Описание: Although William James was a significant presence in Paris in the early 20th century, the role he played in the creation of Marcel Proust`s ground-breaking novel A la recherche du temps perdu has been neglected by scholars. Much of what made Proust`s novel so original stems from James`s writings, which were available to Proust in translation.
The bestselling author of the acclaimed "House of Cards" and "The Last Tycoons "turns his spotlight on to Goldman Sachs and the controversy behind its success. From the outside, Goldman Sachs is a perfect company. The Goldman PR machine loudly declares it to be smarter, more ethical, and more profitable than all of its competitors. Behind closed doors, however, the firm constantly straddles the line between conflict of interest and legitimate deal making, wields significant influence over all levels of government, and upholds a culture of power struggles and toxic paranoia. And its clever bet against the mortgage market in 2007--unknown to its clients--may have made the financial ruin of the Great Recession worse. "Money and Power" reveals the internal schemes that have guided the bank from its founding through its remarkable windfall during the 2008 financial crisis. Through extensive research and interviews with the inside players, including current CEO Lloyd Blankfein, William Cohan constructs a nuanced, timely portrait of Goldman Sachs, the company that was too big--and too ruthless--to fail.

Описание: Learn how to take the bold yet intelligent risks that will help you thrive in business--and in life. How can you challenge and change yourself when you need it most? We're creatures of habit, programmed by evolution to favor the safe and familiar, especially when the stakes are high. This bias no longer serves us in a world of constant change. In fact, today, safe thinking has become extremely dangerous. Through stories of trailblazers in business, health, education and activism, and leveraging decades of research into creativity and performance, Jonah Sachs reveals a path to higher performance and creativity for anyone ready to step out of their comfort zone. He introduces troublemakers willing to challenge corporate culture like the executive who convinced CVS to drop its multibillion-dollar tobacco business. She now leads the pharmacy giant. Readers will get firsthand accounts of breaking from the status quo from a Nobel prize winning doctor who nearly got himself thrown out medicine, a two-time NBA championship coach who brought joy back to his team by tuning down the focus on competition, a CEO who rebuilt her reputation and life from the ashes from one of the biggest flops in internet history and a Colombian mayor who started an incredibly successful career of political reform by mooning an angry crowd. Unsafe Thinking is full of counter-intuitive insights that will challenge you to rethink how you work. You'll learn:
Why your area of deep expertise is often where you'll find your biggest blind spots
Why anxiety can be fuel for creativity
When to trust intuition and when to challenge it
How collaborating only with those that share your values stunts your creativity
How to build an organization that embraces intelligent risk.
An inspiring and accessible read, Unsafe Thinking has the power to change both the way you approach your work and your life.

The history, mystique, and remarkable success of Goldman Sachs, the world s premier investment bank, are examined in unprecedented depth in this fascinating and authoritative study. The firm s spectacular ascent is traced in the context of its tenacious grip on its core values.

And she describes in detail the monumental events of 1998 that shook Goldman Sachs and the financial world. This is a rare and revealing look inside a great institution the last private partnership on Wall Street and inside the financial world at its highest levels."
