  In the United States, only a few thousand individuals in power  make decisions that shape the lives of 300 million people. Elites  in government, business, the arts, and mass media direct policy and  set the terms of national debates. Yet what do we really know about  these individuals and the social worlds they inhabit? This book  reports the results of a seven-year research project focused on  interviewing 550 senior American leaders for the Platinum Study,  the largest of its kind. The book explores dozens of unexpected  results about the domains of the powerful,  The path into this elite ecosystem is not the same for everyone,  but the men and women in this book are exemplars of the  useand the misuseof power. Learning from their  stories not only teaches readers about influence at the top, but  also how we can access and apply power in our own lives, day in and  day out. Some of the lessons include:    Being born into wealth is a poor predictor of leadership  success.      There is no dream team of one. Almost every book about  power focuses on the traits of individual leaders, but it is the  institutions they lead that change human history. The most  important trait of a leader is her ability to think  institutionally.   You dont have to be an S.O.B. to be the CEO.  Leading others is significantly easier when followers enjoy being  around the leader, and interpersonally gifted people are at a  significant advantage in power.  A leaders best work never sees the light of day.  Great leaders spend a significant amount of time keeping bad things  from becoming public or working on opportunities that never  materialize. As a result, most of their work takes place behind  closed doors, and because outsiders dont know the full  story, those in power get most of the blame and, often, little of  the credit.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Healthcare is one of the most essential pillars of modern society, yet it remains one of the most controversial and deeply flawed systems worldwide. While medical advancements have saved countless lives, the way healthcare is structured and delivered often leaves patients struggling with high costs, limited access, and inconsistent quality of care. The system, which is supposed to heal and protect, frequently feels more like a business prioritizing profit over people.  
    
  Across the globe, healthcare models vary significantly. Some countries provide universal healthcare, ensuring that all citizens have access to medical services without financial hardship. Others rely on privatized, insurance-based systems that leave many individuals burdened with medical debt or forced to forgo necessary treatments. Regardless of the model, most systems share a common problem—inefficiencies, corruption, and a lack of patient-centered care.  
    
  One of the most alarming aspects of modern healthcare is its commercialization. In many nations, medical treatment has become a commodity rather than a fundamental human right. Pharmaceutical companies, insurance providers, and hospital networks have turned healthcare into a multi-trillion-dollar industry, often at the expense of those who need it most. Prescription drug prices skyrocket without justification, insurance policies are riddled with loopholes designed to deny coverage, and hospitals charge exorbitant fees for basic services. Instead of prioritizing patient well-being, financial incentives drive medical decisions, sometimes leading to unnecessary procedures, overprescription of medications, and inequitable access to care.

  2022 Genesis Prize Laureate 
  The exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes story of how Pfizer raced to create the first Covid-19 vaccine, told by Pfizer’s Chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla. 
  A riveting, fast-paced, inside look at one of the most incredible private sector achievements in history, Moonshot recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, made “the impossible possible”—creating, testing, and manufacturing a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine that previously would have taken years to develop.  
  Dr. Bourla chronicles how the brilliant, dedicated minds at Pfizer, under the enormous strains of the global pandemic, overcame a series of crises that were compounded by social and political unrest, and reveals the doubts, decisions, obstacles, and failures they encountered. As Dr. Bourla makes clear, Pfizer’s success wasn’t due to luck; it was because of preparation driven by four simple values—Courage, Excellence, Equity, and Joy. 
  Moonshot is a story of leadership under the most unprecedented circumstances—how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant, a child of Holocaust survivors, and a veterinarian, became the head of one of the world’s largest corporations and initiated a dramatic transformation of the organization just before a global health crisis would serve to test the organization, its scientists, and its leader, like never before. Moonshot describes best practices that can be used to address the multiple, unprecedented challenges our world faces, reveals Pfizer’s implementation of scientific breakthroughs at a record-breaking pace, and offers leadership lessons that can help anyone successfully manage their own seemingly unsolvable problems. As Dr. Bourla explains, “I am sharing the story of our moonshot—the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the core values that allowed us to make it happen—in hopes that it might inspire and inform your own moonshot, whatever that may be.”
