Beschreibung

After over a decade of Bitcoin, which has now moved beyond lore and hype into an increasingly robust star in the firmament of global assets, a new and more important question has arisen. What happens beyond Bitcoin? The answer is decentralised finance - 'DeFi'.

Tech and finance experts Steven Boykey Sidley and Simon Dingle argue that DeFi - which enables all manner of financial transactions to take place directly, person to person, without the involvement of financial institutions - will redesign the cogs and wheels in the engines of trust, and make the remarkable rise of Bitcoin look quaint by comparison. It will disrupt and displace fine and respectable companies, if not entire industries.

Sidley and Dingle explain how DeFi works, introduce the organisations and individuals that comprise the new industry, and identify the likely winners and losers in the coming revolution.

    One-third of our waking lives is spent at work. Work is where we make culture and come into contact with our world. Work is central to God's mission to redeem souls, systems, and structures. And God works through our work to bring hope to the brokenness and fallenness of our surrounding culture.
    The gospel of Jesus Christ is good news for the world, and that includes the transformation of our ordinary work into a sacred calling. Ross Chapman and Ryan Tafilowski show how work is a way to love God, serve our neighbors, and demonstrate the gospel. With a broader understanding of God's work in the world, we are able to engage our daily work as part of how God makes all things new.
    This guide invites you to reflect on the meaning and purpose of your life's work and to transform your work into service to those around you.

    The Will to Conquer: Mastering Power, Strategy, and the Art of War is a manifesto for those who refuse to be ruled. Power is not a privilege granted by fate—it is seized by those with the vision, discipline, and ruthlessness to take it. 
    In this book, A.A. Castor dismantles the myths of fairness, morality, and justice, exposing them for what they truly are: illusions designed to keep the weak in submission. Drawing from the principles of history's greatest strategists—Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Nietzsche, and beyond—The Will to Conquer explores the foundations of dominance, manipulation, and control. 
    This book reveals: 
    ✔ The Laws of Power – How rulers impose their will and eliminate opposition. 
    ✔ The Art of Strategy – Why battles are won before they are fought. 
    ✔ The Psychology of a Ruler – How to think beyond morality and hesitation. 
    ✔ The Mastery of Deception – Why perception is more powerful than reality. 
    ✔ The Will to Power – How to overcome fear, doubt, and self-imposed limitations. 
    Power does not wait for the patient, nor does it reward those who seek validation. It belongs to those who demand it. If you are ready to break free from the illusions of the weak and forge your own destiny, this book will show you the way. 
    "There is no universal law—only the law of those strong enough to impose it."

    What if I were to tell you the conventional career intelligence publicly available surrounding careers in construction has mostly held you back? 
    This is the case for a few reasons. First, it’s incomplete and missing context. Second, it doesn’t provide a holistic approach to career development. And third, it’s missing all the internal work that’s first required to achieve career success, because we live from the inside out. 
    You could spend years accruing bits and pieces of career intelligence for the construction industry, and that’s what it has taken me. I will fast-track that for you, by guiding, inspiring, and directing you to achieve more recognition, higher compensation and faster career progression. 
    Are you ready to start construction on the greatest project you'll ever work on?

Sell It Like a Mango shares practical, easy-to-implement principles, tools, and techniques to build value and convert prospects into loyal fans. Transform your sales mindset and close more deals as you learn to:Recognize misconceptions about selling that are holding you backFind your “why” to keep you motivatedDitch phony sales tactics for authentic onesOvercome the fear of rejection and leverage adversity to your advantageIdentify opportunities and act on themPinpoint, attract, and convert the right prospects—and keep them saying “yes” throughout the entire sales processAnd much more! 
    With these strategies, you can sell any product or service like a mango—because it’s not the product or service that makes the difference; it’s the seller.
