Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon’s Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason’s many revelations, you’ll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You’ll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon’s painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield. You’ll learn that an irate blacksmith threw his hammer at a fox and missed, hitting a rock and revealing the largest vein of silver ever discovered, thus changing the finances of Canada forever. Interestingly, Charlton Heston was cast as Moses in The Ten Commandments because his broken nose made him look like Michelangelo’s famous sculpture of Moses. Finally, no one knows Einstein’s last words. They were in German, a language his nurse did not speak. A treasure trove filled with fascinating anecdotes about the tiny ripples that created big waves in history, Napoleon’s Hemorrhoids is much more than just a trivial fact book; it is an astonishing historical-fate book revealing how our most famous incidents, best-loved works of art, and most accepted historical outcomes are simply twists of fate. |

Summary of Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss and Tahl Raz    Preview : Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss and Tahl Raz is a guide to using hostage negotiation techniques in business and personal negotiations. Modern negotiation strategies taught in business school usually center on classic texts that describe negotiation without factoring in emotions or irrational behavior. In reality, all negotiations involve emotional factors and illogical reactions. And in hostage scenarios, “splitting the difference” by accepting the release of half the hostages in exchange of partial fulfillment of demands is never a desired outcome. Hostage takers who feel heard are more likely to trust negotiators to be honest about what they want. Active listening involves mirroring the other person's speech, speaking in a way that sounds assertive but calming, and not saying anything at all for several seconds between utterances. This slows the conversation down and conveys the impression that the negotiator wishes to understand…   PLEASE NOTE: This is  key takeaways and analysis  of the book and NOT the original book.   Inside this Instaread Summary of Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss and Tahl Raz ·                      Overview of the Book ·                      Important People ·                      Key Takeaways ·                      Analysis of Key Takeaways   About the Author With Instaread, you can get the key takeaways, summary and analysis of a book in 15 minutes.

Getting the girl isn't just a Hollywood fantasy; attracting beautiful women isn't the sole domain of the super rich, the super hunk, or the outrageously gifted. Attracting and dating beautiful women isn't about magic and pickup lines, it's about your mindsets, some subtle human insights, and a little female psychology. This book outlines the FOUR FOUNDATIONS of successful dating: Attraction, Rapport, Leading, and Escalation. ATTRACTION  is about tension and her emotional response to you. RAPPORT  is about intimacy and her emotional connection with you. LEADING  is about challenging your fears and taking action while communicating sincerity through your actions. ESCALATION  is about consistently increasing the intensity of your relationship via attraction and rapport so that it goes where ever you want it to go. When you learn how to inspire ATTRACTION and RAPPORT in a woman through your actions of LEADING and ESCALATION, you'll create a compelling chemistry between you and her that most men will NEVER achieve. QUESTIONS THIS BOOK ANSWERS: What's the best way to avoid the "friend zone"? Why do some women resist guys they're REALLY into? And how can you tell the difference? How can you remove the fear of rejection when approaching a woman? What are 5 easy ways to make a woman feel at ease and comfortable with you? What are 6 powerful ways to prevent yourself from feeling jealous? What are 14 ways she is trying to tell you she's into you that most guys miss? When is the right time to kiss her? What are 5 things you should do or say when in bed with a woman?! Etc, etc, etc... I wrote this book because there was a long time of my life when I was very confused, frustrated and lonely. But soon after my divorce I spent 9 years dating, testing, experimenting, exploring, and learning about women and dating. Here's a painful truth:  today's typical guy will never CHOOSE the woman he REALLY wants. Why?  Questioning what you take for granted and trying new things outside of your comfort zones just might be the hardest thing you can do, but I believe this capacity to change is what truly makes a man GREAT! And if you're brave enough to buy a book like this, then you're already on a journey that most men will never take. On this journey, you will no doubt encounter some surprises, like:  Nice guys without personal boundaries DO finish last;  Putting her on a pedestal will NOT get you the girl;  Tension IS necessary for attraction;  Dating is not all about her expectations; your expectations should count MORE to you;  Seduction is a FUN game of tug-of-war;  Body language and tone of voice constitute 93% of communication; what you actually say accounts for the other 7%;  Your self-esteem and life passions are tantamount to getting the girl;  A woman may reject or resist you BUT can still WANT you - you just have to know when to keep pursuing and when to move on.  If you want a new life with new women, then you must think and try new things. This book is all about you rewriting your beliefs and attitudes and adopting new behaviors. If you want to succeed with women, and learn some new life lessons along the way, read on! |
