Hell Motel: 8 Months at an Economy Hotel

HELL MOTEL exposes the seedy underbelly of the economy line hotel industry and weaves both humorous and horrific true-life tales of the people that sleep, work and claw to survive at roach motels. Mike is a privileged, immature and spoiled asshole who relocates to the big city in an attempt to outrun his personal demons. After accepting a management position at a cheap dive motel, Mike is overwhelmed by the prostitutes, drug addicts and desperados that infest the property... HELL MOTEL is more than just a collection of stories, it's a redemptive tale about becoming a champion for employees and finding faith in humanity, even when you are surrounded by the absolute worst of humanity. Prepare to never look at hotels the same way, ever again.

Measure What Matters: OKRs: The Simple Idea that Drives 10x Growth

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Measure What Matters written and read by John Doerr. Measure What Matters is a revolutionary approach to business that has been adopted by some of Silicon Valley's most successful startups. It is a movement that is behind the explosive growth of Intel, Google, Amazon and Uber and many more. Measure What Matters is about using Objectives and Key Results (or OKRs) to make tough choices on business priorities. It's about communicating these objectives throughout the company from entry level to CEO and it's about collecting timely, relevant data to track progress - to measure what matters. When Google first started out, its founders had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy and sky-high ambition but no business plan. John Doerr taught them a proven approach to operating excellence that has helped them achieve greatness. He has since shared OKRs with more than fifty companies with outstanding success. In this book, Larry Page, Bill Gates, Bono, Sheryl Sandberg and many more explain how OKRs have helped them exceed all expectations and run their organisations with focus and agility.

Our Lost Constitution

In Our Lost Constitution, Senator Mike Lee tells the dramatic, little-known stories behind six of the Constitution's most indispensable provisions. He shows their rise. He shows their fall. And he makes vividly clear how nearly every abuse of federal power today is rooted in neglect of this Lost Constitution. For example: - The origination clause says that all bills to raise taxes must originate in the House of Representatives, but contempt for the clause ensured the passage of Obamacare. - The Fourth Amendment protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures, but the NSA now collects our private data without a warrant. - The legislative powers clause means that only Congress can pass laws, but unelected agencies now produce ninety-nine out of every one hundred pages of legal rules imposed on the American people. Lee's cast of characters includes a former Ku Klux Klansman who hijacked the establishment clause to strangle Catholic schools; a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who called the Second Amendment a fraud; and the revered president who began his first term by threatening to shatter the balance of power between Congress and the president, and his second term by vowing to do the same to the Supreme Court. Fortunately, the Constitution has always had its defenders. Senator Lee tells the story of how Andrew Jackson, noted for his courage in duels and politics, stood firm against the unconstitutional expansion of federal powers. He brings to life Ben Franklin's genius for compromise at a deeply divided constitutional convention. And he tells how in 2008, a couple of unlikely challengers persuaded the Supreme Court to rediscover the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms. Sections of the Constitution might have been forgotten, but it's not too late to bring them back-if only we remember why we once demanded them and how we later lost them. Drawing on his experience working in all three branches of government, Senator Lee makes a bold case for resurrecting the Lost Constitution to restore and defend our fundamental liberties.
