Young and Profiting with Hala Taha

You have a book called The Song of Significance.

And what I am arguing in the book is that that kind of work is going away.

One of the things I talk about in the book is the principle of criticizing the work relentlessly, but never criticizing the worker.

Other than read your book, of course.

And one way is you can leave a copy of this book on the desk.

The book is called This Is Strategy. It's out. October22nd, as we speak. I highly recommend it.

Seth's latest book, This Is Strategy, to help entrepreneurs and leaders make smarter, more strategic decisions.

last year is called That's Bold of You

the reason I wrote the book was I'm all in on vulnerability not like sappy vulnerability not like feelings time vulnerability but just being radically honest about how you feel so we don't have to beat around the bush we don't have to guess we don't have to play mental gymnastics none of that whether it's in dating or business or friends or just with yourself we say how we feel and we act upon how we feel and we're clear and we're healthy about it

I read this study that really kicked off the book called the beautiful mess effect

I wrote the book from that perspective that it's a bold thing to push back against our programming our conditioning our judgment

I read your book called Wise Guy and you had a lot of lessons in there that I really liked and one of them was just getting the door right and you rose up the ranks in Apple.

This book Enchantment is about how to increase all three of those things as far as likeability...

Something really fun that I found in your book was a test that you call the opossum test.

So with my book Slingshot, how did I reimagine a business book or a leadership book?

It's all illustrated by children.

Secondly, it has original music so that every single chapter has its own, I think really wonderful music done by a very talented European electro band.

I purposely made the book only privately available, not obsessed with book sales or being on the top list, but rather to use my book as an exclusive resource for the audiences that I work with.

Blue ocean strategy is a concept that became popular about almost 20 years ago now. First through a series of articles in the Harvard Business Review and then a book by the same name, Blue Ocean Strategy.

It has been translated into over four million copies in terms of books and over 50 languages, including Mongolian and Icelandic. So it really has conquered the world.

He originally came on the show in May of 2022, episode 169. Now, even though this episode was a couple years ago, I still remember it to this day because I felt very inspired, very energized after the conversation with Gabor. He's a global authority on reimagining boundaries and one of the creators behind the Blue Ocean Strategy.

He's literally written a textbook on AI.

I know that you wrote a book about AI with Stuart Russell in 1995. You wrote a textbook, the first edition of Artificial Intelligence.

We did the first edition in 95 and we're up to the fourth edition, which we did a year or two ago.

It's called Do It for a Day, How To Make or Break Any Habit In 30 Days.

You are also a New York Times bestselling author of 22 books including Do It for a Day and When the Day.

One of your really, really popular books called Win the Day.

Jeff Hayden, he wrote The Motivation Myth.

One of my favorite books by my men, one of my mentors, Dr. Stephen Covey, he wrote Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

She was voted Fortune's number one most powerful woman in America three years in a row. And she's also the author of a new book called Good Power, which is jam-packed with amazing, amazing leadership advice.

It came out in 2023. It's called Good Power.

I did not intend to write a book that was personal when I started. And the reason I ended up calling it that is I really wanted to share some views about how you do hard stuff, but in a good way.

In the book I end the book with a handwritten note because I do believe how you do your work maybe just as important as what you do.

I highly recommend that everybody go get Good Power. I loved reading this book.

Build the Life You Want which he coauthored with Oprah Winfrey.

She read that in the first couple of days it was published and she called and she said, I have a I mean, she didn't. Her podcast team called anyway. It's not what she called them. So this is Oprah Winfrey. And I'm like, yeah, I'm Batman. It's not like that. So she called and asked me to come on her podcast, Super Soul, which talks about books.

We talked about the book. And then I went on a web show that she's got through Oprah Daily. And we were like a house on fire.

I didn't realize that Oprah is part of the audiobook. Yeah, we both read our parts of the book for sure.

Who's the book written for? Anybody who actually is willing to build a life that they want. A lot of people, they say they want to get happier, but they don't act that way.

He's also the author of the new book, The New Model of Selling.

I have a new book called The New Model of Selling, selling to an unsellable generation.

She's also the author of How Are You Really?

It's called, How Are You Really Living Your Truth One Answer At A Time?

you poured your heart into it. You didn't do it so you could get more speaking events or make money; you just wanted to give back.

I am still on fire for my book. I love it. I can feel the energy and how much you just really enjoyed this.

The premise of my book is not to hear my voice as you read it, but to like come back home to yourself. It encourages a life inventory and listening to your inner intuition.

He's also the author of WTF willing to fail and BYOB build your own business.

I talked to him about his latest book BYOB in episode number 168, you guys can check that one out after this interview.

I read a book called the emith revisited by Michael Gerber

Big Bets is really about how large scale change really happens. And I tried to go through a number of different case studies and identify really specific leadership lessons that apply to entrepreneurs.

I want to talk about your new book, Big Bet.

Big Bet's are efforts to actually solve ... I wrote about Mayor Mitch Landrieu and his Big Bet to remove Confederate statues ... It's really the boldness of the aspiration and the determination to succeed that differentiates a Big Bet from a typical effort.

that you talked about in Big Bets.
