  In Step into the Metaverse, Dr. Mark van Rijmenam delivers a startlingly insightful discussion about how the world as we know it will fundamentally change as the physical and the digital worlds merge into the metaverse, impacting the everyday experiences of people, companies, and societies. The author maps out the extraordinary opportunities and challenges facing business leaders, consumers, regulators, policymakers, and other metaverse stakeholders trying to navigate the future of the Internet. 
   
   
   
  In the metaverse, you can be who you want to be, where you want to be, and companies and consumers are only restricted by their own creativity how they can benefit from the immersive internet. With engaging commentary on issues ranging from avatars, identity, and digital fashion to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), blockchain, and the economics of the metaverse, this book also offers: discussions on the importance of an open and interoperable metaverse build on the web 3.0 paradigm if we want to reign in the control of Big Tech over our identity, data, and lives; explorations of the enormous—and largely untapped—potential for metaverse entertainment; and considerations related to the dangers of an always-on, immersive internet, including data breaches, avatar imposters, mental health issues, corporate and state surveillance, and the need for metaverse law.

There is a radical third path open to you: You can buy a small business and run it as CEO. Purchasing a small company offers significant financial rewards—as well as personal and professional fulfillment.

  But finding the right business to buy and closing the deal isn't always easy. In the HBR Guide to Buying a Small Business, Harvard Business School professors Richard Ruback and Royce Yudkoff help you determine if this path is right for you; raise capital for your acquisition; find and evaluate the right prospects; avoid the pitfalls that could derail your search; understand why a "dull" business might be the best investment; negotiate a potential deal with the seller; and avoid deals that fall through at the last minute.

  In her book Elevating Women Who Lead: Strategies for Being, Becoming and Overcoming, Dr. Tracee Perryman discusses the strategies that individuals can use to tune out negative influences and focus on their leadership goals.As the author states:“I am writing this book because I believe we need a robust, strong group of women who affirm our PERMISSION to be who we are, define what we want, and achieve what we want. I believe we need a network of women who affirm our permission to acknowledge, accept, and fulfill the calls that each of us is uniquely gifted to achieve. We all have a contribution to make to this world, and it is time we enjoy the journey. Giving ourselves PERMISSION to exist and excel helps us enjoy our journeys.”Dr. Perryman emphasizes the importance of developing inner strengths and strategies, seeking out positive influences, as well as prioritizing self-care in order to stay focused on one's leadership goals. The road to leadership is not an easy one, and women will always encounter opposition and negativity. However, by cultivating a sense of purpose, surrounding oneself with positive influences, and taking care of oneself, it’s possible to tune out distractions and focus on achieving their leadership goals.

  Most of us spend a third of our waking lives at work. Work shapes our schedules, relationships, identities, and economies—but is it actually making us happy? This crucial question is explored in depth by leading Oxford researchers Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and George Ward, who provide the richest, most comprehensive picture of workplace wellbeing yet. 
   
   
   
  In Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters, the authors clarify what workplace wellbeing is (and is not) and offer a framework for how businesses can approach and improve it. Drawing on extensive large-scale data—including the world's largest data set on employee wellbeing, gathered in partnership with the jobs platform Indeed—the book reveals the remarkable ways in which wellbeing at work varies across workers, occupations, companies, and industries. 
   
   
   
  The authors present new, evidence-based insights into the origins of workplace wellbeing and how businesses can enhance the employee experience. Integrating work from multiple academic disciplines, they show that workplace wellbeing encompasses both how we think about our work as a whole and how we feel while doing it. Their research demonstrates that improving wellbeing can boost productivity, aid in talent retention and recruitment, and ultimately improve financial performance.
