029 A Career Carol by Dr. Helmut Schuster and Dr. David Oxley

About this Episode
' Twas the night before Christmas…What a perfect night to share about A Career Carol by Dr. Helmut Schuster and Dr. David Oxley. The concept is loosely based on A Christmas Carol, with ghosts and everything.
Part 1: A Career Carol
In this fable, the protagonist, Shey, faces the night before graduation with skepticism about conventional success narratives. The story unfolds through four ghostly visitations, each representing a potential career trap.
Failure to Launch: Shey confronts a future where doubt and fear lead to a stagnant life, blaming external factors. The lesson: Take ownership of your future; proactive participation is crucial.
Beware of Gilded Cages: Trapped in a job he hates due to materialistic choices, Shey learns that cumulative decisions shape one's path. A conscious and purposeful life helps avoid the gilded cage.
The Fallacy of Blind Faith: Sir Anthony Bark, the ghost of blind faith, warns against relying on blind faith. Continuous learning, skill-building, and proactive planning are essential for career longevity.
The Nightmare of Lost Purpose: In the final vision, Shey is materially successful but lonely, emphasizing the importance of moral choices and not losing sight of personal values.
Merry Graduation:
Shey wakes up with renewed gratitude and a commitment to make the best of his life, recognizing the value of friends and family.
 
Part 2: Overcoming Career Crisis

The 80/80 Marriage: A New Model for a Happier, Stronger Relationship by Nate and Kaley Klemp

Welcome to the BookMattic Best Books Podcast! 📚 In this episode, we explore the transformative insights from "The 80-80 Marriage" by Nate and Kaley Klemp. 🌟

🌐 This model doesn't just transform the marriage itself but radiates its positive influence on the surrounding ecosystem. Your marriage doesn't operate in isolation; it shapes the dynamics with your children, extended family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers.
🚀 Join us as we delve into how the 80/80 Marriage model can revolutionize relationships, fostering a culture of mutual support and continuous improvement. Tune in for valuable insights into enhancing your marriage and its far-reaching impacts! 💑✨

Ep. 026 History of How Star Trek Changed the World - Phasers On Stun by Ryan Britt

Star Trek had an absolutely amazing impact on so many people's lives including my own. Ryan Britt writes a brilliant history of Star Trek all the way to 2022, its philosophy, how it affected society, and what the future of Star Trek pushing the boundaries may hold.
If you're new to Star Trek, you can still enjoy this episode as we try to cover the basics of the show and its movies.
If you're a fan you'll thoroughly enjoy the topics we discuss.
Ryan Britt is a great nonfiction author of popular sci-fi and will be coming out with a new book about the history of Dune called The Spice Must Flow later in 2023.

Ep. 025 Write Useful Nonfiction Books with Rob Fitzpatrick

When you write, write for your audience. Put your book out there before even publishing it. Rob Fitzpatrick and I had a wonderful deep dive conversation about his book called Write Useful Books as well as the Workshop Survival Guide. He explains his process of writing as a product. In order to write (build) a lasting product, it needs to go through several iterations. He is currently making over $25k per month just on a few of the books he has published and in this video, he explains his process so you can too.
That's why I loved chatting with Rob about his books and his processes as a writer. He makes the process seem doable because he has broken it down into easily processed chunks. I highly recommend watching this video and checking out his books.

Ep. 024 Julie Lythcott Haims Your Turn - How to be an Adult

Have you ever felt immature, much younger than your current age? We all have at one point in our lives. Luckily, Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote her book, Your Turn - How to Be An Adult for this very reason. Many adults feel that they don't have the necessary skills to survive in the adult world. Your Turn answers most of the questions you may or may not have thought about.
She gives us her heart by opening herself up through the book with practical lessons she has learned through research, her experience, and the experiences of a wide variety of people from virtually every background you can think of. I give great pleasure to have interviewed Julie about her book and have learned many more lessons from filming this interview.
Please help to support Julie and yourself by picking up a copy of her book.
Also, help to support the BookMattic channel by subscribing.
I hope you are all doing well and getting enough reading time in amongst all the other things you may have going on in your life.
Take care!

Ep. 023 Mark W Schaefer - Marketing Rebellion and Cumulative Advantage

Mark W Schaefer is a master at marketing and human connection. The two go hand-in-hand. Marketing is nothing without human connection and he drives this point hard in most of his books. The first book of his that I read and discussed with him is Cumulative Advantage and the second one was Marketing Rebellion.
Mark truly has a way of writing to a specific audience so it feels like he is writing directly to you. He is a believer in not writing fluff. He gets to the point which is sure to pack a punch. Each of his books solves a problem and provides stories and examples to help clarify them.
I highly recommend picking up his books:

Ep 022 Jo Wimble-Groves - Rise of the Girl - 7 Empowering Conversations to Have With Your Daughter

Jo Wimble-Groves, the author of Rise of the Girl, talks about many of the struggles and strengths that girls have and how parents can help guide their daughters to become stronger. I loved having these conversations with Jo as I have a daughter myself, so the topic is extremely valid for me and probably is for you too if you have daughters.

Ep. 019 Vicious Cycle by Jim Rees - A Race Across America

Half memoir and half self-help book, Jim Rees takes you on an adventure through his Race Across America (RAAM). Doing the race three times at over 3,000 miles of nonstop cycling as a solo rider ought to teach you something plus more about perseverance and strength. As Jim states in his book, RAAM is more about having a strong mindset than it is about being physically in shape, although both are still important. If you love physical endurance racing such as running, cycling, or swimming, then I think you will relate to Jim’s story.

Ep. 018 The Heroic and Exceptional Minority by Gregory V Diehl

The Heroic and Exceptional Minority by Gregory V. Diehl is on the BookMattic Top 10 Books of 2021 for a very good reason. Here is a description of how amazing this book is. Many people struggle throughout their lives, unable to identify the source of great inner existential discontent. No matter their material comfort or good fortune, they cannot escape the idea that they do not live the lives they ought to. They are not in environments that support their deepest personal growth and development. They are not the people they feel they are meant to be, and the world never works the way they know it could. The Heroic and Exceptional Minority is an audacious call to self-development for men, women, and teens plagued by mythological doubt, who feel stuck in a mediocre environment and an unheroic era. Its premise is timeless, clear, and simple: The only way to understand oneself, realize our potential, and change the world for the better is to embrace who and what we really are.

Ep. 017 Authorize It by Deborah Burns - Think Like a Writer to Win at Work and Life

Deborah Burns reached out to me about her book Authorize It: Think Like a Writer to Win at Work and Life which is helpful for everyday employees who would benefit greatly to progress in their career by using the frameworks within her book. The frameworks are kind of like mental models that come from shaping a story, but in this case, the story is your life and it can be shaped the way you want if you put yourself in the path of where you want to go. Thinking like a writer is such a useful tool to use in your life so I believe Authorize It is worthy of reading and applying in your life.

Ep. #015 Psychology of Marketing - Lions in the Grass by Bill Morrison

Bill Morrison's Lions in the Grass is a rollercoaster of the principles of the psychology of marketing. Our episode together includes stories about how manipulation can be used for bad and good. It includes stories about Gillette and Chrysler and even a story about a time when Bill bought seven huge carpets that he didn't need for his already carpeted apartment just because there was a crowd of people storming a sale on carpets. Lions in the Grass is truly an insightful book on the psychology of marketing.

Ep. #010 Productivity is for Robots by Corey McComb - How to Reconnect, Get Creative, & Stay Human

📚What book(s) did you not want to end? I didn't want Productivity is for Robots by Corey McComb to end! ⠀
Listen to BookMattic Best Books Podcast on Spotify Now https://open.spotify.com/show/3VKUNOcwEuxnpQcsT5hk7P
REASONS I LOVED PRODUCTIVITY IS FOR ROBOTS ⠀1️⃣This book is filled with stories of inspiration and burnout, creativity, and humanity. It's a book for everyone who is dying to be productive but don't want to lose their humanity.⠀⠀The book is all about connecting, creating, and finding flow. When you are able to do all three of these, you will be the most productive and most human you could ever be.⠀⠀2️⃣It's filled with research, many great stories from people such as Theodore Roosevelt and the crew of The Endurance. ⠀⠀3️⃣Corey put his heart into this book and it shows through the words he writes. It's written to help you change your perspective about what productivity is and how you don't have to work 100 hours a week to get what you want. The practical lessons are plenty. ⠀⠀MY FAVORITE STORY⠀You've got stories of James Cameron. Sometimes your childhood dream, your goal, the thing you want to come into reality has to wait until the time is right, just like James Cameron did for Avatar. The story idea is something he had in his mind since he was a little kid, but he could not bring it into reality until 2009 when the technology was good enough to put it on the big screen. ⠀⠀The point being that sometimes you have to wait, let the idea simmer in your mind, until the right time in order to make your goals a reality.⠀⠀I highly recommend reading Productivity is for Robots by Corey McComb now.⠀
