Everyone has heard of global warming by now – yet most people don’t see it as the pressing problem that it is. The reality is, if we keep business as usual, the Earth’s climate will warm up to a devastating, unlivable degree. John Doerr’s Speed & Scale (2021) presents a ten-objective program for mitigating the effects of global warming and getting our global greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Reducing emissions from 59 gigatons of carbon dioxide every year to zero is a colossal task, but if the entire world rallies and starts working towards this goal now, we have a chance at saving the planet, and the future of the human race.

Rupal J. Bhansali

At a time when many proclaim the death of active investing, Rupal J. Bhansali, global contrarian, makes a clarion call for its renaissance. Non-consensus thinking has resulted in breakthrough successes in science, sports, and Silicon Valley. Bhansali shows how to apply it to the world of investing to improve one's odds of achieving above-average returns with below-average risks. Her upside-down investment approach focuses on avoiding losers instead of picking the winners, asking the right questions instead of knowing the right answers, and scoring upset victories to achieve the greatest bang for one's research buck. 
 
 
 
Through a series of counterintuitive concepts and contemporary case studies from her firsthand experience of investing in fifty markets around the globe, Bhansali describes how to perform differentiated fundamental research to uncover mispriced stocks. She candidly shares her failures and mistakes as well as her successes and triumphs. She also weaves in her personal journey, recounting how she overcame the odds to succeed in a male-dominated profession and offering advice on breaking the glass ceiling.

The Heart(beat) of Business -...

Matthew S. Bennett, Inna Khazan,...

How is your workforce doing today? 
 Are they functioning at their best, or are they burned out? 
 The ability to manage and recover from stress is crucial for resiliency and cognitive, medical, mental, and social health. Burnout is the enemy of productivity, creativity, and overall business success. Until recently, it was difficult for leaders to get reliable data on people's ability to perform at their best and understand levels of burnout within the business. The Heart(beat) of Business presents the science behind peak performance and how stress and burnout destroy people's health and devastate business outcomes. 
 Due to recent technological advancements, a leader can use a biometric called heart rate variability (HRV) to get daily, weekly, and monthly data on the health and wellness of their workforce. HRV data provides leaders with an understanding of the capacity their people have to perform at their best. 
 The Heart(beat) of Business gives leaders and businesses a roadmap for implementing and using biometric data to measure and address burnout. It also provides a set of best-practice strategies using HRV data to improve cognitive, medical, mental, and social health crucial for business success. 
 If your business relies on people for success, becoming an early adopter of HRV will help you create a business environment that outperforms any competition.
