Getting the Job Done

 


The book is so good with a lot of things to learn, understand and practice. Getting the Job done has given various examples to handle the team members and how to work as a team with good understanding, collaboration, commitment, take feedbacks, treating each other in the team well and explaining the project to each other and helping each other and how to bring the balance and success to your firm with good teamwork.,

I liked the example of what happens in vegas stays with vegas for retrospective meetings where everyone is treated equally and remarks will not be shared with management as what happens in meetings stays in meetings.

Another example about Jimmy Carter and the translator's mistake that made a great noise and news around for how communication and the clarity and use of words are important. 

There are a lot of examples from different parts of the world, like Mao and his vision without detail and its effects and Martin Luther Jr. I really enjoyed and learned a lot through this book.

The book is short and crisp with needed contents and examples and is written in a very simple way and the narration was so good.

Death Served Cold


Death Served Cols is about murders that are committed by the woman and their motive. The book contains 7 stories that will really make you think about how people commit murders and killing their own kith and kin for such motives. All stories are real with changing the name of characters. The last story is from recent times so we may have heard it a lot in news. The other stories are something I have not heard before and made me think about how people can change when they have some desire to achieve what they want by any means.

The book is well researched and the narration was so good. Each case is explained with the back story, how the people committed the crime and how it was found out, and the judgment for the case.

 

The Greatest Game

 


The story starts from the creation of the first human begins to the era where we are trying to create AI with consciousness. The first part of the book contains stories of Adam and Eve in the name of Shivaji and Devi and their son - Dath, Vish, and Linga. How Dath and Ling had created an empire that was friendly after their demise but because of women the two kingdoms waged war on each other. They were a prophecy that a hero will be born to save them.  I loved the Philosophers Matsya, Rudra, and the kid Adi who was questioning them in the era of monarchy rule.

The story becomes true when Shivaji is reborn as Krish to a family in Vellore and becomes an engineer and joins Citta, a company that is developing AI where they are trying to bring consciousness by inducing fear but they are missing something.

Overall you will enjoy reading and moving into different eras and questions, answers and thinking make the book an interesting one. I loved the way the story was narrated and the writing style of the author.

The decoding of Painting was something I loved.

An Unexpected Kind of Love


The story is so good with a mixture of emotions, guilt, sadness, love, lust, and romance. The love story of bookseller Aubrey in London and an American actor Blake. They start loving each other so soon and that creates some doubt in Aubrey whether this will result in another heartbreak as Blake will soon return to the US. There are a lot of twists and turns. I really loved the way Blake expressing his love before strangers in the station singing a song for Aubrey. As an actor, he wants more opportunities to become a lead actor in the industry which he may lose when people come to know he is gay. Throughout the whole story, Blake is such a confident, cool guy but at some point, he wants to live up to societal expectations and he leaves Aubrey which is heartbreaking. I loved the character Lily who was such a good friend of Aubrey. The character Eli and Rayan was also different especially Eli who was the ex of Aubrey and currently in a relationship with Ryan and jealous of Aubrey and Blake.

I loved the narration and the lucid writing which made it a super read. At some point I was happy, at some I was sad and laughing at their jokes. I was traveling with the characters all along in Soho, Cumbria, Manhattan...

The relationship should not be measured on time. The connection we feel and the love, care, and understanding of each other are important which changes one's life.

Elevating Equity and Justice



 This audiobook is on different supreme court cases that are related to schools and teaching. I am really bad for the girl who was checked for any drugs in her underwear too who was really got affected by this lot as she was accused and found out she was genuine. There are many problems like funding for schools that are not equal which should be taken care of and series of issues in schools.

This gives insight into some problems and solutions and how to handle situations in the right. The syllabus and the way of teaching should be upgraded based on the needs and requirements. 

There was one case where people with disabilities should be graded based on their ability not compared to the person without abilities and how government schools and private schools differ in it and the case is explained well.

This is a sure read for parents and teachers and I really appreciate the author for his efforts in bringing the things that are necessary to be acknowledged and taken care of.

AfterMath

 


I got to hear the audiobook AfterMath which created a lot of emotion thinking of the struggle of people in the story. The way the survivors of the shooting speaks about it is like a weather forecast and Lucy, who lost her brother Theo and shifted to a new place where she faces more difficulties and she joined the class which was more affected by the shooting and having a lot of memories.

There are a lot of sad moments that make you feel a lot. I really felt bad for Lucy's family who was acting like they are good and happy, finally, they had the guts to speak about they miss Theo and accept the loss and speak it.

I really felt pity for Ivory as no one speaks to her as the shooter was her brother but Lucy made her friend and created a good impact on her. 

We all have problems and sorrow that cannot be compared as each pain is different. We should try to speak up with the close ones or seek medical help than getting depressed thinking of the past and living in it.

Mental health is equally important to physical health. Just speak out. In all countries, mental health was a taboo topic. Start speaking and share your problems that will reduce your pain a little by little and helps to move on in life.
