EDITORIAL RATING

6

THE RATING – WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

At getAbstract, we summarize books* that help people understand the world and
make it better. Whatever we select for our library has to excel in one or the
other of these two core criteria:

Enlightening – You’ll learn things that will inform and improve your decisions.

Helpful – You’ll take-away practical advice that will help you get better at
what you do.

We rate each piece of content on a scale of 1–10 with regard to these two core
criteria. Our rating helps you sort the titles on your reading list from solid
(5) to brilliant (10). Books we rate below 5 won’t be summarized. Here's what
the ratings mean:

10 – Brilliant. A helpful and/or enlightening book that, in addition to meeting
the highest standards in all pertinent aspects, stands out even among the best.
Often an instant classic and must-read for everyone.
9 – Superb. A helpful and/or enlightening book that is extremely well rounded,
has many strengths and no shortcomings worth mentioning.
8 – Very good. A helpful and/or enlightening book that has a substantial number
of outstanding qualities without excelling across the board, e.g. presents the
latest findings in a topical field and is written by a renowned expert but lacks
a bit in style.
7 – Good. A helpful and/or enlightening book that combines two or more
noteworthy strengths, e.g. contains uncommonly novel ideas and presents them in
an engaging manner.
6 – Notable. A helpful and/or enlightening book that stands out by at least one
aspect, e.g. is particularly well structured.
5 – Solid. A helpful and/or enlightening book, in spite of its obvious
shortcomings. For instance, it may offer decent advice in some areas while being
repetitive or unremarkable in others.


*getAbstract is summarizing much more than books. We look at every kind of
content that may matter to our audience: books, but also articles, reports,
videos and podcasts. What we say here about books applies to all formats we
cover.


QUALITIES

 * Applicable
 * Well Structured
 * Concrete Examples

QUALITIES

While the rating tells you how good a book is according to our two core
criteria, it says nothing about its particular defining features. Therefore, we
use a set of 20 qualities to characterize each book by its strengths:

Applicable – You’ll get advice that can be directly applied in the workplace or
in everyday situations.
Analytical – You’ll understand the inner workings of the subject matter.
Background – You’ll get contextual knowledge as a frame for informed action or
analysis.
Bold – You’ll find arguments that may break with predominant views.
Comprehensive – You’ll find every aspect of the subject matter covered.
Concrete Examples – You’ll get practical advice illustrated with examples of
real-world applications or anecdotes.
Controversial – You’ll be confronted with strongly debated opinions.
Eloquent – You’ll enjoy a masterfully written or presented text.
Engaging – You’ll read or watch this all the way through the end.
Eye opening – You’ll be offered highly surprising insights.
For beginners – You’ll find this to be a good primer if you’re a learner with
little or no prior experience/knowledge.
For experts – You’ll get the higher-level knowledge/instructions you need as an
expert.
Hot Topic – You’ll find yourself in the middle of a highly debated issue.
Innovative – You can expect some truly fresh ideas and insights on brand-new
products or trends.
Insider’s take – You’ll have the privilege of learning from someone who knows
her or his topic inside-out.
Inspiring – You’ll want to put into practice what you’ve read immediately.
Overview – You’ll get a broad treatment of the subject matter, mentioning all
its major aspects.
Scientific – You’ll get facts and figures grounded in scientific research.
Visionary – You’ll get a glimpse of the future and what it might mean for you.
Well structured – You’ll find this to be particularly well organized to support
its reception or application.

RECOMMENDATION

Toxic cultures and stress are a fact of life for many of today’s workers, but at
what cost? Communications guru Edward Beltran urges readers to take control of
their health and well-being, cultivating the “Fierce Resilience” required to
combat the root causes of stress in their workday. Whether you’re a leader
hoping to better manage stress for your team or a worker looking for strategies
to deal with a difficult boss, the Fierce Resilience framework arms you with the
tools you need to reclaim your peace of mind.


SUMMARY


DON’T ADDRESS JUST THE SYMPTOMS OF STRESS. BREAK THE PATTERNS RESPONSIBLE FOR
IT.

In 2016, the World Health Organization attributed 745,194 deaths worldwide to
workplace stress. According to data from the Anxiety Disorders Association of
America, some 40% of US workers report feeling excessive stress related to their
work. Stress is “a state of anxiety or tension caused by a difficult situation,”
and it can take a toll on a person in countless ways, including sleep
deprivation, irritability, depleted self-confidence, a sense of overwhelm, panic
attacks, depression, weight loss or gain, high blood pressure, and even death.

While many people take a “Band-Aid approach” by addressing the symptoms of their
stress, the time is ripe to start tackling the root causes of why so many
workers are stressed. Stressed-out individuals, the “victims” of stress, try to
build resilience to overcome challenges. Employee stress costs US companies an
estimated $300 billion each year due to factors such as absenteeism, employee
turnover, reduced productivity, and medical costs. Therefore, companies stand to
benefit from reducing employee stress. “Fierce Resilience...
