at least, but they were not certain of this growth in this field, so they limited their investments in computer companies and did not necessarily privilege the one computer company that heavily paid off its investors, which was IBM. These examples lead Graham to naming two morals: that obviously good prospects for growth in a business do not translate into obvious profit for the investors, and that the experts do not have dependable methods of selecting the most promising companies in the most promising fields. This first moral; that obviously good growth prospects do not translate into obvious profit, needs further explanation. If most investors are expecting massive growth in one industry, than that industry would seem like the obvious one to invest in, but the prices for its stocks have already increased from so many people buying it, that its future returns must go down. A stock becomes more risky as its price goes up and less risky as its price drops.Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn When You Download Your Copy Today• Learn How Companies Change Financial Records To Mislead Investors • Learn Why Warren Buffet Considers This Book To Be One Of The Most Important Investing Guides • Learn About Why You Should Not Focus On A Single Year Of Earnings When Researching Business Investments• Learn About How To Have The Correct Mindset Or Psychology To Make A Successful InvestmentDownload Your Copy Today!

Regularly priced at $9.99. Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device In her introduction, the author tells us that we live in a society in which the introvert is still seen as a minority. In the past, some studies claimed that only about a third of the population is made up of introverts. In the introduction, and also throughout the book, Laurie Helgoe names more recent studies that have all shown that about half of the population consists of introverts. She explains that it still is a common misconception that introverts are rare because we live in a society that places a high value on extroversion (unlike a country like Japan, for example).Introverts often feel stressed because in the USA, it's all about thinking on your feet and making instant decisions, partially because modern technology makes it possible for people to be contactable 24/7. It is in the nature of introverts that they want to think things through, and make decisions they can feel comfortable with (and not regret later). Laurie Helgoe writes that introverts have great inner strengths, but often cannot use them in our society because there is so much pressure on everybody to act like an extrovert. She wants her book to be a tool for introverts to become more confident, and stop hiding their own personalities and strengths. She also clarifies the terms of introversion and extroversionHere Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn When You Download Your Copy Today* How Introverts Can Be Just As Successful As Extroverts * The Reason Why Most Societies Pressure Introverts To Act Like Extroverts * Learn How Introverts Can Attend Social Situations Without Feeling Awkward Download Your Copy Today!

Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device Bessel Van der Kolk M.D. is the author of "The Body Keeps the Score." In this book Bessel examines the ways that trauma can affect people and how they can recover from past dramatic events. When a person experiences trauma it will change the wiring in their brain and this will cause a change in the way that a person views their life and everyday situations. Trauma has a negative effect on both the body and mind in a way that will prevent a person affected by trauma from enjoying the present moment. Bessel and his colleagues have been researching trauma and the people affected by it for almost 50 years. This journey began for Dr. Bessel when he met with Vietnam War veterans who were suffering from the trauma they experienced in the war. This trauma caused these veterans to struggle with the transition of coming back home and resuming a normal life. These trauma suffers all had certain symptoms that they shared. The traumatic events that were experienced at war were constantly being replayed in the brains of the veterans. In addition to this, the veterans also appeared to be numb or indifferent to everyday life and they would become angry very easily. Dr. Bessel is considered to be the very first Dr. to diagnose and recognize posttraumatic stress disorder which is also known as PTSD. He was also one of the first doctors to identify cures and methods for assisting the people who were affected by PTSD so that they could once again live a normal life.

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kid | SummaryBook Preview:In The Secret Life of Bees, the narrator's voice is quite convincing as a 14-year-old girl. Sue Monk Kidd uses a straightforward style, adding small remnants of magical realism to incorporate the bees, as well as the strange string of events that brings Lily and Rosaleen to the Boatwright house. Using historical markers-like the Civil Rights Act-Kidd manages to keep the story grounded in real events, counterbalancing a few fantastic or eccentric elements, like the pink house and a non-traditional view on religion. The beginning of each chapter features a quotation from nonfiction works that deals with bees and beekeeping. They all serve similar purposes, but much of the quotes are only loosely related to beekeeping.

Michelle Alexander names three audiences whom she intends to reach and inform with her book. The first is composed of people who care profoundly about racial justice but who do not yet realize the enormous crisis of mass incarceration of people of color. The second is composed of the people who recognize a trend in the criminal justice system that resembles the racism of decades ago but who do not have the facts to back their beliefs. Last of all, she hopes to reach the many people incarcerated in the American prison system. She then uses an antidote to explain her main point, that the U.S. incarceration system continues the racial discrimination evident in our country's history. Jarvious Cotton's great-great grandfather was unable to vote because he was a slave. Cotton's great grandfather was killed by the Ku Klux Klan for attempting to vote. His grandfather did not vote because of the KKK's threats. Cotton's father could not vote because of poll taxes and literacy tests. And, finally, Cotton cannot vote because he was once convicted as a felon. Alexander explains that voting is the most basic democratic freedom and right, yet black people throughout U.S. history have been unable to hold or else exercise that right. Furthermore, racial discrimination continues today in a legalized form because once-convicted felons are legally required to explain their background and may be legally refused service or opportunities because of it. While the reasons and rationalizations that have been used to support racial exclusion and discrimination have changed over the years, the outcome is mostly the same. In other words, in spite of the seeming advances of today, discrimination continues under the pretext of a different language; while our society likes to exemplify a "colorblind" mentality, racist ideology is implicitly carried out through the criminal justice system. Once a person is labeled a felon, employment and housing discrimination are legal, even expected; furthermore, the right to vote, educational opportunities, jury service, and food stamps as well as other forms of public benefit are revoked. The pre-Civil War and pre-Civil Rights Movement discrimination has not ended but been redesigned.Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn When You Download Your Copy Today How Jim Crow Laws Have Evolved Through American History The Reason Why America Has The Highest Incarceration Rate Learn How The war On Drugs Was Set Up To Target MinoritiesDownload Your Copy Today!

While he's confined, Burnham delivers a message to Frank Millet, a dear friend aboard the Titanic. In light of the Titanic's accident, the message is rejected.
