    Summary:
    Brought to you by Penguin. A cult bestseller in the US, available around the world for the first time, The Great Mental Models introduces the simple tools we all need to see the world clearly. Time and time again, great thinkers like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have credited their success to mental models: simple representations of how the world works that can be applied in a wide array of contexts. Mastering a small number of these concepts enables you to rapidly grasp new information, identify patterns others dont, and better anticipate outcomes. The Great Mental Models introduces the most powerful models that anyone can use right away to improve decision making and productivity. In this volume, Shane Parrish introduces mental tools borrowed from the hard sciences in language anyone can understand, including: - Leverage: When the application of a small force to one end results in a larger force at the other end. - Inertia: An object (or organization) at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. - Activation Energy: The minimum amount of energy required to incite a chemical reaction. Building a latticework of mental models is one of the most powerful things you can do to become a better thinker, leader, or creator. The Great Mental Models is the accessible guide you need to unlock this ability. © Shane Parrish 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024

    Summary:
    Brought to you by Penguin. 'Let me stay there, let me paint. Let me go to bed when the sun comes up. I don't want life to sharpen me.' Why make art? Faced with a capitalist system that has turned art into artwork and creative expression into cut-throat competition, why do so many artists try anyway? In this eye-opening journey through the bizarre world of contemporary art, criticism duo The White Pube tell the story of art like never before. Poor Artists follows aspiring artist Quest Talukdar through childhood obsessions, art school lessons and her professional debut. In surreal encounters with other artists, Quest learns profound truths about money and power, and must decide whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself. Blending imaginative storytelling with dialogue from anonymized interviews with real people in the art world who have all had to wrestle with the same decisions including a Turner Prize winner or two, a few ghosts, a Venice Biennale fraudster and a communist messiah Poor Artists is a powerful testimony to the emotional, existential and financial experience of artists today.

    Summary:
    Brought to you by Penguin. Gambling Man is the biography of one of the worlds least known but most consequential investors. Japans Masayoshi Son has made and lost several fortunes, investing or controlling assets worth $1 trillion in the past two decades through his media-tech giant, SoftBank. He bankrolled Alibaba, Chinas internet colossus, before the world had heard about it; plotted with Steve Jobs to turn the iPhone into a wonder product; and financed hundreds of tech start-ups, fuelling the biggest boom Silicon Valley has ever seen. This book takes you on Sons wild ride, from his birthplace in a Korean slum in post-war Japan to the modern-day temples of power. It speeds through Donald Trumps golden skyscraper in Manhattan, the royal palaces of Riyadh and the throne rooms of Chinas Marxist rulers; all places where Son has deployed his unique blend of financial engineering and crazy risk-taking. Sons story captures a 25 year-span of hyper-globalisation in which money, technologies and ideas flowed freely. From the launch of the microchip to the advent of artificial intelligence, he has ridden the technological wave which has created extraordinary wealth and economic change. His topsy-turvy business career is testimony to the power of optimism, daring to dream, ever in search of the Next Big Thing. As an ethnic Korean in Japan, Son has overcome adversity and discrimination to become Japans best-known businessman and empire-builder but he remains an elusive, intensely private figure. This book, by a former editor of the Financial Times, contains a wealth of new information and has had the co-operation of many of the key participants, including Son himself. Written with a verve appropriate to its subject, Gambling Man reveals the man behind the money, what drives him, why he matters, and what he plans for his next act. © Lionel Barber 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024

Amelia keeps running into this peculiar man by accident, and it takes less than five minutes for her to realize hes perfect for her purposes. Because as handsome as Reggie is, no one could possibly want to marry him right? As Amelia and Reggie practice their fauxmance and more of Reggie's centuries-old secrets come to light, Amelia is surprised to find her first impressions could not have been more wrong, and that Reggies bark might be worse than his bite 'Bloody delightful!'
