Every April, high earners across America write a cheque to the IRS that represents the single largest expense of their year. Not because they did anything wrong. Because nobody ever taught them the rules the wealthy actually play by. The ultra-wealthy are not cheating. They are using provisions written directly into the U.S. tax code that most professionals have never heard of, deployed through structures most CPAs never discuss, executed by advisors whose job is to look forward, not just ...

This is a collection of the best leadership speeches, gave by the most outstanding leaders of our generation.

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.Stoicism may be an ancient philosophy, but it is one that has even more relevance to our daily lives now that we are in the modern world.Too often we find that we aren’t able to control our lives, control the events that go on, or even control the people and how they act. But with stoicism, we learn that we can control some things, such as our emotions and our reactions, and this can help to lead us to happiness...

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) had a relatively brief, but remarkable life, lived in his beloved rural home of Glenlair, and variously in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, London and Cambridge. His scholarship also ranged wide - covering all the major aspects of Victorian natural philosophy. He was one of the most important mathematical physicists of all time, coming only after Newton and Einstein. In scientific terms his immortality is enshrined in electromagnetism and Maxwell's equations, but as thi...
