Osman Fatih Güner
Acerca de esta escucha
Born and raised in Turkey, Osman moved to the United States in 1982, earned a PhD in physical organic chemistry, and built a successful life, with a stellar scientific career, cerebral hobbies, and two wonderful children. However, a sudden layoff at age 50 and a dysfunctional marriage caused him to question both his professional trajectory and his personal lifestyle. The resulting gradual awakening caused him to change his attitude and approach to life as he navigated the next stages of his life after 50.
Osman’s narrative details the evolution of computational drug discovery (his professional field) along with his personal life story. Both are told with exceptional honesty and insight, including his internal struggles and thought processes at professional and personal crossroads.
His adventures included navigating multiple corporate cultures; starting his own consulting business (on two continents); being a competitive bridge player, teacher, and director; teaching chemistry at a community college; and circumnavigating the globe on a cruise ship while teaching bridge. He checked off many of the items on his personal bucket list and became a more peaceful and self-aware person who recognizes what truly is important in life.
This example of a life fully lived will be inspirational for any mid-career professional starting to think about retirement, especially scientific professionals navigating complex career choices.
Exploring Osman’s story, and why he made the choices that he did, may well provide insights into your own choices and help you craft a life that is both relevant and personally satisfying.

Does working from home—or anywhere else but the office—make sense? In Remote, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the founders of Basecamp, bring new insight to the hotly debated argument. While providing a complete overview of remote work’s challenges, Jason and David persuasively argue that, often, the advantages of working “off-site” far outweigh the drawbacks.

There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals.

In 1998, three Harvard Business School graduates - two men and one woman - turned down six-figure salaries at big corporations, bet on themselves, and launched their own new companies. By their 10-year reunion, their audacity had paid huge dividends. They'd made many millions of dollars, created hundreds of jobs and left their mark on the world. The Intelligent Entrepreneur tells the compelling and instructive story of how these three young founders did it.

Getting into a top-ranked college has never seemed more impossible, with acceptance rates at some elite universities dipping into the single digits. In Who Gets in and Why, journalist and higher education expert Jeffrey Selingo dispels entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the admissions game and reveals that teenagers and parents have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a "good college". Hint: It's not all about the sticker on the car window.

Deep in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, three times farther from the sun than the Earth is, orbits a massive asteroid called (16) Psyche. It is one of the largest objects in the belt, potentially containing the equivalent of the world’s total economy in metals, though they cannot be brought back to Earth. But (16) Psyche has the potential to unlock something even more valuable: the story of how planets form, and how our planet formed.

The early years of venture capital were a far cry from today’s very public dealings. Alan Patricof, one of the pioneers of the venture arena, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the past 50 years of the industry. From buying stock in Apple when its market valuation was only $60 million to founding New York Magazine to investing in AOL, Audible, and more recently, Axios, his discerning approach to finding companies is almost peerless.

In this epic saga of money and science, veteran financial journalist Nathan Vardi explains how the invention of two of the biggest cancer drugs in history became (for their backers) two of the greatest Wall Street bets of all time.

From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of 20, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius - his exacting insistence on perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries.
