  “A must read for all students of the financial markets . . . clear insight and spirited good humor [backed] up with cold hard facts.” —Seth Klarman, President, The Baupost Group LLC    The seductive elegance of classical finance theory is powerful, yet value investing requires that we reject both the precepts of modern portfolio theory (MPT) and pretty much all of its tools and techniques. In this important new book, highly respected and controversial value investor and behavioral analyst James Montier explains how value investing is the only tried and tested method of delivering sustainable long-term returns.   He shows you why everything you learnt at business school is wrong; how to think properly about valuation and risk; how to avoid the dangers of growth investing; how to be a contrarian; how to short stocks; how to avoid value traps; and how to hedge ignorance using cheap insurance. Value Investing provides the tools to start thinking in a different fashion about the way in which you invest, introducing ways of overriding the emotional distractions that bedevil the pursuit of a value approach and ultimately thinking and acting differently from the herd.   “A leading light in value investing and behavioral finance . . . shows you what’s wrong with standard investment thinking and offers important insight into how to improve your process.” —Michael J. Mauboussin, Chief Investment Strategist at Legg Mason Capital Management, and author of Think Twice: Harnessing the Power of Counterintuition

  Champion gymnast turned serial entrepreneur and investor Lisa Carmen Wang empowers women to break free of Good Girl Brainwashing—perfectionism, people-pleasing, permission-asking—to become their most authentic and powerful selves. 
  “A woman steps into her full power not when she is finally given permission to do so, but when she realizes she never needed it in the first place.” 
  Lisa Carmen Wang was raised to be a good girl, praised for her obedience, politeness, modesty—traits that became the bedrock of her personality. But as she grew up, the never-ending pursuit of being the perfect good girl left her feeling hollow, despite her achievements as a champion gymnast, straight-A student, and Ivy League graduate. Her fears of failure and rejection and her worries about other peoples’ opinions held her back from embracing her most authentic and powerful self at work and in life. 
  But all that changed when Lisa realized she was capable of so much more; that deep inside a Bad Bitch was waiting to be unleashed. 
  The culmination of decades of training as an elite athlete, business leader, serial entrepreneur, and certified executive coach, The Bad Bitch Business Bible is Lisa’s no-holds-barred guide for women who want to break free of Good Girl Brainwashing and take charge of their bodies, boundaries, and bank accounts. Interweaving intimate personal stories with large life lessons, Lisa shows you how to transform from insecure good girl to unapologetic Bad Bitch so you can start earning the money, power, and respect you deserve.  
  Whether you’re launching your first business, transitioning in your career, trying to find your community, or making a life change, The Bad Bitch Business Bible is an invaluable resource that teaches you how to tap into the most powerful version of yourself and become the Bad Bitch you were born to be.

  What type of leadership is needed in a moment that demands adaptive change?
  Tod Bolsinger, author of Canoeing the Mountains, is uniquely positioned to explore the qualities of adaptive leadership in contexts ranging from churches to nonprofit organizations. He deftly examines both the external challenges we face and the internal resistance that holds us back.
  Bolsinger writes: "To temper describes the process of heating, holding, hammering, cooling, and reheating that adds stress to raw iron until it becomes a glistening knife blade or chisel tip." When reflection and relationships are combined into a life of deliberate practice, leaders become both stronger and more flexible. As a result, these resilient leaders are able to offer greater wisdom and skill to the organizations they serve.

  Don't fly blind. See how the power of experiments works for you. 
   
   
   
  When it comes to improving customer experiences, trying out new business models, or developing new products, even the most experienced managers often get it wrong. They discover that intuition, experience, and big data alone don't work. What does? Running disciplined business experiments. And what if companies roll out new products or introduce new customer experiences without running these experiments? They fly blind. 
   
   
   
  That's what Harvard Business School professor Stefan Thomke shows in this rigorously researched and eye-opening book. It guides you through best practices in business experimentation, illustrates how these practices work at leading companies, and answers some fundamental questions: What makes a good experiment? How do you test in online and brick-and-mortar businesses? In B2B and B2C? How do you build an experimentation culture? Also, best practice means running many experiments. Indeed, some hugely successful companies, such as Amazon, Booking.com, and Microsoft, run tens of thousands of controlled experiments annually, engaging millions of users. Thomke shows us how these and many other organizations prove that experimentation provides significant competitive advantage.
