“MORE than a COG” is a guide meant to help “regular” employees learn how they can get more out of their jobs while becoming indispensable to their companies. For as long as I can remember I have worked alongside some number of “regular” employees. And they have all complained about their positions, their compensation and their companies. And, they never understood why they were in the positions they were, or why others (such as myself) were treated so differently. Finally, after years of being exposed to such tribulations, and, coupled with the past several years of hard times for the American work-force, I decided to try to help all of those regular employees become more than regular. Are you a Cog in some big machine of a Company? It’s OK – most of us are. But are you secure in your position within that company? Are you getting recognized and compensated the way you think you should? Whether you’re flipping burgers for McDonalds, bending fenders for GM or counting beans for Earnst & Young, you need to be more than just another Cog – you need to be the best. Learn how great employees: Work at a career, not just a job. Don’t allow time, inexperience or overconfidence to limit them. Understand and honor the two-way relationship between themselves and their company. Make sure that everyone knows what needs to be known. Recognize and act upon opportunities to shine. Honor commitments that may have been made. Manage supervisor and customer expectation levels. Show pride in hard jobs done well. Take responsibility when things go wrong. Recognize that superiors and customers are partners for success. This ground-breaking manual for employees can show you how to increase your value to your company, while increasing the amount of joy and pride you take in your work. Here are some of the strong points that the book and its message have going for it: Reads easy - I am literally “talking” to the reader. As a reader you can visualize me speaking to you, employee-to-employee. The “conversation” feels personal, it feels natural. Reads quickly - An interested reader should be able to breeze through this book in two or three sittings. This is not some dense, 1,000+ page tome, but more of a svelte manual, short and to the point. Humorous and topical - I employ many references to real life situations or popular theatrical arts that most readers will identify with and enjoy. The stories help people feel more at ease, making it easier to get the message across. Surprising and Obvious at the same time - Just like anything else that generates those wonderful “Ah ha” moments in life, this book says things that will open peoples' eyes and make them feel surprised that they “...never thought of that before.” And yet as you sit there, after reading it, you will know that most people don't see what is so obvious. High Goals Tempered with Realism - With each lesson of “how to do things” comes a safety valve, a dose of reality, called Caveats. Readers appreciate it when an author lets them know that he knows the limits of his own advice. Easy to Grasp - Each chapter presents a single notion or technique. Plus the text is distilled down to its most basic message in the final “take-away” that concludes each chapter. Written by true authority - I am not some stuffy college professor, a Wall Street analyst, or retired CEO. I am and have always been, an employee – just a Cog. I am writing as one employee to another. I know what I'm talking about, and it comes across that way. A Needy Audience - The U.S. collegiate system churns out several hundred thousand new employees per year, on top of the tens of millions of workers already in the workforce. Nobody has been trained on “how to work.” Without help, many of these people are sitting ducks. Little Competition – There are dozens of books on how to climb the corporate ladder, how to be an effective leader or successful entrepreneur, how to be more organized, yada, yada, yada. But there are practically no books on how to be a good employee. Managers make up less than 20% of any corporation. I'm interested in the other 80%, the people nobody cares too much about - the common worker. Timely - Now more than ever, employees need to hear the message of this book. Employees need to learn what they can so that they can hold on to the jobs they have.

Five robots. One unforgettable journey. Their programming will never be the same. Wall-E meets The Wild Robot in this middle grade instant classic about five robots on a mission to rescue their inventor from the corporation that controls them all. Cog looks like a normal twelve-year-old boy. But his name is short for “cognitive development,” and he was built to learn. But after an accident leaves him damaged, Cog wakes up in an unknown lab—and Gina, the scientist who created and cared for him, is nowhere to be found. Surrounded by scientists who want to study him and remove his brain, Cog recruits four robot accomplices for a mission to find her. Cog, ADA, Proto, Trashbot, and Car’s journey will likely involve much cognitive development in the form of mistakes, but Cog is willing to risk everything to find his way back to Gina. In this charming stand-alone adventure, Greg van Eekhout breathes life and wisdom into an unforgettable character and crafts a story sure to earn its place among beloved classics like Katherine Applegate’s The One and Only Ivan.

Life in the Market Ecosystem, the second book inthe Nature of Liberty trilogy, confronts evolutionary psychology head on. It describes the evolutionary psychologists’ theory of gene-culture co-evolution, which states that although customs and culture are not predetermined by anyone’s genetic makeup, one’s practice of a custom can influence the likelihood of that person having children and grandchildren. Therefore, according to the theory, customs count as evolutionary adaptations. Extending that theory further, as entire systems of political economy—capitalism, socialism, and hunter-gatherer subsistence—consist of multiple customs and institutions, it follows that an entire political-economic system can likewise be classified as an evolutionary adaptation. Considering that liberal-republican capitalism has, insofar as the system has been implemented, done more to reduce the mortality rate and secure human fertility than other models of societal structure, it stands to reason that liberal-republican capitalism is itself a beneficent evolutionary adaptation. Moreover, as essential tenets of Rand’s Objectivism—individualism, observation-based rationality, and peaceable self-interest—have been integral to the development of the capitalist ecosystem, important aspects of the Objectivism are worthwhile adaptations as well. This book shall uphold that position, as well as combat critiques by evolutionary psychologists and environmentalists who denounce capitalism as self-destructive. Instead, capitalism is the most sustainable and fairest political model. This book argues that of all the philosophies, Objectivism is the one that is most fit for humanity.
