  Plutarch

  The ancient biographer and essayist Plutarch thought deeply about the leadership qualities of the eminent Greeks and Romans he profiled in his famous—and massive—Lives, including politicians and generals such as Pericles, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Mark Antony. Luckily for us, Plutarch distilled what he learned about wise leadership in a handful of essays, which are filled with essential lessons for experienced and aspiring leaders in any field today. 
   
   
   
  In "To an Uneducated Leader," "How to Be a Good Leader," and "Should an Old Man Engage in Politics?" Plutarch explains the characteristics of successful leaders, from being guided by reason and exercising self-control to being free from envy and the love of power, illustrating his points with memorable examples drawn from legendary Greco-Roman lives. He also explains how to train for leadership, persuade and deal with colleagues, manage one's career, and much more. 
   
   
   
  Writing at the height of the Roman Empire, Plutarch suggested that people should pursue positions of leadership only if they are motivated by "judgment and reason"—not "rashly inspired by the vain pursuit of glory, a sense of rivalry, or a lack of other meaningful activities." His wise counsel remains as relevant as ever.

  The global debt crisis is one of the most pressing issues of our time, affecting nations, corporations, and individuals alike. Over the past several decades, debt has skyrocketed across the world, creating a complex web of financial obligations that have far-reaching consequences. As debt levels soar, the very foundations of economic stability are being threatened, with severe implications for future generations. This book seeks to explore the various dimensions of the global debt crisis and its impact on societies and economies. 
  At the heart of the issue lies the interconnectedness of global economies. In today’s world, financial markets, international trade, and political systems are all intricately linked. A debt crisis in one country can quickly spread to others, as seen in past global financial meltdowns. The global economy operates as a delicate balance, where debt plays a central role in fueling growth. However, when debt becomes excessive, it can destabilize entire financial systems, leading to recessions, defaults, and social upheaval. This is particularly true for countries and corporations that rely heavily on borrowing to maintain their operations and growth. 
  This book will provide an in-depth look at the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to the global debt crisis. From national debt and the borrowing practices of governments to the rising levels of consumer and corporate debt, each section will explore the different aspects of debt that contribute to this growing problem. Understanding the dynamics of debt is crucial for comprehending the broader economic trends and risks that shape the modern world.

  Think for Yourself - Restoring...

  At the height of the 2014 Ebola epidemic, a man who had recently returned from West Africa with a fever and severe abdominal pain entered a hospital in Dallas—and was sent home. Even after healthcare workers learned their patient had come from Liberia, ground zero of the Ebola hot zone, not one of those treating him considered the deadly virus as a possible cause of his condition. Shortly after the man died, one of the nurses who had treated him sought clearance from the Centers for Disease Control to board a commercial flight. She reported a fever of 99.5 degrees, but because the protocol restricted travel at 100.4 degrees or higher, she was cleared. She was later confirmed to be infected with Ebola. 
   
   
   
  How could this happen? As Vikram Mansharamani shows in this eye-opening book, our complex, data-flooded world has made us ever more reliant on experts, protocols, and technology. We've stopped thinking for ourselves. (Have you ever followed your GPS device to a deserted parking lot?) 
   
   
   
  Of course, experts, protocols, and computer-based systems are essential to helping us make informed decisions. What we need is a new approach for integrating these information sources more effectively. The author provides principles and techniques for doing just that, empowering listeners with a more critical and nuanced approach to making decisions.
