Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son

George Horace Lorimer

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son," George Horace Lorimer presents an epistolary narrative that deftly combines humor, wisdom, and practical advice. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book chronicles imaginary correspondence between a wealthy merchant, Mr. Grover, and his son, who navigates the complexities of life and business. Lorimer's writing is characterized by its conversational tone, rich in satirical observation, which critiques societal norms while offering timeless insights into character and ambition. This work resonates deeply within the American literary context, reflecting the burgeoning capitalism and middle-class values of its time. George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937) was an influential editor and a keen observer of American life. His background in journalism and his experiences in the business world informed his understanding of both personal and professional dynamics. Lorimer's own ascent from humble beginnings to a position of influence as the editor of The Saturday Evening Post significantly influenced his portrayal of self-made success, making this book a semi-autobiographical endeavor that underscores his belief in meritocracy. I highly recommend "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son" to readers seeking a blend of insight and entertainment. Its timeless advice, presented in a relatable format, makes it not only a valuable resource for aspiring entrepreneurs but also a delightful exploration of father-son relationships, making it a significant addition to both personal and academic libraries.

How to Become a Better Speaker...

Dr. Jim Anderson

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is the one who is credited with saying "The Only Thing That Is Constant Is Change". In the world of giving speeches this is especially true.

One does not just suddenly become a great speaker. Rather, what happens is that we start to give speeches and gradually over time we get better at doing it. However, we'll never get any better at speaking in public if we don’t know how to change.

What You'll Find Inside:

IT’S AMAZING WHAT A SPEAKER CAN LEARN BY WATCHING YOUTUBE

YOU HAVE MUCH TO LEARN GRASSHOPPER: WHAT THE GREAT COMMUNICATORS CAN TEACH US

PRESENTATION PRUNING: HOW MUCH TO CHOP?

A PRESENTER’S GREATEST THREAT: SELF-SABOTAGE!

Change is all about being aware of what a great speech really looks like. There are a number of different ways that we can learn what good speaking really is. The simplest way to do this by taking the time to listen to great speakers. The best way to do this is by getting invited to one of their speeches, sitting in the audience, and watching how they connect with their audience.

That's not always possible to do for a wide variety of reasons: they are too far away, your schedule is too busy, tickets cost too much, etc. That's when YouTube comes in to play. All of the really good speakers have had one or more of their speeches recorded and they are available for you to watch for free on YouTube.

Part of the change process is making your speech more effective. As you deliver a speech you'll discover what parts work and what parts don't work. When you are preparing to deliver the speech again, you'll have to prune it in order to make sure that you just deliver the good stuff.

What we are ultimately looking for is something called charisma. We all know that we want to have it in order to better connect with our audience; however, first we have to understand just exactly what it is and how we can get more of it.

This book will show you how to change your speech in order to transform it into something that is even more powerful than it is today. We're going to show you how to find out what you should be doing and how to incorporate the changes that will boost the impact of your speaking.

Conflict Theory

IntroBooks Team

‘Disagreements or arguments’ are the words which are best described for conflict. Its theories are perceptions in the society and psychological aspects of the society which underline the partisan, communal or substantial disparity of a communal group which evaluate the comprehensive socio-political system, or that otherwise diminish from organisational functionalism and conceptual obscurantism. In simple words – conflict of the classes. Although there are many theorists who contribute to the theories of conflict but Karl Marx has been considered to be the father of this theory. This eBook deliberates the different theories of conflict.

The Genius of Opposites - How...

Jennifer Kahnweiler PhD

Better TogetherFDR and Eleanor. Mick and Keith. Jobs and Woz. There are countless examples of introvert-extrovert partnerships who make brilliant products, create great works of art, and even change history together. But these partnerships don't just happen. They demand wise nurturing. The key, says bestselling author Jennifer Kahnweiler, is for opposites to stop emphasizing their differences and use approaches that focus them both on moving toward results. Kahnweiler's first-of-its-kind practical five-step process helps introverts and extroverts understand and appreciate each other's wiring, use conflicts to spur creativity, enrich their own skills by learning from the other, and see and act on things neither would have separately. Kahnweiler shows how to perform the delicate balancing act required to create a whole that is exponentially greater than the sum of its parts.
