Along the way, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds—from the infamous “kidney theft ring” hoax to a coach’s lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at Sony—draw their power from the same six traits.

In this stunning audiobook, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous, and the most successful. He asks the question: What makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: That is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

In his landmark best seller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant, in the blink of an eye, that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept?

Resumen del Editor
The study of rhetoric not only leads to a greater understanding of how personages such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Winston Churchill elevated the power of speech to majestic heights, but also to a stronger proficiency in using rhetoric in anyone's day-to-day life.
Professor Drout examines the types of rhetoric and their effects, the structure of effective arguments, and how subtleties of language can be employed to engage in more successful rhetoric. Drout also ponders the role of rhetoric in our world and the age-old question of whether it is just a tool for convincing people of things that aren't true, or whether it is indeed a force for good that will ultimately lead to truth.

Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

In How to Release Anxiety, Gabby Bernstein offers simple, actionable steps for feeling better, living with more ease, and showing up for those around us. Gabby’s unusual advice: Rather than manage your anxiety, what if you befriended it? Gabby posits that what we befriend, we can ultimately be at ease with. So she invites us to get curious.

The works of J.R.R. Tolkien are quite possibly the most widely read pieces of literature written in the 20th century. But as Professor Michael Drout illuminates in this engaging course of lectures, Tolkien's writings are built upon a centuries-old literary tradition that developed in Europe and is quite uniquely Western in its outlook and style. Drout explores how that tradition still resonates with us to this day, even if many Modernist critics would argue otherwise. He begins the course with the allegory of a tower....

One of the Modern Scholar’s most popular professors, Timothy B.

The earliest surviving works of Greek literature, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey exert a continuing influence on modern culture, even today shaping people’s values and conduct. In the tales of Achilles and Hector, of Odysseus and Penelope, Homer explored the notion of arête, which translates as "excellence" or "virtue".

A Brilliant Professor!
I listened to this audio [mini] course as a supplement to a speech course I'm in. It has been a great additional element in my learning. I also earn income from writing and have found it useful there as well. Thank you prof. M.D.C. Drout for your easy-to-listen-to style and for the work you've put into this. I will be looking for more of your work.

Great written and spoken book
What did you love best about The Modern Scholar?
The combination of great content and astonishing narration. I recommended this book as audio-only to several friends of mine.
What does Professor Michael D. C. Drout bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The proof that rhetorics is not just about words, but also about how they are said. This book is brilliantly well narrated by the author.
What did you learn from The Modern Scholar that you would use in your daily life?
Too many things to describe here.
Any additional comments?
This is the first book I feel it was advantageous to hear instead of reading it.

This was fantastic!
What a great course! Dr. Drout is an amazing instructor who is very passionate about what he does. As soon as I finished this course, I started it over and listened to it again to help lock more of the information into my long-term memory. There is a LOT of information, but he manages to teach it in such a way as to not make it overwhelming. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the series, and this is definitely going onto my list of books that I read once a year!

Decent.
This is good. Not to bad. The guys voice is enthusiastic and young, makes it easy to listen to. Wish if had more How-To about it, mainly lectures and theory review.

Enjoyable
What made the experience of listening to The Modern Scholar the most enjoyable?
I did enjoy this audiobook and have found myself referencing it and the thing I learned much later. I would recommend this for writers, journalists and basically everyone.
