Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,476
From his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in Mork & Mindy and his Academy Award-winning performance in Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams was a singularly innovative and beloved entertainer. He often came across as a man possessed, holding forth on culture and politics while mixing in personal revelations - all with mercurial, tongue-twisting intensity as he inhabited and shed one character after another with lightning speed. But as Dave Itzkoff shows in this revelatory biography, Williams’ comic brilliance masked a deep well of conflicting emotions and self-doubt.

Why don't more people care about it? In this refreshing look at business fundamentals, Vincent Pugliese argues that before you set about gaining the knowledge and experience needed to create something people want to buy, you must become the person that people want to know.

How to Be Like is a "character biography" series: biographies that also draw out important lessons from the life of their subjects. In this new book - by far the most exhaustive in the series - Pat Williams tackles one of the most influential people in recent history. While many recent biographies of Walt Disney have reveled in the negative, this audiobook takes an honest but positive look at the man behind the myth. For the first time, the book pulls together all the various strands of Disney's life into one straightforward, easy-to-listen-to tale.

His music has gone beyond the sales charts into our cultural consciousness. He was the first songwriter awarded the Gershwin Prize by the Library of Congress and is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

The platform enables millions of women, across 196 countries, to connect, share information, and access knowledge. So how did a young woman - who arrived in the United States without speaking a word of English - turn a dream of connecting women into a fulfilling career and highly profitable company that has changed so many lives?

Publisher's summary
From the heart of Africa, a spellbinding true story of entrepreneurship, media, culture, and tradition all tastefully rolled into one! Absolute Radio is an authentic story of girls and boys who became women and men—and heroes—on the wings of a radio station. Running the course of 25 years, the story comes from the culturally stylish twin city of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana with global footprints.
It is the most tantalizing and groundbreaking body of work about Ghana’s private broadcasting industry. The author, former journalist Phillip Nyakpo, is himself an eyewitness and a participant in these true events.
From his base in Perth, Australia, Phillip interviewed women and men across four continents who made it happen over a quarter of a century.
The result is that he opened up to the world a character and spirit of Africa that is all too often missing.
In telling the story, he writes a compelling narrative that is delicate, witty, eye-opening, and wonderfully inspiring.

In his new audiobook, The Heart-Led Leader, Spaulding turns his focus to ourselves - to who we are. Authentic leaders, Spaulding says, live and lead from the heart. The values and principles that guide our lives and shape our ability to lead others is far more important than our titles or our ability to crunch numbers or the impressive degrees we display on our walls. To effect true transformational change, heart-led leaders draw on the qualities of humility, vulnerability, transparency, empathy, and love.
