About the original book:
Loonshots is an intriguing blend of world history, science, technology, and business. Safi Bahcall takes his readers on a roller-coaster ride that reveals the power of nurturing crazy ideas and embracing audacious projects. Though we often feel comfortable maintaining the status quo, especially in a group setting, sometimes we must provide opportunities for daring ideas to flow. The truth is that the world as we know it today would not be what it is without loonshots. Bahcall shows us how we can create the right environment for nurturing and launching the kind of loonshots that save lives and change the world.

Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule. David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. He discovered that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel.

The world’s most trusted guide for leaders in transition. Transitions are a critical time for leaders. In fact, most agree that moving into a new role is the biggest challenge a manager will face. While transitions offer a chance to start fresh and make needed changes in an organization, they also place leaders in a position of acute vulnerability. Missteps made during the crucial first three months in a new role can jeopardize or even derail your success.

More than just financial rewards are at stake. Friendships and relationships can suffer. Bad decisions at the inception of a promising venture lay the foundations for its eventual ruin.

Paradigmatic shifts in the business landscape, known as inflection points, can either create new, entrepreneurial opportunities or they can lead to devastating consequences. Rita McGrath contends that inflection points, though they may seem sudden, are not random. Every seemingly overnight shift is the final stage of a process that has been subtly building for some time. Armed with the right strategies and tools, smart businesses can see these inflection points coming and use them to gain a competitive advantage.

I thought it was worth a couple bucks. Got a few ideas from it. The narrator didn't use much inflection, but was consistent in his delivery.
