"There's no bigger stage in baseball than a World Series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and there's no bigger star than Japanese slugger Shohei Ohtani.

The 30-year-old's ability to hit mammoth home runs, pitch over 100 mph and steal bases with ease got him a $700 million contract from the Dodgers this past offseason. But despite his on-field exploits, the 30-year-old is also known for being one of the most humble players in the league.

It's an approach that was instilled in him when he was just a promising high school athlete. Ohtani attended Hanamaki Higashi High School, where coach Hiroshi Sasaki designed the athletic program to shape his players as people in addition to as athletes, according to journalist Jeff Fletcher's 2022 book 'Sho-Time'."

"In Sell Like a Spy, Jeremy Hurewitz has given us a unique and intriguing look into the communication-and relationship-building skills used by FBI hostage negotiators to gain a peaceful surrender, by criminal interrogators in gaining cooperation, and by CIA case officers when recruiting spies. Viewed from his background in journalism and business consulting, Hurewitz explains how these highly effective methods can be used more broadly in the business world to achieve success. A well-written, great read that I highly recommend."

The Impostor Heiress: Cassie Chadwick, the Greatest Grifter of the Gilded Age

Paroled felon. Rich doctor's wife. Famous clairvoyant. Cassie Chadwick, one of history's most successful con artists, was a master of reinvention. In the dusk of the Gilded Age, she swept from town to town, assuming fresh identities to swindle a fortune so large that it rivaled the robber barons of the time. Then came arguably the greatest con in American history. Using forged documents and her peerless wits, Cassie convinced prominent men from Cleveland to New York City that she was the illegitimate daughter of the world's wealthiest man—Andrew Carnegie. Businessmen loaned her hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time; the ensuing crash shattered banks and bankers alike. Her sensational trial made her a household name. The newspapers called her the "Queen of Swindlers," the "Duchess of Diamonds," the "High Priestess of Fraudulent Finance." Interspersing Cassie's crimes with stories of an unsuspecting Andrew Carnegie, author Annie Reed spins an enthralling, page-turning tale of true crime. Long before Anna Delvey captivated national attention, there was Cassie Chadwick—mother of the American con. https://diversionbooks.com/books/the-impostor-heiress/
