Summary, Analysis & Review of Gary Taubes’s The Case Against Sugar by Instaread
 
Preview:
 
The Case Against Sugar argues that sugar is a toxic substance responsible for a wide array of health problems including diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. Author Gary Taubes recounts the history of how sugar came to be cultivated and ultimately refined into the cheap, ubiquitous substance that is eaten globally today. He takes on the American sugar industry for its role in perpetuating faulty science that hid the true dangers of the substance.
 
Sugar—and a lot of it—is contained in most of the foods that Americans eat every day without even realizing it. Seemingly innocuous foodstuffs like flour are combined with sugar to accommodate an American palate that now craves a high baseline level of sweetness. Even items that are not commonly associated with sugar include the substance to enhance their flavor and make them more appealing. The rise of cigarette addiction can be attributed to the addition…

    Who Do You Want Your Customers...

    Who do you want your customers to become? According to MIT innovation expert and thought leader Michael Schrage, if you aren't asking this question, your strategic marketing and innovation efforts will fail. In this latest HBR Single, Schrage provides a powerful new lens for getting more value out of innovation investment. He argues that asking customers to do something different doesn't go far enough-serious marketers and innovators must ask them to become something different instead. Even more, you must invest in their capabilities and competencies to help them become better customers.  Schrage's primary insight is that innovation is an investment in your client, not just a transaction with them. To truly innovate today, designing new products or features or services won't get you there. Only by designing new customers-thinking of their future state, being the conduit to their evolution-will you transform your business. Marketing executives, brand managers, strategic innovators, and entrepreneurs alike should understand how successful innovation rebrands the client and not the product. A requisite question for its time, Who Do You Want Your Customers To Become will liberate you and your team from 'innovation myopia'-and turn your innovation efforts on their head.

    Two leading economists present a new model for sustainable capitalism based on the economics of mutuality. 
 
For decades, leaders in the business world have believed that their sole responsibility is to maximize profit for shareholders. But this obsessive focus was a major cause of the abuses that nearly sunk the global economy in 2008. While books like Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century have exposed the shortcomings of financial capitalism, Completing Capitalism goes further by describing a well-developed, field-tested alternative. 
 
In this analytically rigorous and eminently practical book, Bruno Roche and Jay Jakub offer a more complete form of capitalism, one that delivers superior financial performance precisely because it mobilizes and generates human, social, and natural capital along with financial capital. Offering practical, real-world illustrations, Roche and Jakub describe how their model has been implemented in live business pilots in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere.

    If you're in a job interview, how should you think about the mindset of the interviewer? If you've just been promoted, how do you handle the tensions of managing former peers? And what are the telltale mental signs that it's time to start planning your next career move?We know that psychology can teach us much about behaviors and challenges relevant to work, such as making better decisions, influencing people, and dealing with stress. But many popular books on these topics analyze them as universal human phenomena without providing real-life, constructive career help.Bring Your Brain to Work changes all that. Professor, author, and popular radio host Art Markman focuses on three essential elements of a successful career—getting a job, excelling at work, and finding your next position—and expertly illustrates how cognitive science, especially psychology, sheds fascinating and useful light on each of these elements.Integrating the latest research with engaging stories and examples from across the professional spectrum, Bring Your Brain to Work gets inside your head, helping you to succeed through a better understanding of yourself and those around you.
