If you cut off a spider's leg, it's crippled; if you cut off its head, it dies. But if you cut off a starfish's leg it grows a new one, and the old leg can grow into an entirely new starfish. The Starfish and the Spider argues that organizations fall into two categories: "spiders", which have a rigid hierarchy, and "starfish", which rely on the power of peer relationships.

Toughness has long been held as a fundamental key to achieving peak performance. For generations, we've been taught toughness means bulldozing through—pushing to the point of breakdown—and that showing any sign of weakness is failure. This model of toughness has long been glorified and celebrated. But the truth is, it doesn't work. Steve Magness, a performance scientist who coaches Olympic athletes, now offers a new kind of toughness—real toughness—that can help anyone navigate adversity. Real toughness works with our biology and psychology; fake toughness fights against them.

The book entitled Talk to Anyone is a value providing resource that is tailored towards understanding other people’s emotions, feelings, and thoughts. Our ability to empathize with other people is made possible because we could share in their pain, hurt, joy, happiness, and so on. It takes a whole lot of courage and confidence to interact and converse with others, especially when we have no idea of who they are and what they can do.

In our ever-changing world, the need to interact has never been more important until now. As nations vie for economic and social importance in the comity of nations, friction occurs and with that comes the threat of war. And when every form of interaction dissolves, all forms of lies that negates either party abounds, anarchy reigns. The Cold War of the late 19th century and early 20th century is a testament to this fact. We need to talk, to interact more. It is from this interaction that many of the solutions to the world’s problems lies.

Publisher's Summary
Want better results? Talk less and listen more.
Listening might seem like the easiest thing in the world to do. But most people retain only a fraction of what they hear, resulting in miscommunications and lost opportunities.
When you actively listen, you learn to gather perspectives, bridge differences, and resolve problems. Absorbing what a person is saying, thinking, and feeling sets the stage for dramatically improved relationships and increased professional success.
Listen Up or Lose Out pulls this underused tool out from the shadows and highlights its role in effective communications. Step by step, the book breaks down listening into a set of learnable skills, explaining how to:
- Avoid the urge to criticize, question, or advise
- Focus on the speaker’s point of view
- Ask the right questions, in the right order
- Restate the speaker’s key points and keep the conversation moving
- Read people’s feelings and reflect them back
- Find solutions together
Skilled listeners experience fewer conflicts, make better decisions, and discover opportunities that others might miss. No amount of talking beats great listening!

Questioning thousands of parents and educators, Dr. Wayne Dyer learned firsthand what people really want for their children. They don't particularly want their kids to go to fancy schools, acquire riches, or live "the good life". They do want them to have personal integrity and high self-esteem, and to grow up with love and peace in their hearts. Children raised the Wayne Dyer way feel useful and needed. They are inner- rather than outer-directed. They live a stress-free life naturally, without resorting to drugs.

Communication is a very important aspect of life. We use it for a large portion of our daily activities and without it nobody gets very far in life. It's like the moment you visit a foreign country. When you don't know the language and everything seems alien and unknown, you begin to appreciate your native language. Communication requires our daily practice & development as it falls into our careers, our relationships, our financial lives, and our very happiness.
