(法) 奥利维耶·西博尼 著;贾拥民 译 中国财政经济出版社本书作者奥利维耶·西博尼多年来一直致力于提升决策品质,他曾在麦肯锡咨询公司担任决策顾问长达25年。他发现,很多公司的商业决策乃至战略决策竟然都是错误的。在有大量的“前车之鉴”,且数据证据表明这些决策大概率会导致失败,甚至会带来灾难性后果的情况下,很多决策者依然会重蹈覆辙。认知心理学方面的研究发现,这些决策错误是由认知偏差导致的,会让决策者误入歧途,掉进决策陷阱。
因此,在这本书中,西博尼利用数十个引人入胜的案例,展示了认知偏差如何经常导致我们所有人陷入9个常见的决策陷阱的,甚至包括那些知名商业巨头。并将常见的认知偏差按照逻辑归为5种更容易记住的类别。
西博尼认为,避免认知偏差陷阱的好方法是在你的组织中构建一个有效的决策架构,而不是重复使用那些让管理者一次又一次失败的老“去偏见”技术。这是一套利用集体智慧帮助决策者做出决策的技术和流程体系,并提供了3大类共40种具体的决策技巧。这是从行为经济学和认知心理学的发展中提炼出的可操作的工具,可以帮你做出有效决策。

历史
帝国定型 :美国的1890-1900徐弃郁 著 广西师范大学出版社
1890年的美国,正面临内忧外患的局面,红利吃尽、产能过剩、老牌列强林立、国内利益集团垄断……然而,这也正是美国崛起关键十年的开始。但与以往任何国家都不同,美国走上了一种新型帝国之路:它不直接掠夺海外领土,而是以强大的生产和贸易能力控制世界。用一句话归纳,美国作为一个国家是有边界的,作为帝国则是无边界的;这种帝国发展的逻辑不是通常理解的国家逻辑,而是无孔不入的资本逻辑。
全书以1890-1900年的美国为论述对象,从这一案例中提取出“超大国家的崛起与扩张”背后的原因,力图揭示历史与现实之间的深层互动关系。

科学
现在 :时间的物理学(美) 理查德·A.穆勒 著;徐彬 译 湖南科学技术出版社
“现在”的概念看似简单,实则玄之又玄,难以捉摸。
爱因斯坦指出,时间的流动会受到速度和引力这两者的影响,但他本人也无力解释“现在”的含义,并为此而灰心。同样令人困惑的是:时间为什么会流动?一些物理学家干脆放弃理解“现在”的尝试,把时间的流动称为一种幻觉。但是,著名的实验物理学家理查德·A·穆勒对此表示反对。他说物理学应该解释实在,而不是否认实在性。
穆勒指出,标准的大爆炸理论将宇宙的不断膨胀解释为不断创造新的空间。他认为,时间也在扩张,而新生成时间的前沿就是我们所经历的“现在”。这一发人深省的观点对我们的一些重大问题有着无比重要的启示——不仅在物理学领域,而且在哲学领域,包括正在进行的关于自由意志实在性的辩论。殊为重要的是,他的理论是可检验的。穆勒的著作将引发关于我们对于宇宙最基本假设的大讨论,并可能解开物理学中最长久的谜团之一。

Disorder :hard times in the 21st centuryby Helen Thompson Oxford University Press
Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century is a long history of this present political moment. It recounts three histories - one about geopolitics, one about the world economy, and one about western democracies - and explains how in the years of political disorder prior to the pandemic the disruption in each became one big story. It shows how much of this turbulence originated in problems generated by fossil-fuel energies, and it explains why as the green transition takes place the long-standing predicaments energy invariably shapes will remain in place.

Making numbers count :the art and science of communicating numbersby Chip Heath Avid Reader Press
A clear, practical, first-of-its-kind guide to communicating and understanding numbers and data - from bestselling business author Chip Heath.
Understanding numbers is essential - but humans aren’t built to understand them. Until very recently, most languages had no words for numbers greater than five - anything from six to infinity was known as “lots.” While the numbers in our world have gotten increasingly complex, our brains are stuck in the past. How can we translate millions and billions and milliseconds and nanometers into things we can comprehend and use?
Author Chip Heath has excelled at teaching others about making ideas stick and here, in Making Numbers Count, he outlines specific principles that reveal how to translate a number into our brain’s language. This book is filled with examples of extreme number makeovers, vivid before-and-after examples that take a dry number and present it in a way that people click in and say “Wow, now I get it!”

经济发展理论 :对于利润、资本、信贷、利息和经济周期的考察(美) 约瑟夫·熊彼特 著;何畏,易家祥等 译 商务印书馆约瑟夫·阿洛伊斯·熊彼特(1883-1950年),美籍奥地利人,是当代西方著名经济学家。《经济发展理论》一书是他早期成名之作。熊彼特在这本著作里首先提出的“创新理论”(Innovation Theory),当时曾轰动西方经济学界,并且一直享有盛名。此书最先以德文发表于1912年,修订再版于1926年,越数年又重印了德文第三版。1934年,以德文修订本为依据的英译本,由美国哈佛大学出版社出版,被列为《哈佛经济丛书》第46卷。现在的中译本,据此英译本译出。
本书中,熊彼特涉猎广泛,探讨了利润、资本、信贷、利息和经济周期等重要的经济问题。而其中,最重要的是他以“创新理论”解释了资本主义的本质特征,从而闻名于资产阶级经济学界,影响颇大。因而全书最核心和最大的篇幅也是关于创新理论及其应用。全书分六章展开。第一章和第二章对从静止状态的“循环流转”到经济发展的根本现象,包括从“企业家”的特点和功能、“生产要素的新组合”、“创新”的涵义和作用,直到资本主义的产生进行了开创性的论述。第三章、第四章和第五章则进一步分别阐述了信贷与资本、企业家利润以及资本的利息等问题。第六章运用“创新理论”分析了经济周期的形成和特点。

失控的野心 :德国支付巨头Wirecard的兴衰与启迪(德) 菲利克斯·霍尔特曼 著;江剑琴 译 中国友谊出版公司
德国支付服务商Wirecard,从一家名不见经传的金融初创公司发展为国际科技巨头。20多年间业绩一直保持巨额增长,将德国商业银行赶出DAX指数,市值甚至超过了德意志银行。然而2020年6月, Wirecard深陷财务丑闻,占资产负债表总额1/4的19亿欧元“不翼而飞”。随即企业宣告破产,一度高达240亿欧元的市值荡然无存。CEO马库斯·布劳恩被捕,COO扬·马萨利克逃逸。其他高管竞相逃跑甚至离奇死亡,情报机构也卷入其中。
Wirecard事件是德国“二战”后最大的经济丑闻。助推其走向毁灭的,不仅是企业决策者对金钱、规模和权力的失控野心,还有利益相关方的沉默与侥幸心理。作者在本书中细致追踪了Wirecard的兴衰历程,揭露了技术崇拜的弊端、投资者的贪婪以及德国金融体系的腐败,为德国乃至世界敲响了警钟。

(美) 布赖恩·杜梅因 著;陈默 译 中信出版集团
作者深入采访了150多位亚马逊内外的相关人士,包括亚马逊高管、前员工、合作伙伴等,试图挖掘出亚马逊取得成功的根本原因。什么是贝佐斯经济学?为什么它会奏效?从战略布局、商业模式和企业文化入手,这本书深度剖析了亚马逊决胜商业世界的管理原则。
贝佐斯经济学建立在“三大管理原则”之上:客户至上、极致创新和长期主义。亚马逊自创立之日起,近30年来坚定地贯彻执行这三大原则,而且所有这些都得到人工智能的加持,使得亚马逊的业务形成一个良性运转的飞轮,飞轮越转越快,亚马逊的核心商业模式由此建立起来。
近年来,亚马逊的商业帝国不断扩张,除了我们熟知的零售电商外,其触角还伸向了云计算、媒体、广告、医疗,甚至金融领域。对一些人来说,贝佐斯经济学是一座金矿;对另一些人来说,贝佐斯经济学却是致命的威胁。亚马逊的影响力如此之大,几乎每一个行业的从业者都有必要了解并学习它的运作模式,从而找到应对其挑战的方式。

韧性时代 :重新思考人类的发展和进化(美) 杰里米·里夫金 著;郑挺颖,阮南捷 译 中信出版集团
《第三次工业革命》《零边际成本社会》作者,知名未来学家杰里米·里夫金重磅新作!
病毒不断涌现,气候逐步变暖,混乱程度正在不断加剧。追求效率、进步,曾经被认为是神圣不可侵犯的,现在正处于濒死边缘。一个强大的新叙事,即韧性时代,正在兴起。
在进步时代,效率是组织时间的黄金标准,刺激我们以更快的速度甚至更短的时间实现对地球资源的征用和商品化,目标是增加人类社会的财富。空间成为自然资源消耗的代名词,而政府和社会的主要作用是将自然作为财产进行管理。这使人类成为地球的主宰,但同时也导向了自然世界的毁灭。
在新的时代,效率开始让位于个体的适应性,人类社会将从偏好增长转向生态繁荣,从金融资本转向生态资本,从生产力转向可再生性,从过度消费转向生态管理,从全球化转向全球本士化。未来的人们将更加深刻地理解自己与自然的共生关系,我们每个人实际上都是一个由微生物和各种元素组成的生态系统。支持进步时代的陈旧的科学方法也被淘汰,让位于一种称为复杂自适应系统思维的新科学方法。同样,超然的理性正在失去声望,而同理心和亲生命意识成为常态。
在我们对未来感到迷茫的重要时刻,《韧性时代》为我们打开了一个充满希望的新世界,帮助我们重新思考人类的发展与进化。

中国思想 :从孔夫子到庖丁(英) 胡思德 著;郭舒佼 译;刘梁剑 校 上海文艺出版社
剑桥大学著名汉学家胡司德教授写给大家的中国思想与文化史。
在这本富有启发性的书中,胡司德教授带领我们穿越几个世纪的中国历史,从先秦的孔子、道家、法家和民间信仰,到汉代的史学、哲学与自然科学著述,以及它们对后世的深远影响。困扰着中国最聪明头脑的重大问题,不是关于我们是谁和我们是什么,而是关于我们应该如何生活,如何组织社会,以及如何确保与我们生活在一起的人和我们为之承担责任的人的福祉。通过从中国古代哲学、文学、法律文件和日常生活中广泛地援引例子,作者向我们展示了中国古代的思想如何深刻而全方面地影响了当代世界。
游世与自然生活 :庄子评传颜世安 著 湖南人民出版社庄子是战国中期伟大的思想家,他所关心的许多问题仍存在于当代,他的思考仍启迪着今人。
颜世安教授以隐者传统和道家思想为背景,以郭象所注三十三篇本《庄子》为依据,博采庄子研究众家之长,从全新角度解说庄子,阐释了庄子的游世思想和道论。
颜世安教授认为,庄子深刻理解人生天地间的孤弱与卑微,并不相信像隐士一样归隐田园、寄情山水能够解决问题,因此独倡游世,表面上随遇而安、躺平任嘲,内心却冷眼旁观、傲守孤独。揭开嬉笑怒骂的面具,庄子试图剥离世俗对人心的蒙蔽,解除人们根深蒂固的自我中心习性,从“为我”走向“无我”,还原生命的清新面貌。

赤道非洲残酷血腥的全球化进程
本书通过三位最早进入非洲腹地的著名冒险家的旅程,展现了欧美殖民者对赤道非洲地区残酷掠夺的历史。外部力量的介入,使赤道非洲原有的社会结构和政治制度(雨林分权统治)分崩离析,代之以殖民酋长制度、自治邦等殖民统治方式,殖民者以科学和人道主义的名义,利用贸易、欺骗等手段对原住民进行了极为残酷的剥削。全球化使西方国家完成了资本的原始积累,却使赤道非洲变得面目全非。迄今这一区域仍然是全球最贫穷、最混乱的地方之一,还在饱受内战、恐怖主义、极端贫困和海盗的困扰。

战争与沉迷 :梦想、诱惑与二战中的漫长黑夜(加) 马尔科姆·格拉德威尔 著;肖青芝 译 中信出版社《异类》《引爆点》作者格拉德威尔全新作品
二战期间,一小队被称为“轰炸机黑手党”的乌托邦空军战略家试图通过精确轰炸赢得大战,在充分研究了全新技术设备诺登投弹瞄准器后,他们认定在白天实施只针对敌方特定重要基础设施的轰炸会起作用。然而事与愿违,数次行动失败后,战局失控。随后军方高层下令更换指挥官,新指挥官李梅实施了与前任指挥官汉塞尔截然相反的区域轰炸战略,在凝固汽油弹的帮助下,李梅共轰炸了日本的67座城市,但由于轰炸造成的伤亡惨重,李梅的行为引起极大争议。
这是一个关于理想主义、实用主义、技术创新和不可估量的战争代价的故事。在书中,格拉德威尔肯定了李梅的贡献,其方式虽然粗暴,但缩短了战争的时间,在某种程度上可谓避免了更大的代价,让所有人最快地重新获得和平与繁荣。以汉塞尔为代表的“轰炸机黑手党”虽未获得成功,但格拉德威尔用大量篇幅描述并称赞了其对梦想、创新和科技的坚持,将其视为道德典范。没有坚持,原则便没有意义。汉塞尔是一个典型的堂吉诃德式人物,他的行为生动地给读者展示出好的意图如何事与愿违。格拉德威尔引出的是一个道德判断与事实判断的哲学问题,考验的是道德与人性。

索飒 著 文汇出版社
本书是国内著名的拉美研究学者索飒的代表作之一。作者以国内资深拉丁美洲研究学者的身份,潜入拉丁美洲大陆的深处,长达数月。本书的写作是一次旅行,更是一次求学,匆匆步履坚实地穿行于厄瓜多尔、秘鲁、墨西哥、古巴四国。敏锐探寻的目光捕获的不仅仅是安第斯山的雄伟、亚马逊热带雨林的旖旎、当地民众的风情,更重要的是,在探寻的目光背后有着一个人文学者的文化审视和学理追究。
面对拉美大地丰富的细节——无论是印第安底层民众的心声,拉美知识分子的觉醒,还是饱经新旧殖民主义蹂躏留下的历史疮痍,作者一面深情吟咏曾创造了玛雅文化、阿兹特克文化、印卡文化的这块丰饶大地,一面无情针砭被媚俗史学遮蔽了的罪恶殖民史。于是,温情和正义时时闪现在文采激扬的流水行文中。

2022年诺贝尔文学奖得主安妮·埃尔诺作品
《一个女人的故事》是安妮·埃尔诺对母亲和女儿、青春和衰老、梦想和现实的感人叙述。在母亲死于阿尔茨海默症后,作者开始了令人生畏的时光倒流之旅,她试图捕捉真正的女人,那个独立于女儿而存在的女人,那个出生在诺曼底小镇、死在巴黎郊区医院的老年病房里的女人。
她探讨了母亲和女儿之间既脆弱又不可动摇的纽带,将她们分开的疏远的世界,以及我们必须失去我们所爱之人这一无法逃避的事实。在这部平静而有力的致敬作品中,埃尔诺想要为她的母亲争取最大的公平:将她描绘成她自己。正如作者所说:“现在我写我的母亲,就像该轮到我重新让母亲出生。”

Global Economic ProspectsJanuary 2023by World Bank World Bank Group
Global Economic Prospects is a World Bank Group Flagship Report that examines global economic developments and prospects, with a special focus on emerging market and developing economies, on a semiannual basis (in January and June). Each edition includes analytical pieces on topical policy challenges faced by these economies.
In Global Economic Prospects (January 2023), global growth is projected to decelerate sharply, reflecting synchronous policy tightening aimed at containing very high inflation, worsening financial conditions, and continued disruptions from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Investment growth in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) is expected to remain below its average rate of the past two decades. Further adverse shocks could push the global economy into recession. Small states are especially vulnerable to such shocks because of the reliance on external trade and financing, limited economic diversification, elevated debt, and susceptibility to natural disasters. Against this backdrop, it is critical that EMDE policy makers ensure that any fiscal support is focused on vulnerable groups, that inflation expectations remain well anchored, and that financial systems continue to be resilient. Urgent global and national efforts are also needed to mitigate the risks of global recession and debt distress in EMDEs, and to support a major increase in EMDE investment.

Packed with robust data, counterintuitive insights, and practical guidance, The JOLT Effect is the playbook for any salesperson or sales leader who wants to close the gap between customer intent and action—and close more sales.

How to talk to data scientists :a guide for executivesby Jeremy Elser BUSINESS EXPERT PRESS
After architecting data science programs at over a dozen companies, across sectors and scales, Dr. Elser has formulated a reliable framework for successful data science programs. Surprisingly, software and algorithms are secondary. Rather, the key is understanding how the available data aligns to the problem to be solved. The business executive understands the problem sufficiently to enforce this alignment, while data scientists act on it. But executives tend to underestimate their role and thereby fail to construct the necessary connective tissue with their data scientists.
This book provides business executives with a concrete exercise, populating a “Master Table,” accessible to nontechnical managers and data scientists, which serves as the connective tissue between them. Rather than teach a diluted version of data science, this book describes how to start projects and how to detect and fix problems—the moments when leadership is critical. Insights are provided through real world examples, including a Playbook featuring common projects. The intended audience is executives (C-suite through VP). However, ambitious mid-level managers and data scientists will also benefit.

Case studies to illustrate topics like hepatitis C, mRNA vaccines, insulin, and price controls are included to aid in seamless reader comprehension.
This book is a must-read for biopharmaceutical professionals and executives who wish to gain high-level insight into key challenges that must be first understood, then overcome, within the pharmaceutical industry.

社会
金翼 :中国家族制度的社会学研究林耀华 著; 庄孔韶, 林宗成 译 生活 读书 新知三联书店
《金翼》是著名人类学家、社会学家和民族学家林耀华先生的学术代表作。他将在福建农村地区的田野调查和自小的成长经历两相结合,以小说笔法,采用“生命传记”的形式,生动塑造了黄东林和张芬洲等人物。全书特别围绕黄、张两人及其背后的宗族势力展开叙述,融真实的民风民俗于虚构的故事情节,细致入微地描绘了这两个家族从清末至抗日战争时期三十余年的起起落落。经由这一番书写,中国(特别是南方)传统乡土社会的物质和精神世界跃然纸上,举凡吃穿用度、婚丧嫁娶、习俗信仰和地方网络等等,都随着叙事展开次第呈现。
林先生将自己的学理思考巧妙埋于故事表层之下,用亲切平实的口吻提出了不少令人赞叹的洞见,这样的学术写作即使在今天看来仍极少见。书中从“平衡论”的视角解读中国传统社会的努力,也仍然富有启发意义,称得上是中国社会学“燕京学派”的传世之作。
推特机器 :为何我们无法摆脱社交媒体(英) 理查德 西摩 著;王伯笛 译 上海文艺出版社1922年,超现实主义者保罗·克利发明了鸣啭机器(the twittering machine),一台将鸟鸣作为诱饵,引诱人类坠入地狱的邪恶机器。
2019年,作者理查德·西摩描绘了推特机器(the twittering machine),一台采用简陋操纵技术,吞噬我们时间和注意力的上瘾机器。
推特机器允诺了一个能够瞬间实现愿望的场所,让我们可以从当代绝望而孤立的现实生活中逃脱。于是,我们忙于精心设计自己的网络身份,歇斯底里地等待下一个热点,却忘了生活本身。
本书是对我们与社交媒体不断变化的关系所带来的政治和心理影响的精彩探究,是对数字生活灾难的一种毫不留情的观照:漫天的假新闻、遍地的喷子、鬼魅的网络诈骗、横行的网络霸凌、无孔不入的企业监控。作者展示了数字世界如何改变我们说话、写作和思考的方式,揭示了社交媒体的上瘾机制。

山寨 :中国式解构(德) 韩炳哲 著;程巍 译, 毛竹 校 中信出版集团
全球化时代探寻东方文化独特价值理念,弘扬中国艺术传统,挺立中国文化精神的别开生面之作!
本书考察了中国传统文化中的仿制现象,从仿制真迹的赝品到假冒却实用性更强的手机,由此讨论了我们总会提到却未及深思的一个现象:“山寨”。在中国文化中,原生产品被不断转换、重新塑形,或者说被解构,这并不意味着损毁和破坏,而更多地是指在不同的、不断的解读中揭示、丰富其意义。东亚传统中并没有“前解构”这样的概念,而是直接从“解构”开始的。解构即建构。
作者站在东方文化立场,批判了西方“绝对”“真理”概念的独断性,弘扬了东方式的连续性、过程性思维(孔子所谓“述而不作”意即在此),为当代艺术领域的创作和阐释建立了新的准则和维度。

(英) 阿诺德 佩西, 白馥兰 著;朱峒樾 译 中信出版集团跨越千年的世界技术发展传播史
技术的革新在相互交流与往来间,西方技术从与中国、印度和伊斯兰文明的持续对话中获益的无数关键方式。这些文化在水利工程、炼铁、枪支和火药的发明、造船、印刷和纺织等方面的创新又强烈地影响了西方的技术发展。本书探索发生在世界不同地区的技术对话,展现不同的民族文化如何影响其接受新技术方式。
本书挑战了关于工业革命的根源和资源的标准故事线,承认在那些历史时刻帮助欧洲在技术创新和组织变革方面取得进展的具体因素,同时也强调了来自世界各地的技能和知识方面不可或缺的贡献,而这些贡献塑造了后来出现的机器时代。

(美) 杰夫 霍金斯, 桑德拉 布莱克斯利 著;廖璐, 陆玉晨 译 浙江教育出版社
科技界一代传奇杰夫·霍金斯人工智能领域里程碑式作品,挖掘人类智能复杂表象背后的简单机制,初次提出人脑工作原理的普适框架。
人工智能领域一直以来坚信:只要人工智能系统能产生类似于人类的行为,它就是智能的。于是,我们看到了能够打败国际象棋冠军的计算机棋手,能够根据路况选择行驶路线的无人驾驶汽车,能够做手术的“医生”……人们甚至开始担忧:有朝一日,机器人会不会超越人类,进而奴役人类?
在本书中,作者指出,如今的人工智能并不智能。要想创造真正的机器智能,最快的途径是理解大脑的工作原理,然后在计算机中模仿这些原理。霍金斯一生痴迷两件事——计算机和大脑。早在几十年前,他创建的Palm掌上电脑就在商业上取得了巨大成功,也成为现代智能手机的原型。但霍金斯一心想弄清楚大脑的工作原理。经过数十年的不懈努力,他终于发现了其中的奥秘:大脑学习世界的一个模型,并使用这个模型来预测未来。人类的创造力、意识都是通过这个模型产生的。这一全新的智能理论框架被命名为“记忆-预测模型”,它改变了人们对智能的看法,也为开发真正的机器智能奠定了坚实的基础。

Where futures converge :Kendall Square and the making of a global innovation hubby Robert Buderi The MIT Press
Kendall Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has been called “the most innovative square mile on the planet.” It’s a life science hub, hosting Biogen, Moderna, Pfizer, Takeda, and others. It’s a major tech center, with Google, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple all occupying big chunks of pricey office space. Kendall Square also boasts a dense concentration of startups, with leading venture capital firms conveniently located nearby. And of course, MIT is just down the block. In Where Futures Converge, Robert Buderi offers the first detailed account of the unique ecosystem that is Kendall Square, chronicling the endless cycles of change and reinvention that have driven its evolution.
Buderi, who himself has worked in Kendall Square for the past twenty years, tells fascinating stories of great innovators and their innovations that stretch back two centuries. Before biotech and artificial intelligence, there was railroad car innovation, the first long-distance telephone call, the Polaroid camera, MIT’s once secret, now famous Radiation Laboratory, and much more. Buderi takes readers on a walking tour of the square and talks to dozens of innovators, entrepreneurs, urban planners, historians, and others. He considers Kendall Square’s limitations—it’s “gentrification gone rogue,” by one description, with little affordable housing, no pharmacy, and a scarce middle class—and its strengths: the “human collisions” that spur innovation.
The globalization myth :why regions matterby Shannon K. O'Neil Yale University PressA case for why regionalization, not globalization, has been the biggest economic trend of the past forty years
The conventional wisdom about globalization is wrong. Over the past forty years as companies, money, ideas, and people went abroad more often than not, they looked regional rather than globally. O’Neil details this transformation and the rise of three major regional hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America. Current technological, demographic, and geopolitical trends look only to deepen these regional ties. O'Neil argues that this has urgent implications for the United States. Regionalization has enhanced economic competitiveness and prosperity in Europe and Asia. It could do the same for the United States, if only it would embrace its neighbors.

Deep purpose :the heart and soul of high-performance companiesby Ranjay Gulati Harper Business
Forbes, Best Business Books of 2022
Thinkers50 Top 10 Best New Management Books for 2022Few business topics have aroused more skepticism in recent years than the notion of corporate purpose, and for good reason. Too many companies deploy purpose, or a reason for being, as a promotional vehicle to make themselves feel virtuous and to look good to the outside world. Some have only foggy ideas about what purpose is and conflate it with strategy and other concepts like “mission,” “vision,” and “values.” Even well-intentioned leaders don’t understand purpose’s full potential and engage half-heartedly and superficially with it. Outsiders spot this and become cynical about companies and the broader capitalist endeavor.
Having conducted extensive field research, Ranjay Gulati reveals the fatal mistakes leaders unwittingly make when attempting to implement a reason for being. Moreover, he shows how companies can embed purpose much more deeply than they currently do, delivering impressive performance benefits that reward customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, and communities alike. To get purpose right, leaders must fundamentally change not only how they execute it but also how they conceive of and relate to it. They must practice what Gulati calls deep purpose, furthering each organization’s reason for being more intensely, thoughtfully, and comprehensively than ever before.
Unreasonable hospitality :the remarkable power of giving people more than they expectby Will Guidara Optimism PressEssential lessons in hospitality for every business, from the former co-owner of legendary restaurant Eleven Madison Park.
Will Guidara was twenty-six when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, a struggling two-star brasserie that had never quite lived up to its majestic room. Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world.
Today, every business can choose to be a hospitality business—and we can all transform ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences. Featuring sparkling stories of his journey through restaurants, with the industry’s most famous players like Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer, Guidara urges us all to find the magic in what we do—for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve.Purpose and profit :how business can lift up the worldby George Serafeim HARPERCOLLINS LEADERSHIPWhat are the forces that are reshaping the relationship between the two? What can we all do to strengthen the relationship between purpose and profit as entrepreneurs, managers, employees, consumers, and investors? Backed by cutting-edge research, Purpose and Profit provides answers to these fundamental questions that are increasingly defining the business landscape all around the world.
Distinguished Harvard Business School Professor George Serafeim takes readers on a research-driven journey to understand: how and why environmental and social issues are becoming increasingly relevant for organizations worldwide; the ways that companies can design and implement strategies that generate greater impact; the six archetypes of value creation enabled by these new trends; the role of investors in driving greater recognition of ESG issues; and how we can all look at the choices we make and careers we pursue in a way that maximizes purpose and profit in our own lives.

He teams up with Zach Clayton, an emerging leader still amid his own leadership development journey, to give emerging leaders the definitive guide for leading in today’s complex world.
by John A. List Penguin Business“Scale” has become a favored buzzword in the startup world. But scale isn't just about accumulating more users or capturing more market share. It's about whether an idea that takes hold in a small group can do the same in a much larger one—whether you’re growing a small business, rolling out a diversity and inclusion program, or delivering billions of doses of a vaccine.
Translating an idea into widespread impact, says University of Chicago economist John A. List, depends on one thing only: whether it can achieve “high voltage”—the ability to be replicated at scale.
By understanding the science of scaling, we can drive change in our schools, workplaces, communities, and society at large. Because a better world can only be built at scale.

Charging ahead :GM, Mary Barra, and the reinvention of an American iconby David Welch Harpercollins Leadership
A decade ago, no one would have guessed that GM would be the company poised to lead America into the future. At a time when business book readers seem endlessly fascinated by soaring tech giants like Amazon and Netflix, and ill-fated startups like WeWork and Theranos, why is it important to put the spotlight back on 112-year-old GM? Because Charlie Wilson’s quip from 1952 is still true: What’s good for GM is still good for America, and vice versa. America needs to transition to a new era of clean energy and environmentally sustainable transportation. We also need to adapt to a world with far fewer assembly-line jobs, but far more skilled jobs for people who can design, build, and operate robots and other high-tech machines. GM’s attempt to lead those transitions is as important as it is dramatic.
Equally compelling is the story of GM’s CEO, Mary Barra, who against all odds took the reins at GM in 2014. Since that time, she has attempted to reinvent a century-old company and equip it for the biggest change in transportation since the internal combustion engine replaced the horse. In the process, she has been ripping out GM traditions by the roots—and taking flak from all sides. Her plan is to make GM—the company famed for the gas-burning Corvette, hulking Cadillac Escalade, and carbon-spewing Silverado pickup—purely electric and clean by 2035.

Leadership :six studies in world strategyby Henry Kissinger Penguin Press
Henry Kissinger, consummate diplomat and statesman, examines the strategies of six great twentieth-century figures and brings to life a unifying theory of leadership and diplomacy.
“Leaders,” writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, “think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second, between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy.”

The age of invisible machines :creating a hyper-automated ecosystem of intelligent digital workersby Robb Wilson Wiley
A Wall Street Journal Best Seller in the Business category
There are plenty of books about artificial intelligence that delve into its predictive capabilities and prowess for managing data, but that's only a piece of the story. Conversational AI allows people to leverage technology by simply asking for its help. Rather than humans having to learn computer languages, computers can speak ours. Organizations that are equipped to leverage conversational AI will be able to create their own automations—in essence writing their own software—using code free development tools. This radical shift has unleashed a new technology landscape where interfaces recede from view and our lives become greatly enhanced by invisible machines.
Author Robb Wilson is the visionary behind OneReach.ai, the highest scoring company in Gartner's 2022 Critical Capabilities for Enterprise Conversational AI Platforms report. OneReach.ai processed more than 1.5 billion conversations in 2021 alone, and Age of Invisible Machines features insights drawn from over 20 years in conversational artificial intelligence, including two million hours of testing with 30 million people. In this unique book, Wilson shares the critical insights he gained on his journey to the top, alongside an eye-opening and startlingly insightful blueprint for leveraging this next wave of disruptive technologies.Working with AI :real stories of human-machine collaborationby Thomas H. Davenport and Steven M. Miller The MIT PressTwo management and technology experts show that AI is not a job destroyer, exploring worker-AI collaboration in real-world work settings.
This book breaks through both the hype and the doom-and-gloom surrounding automation and the deployment of artificial intelligence-enabled—“smart”—systems at work. Management and technology experts Thomas Davenport and Steven Miller show that, contrary to widespread predictions, prescriptions, and denunciations, AI is not primarily a job destroyer. Rather, AI changes the way we work—by taking over some tasks but not entire jobs, freeing people to do other, more important and more challenging work. By offering detailed, real-world case studies of AI-augmented jobs in settings that range from finance to the factory floor, Davenport and Miller also show that AI in the workplace is not the stuff of futuristic speculation. It is happening now to many companies and workers.
by Kate Eichhorn The MIT PressFrom the time we roll out of bed to check overnight updates to our last posts, likes, and views of the previous day, we're consuming and producing content. But what does the term “content” even mean? When did it become ubiquitous? And at what cost? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Kate Eichhorn offers a concise introduction to content and the content industry, examining the far-reaching effects content has on culture, politics, and labor in a digital age.
Eichhorn traces the evolution of our current understanding of content from the early internet to the current social mediaverse. The quintessential example of content, she says, is the Instagram egg—an image that imparted no information or knowledge and circulated simply for the sake of circulation. Eichhorn explores what differentiates user-generated content from content produced by compensated (although often undercompensated) workers; examines how fields from art and literature to journalism and politics have weathered the rise of the content industry; and investigates the increasing importance of artists’ “content capital”—the ability of artists, writers, and performers to produce content not about their work but about their status as artists.

精通计量 :因果之道(美) 乔舒亚•安格里斯特, (美) 约恩-斯特芬•皮施克 著; 郎金焕 译 上海人民出版社 / 格致出版社
乔舒亚·安格里斯特等人对自然实验和因果识别方法的探索与推广,极大地改变了社会科学的实证研究范式。掀起这场实证研究革命的三位代表性经济学家,实至名归地荣获了2021年诺贝尔经济学奖。如今,基于自然实验的因果识别方法已成为经济学者工具箱里的实证工具。如何学好用好这个工具,以回答更多有趣有意义的社会问题,最好的路径就是从安格里斯特这本《精通计量:因果之道》开始学习。
本书通过精心准备的现实案例,为研究者介绍了五种蕞有用的计量工具——随机实验、回归、工具变量、回归断点设计,以及双重差分。读者将会看到,巧妙运用这五种工具,可以如何从真实世界的不完美数据中,建构出接近随机实验的情境,从而排除掉纷繁芜杂的干扰因素,揭示出隐藏的因果关系。
创新之所 :城市, 科技和新经济(美) 莎伦•佐金 著; 钟晓华, 周蜀秦 译 格致出版社近年来,“创新”刺激了由科技产业领导的城市经济复兴。投资者们促进了创业生态系统的发展,政府领导者们建造了科技中心,科技社群的“布道者”联结了年轻的软件工程师与诸如亚马逊和谷歌这样的科技巨头。他们让城市转型为一个创新综合体,一方面扩大科技产业的版图,另一方面奋力控制科技产业的权力。
没有一个城市比纽约更有野心追寻这样一种愿景。它发轫于2008年经济衰退,期望创造上千家新科技公司以及成千上万个科技工作。在两届风格非常不同的市长的带领下,纽约采取了一系列举措来培育科技公司,建立科技劳动力力量。但是,科技的发展也带来了抵抗,尤其是那些反对亚马逊在皇后区设立第二总部的抗议者。
在本书中,莎伦·佐金深入分析了这些创造了纽约科技经济的人们,以及科技产业的落脚之地。她追溯了纽约对2008年金融危机的应对,以及来自美国其他地方和海外的巨大财富杠杆。通过与风险投资家、创业公司创始人和经济发展部门官员的访谈,她探索了创新之所的内涵——从编程马拉松、技术交流会、创业加速器到风投办公室、布鲁克林滨水区以及纽约的大学——新经济的规则正是由此诞生。然而,由于创新综合体形塑了城市,它增加了城市对于全球资本的依赖,虹吸了公共补贴,并产生了新的精英阶层。佐金这一大胆的观点是对纽约、乃至全球所有城市的一个警告。

情理与正义 :转型期中国社会的伦理学原理汪丁丁 著 上海人民出版社本书内容出自汪丁丁教授近年为北京大学国家发展研究院开设的EMBA课程。作者认为,要理解任何中国现象,首先要将中国现象置于三重转型期的理解框架之内,关注转型期社会的伦理行为,其中涌现的问题,激发了作者在几十年研究和思考的过程中形成了一些“原理”。本书共分四讲,先后探讨了稳态社会的伦理学基本问题、转型期社会的伦理学基本问题,以及转型期中国社会的伦理学基本问题。伦理学,广义的,蕞大适用范围的伦理学,用一句话概括,是关于社会生活的智慧。中国社会处于三重转型期,于是才有中国当代独有的人生问题与企业问题。短期行为不能产生稳定的行为预期,于是也没有正常的企业文化。这是转型期中国社会的基本状况,人人理性预期人人行为短期化。不如此预期的人,反而不理性。我们该如何求解社会生活的智慧?该如何达致人与人之间深层的情感交流?

马勇 著 学苑出版社
孔子与儒学对于中国人来说,不是一个简单的文化现象,而是中国文明之根,是中国人之魂,与国人血脉相连。历史学者马勇先生积40年之功,从大历史的视角,给3000年中国儒学的发展做了鸟瞰式的描述,为读者建构了一个宏观框架:按照时间顺序,逐一介绍各个时代的儒学大师的主要成就与观点、儒家流派的基本情况、儒学与其他思想流派的交流与互补;剖析儒学是如何影响政治格局与制度的,又是如何影响社会文化与民族性格的。
马勇先生又从微观角度出发,勾勒出了3000年中国儒学的枝枝叶叶:精心整理154位儒学人物的小传、4幅儒学流派师承关系图、3000年儒学大事记、26幅珍藏彩色《孔子圣迹图》等,见微知著,用讲故事、列图表的方式,帮助读者走进3000年儒学的血肉中,感受中华文化的跳动脉搏。每个中国人的血脉里天然就有儒学的基因,读懂中国,必先读懂中国儒学;一部中国史,就在3000年儒学史里。
葛兆光 著 四川人民出版社本书是葛兆光学术随笔,共分为六部分,部分旨在为传统祛魅,对新世纪以来,国人趋之若鹜的国学热做历史角度的分析。语言轻松幽默,言说的背后又带有对当代文化的关切。是可读性与内容扎实兼备的六篇历史小品文。第二和三部分,是葛兆光多年来,治学研究的当行本色。从周边看中国,何以中国,这些当下读书界耳熟能详的命题,正是在全球化的今天,中国人如何与世界相处的一种自我定位。这里面的八篇文章,正是在这个支点上展开,有对中国典籍,特别是地图的新认识,也有多包括朝鲜、泰国(暹罗)、缅甸的新知。读来引人入胜。第四部分,名之曰游学,是作者连续三年在美国普林斯顿交流的侧写,它展现的是历史学人更为感性的一面,历史学家看历史学家,是抛去故纸堆后的英雄相见欢。第五部分,可谓之曰治学,与部分也有一定的呼应。在多年的教学中,葛兆光对人文学科、学术史、思想史都有自己的新的体验,这些体验大都是创建,也是痛定思动的反思,对后来人是一种启迪。后,一部分写作附录,其实也可叫前史,从葛兆光的来路身世,谈到他的求学,以及研究。像是他个人的一个自画像和小传。

许子东 著 上海三联书店
读100年的小说,看100年的中国。巴尔扎克说:“小说被认为是一个民族的秘史。”这一次,我们用小说打开中国!百年来,1902—1916,总被忽略的“晚清时期”;1917—1941,总被说起的“五四时期”;1942—1976,总被留白的“革命时期”;1977孕育新声,总被争论的“80年代至今”……
许子东的“20世纪小说课”,以编年体为顺序,以文本阅读为中心,“士农工商仕”中国社会各阶层分析,重新梳理20世纪中国小说的关键线索,聚焦近代、现代、当代文学史上近百部(篇)中短长篇小说。从1902年梁启超《新中国未来记》“神预言”开始,一直到2006年刘慈欣的科幻小说《三体》为止,奇遇中国100年。特别收入“生态篇”,高度还原“作家的一天”——1926年郁达夫的“恋爱”日记,1936年鲁迅晚年的“误诊”疑云,1952年巴金“同志”在朝鲜战场,1984年“寻根”韩少功在杭州会议,1994年“拜访”王安忆的上海作家生活……百年来,中国怎么会走到今天?会走向怎样的明天?《老残游记》有句话:“眼前路都是从过去的路生出来的,你走两步回头看看,一定不会错了。”
梁鸿 著 上海三联书店2010年,《中国在梁庄》首次出版,向我们展现了一个急速变化的时代下的中国村庄的变迁。十年之后,作者梁鸿再次回到故乡,重访当年的书中记述的人和事。十年当中,一切都在发生改变,又似乎全无变化:一些人永远离开了这里,一些在外漂泊的人重返此地,村庄的面貌、河流和土地都与从前不同。而人事变幻之中,梁庄和梁庄人所透露出的生机和活力却不减当年。此次回归,梁鸿用全新的视角重新审视了自己的家乡,以细腻的描写和敏锐的洞察,将梁庄的人们再次带回我们的视野,并借由对他们生活的追溯,描摹出一个普通村庄绵长而有力的生命线——这生命线既属于那些“生于斯、长于斯、死于斯”的人们,也属于身处同一股时代洪流的人们。
黄永玉 著 作家出版社黄永玉先生这一生,真正做到了明确地爱、真诚地喜欢、直接地厌恶,这是多么让人羡慕的人生状态啊。他乘着自己的小船划过众多深邃的河流,用双脚丈量过无数奇绝的高山,与那么多有趣的灵魂相伴而行,种种都可以在文字中寻到踪迹。现在,他将饱藏着自己近一个世纪生命体验的150余首诗篇完整呈现在读者面前。里面有让人心醉神往的爱情,有如骨肉如兄弟的友情,有对正义的无畏捍卫,有对丑恶的厉声呵责……文风不拘一格,肆意洒脱,达观睿智,热忱坦诚。无需在这里刻意寻找什么哲理和意义,这就是一部纯粹的、诚恳的、朴素的、坦荡的、坚定的人生剖白。黄先生走过的路让我们相信,人无论在顺境、逆境还是绝境,都可以选择正义和善良。

芯片战争 :历史与今天的半导体突围脑极体 著 北京大学出版社
今天我们很容易发现,不断升温的中美科技博弈,核心问题就在于芯片。一枚小小的芯片,究竟为何会变成制约中国科技发展的关键因素?环绕在中国外围的半导体封锁,究竟是如何一步步发展到了今天的情况?另一方面,芯片产业本身特质是高投入、高度集成化、全产业链分配。这些特质导致芯片产业必然不断发生旧秩序损坏与新规则建立,换言之,在芯片领域,“战争”是常态,而“和平共处”非常稀少。如果我们能读懂历史上已经发生的芯片战争与芯片博弈,那么也将能以效率找到今天中国芯片的突围方向。将历史经验与今天的情况结合,或许会发现,我们此刻正身处一场从未停止过的“芯片战争”。

Economics
Cogs and monsters :what economics is, and what it should beDiane Coyle Princeton University Press
Digital technology, big data, big tech, machine learning, and AI are revolutionizing both the tools of economics and the phenomena it seeks to measure, understand, and shape. In Cogs and Monsters, Diane Coyle explores the enormous problems―but also opportunities―facing economics today if it is to respond effectively to these dizzying changes and help policymakers solve the world’s crises, from pandemic recovery and inequality to slow growth and the climate emergency.
Mainstream economics, Coyle says, still assumes people are “cogs”―self-interested, calculating, independent agents interacting in defined contexts. But the digital economy is much more characterized by “monsters”―untethered, snowballing, and socially influenced unknowns. What is worse, by treating people as cogs, economics is creating its own monsters, leaving itself without the tools to understand the new problems it faces. In response, Coyle asks whether economic individualism is still valid in the digital economy, whether we need to measure growth and progress in new ways, and whether economics can ever be objective, since it influences what it analyzes. Just as important, the discipline needs to correct its striking lack of diversity and inclusion if it is to be able to offer new solutions to new problems.
The Economic Weapon :The Rise of Sanctions As a Tool of Modern WarNicholas Mulder Yale University PressEconomic sanctions dominate the landscape of world politics today. First developed in the early twentieth century as a way of exploiting the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare.
Tracing the use of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, Nicholas Mulder uses extensive archival research in a political, economic, legal, and military history that reveals how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations. This timely study casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their unintended consequences are so tremendous.

The Wall and the Bridge :Fear and Opportunity in Disruption's WakeGlenn Hubbard Yale University PressFree-market economists often have noted that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist world. The question of how to deal with the difficult real-life consequences faced by the losers, however, has largely been ignored. Populist politicians have tried repeatedly to address the issue by creating walls—of both the physical and economic kinds—to insulate communities and keep competition at bay. While recognizing the broad emotional appeal of walls, economist Glenn Hubbard argues that because they delay needed adaptations to the ever-changing world, walls are essentially backward-looking and ultimately destined to fail. Taking Adam Smith’s logic to Youngstown, Ohio, as a case study in economic disruption, Hubbard promotes the benefits of an open economy and creating bridges to support people in turbulent times so that they remain engaged and prepared to participate in, and reap the rewards of, a new economic landscape.

Sustainability:what everyone needs to knowPaul B. Thompson and Patricia E. Norris Oxford University Press
This short, accessible book written in the signature question-and-answer format of the What Everyone Needs to Know series tackles these and numerous other questions. Sustainability is a porous topic, which has been adapted and reshaped for developing ecological models, improving corporate responsibility, setting environmental and land-use policies, organizing educational curricula, and reimagining the goals of governance and democracy. Where other treatments of this topic tend to focus on just one application of sustainability, this primer encompasses everything from global development and welfare to social justice and climate change. With chapters that discuss sustainability in the contexts of profitable businesses, environmental risks, scientific research, and the day-to-day business of local government, it gives listeners a deep understanding of one of the most essential concepts of our time.

Empire of pain :the secret history of the Sackler dynastyby Patrick Radden Keefe Doubleday
The history of the Sackler dynasty is rife with drama - baroque personal lives; bitter disputes over estates; fistfights in boardrooms; glittering art collections; Machiavellian courtroom maneuvers; and the calculated use of money to burnish reputations and crush the less powerful. The Sackler name has adorned the walls of many storied institutions - Harvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis.
This is the saga of three generations of a single family and the mark they would leave on the world, a tale that moves from the bustling streets of early 20th-century Brooklyn to the seaside palaces of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Cap d’Antibes to the corridors of power in Washington, DC. Empire of Pain chronicles the multiple investigations of the Sacklers and their company, and the scorched-earth legal tactics that the family has used to evade accountability.

原则 :应对变化中的世界秩序(美) 瑞·达利欧 著; 崔苹苹, 刘波 译 中信出版集团
自然界的发展是有规律的,而任何事物都按其固有的轨迹运行。人们能够用一定的方法去认识它、体验它、并按照客观规律改造它。从《原则》《债务危机》到《原则:应对变化中的世界秩序》,桥水投资公司创始人瑞·达利欧的研究角度涉及个体、组织、社会和世界。他想揭示的是个体的生活和工作原则、组织机构的运转原则、国家和社会的兴衰原则、世界秩序的变化原则。
在这本书中,瑞·达利欧探究的是社会和世界的运行规律和原则,他考察了500年财富和权力的所有重大变化背后反复出现的模式和因果关系。他认为在这些变化背后存在着永恒普适的规律。通过考察许多相互关联的历史事件,可以看到这些变化的典型模式、规律、周期和因果关系,并以此为基础推断未来。
达利欧认为,历史通常也是通过相对明确的生命周期、随着一代人向下一代人的过渡而逐步演进的。所有帝国和王朝都是在典型的大周期中崛起和衰落的,可以就此判断自己所处的位置,以此判断之后的走向。目前相对财富、权力和世界秩序正在发生典型的巨变,这将对所有国家的每个人都产生深远的影响……
(德) 弗洛里安韦 著 ; 全栎 译 四川人民出版社谈判是高难度且复杂的,却几乎遍布在工作和生活的每个角落。每一次信息的交换、每一次简单的沟通、每一个项目的推进、每一场突如其来的改变,都需要谈判作为支撑。如何让谈判变得简单、高效是现代人不可或缺的技能。从这本书中,你能学到:
着眼于利益,而非立场。立场说的是你想要什么,利益说的是你为什么想要。说服对方好的方式是使用他们自己认为公平和公正的标准。利益冲突可视为每个谈判的出发点,要以中立的角度看待。不要被自己的底线锚定了,否则你会缺少野心,白白错过扩大自身利益的机会。你要在坚持自己观点的同时,还能表现出自己的共情能力。如果你倾向于早早地让步或妥协,那么你就是在为他人谈判。不要害怕谈判僵局,这是摆脱低效谈判模式的绝好机会。谈判是一种创造力,是一种使命,是你赢得胜利的灵魂!

现代中国的形成 :1600-1949李怀印 著 广西师范大学出版社今天的中国究竟从何而来?现代中国何以能避免多族群帝国崩溃和分裂的命运,建立一个高度有效且长期稳定的国家?其疆域构成、族群组合和政权形态具有何种历史合理性与独特性?今后的中国国家能否继续维持“既大且强”的格局?本书令人信服地回答了以上极具挑战性的问题。
本书是一部视野宏大、新见迭出的中国近现代史著作。全书主要围绕对现代中国形成过程的重新认识问题,以及中国近代史的历史书写本身所存在的问题两方面展开研究。作者从全球史的视角,着眼于地缘政治、财政军事和政治认同三个要素,全面论述十七至二十世纪现代中国的形成过程,在世界历史的视野下探寻现代中国形成的独特路径。全书视野宽广,内容丰富,见解独到,对于试图理解现代中国之过去与未来的研究者和普通读者来说,都是一部不容错过的精彩著作。
(日) 川胜义雄 著; 林晓光 译 九州出版社从秦汉到隋唐帝国之间的魏晋南北朝,经历了三百多年的大分裂时期。这是群雄割据的混乱时代,也是文学艺术、思想文化波澜壮阔的时代。本书宏观地聚焦于这三百多年乱世的种种因素和历史发展脉络,以超越政权、超越时代的广阔视野,跳出王朝更替、权力斗争等短时段的政治纷纭,综合性地考察魏晋南北朝政治史和文化史的交织,追踪在其中顽强生存着的“贵族制社会”的变迁轨迹,并重点介绍中国文明的结构和特点,探究华夏文明惊人的一贯性与强韧性。
刘勃 著 上海文艺出版社这是“刘勃说书”系列的第二本。三国还未归晋,曹刘已成传说。故事流传千年,方有《三国演义》。解读三国的常见套路,是用史料纠错演义;本书反其道而行之,探究史实如何被大众审美和文人趣味塑造成型——犹如看见两位美女,是如何一步步化妆乃至整容的——这无疑是极有趣的。
革命的形成 :清季十年的转折罗志田 著 商务印书馆清季十年间,朝廷正以前所未有的速度和广度推行全面改革,却恰于此时爆发了革命。这一历史大变局,留下了诸多疑问:在朝廷没有并无太多暴戾苛政的情形下,为何会发生革命?清朝何以骤然崩溃,革命何以轻易速成?
改革开启后,一个根本的问题,就是体制或结构及政治伦理是否改变、怎样改变及以何种速度改变。正是由于制度的困境,使自上而下的新政带有了“自毁”的意味,并终不得不让位于自下而上的革命。
宋代中国的改革 :王安石及其新政(美) 刘子健 著, 张钰翰 译 上海人民出版社本书在既有研究成果的基础上,重新阐释了王安石变法的重点及其失败的原因。全书以王安石变法为主线,将北宋中后期的历史分为变法、反变法和后变法三个阶段,完整地叙述了北宋后期士大夫政治全局的演变。作者指出,王安石的理想是实现儒家的道德社会,在这一点上,王安石与他的反对者并无二致。问题在于王安石希望通过改造、建立新的官僚体制以实现这一理想。由此,作者着重分析了王安石的官僚体制改革,聚焦吏役次官僚制,考察新政的政府运作,并以募役法这一新政核心制度作为个案研究,总结归纳新政的特点。本书的关注点不仅在于王安石变法本身,更在于王安石所代表的儒家道德理想主义与现实政治权力结构之间的矛盾与纠葛。这也是本书的重要特色与价值之所在。

(美) 托马斯·亚瑟·毕森 著; (加拿大) 李彦 译 人民文学出版社
这是一部极具党史价值和现实意义的纪实作品,是美国学者毕森1937年6月到访延安的见闻与记录,是中国共产党延安时期革命实践和思想理论的重要见证。
作者托马斯•亚瑟•毕森是上世纪30年代美国著名的亚洲问题研究专家,是《红星照耀中国》作者埃德加•斯诺的好朋友。1937年6月卢沟桥事变前夕,在斯诺的帮助下,毕森与其他几位美国同行一起,悄悄奔赴延安,亲眼见证了当年中国社会的动荡现实与革命圣地的烽火岁月,采访了、朱德、周恩来等红军领袖,并将这些见闻与采访用铅笔记在两个笔记本上,真实记录了延安时期中国共产党人的初心、理想和奋斗实践。
除了文字记录之外,毕森一行还拍摄了大量珍贵的照片,有从西安到延安的沿途景象,有延安根据地的日常生活,尤其难得的是捕捉到许多正值盛年的中国共产党领袖们的面容与身姿。这些珍贵的笔记和照片,不仅能呈现早期中国共产党人的容貌风采、精神信念和理想光芒,更是从一位西方学者更加客观和切实的角度,证明了中国共产党的使命初心、中国革命的正义性和历史必然性,是对中国共产党一百年辉煌而艰辛历程的有力补充和证明。尤其值得关注的是,自作者到访延安80多年以来,这些笔记仅于1973年由加州大学伯克利分校出版过英文版,之后再未出版。本次是首次在中国出版单行本。

Economics
The economic weapon :the rise of sanctions as a tool of modern warby Nicholas Mulder Yale University Press
Economic sanctions dominate the landscape of world politics today. First developed in the early twentieth century as a way of exploiting the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare.
Tracing the use of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, Nicholas Mulder uses extensive archival research in a political, economic, legal, and military history that reveals how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations. This timely study casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their unintended consequences are so tremendous.

Finance
Trillions :how a band of Wall Street renegades invented the index fund and changed finance foreverby Robin Wigglesworth Portfolio / Penguin
From the Financial Times' global finance correspondent, the incredible true story of the iconoclastic geeks who defied conventional wisdom and endured Wall Street's scorn to launch the index fund revolution, democratizing investing and saving hundreds of billions of dollars in fees that would have otherwise lined fat cats' pockets.
In Trillions, Financial Times journalist Robin Wigglesworth unveils the vivid secret history of an invention Wall Street wishes was never created, bringing to life the characters behind its birth, growth, and evolution into a world-conquering phenomenon. This engrossing narrative is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand modern finance - and one of the most pressing financial uncertainties of our time.
The power law :venture capital and the making of the new futureby Sebastian Mallaby Penguin PressInnovations rarely come from “experts.” Elon Musk was not an “electric car person” before he started Tesla. When it comes to improbable innovations, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives the VC business, all of Silicon Valley, the wider tech sector, and, by extension, the world.
In The Power Law, Sebastian Mallaby has parlayed unprecedented access to the most celebrated venture capitalists of all time—the key figures at Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Accel, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz, as well as Chinese partnerships such as Qiming and Capital Today—into a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis that unfurls the history of tech incubation, in the Valley and ultimately worldwide. We learn the unvarnished truth, often for the first time, about some of the most iconic triumphs and infamous disasters in Valley history, from the comedy of errors at the birth of Apple to the avalanche of venture money that fostered hubris at WeWork and Uber.
The future of money :how the digital revolution is transforming currencies and financeby Eswar S. Prasad Harvard University PressEswar Prasad explains the world of finance is at the threshold of major disruption that will affect corporations, bankers, states, and indeed all of us. The transformation of money will fundamentally rewrite how ordinary people live.
Above all, Prasad foresees the end of physical cash. The driving force won't be phones or credit cards but rather central banks, spurred by the emergence of cryptocurrencies to develop their own, more stable digital currencies. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies themselves will evolve unpredictably as global corporations like Facebook and Amazon join the game. The changes will be accompanied by snowballing innovations that are reshaping finance and have already begun to revolutionize how we invest, trade, insure, and manage risk.
Prasad shows how these and other changes will redefine the very concept of money, unbundling its traditional functions as a unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value. The promise lies in greater efficiency and flexibility, increased sensitivity to the needs of diverse consumers, and improved market access for the unbanked. The risk is instability, lack of accountability, and erosion of privacy. A lu
Warren Buffett :inside the ultimate money mindby Robert G. Hagstrom WileyWhat exactly is a Money Mind? At one level, it's a way of thinking about major financial issues such as capital allocation. At another level, it summarizes an overall mindset for successfully investing in today’s fast-paced stock market, a mindset that depends on a commitment to learning, adapting, and facing down irrelevant noise.
This is not a method book. It is a thinking book.
Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind explains the philosophies of self-reliance, stoicism, rationalism, and pragmatism and their contributions to making intelligent investment decisions. It also outlines the evolution of value investing, discusses how to develop a business-driven investing mindset, and describes the defining traits of successful active management. Lastly, it examines the surprising aspects of a Money Mind – sportsman, teacher, and artist.

Liu offers hilarious and insightful advice on everything from landing an interview to self-promotion to getting paid. You’ll discover: How to get that job you always wanted; Why career longevity and “success” comes from doing the least amount of work for the most pay; How mastering cognitive biases and understanding human nature can help you win the rat race; How to make people think you’re the smartest person in the room without actually being the smartest person in the room; How to make sure you do everything in your power to get paid well (or at least not get screwed too badly); How to turn any weakness or liability into an asset to further your career.

Simple truths of leadership :52 ways to be a servant leader and build trustby Ken Blanchard, Randy Conley Berrett-Koehler
Effective leadership is an influence process where leaders implement everyday, commonsense approaches that help people and organizations thrive. Yet somehow, many of these fundamental principles are still missing from most workplaces. In Simple Truths of Leadership, legendary servant leadership expert Ken Blanchard, whose books have sold millions of copies worldwide, and his colleague Randy Conley, known and recognized for his many years of thought leadership and expertise in the field of trust, share fifty-two Simple Truths about leadership that will help leaders everywhere make commonsense leadership common practice.
Lead with hospitality :be human, emotionally connect, serve selflesslyby Taylor Scott Matt Holt BooksSpeaker, consultant, and hospitality industry veteran Taylor Scott knows that the most effective leaders approach their roles with heart, emotionally connecting with their team members before attempting to manage them. In Lead with Hospitality, Scott draws from his two decades in leadership roles at respected hotels, resorts, and restaurants. He distills the principles of gracious hospitality, translating them into actionable leadership lessons which apply in any industry, such as: how making people feel welcome fosters loyalty and keeps workers engaged with an organization's purpose; how serving people with empathy and compassion sparks workers' highest productivity; how making people feel comfortable encourages exploration, curiosity, and discovery while inviting everyone to lean into their creativity; and how making people feel significant drives them to deliver their best work. He also shares specific, practical steps you can take to put these principles into action.
Reach :Create the Biggest Possible Audience for Your Message, Book, or Causeby Becky Robinson Berrett-Koehler PublishersAnyone who makes the bold decision to put their ideas out into the world wants to reach as many people as possible. Unfortunately, too many think it’s a question of numbers—the more people you can get in front of, the better. But true reach is about expanding your audience while making a meaningful and enduring difference that has a lasting impact.
Reach provides a clear and structured approach to creating a successful online presence that will create the biggest possible impact for any message. Becky Robinson shares a framework to cultivate followers that requires four commitments: value, consistency, endurance, and generosity. When you make these four commitments, you’ll deliver memorable content on a regular basis while keeping the long-term view in mind and being committed to helping and sharing with others.

Business Enterprises
The cult of We :WeWork, Adam Neumann, and the great startup delusionby Eliot Brown and Maureen Farrell Crown
WeWork would be worth $10 trillion, more than any other company in the world. It wasn’t just an office space provider. It was a tech company - an AI startup, even. Its WeGrow schools and WeLive residences would revolutionize education and housing. One day, mused founder Adam Neumann, a Middle East peace accord would be signed in a WeWork. The company might help colonize Mars. And Neumann would become the world’s first trillionaire.
This was the vision of Neumann and his primary cheerleader, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son. In hindsight, their ambition for the company, whose primary business was subletting desks in slickly designed offices, seems like madness. Why did so many intelligent people - from venture capitalists to Wall Street elite - fall for the hype? And how did WeWork go so wrong?
Tata :the global corporation that built Indian capitalismby Mircea Raianu Harvard University PressNearly a century old, the grand façade of Bombay House is hard to miss in the historic business district of Mumbai. This is the iconic global headquarters of the Tata Group, a multinational corporation that produces everything from salt to software. After getting their start in the cotton and opium trades, the Tatas, a Parsi family from Navsari, Gujarat, ascended to commanding heights in the Indian economy by the time of independence in 1947. Over the course of its 150-year history Tata spun textiles, forged steel, generated hydroelectric power, and took to the skies. It also faced challenges from restive workers fighting for their rights and political leaders who sought to curb its power.
In this sweeping history, Mircea Raianu tracks the fortunes of a family-run business that was born during the high noon of the British Empire and went on to capture the world’s attention with the headline-making acquisition of luxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover. The growth of Tata was a complex process shaped by world historical forces: the eclipse of imperial free trade, the intertwined rise of nationalism and the developmental state, and finally the return of globalization and market liberalization. Today Tata is the leading light of one of the world’s major economies, selling steel, chemicals, food, financial services, and nearly everything else, while operating philanthropic institutions that channel expert knowledge in fields such as engineering and medicine.

Statistics
The data detective :ten easy rules to make sense of statisticsby Tim Harford Riverhead Books
Today we think statistics are the enemy, numbers used to mislead and confuse us. That’s a mistake, Tim Harford says in The Data Detective. We shouldn’t be suspicious of statistics - we need to understand what they mean and how they can improve our lives: they are, at heart, human behavior seen through the prism of numbers and are often “the only way of grasping much of what is going on around us”. If we can toss aside our fears and learn to approach them clearly - understanding how our own preconceptions lead us astray - statistics can point to ways we can live better and work smarter.
As “perhaps the best popular economics writer in the world” (New Statesman), Tim Harford is an expert at taking complicated ideas and untangling them for millions of readers. In The Data Detective, he uses new research in science and psychology to set out ten strategies for using statistics to erase our biases and replace them with new ideas that use virtues like patience, curiosity, and good sense to better understand ourselves and the world. As a result, The Data Detective is a big-idea book about statistics and human behavior that is fresh, unexpected, and insightful.

Psychology
Think again :the power of knowing what you don't knowby Adam Grant Viking
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval - and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become.
Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds - and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

Biography
The contrarian :Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's pursuit of powerby Max Chafkin Penguin Press
Since the days of the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s, no industry has made a greater impact on the world than Silicon Valley. And few individuals have done more to shape Silicon Valley than Peter Thiel. The billionaire venture capitalist and entrepreneur has been a behind-the-scenes operator influencing countless aspects of our contemporary way of life, from the technologies we use every day to the delicate power balance between Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington. But despite his power and the ubiquity of his projects, no public figure is quite so mysterious.
In the first major biography of Thiel, Max Chafkin traces the trajectory of the innovator's singular life and worldview, from his upbringing as the child of immigrant parents and years at Stanford as a burgeoning conservative thought leader to his founding of PayPal and Palantir, early investment in Facebook and SpaceX, and relationships with fellow tech titans Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Eric Schmidt. The Contrarian illuminates the extent to which Thiel has sought to export his values to the corridors of power beyond Silicon Valley, including funding the lawsuit that destroyed the blog Gawker and strenuously backing far-right political candidates, notably Donald Trump for president in 2016.

宋志平 著 机械工业出版社三精管理的指导思想和管理理念体现为全员参与、持续改进、系统优化。
全员参与:每个人都是三精管理的践行者和维护者,实施三精管理必须要从“人”上下功夫。实施三精管理的企业激发了员工“整个人”的才干和智慧,而没实施三精管理的企业可能只发挥了员工的“一双手”的作用。
持续改进:坚持目标导向,紧盯细节、深入分析,不断发现问题,以持续创新的思维寻求突破、以精益求精的态度努力改进。不断挑战现状,时刻牢记三精管理的征程上没有好,只有更好。
系统优化:三精管理的着眼点必须是全要素的,而不能割裂到每条业务线上各自推动。如果各自为政,只追求本业务线内极致的效率和效益,而不着眼于整个系统的布局、运转、优化、提升,那么就会导致“孤岛效应”,可能反而影响整个系统的效率和效益。

哲学
我非我脑 :21世纪的精神哲学(德) 马库斯•加布里尔 著; 王培 译 重庆出版社
对自我的认识始终是哲学的核心主题。在过去的几十年里,随着神经科学家对大脑研究的逐步深入,主张自我等同于大脑,大脑中的生物化学反应决定了我们一切思想和行为的观念渐成主流。
哲学教授马库斯·加布里尔却犀利指出,将精神的产生理解成生物过程的观念是对自我理解的扭曲和退化。他从康德、莱布尼茨、费希特、谢林等哲学大师的思想中汲取养分,以新实在论和新存在主义为根基,借用思想实验、生活事例和人们耳熟能详的文学作品、科幻影视剧,逻辑严明又妙趣横生地探讨了意识、自我意识等有关自我的核心概念,以及精神与大脑的关系这一精神哲学的核心问题,对形形色色的神经中心主义进行了批判,并提出与主流思潮相抗衡的“自我不是大脑”的观点。
加布里尔还对“自由意志”这一哲学概念进行了全新的辩护:人并非生物机器,人始终拥有自主选择的自由。加布里尔对人类自主与尊严的重申,为21世纪人工智能时代的精神哲学开启了新的视野。

中国绘画 :远古至唐(美) 巫鸿 著 上海人民出版社
从岩石上的神秘图像,到陶器、建筑上的纹饰与壁画,绘画的二维平面如何产生?从陶瓮上的鹳鱼石斧图,到彩绘漆盒上人物与时空交叠的空间性图画,器物表面的写实绘画如何引发了画像的独立?楚汉墓葬礼仪艺术展现的个绘画高潮如何联系着后世佛教壁画和卷轴画的繁荣发展?名家辈出的宫廷艺术与臻于极盛的公共宗教艺术在朝野间的争奇斗艳如何塑造了富有变化和新意的盛唐气象?
在中国绘画三千年的漫长历史中,以唐末为节点的早期绘画担负着开发绘画媒材的宏大历史职责,无名画家的集体创作在日常生活和宗教礼仪环境中扮演着重要的角色,不同于以卷轴画为大宗的后世绘画,考古材料中所反映出的不同时期、地域和画手的风格变化,使得这段绘画史具有了研究方法上的独特性格。

Investing amid low expected returns :making the most when markets offer the leastby Antti Ilmanen Wiley
In Investing Amid Low Expected Returns: Making the Most When Markets Offer the Least, renowned institutional investor advisor Dr. Antti Ilmanen delivers a timeless—and timely—treatment of strategic investment processes in times of low returns.
The author outlines the low expected return challenge now facing investors due to the past four-decade stretch that has seen markets with ever-increasing valuations and realized returns with falling yields. Assuming high realized returns will persist, especially in an era of low starting yields, is therefore complacent.
The key building blocks to improving long-run returns—including major asset class premia, illiquidity premia, style premia, and the always elusive alpha—are discussed as well, with extensive empirical evidence used to bolster the book’s exploration of the most reliable sources of investment returns.
Readers will learn how to construct an efficient portfolio from these building blocks as well as how to manage risk and control costs, informed by detailed descriptions of competing investment models and best practices amongst large institutional asset owners.

Trust & inspire :how truly great leaders unleash greatness in othersby Stephen M.R. Covey, et al. Simon & Schuster
We have a leadership crisis today, where even though our world has changed drastically, our leadership style has not. Most organizations, teams, schools, and families today still operate from a model of “command and control,” focusing on hierarchies and compliance from people. But because of the changing nature of the world, the workforce, work itself, and the choices we have for where and how to work and live, this way of leading is drastically outdated.
Stephen M.R. Covey has made it his life’s work to understand trust in leadership and organizations. In his newest and most transformative book, Trust and Inspire, he offers a simple yet bold solution: to shift from this “command and control” model to a leadership style of “trust and inspire.” People don’t want to be managed; they want to be led. Trust and Inspire is a new way of leading that starts with the belief that people are creative, collaborative, and full of potential. People with this kind of leader are inspired to become the best version of themselves and to produce their best work. In this “beautifully written page-turner” (Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School professor), Covey offers the solution to the future of work: where a dispersed workforce will be the norm, necessitating trust and collaboration across time zones, cultures, personalities, generations, and technology.

How the future works :leading flexible teams to do the best work of their livesby Brian Elliott, Sheela Subramanian, and Helen Kupp WileyThe way we work has changed. The era of toiling from nine-to-five, five-days-a-week in the office is now a relic of the past, and is being replaced by a better way—flexible work. But flexibility means a lot more than a day or two a week to “work from home”: 93% of your employees want more flexibility in when, not just where, they work. They want choice and they are leaving their roles to find it. The most successful leaders will go much further than offering occasional remote workdays—they will redesign every aspect of how work gets done, from defining how they measure organizational success to training their managers to make it happen.
This book offers a blueprint for using flexible work to unlock the potential of your people. The book offers the steps necessary to building the new principles and guardrails to empower flexible, high-performing teams. And it teaches readers to lead with purpose, to manage and measure differently, and to believe that by letting go, they’ll get more back than they thought possible.
LOVED :How to Rethink Marketing for Tech Productsby Martina Lauchengco WileyGood product marketing is the difference between products that lead their markets and those that go nowhere, yet it remains widely misunderstood.

The cold start problem :how to start and scale network effectsby Andrew Chen Harper Business
A startup executive and investor draws on expertise developed at the premier venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and as an executive at Uber to address how tech’s most successful products have solved the dreaded "cold start problem”—by leveraging network effects to launch and scale toward billions of users.
What exactly are network effects? How do teams create and build them into their products? How do products compete in a market where every player has them? Andrew Chen draws on his experience and on interviews with the CEOs and founding teams of LinkedIn, Twitch, Zoom, Dropbox, Tinder, Uber, Airbnb, and Pinterest to offer unique insights in answering these questions. Chen also provides practical frameworks and principles that can be applied across products and industries.
The Cold Start Problem reveals what makes winning networks thrive, why some startups fail to successfully scale, and, most crucially, why products that create and compete using the network effect are vitally important today.

经济
滕泰, 张海冰 著 中译出版社
通胀关系到国计民生,关系到社会安定。通胀一旦出现,长期代价不可避免。经过多年低通胀之后,全球通胀以新的形态卷土重来。美国等国家的消费者物价指数(CPI)创下近40年以来的新高,德国等国家的生产者价格指数(PPI)更是创70年来新高。世界各国面临的是长期通胀还是短期价格上扬?如何衡量货币冲击、供给冲击对经济增长动力和物价的影响?会不会在巨大的全球通胀“灰犀牛”背后,还跟着一只经济衰退的“黑天鹅”?全球通胀将对中国经济增长、生产者和消费者、资本和资产市场造成哪些影响?
本书生动描述了从各国货币超发、资产价格上涨、过剩产能吸收到全球物价上涨的传导过程,并从能源原材料供给冲击、劳动供给冲击、全球供应链冲击、微观价格形成机制变化等不同角度,对后疫情时代的全球物价与增长做出了全方位的深入分析。
(美) 卡尔•伯格斯特龙, 杰文•韦斯特 著; 胡小锐 译 中信出版社“用数据说话”是互联网时代的通用思维方式,有人说数据不会骗人,真的是这样吗?
让人看不懂的数据分析和神奇算法;莫名奇妙的数学方程;强行联系因果的统计学论文;某些新闻报道或PPT中花里胡哨的图表……我们都曾经或正在被这些东西蒙蔽,却往往毫无察觉,甚至乐在其中!
一些貌似可靠的数据来源,也可能藏着一本正经的胡说八道。比如TED演讲中的统计数字、《纽约时报》等媒体报道的大数据分析新算法、甚至是医学期刊中的诊断数据……虚假信息都有可能鱼目混珠,而你能分辨其中哪些是真正有用的信息,哪些只是胡扯吗?
对此,华盛顿大学专门开发了一门尚未开课即爆满的公开课,而这本书正是源自这门引发热议的课程。两位作者花了多年时间研究打着数学和统计学幌子的胡扯,犀利幽默地对它们分门别类一一剖析,帮助我们培养批判性思维,有效分析海量数据和观点,拆穿无用数据的精致伪装,在信息时代做个游刃有余的明白人。
(美) 威廉•诺德豪斯 著; 李志青, 李传轩, 李瑾 译 中信出版社诺奖得主威廉·诺德豪斯对环境经济学研究的集大成之作。该书对绿色思维进行了创新性诠释,为我们在不将环境负担留给后代的情况下推动经济繁荣发展提供了新思路。
绿色思维的核心是需要认识到,世界不是孤岛,全球化的世界充满各种各样的互动,而找到合适的方法管理这些互动是解决世界重大问题如气候灾难、大流行病等的关键。本书从绿色思维的角度重新思考了经济效率、可持续性、税收制度设计、个人伦理、企业社会责任、ESG投资以及社会公平等问题,还就如何为碳定价、推行低碳技术、设计有效的环境税以及通过气候俱乐部促进国际合作提供了具体的解决方案。
(英) 亚历克斯•爱德蒙斯 著 中国人民大学出版社传统的经济学理论认为,利润化就是企业存在的目的。本书建立了一个全新框架,说明并非如此。作者认为:分蛋糕思维甚至抢蛋糕思维负面影响非常大,让企业、个人和社会陷入零和博弈的陷阱中。抢蛋糕不如做大蛋糕。
为什么以利润化为目标,往往实现不了利润化?为什么致力于增进社会价值,往往会在不经意间实现巨大的利润?如何权衡取舍,实现商业价值和社会责任的双赢?
本书从经济学理论出发,用案例和强有力的论证,论述了企业如何确立宗旨、“做大蛋糕”,并说明,当企业以宗旨为导向、增进社会价值时,往往可以实现长期利润,收获长期成功。本书揭示了ESG(环境、社会和公司治理)投资的底层逻辑,能给企业管理者、投资者以及专家学者都带来很大的启发。

心理学
(美) 赖安•戈特弗雷森 著; 李恩宁 译 国际文化出版公司
人们往往坚信自己的心态已经形成,思考问题的方式无懈可击,自己认定的就是事实,从未有所质疑,更不会寻求改善。然而,心态是后天形成且不断变化的,面对同一个问题,不同的心态就会导致不同的认知和行为,终结果也会大不相同。
心态是心理能量的过滤器,是一个人生活、工作、看世界的心理基础。这只看不见、摸不着的无形船舵,正在无意识地把控着我们的人生方向。它塑造了我们的方方面面,而我们却毫无觉察。只有了解和感知到这些无意识的活动,才能更好地驾驶自己的人生航船。而忽视心态,就是在限制自己掌控人生的能力。
周丽瑗 著 人民邮电出版社每个人的成长都不会一帆风顺。那些大大小小的被忽视、被批评、被否定、被恶语相向的经历,甚至被霸凌、被躯体暴力的经历,如若没有得到及时有效的处理,都会在我们心里留下一些伤痛。这些不被看到的伤痛又会以各种意想不到的方式影响我们的生活。

Economics
Dignity in a digital age :making tech work for all of usby Ro Khanna Simon & Schuster
In the digital age, unequal access to technology and the revenue it creates is one of the most pressing issues facing the United States. There is an economic gulf between those who have struck gold in the tech industry and those left behind by the digital revolution; a geographic divide between those in the coastal tech industry and those in the heartland whose jobs have been automated; and existing inequalities in technological access—students without computers, rural workers with spotty WiFi, and plenty of workers without the luxury to work from home.
Dignity in the Digital Age tackles these challenges head-on and imagines how the digital economy can create opportunities for people all across the country without uprooting them. Congressman Ro Khanna of Silicon Valley offers a vision for democratizing digital innovation to build economically vibrant and inclusive communities. Instead of being subject to tech’s reshaping of our economy, Representative Khanna argues that we must channel those powerful forces toward creating a more healthy, equal, and democratic society.

The book discusses tactics for getting your foot in the door and then rising to the top of the food chain.

You’ll learn interview tips, techniques for mastering the social environment at work, and CYA strategies to protect yourself from unexpected setbacks. The author discusses how to read a room, in a virtual meeting or in real life, and why it’s more important than reading the prospectus. You’ll discover the importance of the “How,” as opposed to the “Why” and the “What,” and why success means doing the least amount of work for the most pay you can extract.

Management
Amp it up :leading for hypergrowth by raising expectations, increasing urgency, and elevating intensityby Frank Slootman Wiley
Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman is one of the tech world's most accomplished executives in enterprise growth, having led Snowflake to the largest software IPO ever after leading ServiceNow and Data Domain to exponential growth and the public market before that. In Amp It Up: Leading for Hypergrowth by Raising Expectations, Increasing Urgency, and Elevating Intensity, he shares his leadership approach for the first time.
Amp It Up delivers an authoritative look at what it takes to transform an organization for maximum growth and scale. Slootman shows that most leaders have significant room to improve their organization's performance without making expensive changes to their talent, structure, or fundamental business model—and they don’t need to bring in an army of consultants to do it. What they do need is to align people around what matters and execute with urgency and intensity every day.
Leading for unprecedented growth means declaring war on mediocrity, breaking the status quo, and making conflicted choices daily, all with a relentless focus on the mission. Amp It Up provides the first principles to guide that change, and the tactical advice for organizing a company around them.
CEO excellence :the six mindsets that distinguish the best leaders from the restby Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra ScribnerBeing a CEO at any of the world’s largest companies is among the most challenging roles in business. Billions, and even trillions, are at stake—and the fates of tens of thousands of employees often hang in the balance. Yet, even when “can’t miss” high-achievers win the top job, very few excel. Thirty percent of Fortune 500 CEOs last fewer than three years, and two out of five new CEOs are perceived to be failing within eighteen months.
For those who shoulder the burden of being the one on whom everyone counts, a manual for excellence is sorely needed.
To identify the 21st century’s best CEOs, the authors of CEO Excellence started with a pool of over 2400 public company CEOs. Extensive screening distilled that group into an elite corps, sixty-seven of whom agreed to in-depth, multi-hour interviews. Among those sharing their views: Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Kazuo Hirai (Sony), Ken Chenault (American Express), Mary Barra (GM), and Peter Brabeck-Letmathe (Nestlé).
Hearts touched with fire :how great leaders are madeDavid Gergen Simon & SchusterAs nations careen from one crisis to the next, there is a growing cry for fresh leadership. Those in charge have repeatedly fallen short, and trust in institutions has plummeted. So, what does great leadership look like? And how are great leaders made?
David Gergen, a leader in the public arena for more than half a century, draws from his experiences as a White House adviser to four presidents, his decades as a trusted voice on national issues, and years of teaching and mentoring young people to offer a stirring playbook for the next generation of change-makers.
To uncover the fundamental elements of effective leadership, Gergen traces the journeys of iconic leaders past and present, from pathbreakers like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Lewis, John McCain, and Harvey Milk to historic icons like Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill, and Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, to contemporary game changers like Greta Thunberg, the Parkland students, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Smart growth :how to grow your people to grow your companyby Whitney Johnson Harvard Business Review PressGrowth is the goal. Helping people develop their potential—enabling them to articulate and become the self they want to be, are capable of being, and that best serves them and others in the short and long term—is what we as individuals and leaders strive toward.
But how do we grow? It turns out it happens in a predictable way, which means we can understand where we are in our growth and chart a way forward. In this compact, complete guide, Whitney Johnson dives more deeply than ever into the S Curve of Learning so that you can envision how growth happens and direct yourself and others in your organization to create a culture that fosters it.
The growth and learning journey comes in three phases: the Launch Point, the Sweet Spot, and Mastery. Compelling examples of successful people will show you when and why growth is slow, how to keep going, what to do when growth and learning are almost too fast to keep up with, and how to leap from one growth journey to another.
Winning on purpose :the unbeatable strategy of loving customersby Fred Reichheld, Darci Darnell and Maureen Burns Harvard Business Review PressFew management ideas have spread so far and wide as the Net Promoter System (NPS). Since its conception almost two decades ago by customer loyalty guru Fred Reichheld, thousands of companies around the world have adopted it—from industrial titans such as Mercedes-Benz and Cummins to tech giants like Apple and Amazon to digital innovators such as Warby Parker and Peloton.
Now, Reichheld has raised the bar yet again. In Winning on Purpose, he demonstrates that the primary purpose of a business should be to enrich the lives of its customers. Why? Because when customers feel this love, they come back for more and bring their friends—generating good profits. This is NPS 3.0 and it puts a new take on the age-old Golden Rule—treat customers the way you would want a loved one treated—at the heart of enduring business success. As the compelling examples in this book illustrate, companies with superior NPS consistently deliver higher returns to shareholders across a wide array of industries.
How creativity rules the world :the art and business of turning your ideas into goldby Maria Brito HarperCollins LeadershipThere has never been a more crucial time than now to develop your creativity and your ability to innovate. Coming up with original ideas of value is today’s most precious skill.
How Creativity Rules the World shows that, despite contrary beliefs, creativity can be taught and learned by anyone. Creativity is an inexhaustible resource that is the key to thriving in the business world and beyond.

Converted :the data-driven way to win customers' heartsby Neil Hoyne Portfolio/PenguinWhen the world’s biggest brands want to sharpen their digital marketing strategy, they call Neil Hoyne – Google’s Chief Measurement Strategist and Senior Fellow at the Wharton School. In his first book, he offers a simple, research-backed playbook that anyone can use to find their best customers and develop relationships that last.
Under pressure for quick results and facing fierce marketplace competition, too many marketers are boxed into spaghetti-to-the-wall forms of digital marketing that limit the potential of their long hours, countless experiments, and warehouses of data. And in the end, they watch their competition sprint ahead.
But what if you built a business around long-term relationships with customers, using data to understand who they are, what they need, and where to find more customers just like them? You can. And you’ll leave your competitors, with all of their data and their short-term thinking, to poke around in the scraps.The Locker Room :How Great Teams Heal Hurt, Overcome Adversity, and Build Unityby Stephen Mackey and Damon West WileyIntegrity. Vision. Respect. For the most successful and unified teams, organizations, and families, core values like these are more than words—they are a way of living. But what happens when unforeseen conflict causes you to abandon the ideals you hold most tightly to? How do you find your way again? What does it take to restore trust, faith, and productivity?
In The Locker Room, Damon West and Stephen Mackey deliver an insightful and practical exploration of this kind of situation. The book tells the story of four characters—two coaches and two players—two of whom are Black and two of whom are white, who must deal with the fallout of an offensive comment made by one of the white student athletes.
After the comment destroys the unity of their previously productive locker room, the young athletes and their coaches must navigate the difficult realities of prejudice and privilege that affect the lives of people today. As they move forward in an attempt to heal the damage, the players and coaches discover strategies for gracefully communicating about—and dealing with—these difficult issues in ways that acknowledge the equal personhood of everyone in the conversation.
The Locker Room seeks to provide athletes, employees, managers, coaches, and leaders from all backgrounds the tools and techniques they need to give everyone an equal voice and an equal chance at success. It is an indispensable resource for those who seek to have the difficult conversations that lie at the heart of modern life.

文明的逻辑 :人类与风险的博弈陈志武 著 中信出版社
生产率和风险应对力是判断人类进步的两个关键维度,前者解决正常情况下的生活,而后者决定非常条件下的生存。在《文明的逻辑》一书中,作者以“人类与风险的博弈”历程为线索,使用数据量化分析和文献研究分析,通过人们所熟悉的创新、商业、金融等现象与历史,用翔实的数据与资料分析探讨文明演进背后的内在逻辑,创新性地提出衡量文明的新标尺——“风险应对力”(即应对风险的能力),以此来帮助我们更完整地解读人类文明化进程,为认识、发展人类社会文明提供独特视角。
疯狗浪 :如何应对突如其来的剧变(美) 乔纳森•布里尔 著; 诸葛雯 译 中信出版集团这是一本指导你如何在剧变中生存并获利的手册。它提供了大量的工具和方法,同时推动企业掌握适应变化的能力。你不必使用书中提到的所有工具和方法,也不必按照特定的顺序使用它们。但是在某些时候,你可能会发现它们都能派上用场。
企业首先要具备适应变化的“意识”,知道疯狗浪的强大破坏力以及为何它能使公司之船沉没,并了解将引发下一波疯狗浪的全球十大潜流。同时,企业要学会更早地发现疯狗浪并找到自身的脆弱之处,及时做出应对策略;即使无法把握恰当的时机,也要了解如何实施行动,限度地提高自己的抗风险能力。
在思维改变之后,企业也要做到 “行为改变”。 培养组织内部各个级别的员工,让他们掌握应对剧变的工具,这些工具将帮助企业为可能出现的未来,而非企业希望出现的未来做好准备。
向心城市 :迈向未来的活力陆铭 著 上海人民出版社这是上海交通大学安泰经济学院陆铭教授面向普通读者的学术普及读物,也是陆铭老师前作《大国大城》的姊妹篇。继《大国大城》向公众说明区域经济发展“在集聚中走向平衡”的规律之后,作者综合近几年的蕞新学术研究和调研成果,结合大数据所呈现出来的情况,说明了城市内部的发展规律,即随着服务业在GDP和就业中所占的比重会随着经济发展而越来越高;在“规模经济”的逻辑下,城市发展呈现出“人从农村集聚到城市,从小城市集聚到大城市,从城市的外围集聚到中心城区”的规律。这本书也同样引入“空间均衡”的概念,从“活力“宜居”“和谐”这三个城市发展所追求的目标出发,论述了在国家、地区、城乡、城区郊区等层次中,应该如何顺应“向心力”所塑造的普遍规律与趋势,进行规划与选择。
在本书中,作者强调,基于城市治理的很多方面都存在规模经济效应,那么人口密度高,不一定是城市治理问题的根源,反而可能是解决拥堵、污染等城市问题的出路。通过展开关于向心城市体系的论述,作者试图扭转社会公众对“城市”概念的认知误区和在城市治理方面的成见,使城市真正能够为人民需求而建、而生,真正实现 “创新之城”“生态之城”“人文之城”的三位一体,并进一步释放城市的经济活力,为经济发展创造制度红利。
失去的三十年 :平成日本经济史(日) 野口悠纪雄 著; 郭超敏 译 机械工业出版社作者亲历了日本战后发展的全过程,而且在大藏省的工作经历让他能够亲身经历其间日本经济运行的过程。同时,作为学者,作者见证了日本平成时代(1989年至2019年)的三十年间日本政府经济决策的失败。
2019年是平成时代结束的那一年,也是1990年日本泡沫经济崩溃后的第二十九年。安倍经济学虽然起初被寄予厚望,但积重难返,日本经济本质上没有丝毫的改变,而作者提出的“失去的三十年”基本上可以为平成时代的日本经济盖棺定论。
在经历了广场协议后的盲目贬值、激进的货币政策与泡沫经济崩溃以及政府的经济政策缺乏稳定性等一系列经济问题后,终于,有经济政策连续性的日本政府出现了,但此时的日本却又面临着严峻的老龄化、社会阶层固化以及制造业、高新产业凋敝等问题。与美国的贸易战、汇率战,以及少子化、老龄化、高新技术产业的扶植、制造业空心化,都是日本经历过的,也是今天和未来的中国正在和可能将要面对的。日本失去的三十年是不是我们未来的写照?我们又能从中吸取什么教训呢?

历史的发展趋势遵循相对狭隘的路径,仅在有限的范围内朝着一个方向发展。本书下卷重点梳理了英、德、日、美这四个大国工商业发展的历程,包括20世纪和21世纪初期商业全球化的发展,并预测了各自未来可能的发展趋势。

管理
张维迎 著 海南出版社
“企业家”是张维迎教授自1984年以来经济学研究的核心。不同于主流经济学中的市场均衡假设,作者经济学中的市场是不确定的、变动的,市场决策不是既定约束条件下的求解,而是改变约束条件本身,这就决定了企业家在市场理论中的核心地位。由此,作者讨论了企业家决策的心智模式,分析了企业家的两种主要职能,概述了以企业家为中心的“斯密-熊彼特增长模型”,并以此模型分析了中国过去几十年经济的增长。
这不是存在于理论中的经济学,而是真实市场下的经济学。对于如何认识经济学理论、市场经济与资源配置,作者总能给出犀利的论断与直指问题核心的路径。这些立足于理论又回归现实的分析,不仅是写给在市场中做决策的企业家的,也是写给任何一个想要了解真实的市场和经济发展趋势的普通读者的。
从报表看企业 :数字背后的秘密张新民 著 电子工业出版社与前三版一样,本书向读者展示了一个全新的分析框架———通过对财务报表的 “八看”来满足企业管理者的需求。 “八看”的全部内容来自我为期四天的EMBA “企业财务报表分析”课堂教学的精华。
与第3版相比,第4版的主要变化有:
1. 更新了大量案例。本书的案例除了保留极个别有代表性的原有案例外,增加了很多新的企业案例,且多数企业的数据是2020年刚刚发布的。既限度地保留了本书 “接地气”的传统风格,还向读者展示了本书分析框架的强大生命力。
2. 将披露的企业财务信息对财务报表分析的影响融入本书。自第3版出版至2020年季度,上市公司披露的财务报表出现了应收款项融资、研发费用、利息费用等新的项目和披露内容,本书在分析中包括了上述对财务报表分析影响的内容,从而为新的财务报表分析提供了必要的工具。
3. 对多个章节进行了彻底改写,重点强化了战略分析、并购对企业实质性影响的分析、成本决定机制分析以及风险分析等关键内容。改写后的内容融入了作者过去几年在财务报表分析方面的新探索和新思路。
本书不是一本教材,但适合各类学习财务报表分析的人士使用。

历史
漫长的余生 :一个北魏宮女和她的时代罗新 著 北京日报出版社
公元466年,宋明帝刘彧与在寻阳称帝的侄子刘子勋二帝并立,内战几乎波及刘宋全境,继而演变为与北魏之间的战争。生于南朝中层官僚家庭的王钟儿,被迫卷入,家破人亡,两年后被掠为平城宫的普通宫女,时年三十岁。可是,她的命运却偶然地与“子贵母死”制度发生了联系,意外卷入权力斗争的漩涡,先后以宫女和比丘尼的身份成为抚育两代皇帝的关键人物,竟在北魏宫廷生活了五十六年之久。
罗新教授利用墓志等史料讲述了王钟儿漫长而又跌宕起伏的一生,并以她的眼睛去看她身处其中的时代,把皇帝、后妃、外戚、朝臣、宦官和宫女都还原为具体的人,看到他们面对权力时的喜悦、疑惧、张狂、绝望……随着王钟儿人生故事展开的,还有从献文帝、孝文帝到宣武帝、孝明帝近八十年的北魏历史,当然也有被时代的惊涛骇浪席卷的许许多多人。我们关注遥远时代的普通人,是因为他们是真实历史的一部分,没有他们,历史就是不完整、不真切的。
关羽 :由凡入神的历史与想象(荷) 田海 著; 王健, 尹薇, 闫爱萍, 屈啸宇 译 新星出版社跟随荷兰汉学家,重返历史现场,纵览关羽成神之路。
219年,关羽败走,后为吴军所俘,被杀,此后被尊为关公或关帝,成为不亚于观音的重要神祇,至今仍受民间敬奉。作者从时间和空间两个维度追溯了关公崇拜的历史性演变:从早期惨遭横死的饿鬼,到骁勇善战的护法恶魔、驱邪将军,及至后来的雨神、财神和文士之神,甚至全能救世主形象……在关羽的多重面相中,每种形象的形成和发展都有特定的历史环境,包括佛道教力量的介入、特定地方群体的参与、王权和国家力量的形塑等,但归根结底,关羽信仰兴起于口头文化,而非大多数研究主张的三国叙事传统。正如作者自己反复提到的,《关羽:由凡入神的历史与想象》为“对口头文化在一个文字变得越来越重要的世界中如何保持巨大作用的研究”,作者结合大量史料和遗迹,甚至田野调查得来的一手资料,对背后的文化机制进行了详尽考察,也对其代表的中国传统文化与文脉进行了梳理,其中格外突出了口头信息交互在形象建构与传播中的作用。
从巴格达到伊斯坦布尔 :历史视野下的中东大变局昝涛 著 中信出版社中东,人类文明的摇篮。这里诞生了古老的美索不达米亚文明和埃及文明,孕育了基督教、伊斯兰教和犹太教三大宗教,成就了阿拉伯帝国、波斯帝国和奥斯曼帝国等伟大帝国的辉煌。然而如今,中东却成了动荡和战乱的代名词。宗教冲突和战争频发,民众抗议此起彼伏,恐怖主义肆虐。文明的摇篮如何变成了混乱的温床?
在《从巴格达到伊斯坦布尔:历史视野下的中东大变局》中,北京大学历史学系专攻中东研究20多年的昝涛老师,将为您揭开中东乱局的真相,探讨中东动荡的根源。全书从历史的视角切入,先是回顾了阿拉伯文明、波斯文明和奥斯曼—土耳其文明给当代中东留下的遗产,然后从不同角度观察中东五个大国的现状:伊朗,在经历了“伊斯兰革命”之后,仍在改革派和保守派的拉扯下动荡不断;伊拉克,经过被美国主导的重建,前途依旧不甚明朗;埃及,经历了两次革命的冲击,竟又回到了军人主政的原点;叙利亚,在各大国的干预下,胶着了十年的内战还是看不到尽头;土耳其,在埃尔多安和正发党的长期执政下,开始怀抱着“新奥斯曼主义”去追逐自己的“大国梦”。
(英) 克里斯托弗•道森 著; 武可 译 上海书店出版社本书是当代著名的文化哲学家、历史学家和文化史学家克里斯托弗•道森的代表作。全书包括两大部分:第一部分为面向一种历史社会学。从文化发展、进步理论、文明和道德的关系、艺术和社会的关系、文化极性等方面阐明历史学的社会学基础;以文明的生命力、好战族群和古文明衰落、古典文明的起源、历史上的父权制家庭等为例说明世界历史的变迁;从现代城市的演变、资产阶级精神、世界危机和英国传统的关系等方面分析城市和文化的有机属性。第二部分为世界历史的观念。一方面侧重从历史哲学角度阐明基督教对西方历史观念的贡献;另一方面则从史学史出发,以吉本的《罗马帝国盛衰史》、威尔斯的《世界史纲》、斯宾格勒的《西方的没落》、汤因比的《历史研究》等为例,解读基督教的历史观念对西方史学发展的影响。

In Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio :The Stories, Voices, and Key Insights of the Pioneers Who Shaped the Way We Investby Andrew W. Lo and Stephen R. Foerster Princeton University Press
Is there an ideal portfolio of investment assets, one that perfectly balances risk and reward? In Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio examines this question by profiling and interviewing ten of the most prominent figures in the finance world―Jack Bogle, Charley Ellis, Gene Fama, Marty Leibowitz, Harry Markowitz, Bob Merton, Myron Scholes, Bill Sharpe, Bob Shiller, and Jeremy Siegel. We learn about the personal and intellectual journeys of these luminaries―which include six Nobel Laureates and a trailblazer in mutual funds―and their most innovative contributions. In the process, we come to understand how the science of modern investing came to be. Each of these finance greats discusses their idea of a perfect portfolio, offering invaluable insights to today’s investors.
Inspiring such monikers as the Bond Guru, Wall Street’s Wisest Man, and the Wizard of Wharton, these pioneers of investment management provide candid perspectives, both expected and surprising, on a vast array of investment topics―effective diversification, passive versus active investment, security selection and market timing, foreign versus domestic investments, derivative securities, nontraditional assets, irrational investing, and so much more. While the perfect portfolio is ultimately a moving target based on individual age and stage in life, market conditions, and short- and long-term goals, the fundamental principles for success remain constant.

Let's Talk :Make Effective Feedback Your Superpowerby Therese Huston PortfolioHow are you supposed to tell someone that they're not meeting expectations without crushing their spirit? Regular feedback, when delivered skillfully, can turn average performers into the hardest workers and stars into superstars. Yet many see it as an awkward chore: Recent studies have revealed 37% of managers dread giving feedback, and 65% of employees wish their managers gave more feedback.
This trail-blazing new model eliminates the guesswork. Dr. Therese Huston, the founding director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Seattle University, discovered that the key to being listened to is to listen. First, find out what kind of feedback an employee wants most: appreciation, coaching, or evaluation. If they crave one, they'll be more receptive once their need has been satisfied.
