Par Jordan Belfort. 2023
From the "raw and frequently hilarious" (The New York Times) investment guru and New York Times bestselling author of The…
Wolf of Wall Street who inspired the Oscar-winning film of the same name, a witty and clear-eyed guide for anyone who wants to play the stock market to their advantage and learn the secrets of a top Wall Street investor.From Jordan Belfort, author of The Way of the Wolf and subject of the hit movie The Wolf of Wall Street, comes his long-anticipated guide for mastering the stock market. The Wolf of Investing teaches you when to buy, sell, hold, and cash out; how to make smarter (and safer) investments; and how to build significant wealth over both the short- and long-term. Unlike traditional investment audiobooks, every minute of Jordan's lessons, colourful stories, and principles entertains you with the charismatic swagger portrayed so famously on the silver screen by Leonardo DiCaprio.When Belfort's brother-in-law, Fernando, lost nearly $100,000 dollars in investments in under sixty days, Jordan sat him down for some tough love. Using the financial acumen and insider's knowledge he learned during his time working on Wall Street, Jordan taught Fernando how to turn his portfolio around. Along the way, he explained which decisions were bad and why, as well as how to pivot from failure to success.Belfort teaches you everything you need to know about savvy investing-even if, like Fernando, whatever stock you've touched has turned to yesterday's trash. As you listen to this guide, you will not only learn life's most profitable lessons, but you'll also laugh out loud at Belfort's brazen honesty and salty wit. After being enraged by watching big banks steal money from individual investors, and determined to right the wrongs of his own infamous past, Belfort now shows regular investors how we can use Wall Street to our advantage.Whether you're new to investing or want to take your portfolio to the next level, you will learn everything Belfort knows about the stock market from The Wolf of Investing.(P)2023 Simon & Schuster AudioCorporate Crime and Punishment: The Politics of Negotiated Justice in Global Markets
Par Cornelia Woll. 2023
The geopolitics of American law enforcement and how it changed corporate criminal accountability in other countriesOver the past decade, many…
of the world’s biggest companies have found themselves embroiled in legal disputes over corruption, fraud, environmental damage, tax evasion, or sanction violations. Corporations including Volkswagen, BP, and Credit Suisse have paid record-breaking fines. Many critics of globalization and corporate impunity cheer this turn toward accountability. Others, however, question American dominance in legal battles that seem to impose domestic legal norms beyond national boundaries. In this book, Cornelia Woll examines the politics of American corporate criminal law’s extraterritorial reach. As governments abroad seek to respond to US law enforcement actions against their companies, they turn to flexible legal instruments that allow prosecutors to settle a case rather than bring it to court. With her analysis of the international and domestic politics of law enforcement targeting big business, Woll traces the rise of what she calls “negotiated corporate justice” in global markets.Woll charts the path to this shift through case studies of geopolitical tensions and accusations of “economic lawfare,” pitting the United States against the European Union, China, and Japan. She then examines the reactions to the new legal landscape, describing institutional changes in the common law countries of the United Kingdom and Canada and the civil law countries of France, Brazil, and Germany. Through an insightful interdisciplinary analysis of how the prosecution of corporate crime has evolved in the twenty-first century, Woll demonstrates the profound transformation of the relationship between states and private actors in world markets, showing that law is part of economic statecraft in the connected global economy.Connecting to the Future: A Blueprint for Dynamic Leadership

Zusammenhang mit der Digitalisierung mehr und mehr Fragen ins Zentrum, die sich differenzierter mit den gesellschaftlichen und sozialen Auswirkungen, veränderten Lebensweisen, weiterführenden Möglichkeiten und auch mit neuen Gefahren befassen. Dabei spielen auch jüngste Entwicklungen wie die Corona-Pandemie, der Krieg in der Ukraine und der Klimawandel eine Rolle. Viele ökologische Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung sind noch wenig absehbar - aber klar ist, dass die Digitalisierung wie alle gesellschaftlichen Umwälzungen ambivalent ist: Es gibt Gewinner und Verlierer. Besonders mittel- und langfristig stellen sich viele ethische Fragen: Ist die Digitalisierung steuer- und beeinflussbar oder erfolgt sie eigendynamisch und ungesteuert? Braucht es Leitplanken oder ist alles möglich und erlaubt? Führt die Digitalisierung zu einer sozialen Umschichtung? Werden einzelne Gruppen von der Gesellschaft ausgeschlossen (digitale Exklusion)? Und wie steht es mit "Digitalisierungs-Verweigerern"? Das Buch geht diesen Fragen nach, um den Digitalisierungs-Diskurs weiter zu entwickeln und nachhaltig zu machen.Blood Sex Magic: Everyday Magic for the Modern Mystic

Par George Rzevski. 2023
This book describes in an easily accessible way how artificial intelligence (AI) will help us to overcome the ongoing rise…
in complexity and thus shape our lives and work in a not-too-distant future. AI has proven to be the latest tool for resolving issues created by the most recent surge in complexity, and the corollary is: those who delay or ignore AI, will be overwhelmed by complexity. The book starts with a broad description of the coevolution of technology and society that irreversibly leads to the sharp increase in complexity of our socioeconomic environment. The second chapter then covers concepts and principles of the new science of complexity which helps us to understand issues caused by socioeconomic complexity and provides methods for resolving them. Subsequently, a beginner’s guide to artificial intelligence helps readers to glance at fundamentals of this powerful technology capable of resolving issues created by socioeconomic complexity. The danger of allowing intelligent digital systems to make high-risk decisions as well as the consequences of possible misuse of AI for fraud and fake are also discussed. The following chapter explores the concepts of natural and digital ecosystems. Digital transformation of rigidly structured corporations and administrations into adaptive and evolving organisations are illustrated by a number of case studies. Next, the current hectic transition of industrial to digital society is described, its origins identified and outcomes predicted, highlighting issues created by the increase in complexity and showing how to resolve them using thinking tools such as a complexity mindset and digital tools such as artificial intelligence. Eventually, the last two chapters outline the author’s vision of the future digital economy and digital society. This book is accessible to everyone who is curious to glimpse into the future, no previous special knowledge of digital technology is required. Especially decision makers in politics, business, administration, banking, policy making, education, healthcare and defence, and their advisors will benefit from the book, as it will help them to contribute to the creation of the brave new digital world. It may also support investors to recognise which elements of digital technology will play the most important role in the near future.Courage: Overcoming Fear & Igniting Self-Confidence

Par Fred Dust. 2020
A former Senior Partner and Global Managing Director at the legendary design firm IDEO shows how to design conversations and…
meetings that are creative and impactful. Conversations are one of the most fundamental means of communicating we have as humans. At their best, conversations are unconstrained, authentic and open—two or more people sharing thoughts and ideas in a way that bridges our individual experiences, achieves a common goal. At their worst, they foster misunderstanding, frustration and obscure our real intentions.How often do you walk away from a conversation feeling really heard? That it moved the people in it forward in some important way? You’re not alone. In his practice as a designer, Fred Dust began to approach conversations differently. After years of trying to broker communication between colleagues and clients, he came to believe there had to a way to design the art of conversation itself with intention and purpose, but still artful and playful. Making Conversation codifies what he learned and outlines the seven elements essential to successful exchanges: Commitment, Creative Listening, Clarity, Context, Constraints, Change, and Create. Taken together, these seven elements form a set of resources anyone can use to be more deliberate and purposeful in making conversations work.The Money Flow: How to Make Money Your Friend and Ally, Have a Great Life, and Improve the World

Par Rob Jolles. 2018
For some, projecting confidence and credibility is second nature. For others, it seems like a foreign language they'll never learn…
– until now.Rob Jolles delivers down-to-earth solutions for anyone looking to enhance the most basic need of all; to be believed. He leverages his over 30 years of experience to equip readers with empowering and practical tools for achieving business and social success. Jolles argues that credibility is as much about attitude as it is about aptitude. So-called &“soft skills&” like pitch, pace, and tone of voice, are actually some of the most crucial factors in determining how people perceive us. As he puts it, &“it's not the words, it's the tune&” that really makes us memorable and credible. This book is about finding the necessary magic to help others believe you. It requires an unshakable belief in yourself, so Jolles starts there. With that as a solid foundation, you can move on to the specific tactics and practices that will make you credible and convincing. But these can be tough to practice in the face of the inevitable setbacks we all face, so he also offers advice on maintaining courage and confidence when doubt naturally creeps in. And he concludes with a discussion of sustaining your newfound credibility for the long haul. There isn't a soul on earth who hasn't questioned themselves at some point. And most of us are just one or two brutal rejections away from questioning all that we are. Why People Don't Believe You helps readers cultivate a robust mental framework and a set of what Jolles calls &“performance skills&” to tackle these doubts. You are good enough –and after reading this stirring book, you'll be ready to make the world believe that as well.
