    Niall Ferguson tells the human story behind the step-by-step evolution of the financial system in The Ascent of Money (2009). Starting from ancient Mesopotamia, to the ongoing struggles that people face with money today, he explains the building blocks that made money the way we know it. Ferguson argues that credit and debt were as crucial for the rise of civilization as any other technological innovation. Many of the financial crises that people are undergoing today are a product of history repeating itself, and it is through understanding our own financial history that will we be able to know how to truly avoid it.

    Get on the express for first impression. Know how to charm and connect with people upon meeting them, and create a lasting impression.  
     
    Do you get butterflies in your stomach whenever you enter a room full of people? Do you become nervous with the thought of having to engage with a fellow stranger? Do you sweat like a pig at any attempt of connecting with others?  
     
    Don't worry, you're not alone! This is all too common. It's normal that we all want to make a good first impression upon other people. Why? Because the first impression is the last impression you'll get in determining whether you make a new friend, attract a business partner, land a prospective client, etc.  
     
    But why are we so afraid of this all-dreaded first impression, and with getting it right? It's because of the fear of failure in messing it up. Nobody likes to be humiliated and feel embarrassed in the presence of others with the risk of being rejected, being as painful as inflicted physical pain.  
     
    Don't blame yourself for this; it's not your fault you feel these kinds of emotions. We are biologically fearful of being ostracized from a group because of the lesser chance of survival back in ancestral days being the one-man tribe. That's why we need to connect with others, but at the same time are fearful to do so.  
     
    Good news is, if you aren't the most attractive person or know how to make a good impression right now, you can easily learn to charm the living daylight out of anybody and get people to like you upon meeting them to make a positive lasting impression that will linger within their minds long after the interaction is over using common cues and simple strategies.

    “A compact, insightful, and practical guide for leaders and managers to flourish in our coming Exponential Age”—Azeem Azhar, founder, Exponential ViewIn 1798, the influential cleric, scholar, and economist Thomas Malthus predicted that the world would soon run out of food, as linear food production growth would be unable to feed the exponentially growing population. Fast forward 200 years, and the world's population has grown almost 10 times, and we are closer to colonizing Mars than we ever will be of running out of food.The reason? Innovation.Innovation driven by mass digitization and the convergence of exponentially growing technologies. We know that exponential laws often follow predictable patterns, and this allows us to predict when futuristic applications will become possible and economically feasible.In From Malthus to Mars, Nicolai Chen Nielsen and Lars Tvede outline the wild future that we are speeding into. Wild, among other things, in terms of anti-ageing, compact farming, robotics, radically new energy solutions, and a fast, fluid, and flexible world of work. The authors map concrete forecasts for when upcoming technologies will break through and change our world, and they paint a picture of what the future in the coming years will look like.We will learn that while the future is destined to bring a multitude of new opportunities and enhanced abundance, it will also bring increased demands for us as individuals and as organizations. To equip us to thrive in the future, Nielsen and Tvede outline eight key mindsets. These mindsets will help us navigate future trends, reach our most desired future, and give us the ability, as we understand trends, to apply exponentiality and make decisions under uncertainty. The authors also present ten shifts that winning organizations of the future must consider in order to transform themselves and their industries, again and again.Between them, Nielsen and Tvede have founded/co-founded 13 companies, advised more than 30 Fortune 500 companies, developed thousands of leaders, and published 20 books.
