How Fantasy Sports Explains the World: What Pujols and Peyton Can Teach Us About Wookiees and Wall Street , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 332min
An entertaining, anecdotal exploration of how the skills used in evaluating fantasy sports talent are one and the same with the skills we all use every day of our lives. The world of fantasy sports is no longer the purview of nerds and stat geeks. In fact, versions of the game are currently played by tens of millions of people worldwide. But while fantasy sports may have begun as a light-hearted diversion, to many of its participants winning or losing is no laughing matter. The book takes readers on a journey from the casinos of Atlantic City to charred Connecticut campgrounds, from the Last Supper to the Constitutional Convention that started our country down the road to democracy, from the back rooms of Wall Street to the jury rooms of our judicial system. In doing so, Mass demonstrates that winning fantasy advice can come from anyone and be found almost anywhere - the wit and wisdom of William Shakespeare, the scientific genius of Stephen Hawking, or the futuristic whimsy of a galaxy far, far away. Ultimately, How Fantasy Sports Explains the World is not a book about how to win your fantasy sports league. Instead, it is a collection of conversation starters and hypothetical scenarios that get right to the core of what makes fantasy games so compelling in the high-speed information age: how to process and make use of the bottomless pile of data presented to us on a daily basis. ungekürzt.

How to Save a Declining Business, Top Business Recovery Strategies to Turn a Company Profitable, and the Importance of Operating a Business Cost-Effectively , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 19min
This book explains how to save a declining business and elucidates top business recovery strategies to turn a company profitable. Moreover, the importance of operating a business cost-effectively is also discussed. In spite of the seemingly insurmountable challenge of turning around an unprofitable business, salvaging a declining business on the cusp of filing for bankruptcy is far more viable than presumed possible. Business recovery strategies can be implemented as a last resort to render an unprofitable business eminently profitable or at the very least solvent. Business owners should learn how to operate their businesses efficaciously so that they do not have to resort to exhausting contingency plans. The first business recovery strategy involves undergoing extreme measures to cut costs in as many areas as viably possible. Executing this strategy goes beyond simply trimming off the fat, metaphorically speaking. Instituting this strategy can entail drastically reducing overhead costs and labor costs. Some major changes that can be undergone encompass leveraging “contract, temporary, or outsourced employees to replace higher-cost personnel” and doing everything in your purview to minimize labor costs. Moreover, faltering companies can also reduce their marketing costs, close office locations, and can even search for more affordable suppliers to buy products from which can help them significantly reduce their costs of goods sold. Variable expenses that can be cut back and that least contribute to increasing the bottom line should be either severely reduced or completely eliminated, if feasibly possible. Declining companies can also capitalize on more profusely leveraging social media platforms for content marketing purposes and can even launch affordable "pay-per-click" campaigns on low-cost advertising platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to not only refocus their marketing efforts, but to also attain more targeted reach. ungekürzt.

The Spirit of the Laws , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1416min
From the moment of its publication in 1748, The Spirit of the Laws proved to be a controversial work provoking widespread interest. Within three years it had been translated into various European languages - and was swiftly added to the List of Prohibited Books by the Roman Catholic Church. It is a remarkable book, a potpourri of observations and comments ranging far and wide over the social activities of mankind, and it exerted a great influence on political leaders in the following decades. For over 20 years, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755), a French landowner and polymath of the Age of Enlightenment, compiled his work, casting an interested and unfettered eye over classical Greece and Rome, over his own times, and over the historical bases of customs across the world, from Europe to the Middle East as far as China and the Far East. His purpose was to look at the governments of countries and to consider how and why they were governed, and the different results that ensued within different systems. He questioned how these democratic, despotic or monarchical structures and institutions affected the lives of the people, comparing the laws that protect and the laws that constrain. He evaluated the morals and traditions that prevailed and the individual freedoms that differing societies allowed while analysing how power in government was divided between the legislative, the executive and the judiciary. Having read widely and voraciously, he brought under his purview a mass of social, historical, theoretical and anthropological detail which, even today, is entertaining, fascinating and absorbing. He considered not just the way tradition, religion and laws fashioned society but even the effects of climate and geography. De Montesquieu's topics included Alexander the Great, the condition of women, corruption, slavery, civil law in France, English politics, Feudal laws among the Franks, taxes, the Lombards, the Huns, Charlemagn ungekürzt.
