  When you turn a crisis or even a trauma into a learning moment, it will turn fear into courage and then determination. This leadership roadmap shows you the way to successfully navigating through crisis or trauma and coming out stronger on the other side. 
  Organizational trauma takes many forms. It could be a pandemic that disrupts the way people work. An economic meltdown. An act of violence. A failed merger. A layoff—or continual threats of one. Whatever the scenario, events like these can traumatize leaders and employees, sending everyone into survival mode.

  The Business Blockchain -...

  The definitive pioneering blueprint covering the what, why, and how of the blockchain Blockchains are new technology layers that rewire the Internet and threaten to side-step older legacy constructs and centrally served businesses. At its core, a blockchain injects trust into the network, cutting off some intermediaries from serving that function and disrupting how they operate. Metaphorically, blockchains are the ultimate non-stop computers. Once launched, they never go down, and offer an incredible amount of resiliency. The Business Blockchain charts new territory in advancing our understanding of the blockchain by unpacking its elements like no other before. William Mougayar anticipates a future that consists of thousands, if not millions of blockchains that will enable not only frictionless value exchange, but also a new flow of value, redefining roles, relationships, power, and governance. In this book, Mougayar makes two other strategic assertions. First, the blockchain has polymorphic characteristics; its application will result in a multiplicity of effects. Second, we shouldn't ask what problems the blockchain solves, because that gives us a narrow view on its potential. Rather, we should imagine new opportunities, and tackle even more ambitious problems that cross organizational, regulatory, and mental boundaries.

  Real Estate Investing for Beginners

  Real estate investing can be very satisfying. It gives you the opportunity to work for yourself and independently make money on a consistent basis.  
  It can also give you financial freedom and peace of mind, because you can work whenever you feel like it. You will never have to clock in or deal with office politics. You are not held responsible by your boss, because you are the boss. 
  However, real estate does require work and the competition is fierce. Nowadays, with information so freely available on the internet and in books, many people do not want to climb the corporate ladder. 
  And who blames them. No one feels like working 30-40 years for companies with only 2 weeks of paid time off, barely making enough money to live off, invest for your future and put a roof over you or your family’s head. 
  The new trend is to retire early and enjoy a somewhat stress free life. Real estate can truly fulfill this promise.

  A history of coffee from the sixth century to Starbucks that’s “good to the last sentence” (Las Cruces Sun News).   One of Library Journal’s “Best Business Books”   This updated edition of The Coffee Book is jammed full of facts, figures, cartoons, and commentary covering coffee from its first use in Ethiopia in the sixth century to the rise of Starbucks and the emergence of Fair Trade coffee in the twenty-first. The book explores the process of cultivation, harvesting, and roasting from bean to cup; surveys the social history of café society from the first coffeehouses in Constantinople to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village; and tells the dramatic tale of high-stakes international trade and speculation for a product that can make or break entire national economies. It also examines the industry’s major players, revealing the damage that’s been done to farmers, laborers, and the environment by mass cultivation—and explores the growing “conscious coffee” market.   “Drawing on sources ranging from Molière and beatnik cartoonists to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the authors describe the beverage’s long and colorful rise to ubiquity.” —The Economist   “Most stimulating.” —The Baltimore Sun
