A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION * REVISED AND UPDATED“A book everyone ought to read-without question.”-ADAM GRANTTo get better answers, we must first ask better questions. Warren Berger reveals how in this beloved guide, with hundreds of thousands of copies sold.In his groundbreaking A More Beautiful Question, now updated throughout, innovation expert Warren Berger proves that one of the most powerful tools for spurring change is also the most under-appreciated. Questioning-deeply, imaginatively, “beautifully”-can help us identify and solve problems, come up with ideas, and pursue fresh opportunities. But in an education and business culture devised to reward rote answers, questioning isn't encouraged-and, in fact, is sometimes barely tolerated.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Book 101 Review in its Fifth season Michael Pietrobon as my guest.

Michael PietrobonBook DesignerMy main mission is simple: I want to make good book design accessible to everyone publishing a book. I believe that good book design is essential for a book's success. Cover design is only the start, and I've noticed that many authors tend to direct most of their efforts toward book design and neglect interior typesetting and functional ebook design entirely. Here's how I look at it: a good cover design attract potential readers who may not have heard of you or your work, but good typesetting and ebook design turn your customers into avid readers and loyal fans. Now, it goes without saying (but I'll say it anyways!) that the most important component to a book's success is the writing. The point I'm trying to make is that good typesetting and ebook design are mindful of a reader's needs and encourage the reader to keep reading. Adequate whitespace, clean typefaces, interactivity, and more, all contribute to a reader's positive encounter with your work. "The medium is the message," as Marshall McLuhan said.

Book 101 Review in its Fifth season, featuring Robert Lee as my guest.

Enoch, The First Witness: The First Four Days of Tribulation (End Time Witnesses, Enoch and Elijah Book 1)Enoch is book 1 of 6, which chronicles the Time of Sorrows, The Tribulation. Unlike other series of books similar in nature, this story recreates what today’s world could expect from God’s final two Witnesses. It explores Lucifer and the Fallen 200’s viewpoint, their story, and retribution.These six books are based on Daniel, Revelation, Matthew, coupled with the Book of Enoch.The Fallen 200 angels (who became demons) were bound by Enoch around 3250 BC for 70 generations. Their release would be around 1600 AD. This period of our history is the beginning of humanity exiting from the dark ages. This is the time when the King James Bible was released, Jamestown was founded in America, Galileo appeared, Johannes Kepler, the inquisition to stop science, to name a few. The world was changing. This series explores the possibility that these Fallen 200 influenced the enhancements in science, world expansion, technology, and philosophy.For four hundred years since the 200’s release, Lucifer and his followers have prepared for the day the first Witness arrives. They are ready to come out from the shadows and take over our world.Today is that day. God’s first Witness Enoch returns as Jack South who causes worldwide disasters to announce the beginning of Tribulation. Anchor John Roddenburg of Bear News provides Jack South with the opportunity to share his story with a worldwide audience. John then hosts a panel of religious leaders who challenge Jack’s message from God.The industrialist Aafre Waldger (Azazel) heads a worldwide organization which controls politicians, leaders, and finances throughout the world. Hearing Jack on Bear News, Aafre realizes the time has come to activate his end-time plans.Soon, in a worldwide sermon broadcast by John Roddenburg and Bear News, Enoch pulls back the curtain on the evil permeating the world by Lucifer and his followers.Elijah arrives and warns Israel and the world. He has a mandate to honor God’s agenda. His story ignites in Book II as he demands the Third Temple be built. Book 1 covers the first four days. Book 2 reveals the next five days.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Book 101 Review in its Fifth season, featuring Nathan Jamail as my guest.

The Leadership Playbook: Creating a Coaching Culture to Build Winning Business TeamsThere are enormous differences between managing and coaching. Yet many companies and organizations encourage their leaders to coach teams without ever teaching them how and without creating a culture that supports coaching.Nathan Jamail—a leading consultant, professional speaker, and the president of his own group of businesses—trains coaches at several Fortune 500 companies and learned that it takes not only different skills to achieve success, but a truly effective coach needs an organizational culture that creates and multiplies the success of every motivated team member. The Leadership Playbook shows leaders the skills necessary to be an effective coach and to build effective teams by: Fostering employees’ belief in the culture of a company Resolving issues proactively rather than reactively and creating an involvement that constantly pushes employees to be their best Focusing on the more humane principles of leadership—gratitude, positivity, and recognition—that keep morale high Holding teams and individuals accountable Constantly recruiting talent ("building the bench") rather than filling positions only when they are empty Combining research, interviews, and inspiring stories with the lessons that have earned Jamail the respect of the world’s foremost corporations including CISCO, FedEx, Sprint, the U.S. Army, and State Farm; The Leadership Playbook will dominate the category for years to come.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Book 101 Review in its Fifth season, featuring Justin Snyder as my guest.

Back in 2004 I was a 20 year old with no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I found myself travelling around IndiaOne day I came across a store selling this strange, dried green algae – they claimed it was a great source of protein, iron, beta-carotenes and so much more. It was Spirulina.Then it hit me...diet and nutrition are (almost) everything when it comes to being healthy and living well.Spirulina opened my eyes to the world of medicinal plants. I realised that long before pharmaceuticals, people improved every aspect of their well being through plants.BUT Spirulina was just the first of many incredible whole foods that I have discovered over the course of 20 years.Foods that could improve energy, nutrition, immunity, brain function and so much more... it still blows me away how relatively unknown these incredible foods are.In 2012, after almost 10 years of research and fascination with these plants - Forest Super Foods was born... but it had a very different name: Cheap Super Foods Forest Super Foods is a proud platinum partner with Rainforest Rescue. Every time you order we donate $1 of the proceedings to Rainforest Rescue and the money is used to lock up endangered Australian Rainforest forever. Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Book 101 Review in its Fifth season, featuring Sherianna Boyle as my guest.

Just Ask Spirit: Free Your Emotions to Energize Intuition and Discover PurposeWhen life feels frightening or uncertain . . . Just Ask Spirit! Readers interested in wellness, mindfulness, and developing their own intuitive gifts will discover the profound relationship between mental health and spirituality, and how emotions and Spirit, working together, offer infinite resources for connecting them to higher wisdom, healing, clarity, love, direction, purpose, and more. Emotions and Spirit are inextricably linked. When we block, control, or constrict our emotions, we also block the innate wisdom of Spirit to help and heal us. Instead, imagine a mindful practice, one that could allow us to receive healing, guidance, wisdom, clarity, and reassurance anytime we need it. Imagine that this guidance came from pure source energy, untarnished by restrictive, limited beliefs, judgment, thoughts, or attitudes. Sherianna Boyle, bestselling author of Emotional Detox and host of the popular podcast Just Ask Spirit, knows this is what is possible when we unify emotions and spirit.Just Ask Spirit does what few books can—it humanizes the mystical. It offers gifts that are accessible to all of us—like receiving spiritual direction and communicating with our guides and angels—while showing how this process interconnects with psychology and the science of our emotions, giving readers tools and techniques to apply to all aspects of their lives. Using practices backed by both science and ancient wisdom, Just Ask Spirit, provides an inner roadmap for building resiliency and overcoming obstacles, for developing intuition, spirit connection, and understanding what it means to ask.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Now What: 5 Steps to Get Up and Create the Most of LifeNow What? A question that often comes from rock bottom requires a strategy that looks at solutions, building a ladder one rung at a time to escape despair and uncertainty.Known for his work as a motivational consultant, international speaker and author, Ahmard Vital is excited to offer a hand to those seeking hope and purpose. With simple and calculated solution-based steps, Now What is a focused guide for young adults who want concrete, practical solutions to their problems. Whether they’ve been raised in troubled homes, embroiled in the criminal justice system, or advanced to the university level with no clear career path, Now What is designed to help them steer their life towards productive and preferred fulfillment. This strategic, thought-provoking, and empowering manual is broken into two phases: the Intention Phase (Reflect, Decide, Plan) and the Initiative Phase (Taking Action, Seek Counsel). According to Ahmard Vital, too many young adults today extend their adolescence into their 20s and early 30s without gaining necessary skills and maturity. Now What addresses these aspects of maturation: decision making, personal responsibility, delayed gratification, hard work, and embracing the tradeoffs of life, so that they can thrive as they enter adulthood.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Children of AbrahamIf you liked The Da Vinci Code, The Left Behind Series, or The Purpose Driven Life, you'll love Children of Abraham. Children of Abraham is an exciting, entertaining novel about redemption and the failure to redeem. It asks how we, our nations and the world would change if God made his presence undeniably known. A host of larger than life characters, each plagued with deep character flaws like pride, greed and hatred, navigate their lives as mysterious messages from God begin to appear in the media. At first the messages are thought to come from a supreme hacker, but, as they continue, a consensus grows that it just might be the Supreme Being. Christians, Catholics, Muslims, and Jews, the Children of Abraham, are all affected by the messages. The cultures differ-yet one universal message emerges that unites them all.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Book 101 Review in its Fifth season, featuring Ed Friedman as my guest.

I Will Not Be IgnoredI Will Not Be Ignored combines fiction, non-fiction and opinion to create a humorous take on three aspects of the author’s thinking: his outlook on the proliferation of “current wisdom” so plentiful in the internet age; his imaginings, providing multiple answers to different versions of “what if?”, and his personal experience in navigating his own shortcomings, failures, and fears.In the section of the book titled Things That Happened, we learn about Friedman’s lust for food he should be avoiding; his lack of any sense of direction behind the wheel; and his accumulation of medical specialists that seem to grow with each passing year. In the section Things That Could Happen, we find a man, Lou, possessed with a new power he doesn’t want; another man with a power he’s always wanted; and a machine that would solve a myriad of the world’s problems.In the section Things I Think I Think, the author admonishes the American Automobile Association; provides some tough love to those seeking personal advice from the New York Times; and issues a wakeup call to people who get information on real estate over the internet.This humor here is not meant to hurt but to tweak. And the person getting tweaked the most is undoubtedly the author.#PodMatchWant to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Out from the Shadows: Growing up with Holocaust Survivor Parents (Holocaust Heritage) Growing up, the author and his family constantly lived under the shadow of the Holocaust. There was persistent tension at home. He was frequently told: “Finish your dinner. We didn’t have food like this in the camps.”His parents only provided bits and pieces of their Holocaust experiences, since he “didn’t need to know.” A few years ago, Willie Handler decided that he did need to know. Thus began a journey into his family’s past, eventually revealing their extraordinary survival and painful losses. Their stories reflect not only the evil that swept Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, but also the resilience of the human spirit.His parents appeared to have taken some shocking secrets to their graves, forcing the author to view them in a different light. With the acknowledgement of his own buried trauma, and following years of research, he has finally stepped out of the shadows.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Book 101 Review in its Fifth season, featuring Charles Spinosa as my guest.

Leadership as Masterpiece Creation: What Business Leaders Can Learn from the Humanities about Moral Risk-TakingHow leaders can take the moral risks necessary to create “masterpieces”—admirable, distinctive, and high-achieving businesses that create meaningful lives for customers, employees, and themselves.In Leadership as Masterpiece Creation, Charles Spinosa, Matthew Hancocks, and Haridimos Tsoukas show how the humanities can help leaders create profitable, masterpiece organizations. Such organizations, they assert, are ones that possess the emotional and moral sensibilities of an artist, the wisdom of a statesperson, and the technical know-how of commerce. The authors draw on the works of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Bernard Williams, Shakespeare, and Machiavelli to conceptualize moral risk-taking, and then on the actions of Churchill, Madam C. J. Walker, Anita Roddick, Jeff Bezos, and others to show how the humanities can help create admirable businesses today.As management consultants and educators steeped in the humanities themselves, the authors discuss their experiences helping business leaders achieve successful masterpieces that bring good lives to many. After describing our contemporary business environment and examples of leaders who have created masterpiece organizations, the book turns to the basic skills of masterpiece creation: managing moods, building trust, listening for difference, and speaking truth to power. Then come the senior skills: moral risk-taking and creating a masterpiece organizational culture, strategy, and leadership style.
