Histoire
What if charisma could be taught? For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial. What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment.

Histoire
The memoir of a neuroscientist whose research led him to a bizarre personal discovery, James Fallon had spent an entire career studying how our brains affect our behavior when his research suddenly turned personal. While studying brain scans of several family members, he discovered that one perfectly matched a pattern he’d found in the brains of serial killers. This meant one of two things: Either his family’s scans had been mixed up with those of felons or someone in his family was a psychopath.

Power is one of the most misunderstood - and therefore vilified - concepts in our society. Many assume power is predetermined by personality or wealth, or that it’s gained by strong-arming others. You might even write it off as “dirty” and want nothing to do with it. But by staying away from power, you give it up to someone else who may not have your best interest in mind. We must understand and use our power to have impact, and pioneering researchers Julie Battilana and Tiziana Casciaro provide the playbook for doing so in Power, for All.

This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Brandon P. Fleming grew up in an abusive home and was shuffled through school, his passing grades a nod to his skill on the basketball court, not his presence in the classroom. He turned to the streets and drug deals by 14, saved only by the dream of basketball stardom. When he suffered a career-ending injury during his first semester at a Division I school, he dropped out of college, toiling on an assembly line, until depression drove him to the edge. Miraculously, his life was spared. Returning to college, Fleming was determined to reinvent himself as a scholar.

Description
An engaging guide to how Stoicism - the ancient philosophy of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius - can provide lessons for living in the modern world
Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that teaches us to act depending on what is within our control and separate things worth getting upset about from those that are not. By understanding Stoicism, we can learn to answer crucial questions. Should we get married or divorced? How should we bank in a world nearly destroyed by a financial crisis? How can we survive great personal tragedy? Whoever you are, Stoicism has something for you - and How to Be a Stoic is your essential guide.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Stoicism for First World Problems
Massimo provides an acceptable introduction to Stoicism as a well as some good background information in regard to the historical roots and modern branches of this tradition. However, the overall work is relatively shallow and poor when compared to the actual philosophical texts which he cites. I suggest reading the original books on the subject first.
Massimo is a professor of philosophy, and what he provides here is a personal account of applying the principles of Stoicism to his own life. The troubles and travails that he uses to relate his application of Stoicism to modern life are all pedestrian; the death of his parents in old age, the minor inconveniences of one who is a successful academic. While I do not wish to denigrate Massimo's personal experience and suffering, I do not feel that it provides adequate scope for the full consideration of the application of Stoicism to modern life.
To be fair, part of my dissatisfaction with this work has to do with the narrator, who's bland and plodding tone rendered this book drier and more boring than it needed to be, like a cut of meat that would have done well if marinated, but was instead grilled to being overdone. Honestly it would have been better if Massimo himself had read it, as his voice is rich and expressive in the parts of the text he does read.
If you would like to learn about Stoicism, I encourage you to read Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, or perhaps Seneca. For a more modern consideration of Stoicism as it applies to life, I strongly encourage you to read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankel, who was a psychiatrist before he was placed in Auschwitz by the Nazis, and who writes with phenomenal compassion and clarity about his experiences as a holocaust survivor, as well as about how he applied what he learned to helping his patients.
This book was not a waste of my time, but there are better books available on the subject. I would very much like to read a treatise on modern Stoicism written by a contemporary psychologist or someone who otherwise has the background to deliver both a broader view of human life and a clearer sense of the implications of recent advances in psychology to the practice of Stoicism.

Enjoyable and parctical for us Westerners
Peter is fun to listen to, and the subject matter, Stoicim, is made easy to consume and apply right away. I find myself going to this time and time again on long drives.
I've read a few books on Stoicim by Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, and Massimo ties them in real well.
