Sinopsis

The "Thorstein Veblen Ultimate Collection" presents a comprehensive anthology of the prominent American economist and sociologist's seminal works, blending sharp socioeconomic critique with a distinctive satirical style. Veblen's writings delve into the intricacies of consumer culture, the critique of conspicuous consumption, and the role of social institutions in shaping economic behavior. The literary context of this collection reflects the intellectual milieu of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, wherein Veblen challenged prevailing notions of rational economic man, paving the way for later developments in institutional economics and sociology. Thorstein Veblen, born in 1857 to Norwegian immigrants, was deeply influenced by his experiences of class distinction and cultural dynamics in America. His academic journey led him to institutions like the University of Chicago, where his groundbreaking ideas emerged out of a critique of capitalist society and its inherent contradictions. Veblen's unique perspective as an outsider shaped his commitment to understanding the interplay between social structures and economic practices, making his work particularly relevant in today's discussions about inequality and consumerism. With its incisive analyses and witty prose, the "Thorstein Veblen Ultimate Collection" is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of economic thought and social theory. This collection not only illuminates the complexities of modern society but also encourages readers to critically engage with the forces shaping their own economic realities.

    An entrepreneur’s journey—from his boyhood home far away to the intersection of destiny and innovation.Paul Owhadi set off from his childhood home in Iran to an austere French Jesuit boarding school thousands of miles away—at age four. It was just one stop on a lifelong journey of experiential learning, overcoming obstacles, and determination. With a confidence and curiosity distilled from his powers of observation and developing self-belief, he eventually made his way, after college in England, to New York City with less than $400 in his pocket and not knowing a soul. From there—as a first-generation American—adventure, misadventures, and a life of entrepreneurship awaited.After an education and a career in urban planning and city management, he took the extraordinary opportunity granted to him to explore the world of property development. Despite agonizing personal setbacks, including the tragic death of his business partner, Paul faced adversity with the lessons learned as both an ambitious, innovative immigrant and as a person whose mettle was formed as a child and later young man, far from home, a world away from his birthplace.Eventually, risking all on a new business proposition, Paul created a property and corporate empire that encompassed all he had learned in his entrepreneurship career—lessons of innovation learned from an improbable journey from a childhood a world away to the hard-won pinnacles of success.

    For over 30 years, I’ve been honored to serve some of the best brands in the world as a consultant and strategic advisor. I’ve seen highly respected CEOs, leaders, and managers launch “quality of work life” initiatives. These leaders rightly believed that happy employees were better employees, and they sought changes that would fulfill those conditions. Regrettably, despite high expectations, these programs nearly always failed. The metrics they were designed to improve—productivity, employee engagement, and even company profitability—didn’t budge. 
    My consulting firm, LeaderLogic, LLC has become something of an organizational hazmat team, tasked with cleaning up after yet another ineffective quality of work life initiative. Over time, I’ve formulated powerful solutions that actually work. I’ll share how to avoid common pitfalls and how to leverage new best practices that provide predictable, measurable returns on your happiness initiative. You'll discover the corollary between happy customers, sales growth, and innovation in the furtherance of happy employees. 
    This book contains both deep research and 30 years of practical experience. If applied properly, your organization will achieve the following benefits: 
    • Attract and keep the best talent in your market. 
    • Significant increases in employee productivity and presentism. 
    • Reduced workforce stress and healthcare costs. 
    • Improved returns on enterprise strategy. 
    • Major improvements in customer experience. 
    • Predictable, measurable increases in revenue. 
    • Cost reduction and efficiency. 
    • Predictable improvements and innovation. 
    The Great Resignation was a wake-up call. Today, the best companies must compete for the best employees, and it’s not just about the paycheck, it’s about meaningful work. This book gives your company a roadmap to relevance and competitiveness, to help make "Happy Work" a reality.
