It explores one of the great ironies of our time: the internet, which was going to help the left remake the world in its image, has become the motive force of right populism.

    This radical and rigorous rethinking of the traditional MBA program combines solid business principles with a commitment to environmental and social justice. 
     
    Many current and aspiring entrepreneurs are looking for a solid business education that also deeply aligns with their progressive values. Based on a course field-tested with over 500 students, this book fills that gap. It covers traditional topics such as business strategy and structure, finance, marketing, recruiting, and branding from a socially just and environmentally regenerative perspective. And it also touches on topics such as strategies to reverse climate change, nonviolent communication, self-managing organizations, locally self-reliant economies, racial justice, and more.  
     
    Traditional MBA programs are based on outdated principles that were developed during the Industrial Revolution-and they can be hugely expensive. Sustainable MBA programs, while laudable, are too incremental to make a sufficient impact. The Next Economy MBA is for entrepreneurs seeking to make business an active force for good. It draws on the authors' experience of working with over 300 social enterprises, from small organizations like Winona's Hemp and Heritage Farm to household names like Ben & Jerry's and Patagonia. 
     
    Our current economy, what the authors call the "Business as Usual Economy," has created a massive wealth gap, a climate crisis, racial division, and needless housing, food, and healthcare shortages. This book shows how businesses can pave the way to a Next Economy that meets the basic needs of all people and restores and protects the planetary ecosystem.

    Read by the author, Dr Sam Carr.'Empathetic, enlightening, deeply human' - Michael Harris, author of SolitudeAn intimate portrait of loneliness, All the Lonely People sees psychologist Dr Sam Carr collect hours of conversations with people young and old, including single parents, carers, teenagers and the bereaved – all shared over countless cups of tea.In stories of love and loss, of trauma and hope, told from care homes, living rooms, classrooms and kitchens, Carr discovers that while each of their stories is utterly unique, they are all born out of the same desire for human connection.As Carr interweaves these touching and powerful tales with his own personal narrative, he opens a window onto the inner lives of regular people – the forgotten, misplaced or misjudged – who all feel isolated in some way.Sparking a profound conversation about a universal emotion, which may simply be an inevitable part of life in an increasingly disjointed world, he questions what we can do to build stronger human relationships, and to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

    Kindheartedness - The Warm...

    Kindheartedness is the quality of being compassionate, gentle, and considerate toward others, often displayed through acts of generosity and understanding. At its core, it involves recognizing the humanity in others and approaching the world with an open heart. When we choose to live with a kind heart, we invite warmth, connection, and healing into our lives. But understanding true kindheartedness goes beyond simply being nice or polite. It requires a deep sense of empathy and the ability to relate to the experiences, struggles, and joys of those around us. 
    The essence of kindness lies in how we treat others, especially when they least expect it or when they are vulnerable. It’s about offering a listening ear, a helping hand, or even a simple smile. However, kindness isn’t always easy, especially when we face personal challenges or interact with people who may not always treat us kindly. It’s in these moments that the true strength of kindheartedness is revealed. The choice to act with compassion, even in the face of adversity, is what sets kindness apart from mere politeness or conformity. 
    Kindheartedness also involves understanding that people’s actions are often shaped by their own experiences, fears, and pain. It’s about looking beyond the surface and seeing the deeper reasons behind people’s behavior. This doesn’t mean excusing harmful actions, but it does encourage us to respond with a sense of understanding and patience rather than judgment. When we approach others with an open heart, we create space for healing and growth—for both them and ourselves.

    Not a memoir, not a manual, not history, and not fiction: this is a scroll. A lived document that uncoils across frostbitten steppe and borderland camps, where drills turn, deals twist, and dignity is held together with duct tape and vodka-stained humor. 
    From Ukraine to Sakhalin, from mud-choked rigs to government saunas, these field-earned ledgers reveal how people survive, adapt, and build in places where permits arrive after the pipelines are already pumping. Some of it reads like farce, some like heartbreak, much like both at once. 
    A generator resurrected with foil and candlelight becomes a choir, a pickup patched with tape and faith passes inspection, and a nation under strain shows a resilience that still shakes the world today. 
    This is not a sober account, but it is an honest one: a record of compromises, improvisations, and grit at the edge of empire, remembering what the spreadsheets never could.

    After disastrous experiences in law and education, Jake Kazmareck tries to disappear into a menial job picking melons on a farm in the Rio Grande Valley. 
    An estranged friend tracks him down, however, with news that their mutual bosom buddy is not dead but rotting in a Mexican prison. The stage is set for his rescue. 
    Jake, Connors McClain, and Artie Cavazos’s friendship was forged during an almost fatal canoe trip in which only Artie’s genius for survival kept them alive. Their brush with death, however, unleashed in Jake a primitive beast that has never stopped plaguing him. 
    A few years later, the three engage in an attempt to rescue Artie’s uncle and family from the Mexican drug cartel that had forced his uncle to work for them. Jake mistakenly attributes their failure, and Artie’s death, to Connors’s betrayal. 
    When Connors later contacts Jake, he shares some startling news. Connors, now the Texas attorney general, has discovered that Artie is still alive and imprisoned in a Mexican jail. 
    The harrowing rescue is successful, but Artie’s experiences have effectively destroyed his spirit. Jake and Connors now reconciled, they enlist the aid of psychiatrist Judith Neuwirth to try to piece back together Artie’s shattered self. 
    In the process, Jake is again confronted with the beast in himself. Will he learn to accommodate it, or will it destroy him? Is it an essential part of us that must be accepted? Or must it be fought to the death?
