When it comes to creating ideas, we hold ourselves back. That’s because inside each of us is an internal editor whose job is to forever polish our thoughts, so we sound smart and in control, and so that we fit into society. But what happens when we encounter problems where such conventional thinking fails us? How to get unstuck? For Mark Levy, the answer is freewriting, a technique he’s used for years to solve all types of business problems, and generate ideas for books, articles and blog posts. Freewriting is deceptively simple: Start writing as fast as you can, for as long as you can, about a subject you care deeply about, while ignoring the standard rules of grammar and spelling. Your internal editor won’t be able to keep up with your output, and will be temporarily shunted into the background. You’ll now be able to think more honestly and resourcefully than before, and will generate breakthrough ideas and solutions that you couldn’t have created any other way. Levy shares six freewriting secrets designed to knock out your editor and let your genius run free. He also includes fifteen problem-solving and creativity-stimulating principles you can use if you need more firepower—seven of which are new to this edition—and stories of problems he and others have solved through freewriting. Also new to this edition: an extensive section on how to refine your freewriting into something you can share with the world. Although Levy originally taught freewriting as a private brainstorming technique, over the years he and his clients have found that, with some tweaking, it’s a great way to generate content for books, articles, and other thought leadership pieces.
Автор: Levy Steven Название: Facebook: The Inside Story of Mark Zuckerberg and the Social Network`s Fight for Survival ISBN: 0735213151 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780735213159 Издательство: Random House (USA) Рейтинг: Цена: 18390.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: He has had unprecedented access to Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg for three years. And now renowned tech writer Steven Levy delivers the definitive history of one of America's most powerful and controversial companies: Facebook. In his sophomore year of college, Mark Zuckerberg created a simple website to serve as a campus social network. The site caught on like wildfire, and soon students nationwide were on Facebook. Today, Facebook is nearly unrecognizable from Zuckerberg's first, modest iteration. It has grown into a tech giant, the largest social media platform and one of the most gargantuan companies in the world, with a valuation of more than $576 billion and almost 3 billion users, including those on its fully owned subsidiaries, Instagram and WhatsApp. There is no denying the power and omnipresence of Facebook in American daily life. And in light of recent controversies surrounding election-influencing "fake news" accounts, the handling of its users' personal data, and growing discontent with the actions of its founder and CEO, never has the company been more central to the national conversation. Based on hundreds of interviews inside and outside the company, Levy's sweeping narrative digs deep into the whole story of the company that has changed the world and reaped the consequences.

Автор: Levy Andrew Название: Huck Finn`s America: Mark Twain and the Era That Shaped His Masterpiece ISBN: 1439186979 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781439186978 Издательство: Simon & Schuster Цена: 13030.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A provocative, exuberant, and deeply researched investigation into Mark Twain's writing of America's favorite icon of childhood, Huckleberry Finn: "A boldly revisionist reading of Twain's Huckleberry Finn...Twain's masterpiece emerges as a compelling depiction of nineteenth-century troubles still all too familiar in the twenty-first century" (Booklist, starred review). In the "groundbreaking" (Dallas Morning News) Huck Finn's America, award-winning biographer Andrew Levy shows how modern readers have misunderstood Huckleberry Finn for decades. Mark Twain's masterpiece is often discussed either as a carefree adventure story for children or a serious novel about race relations, yet Levy argues, it is neither. Instead, Huck Finn was written at a time when Americans were nervous about "uncivilized" bad boys, and a debate was raging about education, popular culture, and responsible parenting--casting Huck's now-celebrated "freedom" in a very different and very modern light. On issues of race, on the other hand, Twain's lifelong fascination with minstrel shows and black culture inspired him to write a book not about civil rights, but about race's role in entertainment and commerce, the same features on which much of our own modern consumer culture is also grounded. In Levy's vision, Huck Finn has more to say about contemporary children and race that we have ever imagined--if we are willing to hear it. An eye-opening, groundbreaking exploration of the character and psyche of Mark Twain as he was writing his most famous novel, Levy's book "explores the soul of Mark Twain's enduring achievement with the utmost self-awareness...An eloquent argument, wrapped up in rich biographical detail and historical fact." (USA TODAY). Huck Finn's America brings the past to vivid, surprising life, and offers a persuasive argument for why this American classic deserves to be understood anew.
