Ultralearning By Scott Young
Ultralearning by Scott Young Now a Wall Street Journal bestseller. Learn a new talent, stay relevant, reinvent yourself, and adapt to whatever the workplace throws your way. Ultralearning offers nine principles to master hard skills quickly. This is the essential guide to future-proof your career and maximize your competitive advantage through self-education.

Young incorporates the latest research about the most effective learning methods and the stories of other ultralearners like himself-among them Benjamin Franklin, chess grandmaster Judit Polg & aacute;r, and Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman, as well as a host of others, such as little-known modern polymath Nigel Richards, who won the French World Scrabble Championship-without knowing French. Young documents the methods he and others have used to acquire knowledge and shows that, far from being an obscure skill limited to aggressive autodidacts, ultralearning is a powerful tool anyone can use to improve their career, studies, and life. Ultralearning explores this fascinating subculture, shares a proven framework for a successful ultralearning project, and offers insights into how you can organize and exe - cute a plan to learn anything deeply and quickly, without teachers or budget-busting tuition costs. Whether the goal is to be fluent in a language (or ten languages), earn the equivalent of a college degree in a fraction of the time, or master multiple tools to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success.

Retirement Reality Check: How To Spend Your Money And Still Leave An Amazing Legacy
How many of us follow the same advice our grandparents followed: contribute whatever we can to our 401(k) and hope it & rsquo;s enough when the time comes to retire?
Millions of Americans did just that and in 2008, after years of saving the conventional way, the market crashed and took their entire nest egg, seemingly overnight. Josh Jalinski, host of the popular Financial Quarterback & trade; radio program, offers his proven system for a SWAN (sleep-well-at-night) retirement that works for people in all stages of their careers.
Retirement Reality Check challenges fifty years of conventional retirement planning with fresh strategies tailored to today & rsquo;s volatile economic climate:
The old warhorse 401(k) is great but nowhere near enough for most retirees and definitely not reliable.
It & rsquo;s okay to spend some of your IRA money before you are 70 & frac12;.
You can spend a lot more than 4 percent a year of your savings when you retire.
Don & rsquo;t shun annuities and whole life insurance policies; use the right ones and use them cleverly.
Retirement should be a time to enjoy family, friends, and travel, without worrying about your financial security. Josh Jalinski shows you how to maximize your retirement spending, while still having something to leave behind to your loved ones and favorite causes.
It & rsquo;s time create a new paradigm, one that will stand up against market volatility and be there when it & rsquo;s time to enjoy the years you worked so hard for. Do you have enough saved to enjoy your retirement? Will you be able to fund your bucket list? Are you prepared to for the tax increases and medical bills that come with retirement?
In this practical new guide, Jalinski guides you through his proven system for planning for a secure retirement that lets you enjoy your money, including:
Tax-saving strategies to maximize the amount of money you have available to spend on experiences, travel, and expenses
Understanding the right investment mix, depending on your individual circumstances
How saving cash and different life insurance options help you weather volatility and ensure you can pass wealth on to family members

Beyond Harvard: All-new Street Smarts From The World Of Mark H. Mccormack
The publication of What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School in 1984 introduced the world to the Mark H. McCormack street smart, nuggets of wisdom offering accessible insights into how to get ahead in the real world of business.
McCormack died in 2003, but his legacy and business philosophy live on. Beyond Harvard celebrates his genius with a collection of new street smarts based on interviews with the people who knew, worked with and were influenced by him - colleagues, clients and competitors alike.
From advice on managing people and building relationships, through to the best negotiating tips and how to grow a business, a stellar line-up of contributors from the business, media and sporting worlds show us how a brush with McCormack could change forever the way you do business - and live your life.
Learn from the outside-the-box thinking that encouraged a nervous Wimbledon committee to sign up to IMG-style merchandising; why it pays to hold your nerve when you reach a negotiating impasse; how the rituals and routines of the sporting world can work in business too, and even how re-using incoming paperclips or keeping 3x5 notecards to hand can contribute to success.
Beyond Harvard is both an affectionate testament to the man who invented the sports marketing industry and a worthy successor to the original Harvard book, offering a new generation of street smarts to anyone looking to improve their business understanding and practice.
