Mark Carney - Values artwork Values
Building a Better World for All
Mark Carney
Genre: Economics
Price: $16.99
Publish Date: March 16, 2021
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
Seller: Penguin Random House Canada

A bold and urgent argument by economist and former bank governor Mark Carney on the radical, foundational change that is required if we are to build an economy and society based not on market values but on human values. Our world is full of fault lines--growing inequality in income and opportunity; systemic racism; health and economic crises from a global pandemic; mistrust of experts; the existential threat of climate change; deep threats to employment in a digital economy with robotics on the rise. These fundamental problems and others like them, argues Mark Carney, stem from a common crisis in values. Drawing on the turmoil of the past decade, Mark Carney shows how "market economies" have evolved into "market societies" where price determines the value of everything.      When we think about what we, as individuals, value most highly, we might list fairness, health, the protection of our rights, economic security from poverty, the preservation of natural diversity, resources, and beauty. The tragedy is, these things that we hold dearest are too often the casualties of our twenty-first century world, where they ought to be our bedrock.      In this profoundly important new book, Mark Carney offers a vision of a more humane society and a practical manifesto for getting there. How we reform our infrastructure to make things better and fairer is at the heart of every chapter, with outlines of wholly new ideas that can restructure society and enshrine our human values at the core of all that we build for our children and grandchildren.

Seller: Penguin Random House Canada

#1 New York Times Bestseller   “THIS. This is the right book for right now. Yes, learning requires focus. But, unlearning and relearning requires much more—it requires choosing courage over comfort. In Think Again , Adam Grant weaves together research and storytelling to help us build the intellectual and emotional muscle we need to stay curious enough about the world to actually change it. I’ve never felt so hopeful about what I don’t know.” —Brené Brown, Ph.D., #1  New York Times  bestselling author of  Dare to Lead   " Think Again is a must-read for anyone who wants to create a culture of learning and exploration, whether at home, at work, or at school... In an increasingly divided world, the lessons in this book are more important than ever." –Bill and Melinda Gates The bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval--and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds--and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take , he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

Seller: Harriman House Ltd

Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership book that took America and the world by storm, two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life. Sent to the most violent battlefield in Iraq, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin’s SEAL task unit faced a seemingly impossible mission: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories in SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, they learned that leadership—at every level—is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training that helped forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After departing the SEAL Teams, they launched Echelon Front, a company that teaches these same leadership principles to businesses and organizations. From promising startups to Fortune 500 companies, Babin and Willink have helped scores of clients across a broad range of industries build their own high-performance teams and dominate their battlefields. Now, detailing the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat, Extreme Ownership shows how to apply them to any team, family or organization. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic such as Cover and Move, Decentralized Command, and Leading Up the Chain, explaining what they are, why they are important, and how to implement them in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership revolutionizes business management and challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

Seller: Penguin Random House Canada

The  New York Times bestseller Shortlisted for the 2020 Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Netflix cofounder Reed Hastings reveals for the first time the unorthodox culture behind one of the world's most innovative, imaginative, and successful companies There has never before been a company like Netflix. It has led nothing short of a revolution in the entertainment industries, generating billions of dollars in annual revenue while capturing the imaginations of hundreds of millions of people in over 190 countries. But to reach these great heights, Netflix, which launched in 1998 as an online DVD rental service, has had to reinvent itself over and over again. This type of unprecedented flexibility would have been impossible without the counterintuitive and radical management principles that cofounder Reed Hastings established from the very beginning. Hastings rejected the conventional wisdom under which other companies operate and defied tradition to instead build a culture focused on freedom and responsibility, one that has allowed Netflix to adapt and innovate as the needs of its members and the world have simultaneously transformed. Hastings set new standards, valuing people over process, emphasizing innovation over efficiency, and giving employees context, not controls. At Netflix, there are no vacation or expense policies. At Netflix, adequate performance gets a generous severance, and hard work is irrel­evant. At Netflix, you don’t try to please your boss, you give candid feedback instead. At Netflix, employees don’t need approval, and the company pays top of market. When Hastings and his team first devised these unorthodox principles, the implications were unknown and untested. But in just a short period, their methods led to unparalleled speed and boldness, as Netflix quickly became one of the most loved brands in the world. Here for the first time, Hastings and Erin Meyer, bestselling author of The Culture Map and one of the world’s most influential business thinkers, dive deep into the controversial ideologies at the heart of the Netflix psyche, which have generated results that are the envy of the business world. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with current and past Netflix employees from around the globe and never-before-told stories of trial and error from Hastings’s own career, No Rules Rules is the fascinating and untold account of the philosophy behind one of the world’s most innovative, imaginative, and successful companies.

Lorsque Alphonse Desjardins fondait, avec le soutien indéfectible de son épouse Dorimène, la Caisse populaire de Lévis, le 6 décembre 1900, il ignorait à quel point il était visionnaire en posant la première pierre de ce qui allait devenir un mouvement coopératif qui va contribuer – de façon remarquable et durable – à l’essor du Québec d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. Première coopérative d’épargne et de crédit en Amérique, Desjardins se distingue en étant proche des citoyens et des entreprises, mais aussi par son engagement dans la société québécoise au fil des époques, que ce soient dans des moments heureux ou lors de crises. Ce livre – illustré par plus de 300 photos d’archives – retrace l’histoire, le développement et l’importance de Desjardins au Québec, au Canada et à l’étranger. Découpé par chapitres thématiques, il présente de façon éloquente les temps forts du Mouvement au fil du temps et ses ambitions actuelles, ainsi que son importance dans la vie et le coeur des gens.

What is a boutique? A boutique is a professional services firm past the start-up stage but prescale. Examples can be found in consulting, marketing and advertising, IT services, etc. It’s basically anyone who sells their expertise. There are 1,465,900 boutiques. This book is for them. It is about what firms at scale do. It is about what boutiques need to do to scale. And this knowledge gap between those at scale, and those not at scale, makes all the difference. There is about $2 trillion spent per year on professional services. Those at scale capture most of it. If you want a bigger piece of the pie, you must scale. We are in the golden era of boutiques. The business models of your clients are being disrupted. This makes it virtually impossible for them to have all the required expertise in-house. They are looking for external expertise. They have big budgets to spend. Clients are buying from boutiques in record numbers.

How Central Bankers Rigged the World
Nomi Prins
Genre: Industries & Professions
Price: $14.99
Publish Date: May 01, 2018
Publisher: PublicAffairs
Seller: Hachette Digital, Inc.

In this searing exposéformer Wall Street insider Nomi Prins shows how the 2007-2008 financial crisis turbo-boosted the influence of central bankers and triggered a massive shift in the world order. Central banks and international institutions like the IMF have overstepped their traditional mandates by directing the flow of epic sums of fabricated money without any checks or balances. Meanwhile, the open door between private and central banking has ensured endless opportunities for market manipulation and asset bubbles -- with government support. Through on-the-ground reporting, Prins reveals how five regions and their central banks reshaped economics and geopolitics. She discloses how Mexico navigated its relationship with the US while striving for independence and how Brazil led the BRICS countries to challenge the US dollar's hegemony. She explains how China's retaliation against the Fed's supremacy is aiding its ongoing ascent as a global superpower and how Japan is negotiating the power shift from the West to the East. And she illustrates how the European response to the financial crisis fueled instability that manifests itself in everything from rising populism to the shocking Brexit vote. Packed with tantalizing details about the elite players orchestrating the world economy -- from Janet Yellen and Mario Draghi to Ben Bernanke and Christine Lagarde -- Collusion takes the reader inside the most discreet conversations at exclusive retreats like Jackson Hole and Davos. A work of meticulous reporting and bracing analysis, Collusion will change the way we understand the new world of international finance.

Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi certaines personnes semblent s'enrichir facilement, alors que d'autres semblent destinées à une vie de difficultés financières ? Est-ce une question d'éducation, d'intelligence, de compétences, de moment opportun, d'habitudes de travail, de contacts, de chance, ou encore de leur choix de carrière, d'entreprise ou d'investissement? Réponse étonnante: Aucune des précédentes ! Dans son ouvrage extraordinaire intitulé Les Secrets d'un esprit millionnaire, T. Harv Eker affirme: « Donnez-moi cinq minutes, et je vous prédirai votre avenir financier pour le reste de votre vie ! » Eker y arrive en identifiant votre « plan financier et de réussite intérieur ». Nous avons tous un plan financier personnel imprimé dans notre subconscient, et c'est ce plan qui, plus que toute autre chose, déterminera notre vie financière. Vous aurez beau tout savoir sur le marketing, la vente, les négociations, la bourse, l'immobilier et le monde de la finance, mais si votre plan financier intérieur ne vise pas un degré de réussite élevé, vous n'aurez jamais beaucoup d'argent ; et si par hasard vous veniez à en avoir, vous le perdriez fort probablement ! La bonne nouvelle, c'est que vous pouvez maintenant remettre en vigueur votre plan financier intérieur afin de réussir de manière naturelle et automatique. Les Secrets d'un esprit millionnaire, c'est deux livres en un. La première partie explique comment fonctionne votre plan financier intérieur. Grâce à la combinaison rare de débrouillardise, d'humour et de cœur chez Eker, vous découvrirez en quoi les influences de votre enfance ont façonné votre destinée financière. Vous découvrirez également comment identifier votre propre plan financier intérieur et le « réviser » non seulement pour obtenir la réussite, mais, plus important encore, pour la préserver et l'augmenter. Dans la deuxième partie, on vous présentera dix-sept dossiers financiers, qui décrivent exactement en quoi les riches pensent et agissent différemment de la plupart des gens pauvres et de la classe moyenne. Chaque Dossier financier vous propose des actions à mettre en pratique dans le monde réel afin d'accroître considérablement votre revenu et faire fortune. Si vous ne réussissez pas aussi bien financièrement que vous ne le souhaitez, vous devrez modifier votre plan financier intérieur. Malheureusement, votre plan financier intérieur actuel aura tendance à vous suivre toute votre vie, à moins que vous ne l'identifiiez et ne le révisiez, et c'est précisément ce que vous ferez à l'aide de ce livre extraordinaire. Selon T. Harv Eker, c'est simple. Sivous pensez comme les riches et si vous faite ce qu'ils font, il y a des chances pour que vous deveniez riche vous aussi !

La liberté financière dès 45 ans, c’est le but que tout jeune adulte doit viser, soutient le vulgarisateur économique le plus en vue du Québec. Mais attention, «liberté financière» ne signifie pas être riche… Ça veut juste dire: l’être assez pour se payer une vie plus facile et, surtout, plus riche de sens. Une vie où on n’est pas à la merci des factures mensuelles qu’on aime tant s’imposer! Pour atteindre cet objectif ambitieux, tu ne peux pas faire les choses comme tout le monde. Il te faut un plan. Tu dois préciser tes choix d’avenir. Appliquer avec discipline trois règles incontournables qui t’aideront à accumuler le plus rapidement possible un capital substantiel. Et profiter des nombreuses curiosités de l’impôt. Dans ce livre destiné aux jeunes mais où chacun trouvera matière à améliorer son sort, Pierre-Yves McSween, sur le ton mordant qu’on lui connaît, nous incite à choisir notre camp : ceux qui rameront pendant des décennies pour rattraper le passé ou ceux qui n’auront plus à se soucier de leur futur. Encore une fois, il met les rênes de notre destin entre nos mains.
