    Have you ever tried your hand at software development only to find out that it’s much harder than you prepared for? Not only do you have to make sure that your skills are at par with everybody else, but there is also the matter of coordinating with everyone involved in that project. And with collaboration comes the potential for complexity. Soon enough, you’ll be juggling different deadlines and correspondences, deal with differences in design approaches, and wade through deep technical problems.Aside from that, you’d have to deal with pressure from investors and stakeholders whose visions your team is trying to translate into something tangible but often get blindsided by last-minute committee decisions. Now, what if you are open to a more agile method of managing projects but find changes in your results to be insignificant? For instance, you might have adopted methodologies like Scrum and XP, but find your team going through the motions of the change instead of fully embracing such.Managing a project that requires collaborative effort is complicated and often challenging; there is no doubt about that. But what if someone were to tell you that you can help your team achieve its goals at a faster and far more effective pace? This is where this book comes into play.In this audiobook, you will learn the different Agile methodologies, the rationale behind their structures, and the values, principles, and concepts that you could use in employing them.

    Plague and pestilence have both fascinated and terrified humanity from the very beginning. Societies and individuals have struggled to make sense of them, and more importantly, they’ve often struggled to avoid them. Before the scientific age, people had no knowledge of the microbiological agents - unseen bacteria and viruses - which afflicted them, and thus, the maladies were often ascribed to wrathful supernatural forces. Even when advances in knowledge posited natural causes for epidemics and pandemics, medicine struggled to deal with them, and for hundreds of years, religion continued to work hand-in-hand with medicine.Inevitably, that meant physicians tried a variety of practices to cure the sick, and many of them seem quite odd by modern standards. By the time Rome was on the rise, physicians understood that contagions arose and spread, but according to Galen, Hippocrates, and other Greco-Roman authorities, pestilence was caused by miasma - foul air produced by the decomposition of organic matter.Though modern scientists have since been able to disprove this, on the face of it, there was some logic to the idea. Physicians and philosophers (they were very often the same, Galen being an example) noticed that disease arose in areas of poor sanitation, where filth and rotting matter was prevalent and not disposed of, and the basic measures to prevent disease was obvious to them.In the case of cholera, once among the most dreaded diseases, a breakthrough in Victorian England occurred in the mid-19th century during one of several epidemics to assault the island. In that instance, an unassuming physician named John Snow was able to trace the environmental component in which cholera was carried. He accomplished this in large part through a painstaking map cross-referencing location and specific cases of infection within a small area of London. Eventually, he narrowed the source down to a single manual water pump in the midst of the pover ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

    Impossible Goals, Inevitable Successes Why are you struggling to grow your business when everyone else seems to be crushing their goals? If you needed to triple revenue within the next three years, would you know exactly how to do it? Doubling the size of your business, tripling it, even growing 10 times larger isn't about magic. It's not about privileges, luck, or working harder. There's a template that the world's fastest growing companies follow to achieve and sustain much, much faster growth. From Impossible to Inevitable details the hyper-growth playbook of companies like the record-breaking Zenefits (which skyrocketed from $1 million to $100 million in two years); Salesforce.com (the fastest growing multibillion-dollar software company); and EchoSign, aka Adobe Document Services (which catapulted from $0 to $144 million in seven years). Whether you have a $1 billion or a $100,000 business, you can use the same insights as these notable companies to learn what it really takes to break your own revenue records. For instance, one of the authors shows how he grew his income from $67,000 to $720,000 in four years while maintaining a 20 to 30 hour work week and welcoming a new child - nine times. This powerful, effective book provides a template for you to kick off your biggest growth spurt yet. This template includes the seven ingredients of hyper-growth: You're not ready to grow until you nail a niche. Overnight success is a fairy tale. You're not going to be magically discovered. You need sustainable systems that create predictable pipeline. Growth exposes your weaknesses, and it will cause more problems than it solves - until you make sales scalable. It's hard to build a big business out of small deals. Figure out how to double your deal size. It'll take years longer than you want, but don't quit too soon. Make sure you can do the time. Your people are renting, ungekürzt. Language: English.

    How have Japanese companies become world leaders in the automotive and electronics industries, among others? What is the secret of their success? Two leading Japanese business experts, Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi, are the first to tie the success of Japanese companies to their ability to create new knowledge and use it to produce successful products and technologies. In The Knowledge-Creating Company, Nonaka and Takeuchi provide an inside look at how Japanese companies go about creating this new knowledge organizationally. The authors point out that there are two types of knowledge: explicit knowledge, contained in manuals and procedures, and tacit knowledge, learned only by experience, and communicated only indirectly, through metaphor and analogy. U.S. managers focus on explicit knowledge. The Japanese, on the other hand, focus on tacit knowledge. And this, the authors argue, is the key to their success - the Japanese have learned how to transform tacit into explicit knowledge. To explain how this is done - and illuminate Japanese business practices as they do so - the authors range from Greek philosophy to Zen Buddhism, from classical economists to modern management gurus, illustrating the theory of organizational knowledge creation with case studies drawn from such firms as Honda, Canon, Matsushita, NEC, Nissan, 3M, GE, and even the U.S. Marines. For instance, using Matsushita's development of the Home Bakery (the world's first fully automated bread-baking machine for home use), they show how tacit knowledge can be converted to explicit knowledge: when the designers couldn't perfect the dough kneading mechanism, a software programmer apprenticed herself with the master baker at Osaka International Hotel, gained a tacit understanding of kneading, and then conveyed this information to the engineers. In addition, the authors show that, to create knowledge, the best management style is neither top-down nor bottom-u ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Michael Redman.

    Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world. With world-famous leaders like King Tut and Cleopatra, it’s no wonder that today’s world has so many Egyptologists. Although the Egyptians may not have passed their civilization directly on to later peoples, the key elements that comprised Egyptian civilization, including their religion, early ideas of state, and art and architecture, can be found among other civilizations. For instance, civilizations far separated in time and space, such as China and Mesoamerica, possessed key elements that were similar to those found in ancient Egypt. Indeed, since Egyptian civilization represented some fundamental human concepts, a study of their culture can be useful when trying to understand many other pre-modern cultures. To the ancient Egyptians, as was the case with any society made up of inquiring humans, the world was a confusing and often terrifying place of destruction, death and unexplained phenomena. In order to make sense of such an existence, they resorted to teleological stories. Giving a phenomenon a story made it less horrifying, and it also helped them make sense of the world around them. Unsurprisingly, then, the ancient Egyptian gods permeated every aspect of existence. Given the abundance of funerary artifacts that have been found within the sands of Egypt, it sometimes seems as though the Ancient Egyptians were more concerned with the matters of the afterlife than they were with matters of the life they experienced f ungekürzt.

    Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a method of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps patients understand behavior-influencing thoughts and feelings. CBT is often used to treat a wide array of conditions including phobias, addictions, depression, and anxiety. In general, cognitive behavioral therapy is short-term and focuses on helping clients deal with a very specific problem. People learn how to recognise and alter destructive or upsetting patterns of thought that have a negative impact on attitudes and emotions during the course of treatment. The underlying concept behind CBT is that all our thoughts and feelings are essential to our behaviour. For instance, a person who spends a lot of time worrying about plane crashes, airport accidents, and other air disasters may consider themselves avoiding air travel. The aim of cognitive behavioral therapy is to show patients that while they are unable to control every part of the world around them, they can take control of how they perceive and handle things within their environment. In recent years, CBT has become increasingly popular with users of mental health and with practitioners in care. Because CBT is usually an option for short-term care, it is often more economical than some other types of therapy. CBT is also empirically validated and has been shown to help patients successfully resolve a wide range of maladaptive behaviours. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been used to treat people with a wide range of conditions, including: anxiety, phobias, addictions, depression, eating disorders, panic attacks, anger, etc. CBT is one of the most studied types of therapy, partially because counseling is based on highly specific goals and can be assessed relatively easily with outcomes. This book is for everyone (therapists and clients) who are new to the world of CBT or for anyone ready to discover more about the treatment powers in CBT...enjoy/ ungekürzt.

    “Never pry into a person's personal circumstances (they'll tell you all eventually).” (“The Ten Commandments for Con Men”, attributed to Victor Lustig)The art of the confidence trick is a controversial craft that is as old as time itself. In the early years of civilization, unscrupulous folks bottled and peddled assortments of fake cures and potions. Snake oil salesmen aside, charlatans posed as mystical beings with supernatural powers, promising to end droughts and other misfortunes of the gullible with what were in reality parlor tricks and illusions. Indeed, throughout history, unabashedly brazen characters managed to make careers out of deception. Seventeenth-century Britain, for instance, was terrorized by William Chaloner, the most infamous serial counterfeiter and con artist of his time before he was ultimately bested by Sir Isaac Newton himself. The British trickster posed as a quack doctor and a clairvoyant who dispensed false fortunes (most likely via an early form of cold reading) and bogus healing antidotes, but these were bush-league frauds in comparison to one of his most renowned claims to fame: He once bribed four Jacobite sympathizers to crank out pamphlets regarding King James II's denunciation of His Royal Highness William and later double-crossed his coconspirators by tipping off the cops and swiftly decamping with the $1,000 reward. Confidence women were equally active players in such dirty, fixed games. Doris Payne was a professional pilferer of jewels whose unconventional vocation spanned six decades. Throughout all her hits across the United States, Europe, and Asia, Payne adhered to a simple, yet effective method of operation: She donned stylish, pricey clothes, singled out impressionable male shopkeepers and distracted them with flirtatious small talk, and secretly palmed jewelry with sleight-of-hand tricks. One of the most recent was Frank Abagnale, a career impersonator, former forger of bank checks turned FBI empl ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Pickering.
