You know you’re going to get around to them soon – those books you intend to read. But, there they stand, in your “to-read-soon” list, still unread…
But, there are transferable principles to learn from them now. If you knew what they said, you might think differently, work differently… better.
So, here are some of the latest synopses we’ve just uploaded to our companion web site, 15minutebusinessbooks.com.
Each synopsis was recorded (audio recordings) live at our monthly event, the First Friday Book Synopsis, in Dallas. (We’ve been presenting book synopsis at our monthly event every month since April, 1998 — 16+ years now. The “we” is me, Randy Mayeux, and my colleague, Karl Krayer). You will receive:
The audio recording of our synopsis – about 15-17 minutes in length.
A multi-page, comprehensive handout, with the key content of the book (for the last few years, I’ve been including “my takeaways”).
We’ve just added:
Flash Boys by Michael Lewis – synopsis presented by Randy Mayeux
Talk Like TED by Carmine Gallo — synopsis presented by Karl Krayer
The Second Machine Age by Erik Brynjolfsson & Andrew McAfee — synopsis presented by Randy Mayeux
15minutebusinessbooks has many more synopses available, including these (all of these synopses presented by Randy Mayeux):
Malcolm Gladwell’s best sellers – The Tipping Point; Blink; Outliers; David and Goliath
Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg
Knowing Your Value by Mika Brzezinski
And many, many more.
Give us a try. I think you will find this to be a valuable resource.
