Histoire
Whether we realize it or not, we all take risks large and small every day. Even the most cautious among us cannot opt out - the question is always which risks to take, not whether to take them at all. What most of us don't know is how to measure those risks and maximize the chances of getting what we want out of life. In An Economist Walks into a Brothel, Schrager equips listeners with five principles for dealing with risk, principles used by some of the world's most interesting risk takers.

In his own words, the heavyweight champion of the world pulls no punches as he chronicles the battles he faced in and out of the ring in this fascinating memoir edited by Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Toni Morrison. Growing up in the South, surrounded by racial bigotry and discrimination, Ali fought not just for a living, but also for respect and rewards far more precious than money or glory.

This audiobook is the window into the underground world of cheating at the highest levels, which set off a frenzy of activity and hand-wringing in the offices of Major League Baseball and Congress. Through the authors' pursuit of sources and documents, they were able to open for public view a world in which elite athletes trade money and risk their health for the edge that will allow them to run faster, hit harder, and compete longer, and then cash in on the fame and wealth.

Histoire
This reissue of Thomas Sowell’s classic study of decision making, which includes a preface by the author, updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Anointed. Sowell, one of America’s most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making—a gap that threatens not only our economic and political efficiency but our very freedom.

Description
New York Times best seller
The inside story of the Houston Astros, whose relentless innovation took them from the worst team in baseball to the World Series in 2017 and 2019
“Reiter’s superb narrative of how the team got there provides powerful insights into how organizations - not just baseball clubs - work best.” (The Wall Street Journal)
Astroball picks up where Michael Lewis’s acclaimed Moneyball leaves off, telling the thrilling story of a championship team that pushed both the sport and business of baseball to the next level.
In 2014, the Astros were the worst baseball team in half a century, but just three years later they defied critics to win a stunning World Series. In this book, Ben Reiter shows how the Astros built a system that avoided the stats-versus-scouts divide by giving the human factor a key role in their decision-making.
Sitting at the nexus of sports, business, and innovation, Astroball is the story of the next wave of thinking in baseball and beyond, at once a remarkable underdog tale and a fascinating look at the cutting edge of evaluating and optimizing human potential.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Reiter’s superb narrative of how the team got there provides powerful insights into how organizations - not just baseball clubs - work best.” (Wall Street Journal)
"Colorful...Astroball plays like a giant crossword puzzle as pieces of the team are slotted in leading up to the franchise's historic moment." (USA Today)
"Astroball is the baseball book of the year, essential for baseball executives at every level, accessible and fun for fans." (Star Tribune)

Great book but…
Great book, very interesting. But you gotta understand that the book was wrote before we learned about the sign stealing scandal.
But great job by Ben Reiter, very interesting book.

A Very Entertaining Baseball Book
This book is a very entertaining mix of character studies and arguments for a mix of quantitative and qualitative measures in approaches to baseball management. The character studies are the greater contributions to discussions about baseball and are more likely to hook the casual fan. The argumentative parts of the book echo things that appear elsewhere and one can question them, but they are compelling explanations of the success of the Astros in particular and are well-grounded here in stories that should hook those new to the debates. Most importantly, this book is a lot of fun. I listened to it pretty compulsively. That is one of my main criteria for a good sports read and so I was glad to see this book fulfill it so easily. #Audible1

I am now a huge Ben Reiter fan
I learnt a lot about the Astros and baseball, as well, given I am more of a football fan. I wish he’d written Doug Pederson’s Fearless, which was so much less inspiring. He did a fine balance of baseball facts and colour, bringing the subject to life. I can’t wait to read more of his work and I’m glad he’s a relatively young guy with years of writing left in him.
