Summary

In 'A Lucky Deal; or The 'Cutest Boy in Wall Street', Self-made Man crafts a compelling narrative that intertwines ambition and morality against the backdrop of the fast-paced financial world. Through a keenly satirical lens, the author explores themes of entrepreneurship, ethical dilemmas, and the seductive nature of wealth. The prose is both engaging and accessible, filled with vivid dialogue and sharp wit, allowing readers to navigate the complexities of Wall Street's culture. This novel captures the zeitgeist of an era defined by excess and ambition, illuminating the intrinsic conflicts faced by those who seek prosperity at potentially great personal cost. Self-made Man, a pseudonymous author known for his profound insights into American economic life, draws inspiration from his own experiences as an entrepreneur. His keen observations of Wall Street's underbelly, combined with a visionary perspective on self-reinvention, led him to create a narrative that resonates with both humor and poignancy. His previous works have established him as a formidable voice addressing the intricacies of success and societal expectations. 'A Lucky Deal' is a must-read for anyone interested in the dynamics of ambition and morality in the modern age. It invites readers to reflect on their own definitions of success and the price they are willing to pay for it. This thought-provoking tale provides not only entertainment but also valuable insights into the human condition.

    One night, following a painful divorce, Len Jessup hit what he calls the “the lowest moment” of his life. He would go on to credit this moment as the start of his journey to selflessness. In Self Less, you’ll follow Len’s story of emotional vulnerability. Blending personal narrative with research, Jessup argues selfless leaders can maximize impact by guiding teams, not controlling them. He stresses the power of constant learning, surrounding yourself with people far smarter than you, and service to others. For leaders seeking to create meaningful change through personal growth, Jessup provides inspiration along with practical advice on inclusive leadership and securing stakeholder buy-in. Self Less offers a roadmap to lead change through humility, kindness, and care for employees and partners.

    As a leader, you work hard at crafting effective messages. You aim to influence, persuade, present. You have a voice, you have a platform… but is anyone listening? 
    The reality is that the people you’re talking to are distracted. They’re listening at a rate of 125–250 words per minute, but they’re thinking at 1,000–3,000 words per minute. That gap means they’re likely to miss 75% of what you say. 
    And guess what? It’s the same when it’s your turn to listen. What are you missing? At the very least, if your people don’t feel heard or understood by managers and leaders, trust is eroded, frustration increases and engagement is reduced. 
    You need to listen and be heard…but most of us have never learned how. 
    The Listening Shift will show you how to be a listening leader. Find out: why listening matters how to engage people across your organisation by listening how to have listening conversations – collaborative, connecting and inclusive how to help others listen to you.

    The thrilling history of the extraction and economic control of the world's major minerals – from Antiquity to the present day: gold, copper, iron, lithium, rare earths, and more.
    Why should you read this book? Mining is on the verge of regaining a central role on the global stage. As the world gradually shifts toward deglobalization and an indirect confrontation between the United States and China – while countries like Russia and India seek to assert their influence in this emerging multipolar landscape – mineral extraction is becoming ever more strategic. Meanwhile, humanity, faced with the grave threat of climate change, is undergoing an energy transition that demands (and will continue to demand) more metals than ever before. To understand the relevance of mining today, we must revisit its past. History reveals the crucial role that metals and mines have played in shaping nations' destinies – closely monitored, even in recent times like the Cold War, by governments and powerful corporations alike.
    From the jungles of the Congo to the glaciers of the Canadian Arctic, from the California Gold Rush to high-altitude excavations in Argentina, and the tale of Spanish tungsten during the Third Reich, Underground is a gripping guided tour through an ancient yet largely misunderstood industry – often reduced to caricatures and oversimplifications in public discourse.
    "Brilliant. Essential to understanding the relevance of mining today." Alberto Lavandeira, CEO of Atalaya Mining
