Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable.&#160; The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. Eric Ries defines a startup as&#160;an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business. The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively.&#160; Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on &ldquo;validated learning,&rdquo; rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute. Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs - in companies of all sizes - a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it&rsquo;s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever.

The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, read by Eric Ries

&ldquo;The most magnificent fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings.&rdquo; --The Oregonian Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal--including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world. Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want. But what Lyra doesn't know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other. . . .

vocal performance by Lamby

Is this a Lamb's life? 
Is this his destiny?
Tucked in the nightstand
When he left Kash-n-Karry
Can't open his eye. 
He's sleeping inside a dream...
I'm just a small Lamb. 
This is not the best of me
So I'm dreaming of when I go, 
Not too long now I know.
Sleeping in a drawer closed, 
Dreaming only matters to me.
Lamby...

Papa, you took home a Lamb 
When you put me on the bed
Dumb dog came and ate my head 
Blinded with my stuffing gone
Bad dog chewed a big hole in my face
Papa, should've known the dog would try
She took me from the bed and found a place
Carried me to her secret space 
Where chewing only matters...

Too late, when you came home
I was waiting by the door
A dog spit puddle on the floor
You put this little Lamby into the drawer
Until the morning I woke up to sneeze & see
Papa, you-you put a blue cap in my eye 
To match my pair of Lambpants, 
Cuffs and all...

I see a little silluetto of a Lamb.
Scary Goose, Scary Goose, 
Will you do the Lamb-Dango?
Choppa-choppas frightening
Gnomes are always fighting me!
Galileo! And Scot Baio!
Hold the lettuce and the mayo
Hot potato in a robe! Ridiculous!

I'm just a cute Lamb, everybody loves me
He's just a cute Lamb from Kash-n-Karry
Blue pants and eye and red dragon Jonesy
Crazy talk, moonwalk, will you let me go?
Ben Stiller! Gnome, he will not let you go! 
Let him go! Ben Stiller! 
He will not let you go! 
Let him go! Ben Stiller! 
He will not let you go! 
Let him go! Will not let you go! 
Let him go! Will not let you go! 
Let him go!

Gnome-gnome-gnome, 
gnome, gnome, gnome, 
gnome, gnome, gnome!
Oh, mama mia, mama mia! 
Mama mia, let me go!
My Papa got a blue 
Dasani bottle cap for me...
For me, for me, Lamb-ME!

So you think you can chew me 
and swallow my eyes?
Don't you think I might bake you 
in one of my pies?
Dog, baby, hope that you get some rabies!
Or maybe the gout! 
I'm getting myself outta here.

All that really matters, now that I can see,
All that really matters...
A after Dad and family is Love & Fleece...
Never pick a Lamb's nose.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" Queen Song Parody | Rock, Pop, R&B Music for Kids, Lamby

'Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices... Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?' A dazzling novel about all the choices that go into a life well lived, from the internationally bestselling author of Reasons to Stay Alive and How To Stop Time. Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig's enchanting new novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.
