Book excerpt: WHAT VALUABLE COMPANY IS NOBODY BUILDING? The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. It’s easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there. ‘Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.’ ELON MUSK, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla ‘This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.’ MARK ZUCKERBERG, CEO of Facebook ‘When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic.’ NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB, author of The Black Swan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adjusting to the sweltering heat of the Mississippi Delta is the least of Teri's troubles. Dragged there by her mother's ill-advised search for career development, she must now drudge her way through a new school, the constant tension between her parents, and the duplicitous nature of teenagers and adults alike. But then she meets a strange boy at school, Nother Martin, and as their relationship develops she is drawn into a world of moonshine and roadhouses, fortune tellers and grizzled Blues legends. In contrast to her own tangled relationships, she finds comfort in Nother's strong family bonds and his roots in the depthless South. As Teri learns about bad behavior and untimely death, she discovers a better, wiser version of herself. "The mind of a smart teen girl is a universe that has attracted many writers, and David Racine's Teri is one of the best.

[Teri's] perceptive voice adds depth and pathos to this modern-day bildungsroman."-Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Trial and the Art of Sailing written by Michael D. Schwartz and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2023-07-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overwhelming majority of cases never go to trial and, because of this, most attorneys, whether they’re new or seasoned litigators, don’t have a lot of actual trial experience. They find jury trials intimidating and awkward. Although experience is always the best teacher, what if you don’t have any, or not much? Your first clients shouldn’t have to suffer through your learning curve, and neither should you. Noted trial lawyer Michael Schwartz has come to the rescue in this informative and entertaining guidebook to help attorneys lacking experience or confidence, navigate trial work step by step, from the first client meeting to verdict. Like a good sail, Trial and the Art of Sailing zigzags back and forth along the waters of actual trial work and life, between blunt advice, mistakes lived and learned, anecdotes, war stories, strategy, and good, old fashioned commonsense. Schwartz’s nearly thirty years of experience has led to unmatched success and now you can have the same success in your own career. Book Review 1: "Michael has been referred to as one of the best defense attorneys in the country, and I couldn’t agree more! The material in his book is well worth the read.” -- Jan Mills Spaeth, Ph.D, Advanced Jury Research
