Authors@Google: Cal Newport | "So Good They Can't Ignore You"
"Follow Your Passion" is Bad Advice. Here is What You Should Do Instead... In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice. Not only is the cliche flawed -- preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work -- but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Matching your job to a preexisting passion does not matter, he reveals. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for ... From: AtGoogleTalks Views: 4125 101 ratings Time: 40:25 More in Nonprofits & Activism

Authors@Google: Andrew Blum | "Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet"
When your Internet cable leaves your living room, where does it go? Almost everything about our day-to-day lives%mdashand the broader scheme of human culture%mdashcan be found on the Internet. But what is it physically? And where is it really? Our mental map of the network is as blank as the map of the ocean that Columbus carried on his first Atlantic voyage. The Internet, its material nuts and bolts, is an unexplored territory. Until now. In Tubes, journalist Andrew Blum goes inside the Internet's physical infrastructure and flips on the lights, revealing an utterly fresh look at the online world we think we know. It is a shockingly tactile realm of unmarked compounds, populated by a special caste of engineer who pieces together our networks by hand; where glass fibers pulse with light and creaky telegraph buildings, tortuously rewired, become communication hubs once again. From the room in Los Angeles where the Internet first flickered to life to the caverns beneath Manhattan where new fiber-optic cable is buried; from the coast of Portugal, where a ten-thousand-mile undersea cable just two thumbs wide connects Europe and Africa, to the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, where Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have built monumental data centers%mdashBlum chronicles the dramatic story of the Internet's development, explains how it all works, and takes the first-ever in-depth look inside its hidden monuments.

Authors@Google: Cory Doctorow & Charles Stross | "The Rapture of Nerds"
Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross have just signed with Tor Books to co-author a fix-up novel based on a series of short stories called Rapture of the Nerds. The authors and their editor told us what to expect: Cory and Charlie intend to write a third novella in the sequence begun with "Jury Service" and "Appeals Court," and THE RAPTURE OF THE NERDS will consist of all three novellas, possibly with some small additional connective tissue if necessary. Many distinguished SF "novels" have actually been stitched together from short-fiction serieses like this; the venerable industry term for such a book is "fix-up", which doesn't imply anything deprecatory.

Artists at Google: Lang Lang | "The Chopin Album"
The Chopin Album -- Lang Lang's third album for Sony Classical -- includes the second set of Chopin's %Eacutetudes (op. 25), the Andante spianato & Grande Polonaise and a selection of shorter works that he has long enjoyed performing, including three Nocturnes and the Waltz op. 64 no. 1, popularly known as the "Minute" Waltz. Chopin "speaks with such a universal voice," Lang Lang says. "I genuinely believe he's a true ambassador for classical music among the great composers. He appeals to everyone." Chopin has accompanied Lang Lang throughout his career. One of the first pieces he learnt was the Grande Valse brillante in E-flat major op. 18 (included on this album), and it was Chopin's music that also carried him through a number of career-changing competitions, including Ettlingen (Germany) in 1994 and the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians in Sendai (Japan) in 1995, when he took First Prize performing Chopin's Second Piano Concerto. And it was with the Chopin %Eacutetudes that Lang Lang made his now-renowned Beijing Concert Hall recital at age 14 -- a performance that led to his studying with Gary Graffman at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. "The reason that Chopin's %Eacutetudes hold such a special place for pianists", says Lang Lang, "is that they provide the training for so many different elements of technique. But they're not just studies, not just normal exercises -- not just for your fingers -- they help you develop how your mind works, and how you ...

Authors@Google Dr. Judith Wright: Mindful Ways to Overcome Mindless Habits
Mindful Ways to Overcome Mindless Habits: The Neuroscience of our Deeper Yearning All the yoga, meditation, deep breathing, and exercise won't keep you conscious when you're in the grips of your mindless habits--your soft addictions. We all have soft addictions--whether it's procrastinating, over-shopping, overeating, texting, video games, too much TV...the list is endless. These seemingly harmless habits that we so often overdo not only cost time, money, and energy, but they also drain our productivity, numb our feelings, and mute our consciousness. It's not really a question of if you have soft addictions, but which ones do you have. The only reason we turn to our soft addictions is that they are trying to let us know about something we yearn for -- it's just that they don't deliver on that yearning. But if you wake up and pay attention, you can learn to design your life around these deeper needs. And when you do, amazing things happen. Not only do your bad habits start to drop away, you also save money, lose weight, have more energy, get more time in your day, and....you design a life of consciousness and mindfulness. In this compelling keynote presentation, Dr. Judith Wright, shares the research and neuroscience behind our deeper yearning and how you can use that information to not only let go of your soft addictions, but also to create a spectacular life.

Authors@Google Paddy Hirsch: "Man vs Markets: Economics Explained (Plain and Simple)"
"After years of TV and radio coverage, gallons of newsprint ink, and billions of scholarly opinions on the blogosphere, do we really understand the financial engineering that brought the global economy to the brink? The terms and acronyms that make up the language of economics are enough to cause the layman's head to start spinning: leverage, securitization, futures, options, MBS, CDS, CDO. Luckily, we have veteran journalist Paddy Hirsch%mdashsenior producer at APM's Marketplace and acknowledged Whiteboard Guru%mdashto help us crack the code. In Man vs. Markets, he proves that it's not impossible to understand what's going on in the glass-and-steel canyons of Wall Street; that most international financial transactions aren't all that different from those taking place every day in stores, in car dealerships, even on the playgrounds of Main Street. Bonds? They're basically loans. Futures? You probably used one when you ordered your Thanksgiving turkey last year. Options? Ever bought a fully transferable, returnable airline ticket? That's pretty much the same thing. With a winning combination of acquired wisdom, common sense, market savvy, and an outrageous sense of humor, Hirsch clearly explains and defines the instruments that power our financial system and very nearly caused its demise. Clever, insightful, hugely educational, and always entertaining, Man vs. Markets translates the often confusing language of finance, enabling every one of us to truly comprehend what makes the ...
