Bad Blood offers the complete inside story behind Theranos—the Silicon Valley health technology company involved in the largest case of corporate fraud since Enron. It was written by Pulitzer Prize winner John Carreyrou, the journalist who continued to fight for the truth in the face of great adversity. Back in 2014, the charismatic Elizabeth Holmes, founder and CEO of Theranos, was widely considered as the female counterpart of Steve Jobs. She was a teenage Stanford dropout who had established a startup whose ambitious claim was to develop cutting-edge technology capable of revolutionizing the present blood testing systems in the medical industry. Prominent figures such as Tim Draper and Larry Ellison had invested on Theranos, which once reached a valuation of $9 billion after selling shares in a fundraising round. At this point, Elizabeth Holmes’ net worth was estimated to be around $4.7 billion. All eyes were on Elizabeth Holmes and her company, but the main problem was yet to be solved: Theranos’ technology was a fraud. Wait no more, take action and get this book now!

This was the biggest investment of his career. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy, and great ambitions—but they had no real business plan. To change the world or even simply survive, Google had to make strong choices on priorities while keeping their team on track. They needed to know when to pull the plug or even fail fast. They needed timely, relevant data to monitor their progress—to measure what mattered. Doerr helped them with a proven approach to operating excellence: Objectives and Key Results. He discovered OKRs in the 1970s when he was an engineer at Intel, where Andy Grove, the greatest manager of his era, drove the amazingly run company. As a venture capitalist, Doerr shared Grove’s brainchild with more than fifty companies and whenever it was faithfully practiced, it worked. Objectives define what we want to achieve while key results are about how those goals will be attained through specific, measurable actions within a set time frame. Everyone’s goals—from entry-level to CEO are transparent to the whole company. Its benefits are profound as OKRs help with an organization’s most important work—they focus their effort and foster coordination. They help keep employees on track and they link objectives across teams to strengthen the entire company. OKRs eventually also improve workplace satisfaction and employee retention. Doerr shares a broad range of in-depth look into various companies including the Gates Foundation and Bono to show the focus, agility, and explosive growth that OKRs have created in the leading organizations. This book will create a new generation of leaders that capture the same magic. Wait no more, take action and get this book now!

This is the saga of Bill Browder who started out his adult life as a financial maverick leading him to Russia at the time just after the breakup of the Soviet Union where he started to achieve his fortune.

He went to extreme lengths in order to expose the murderous heart of the Putin regime and it was because of that the he became Putin’s number one enemy, especially after Browder had successfully campaigned to pass a law in the United States—the Magnitsky Act—punishing a list of Russians implicated in the lawyer’s murder. A crime thriller, a political crusade, and a financial caper, Red Notice shares the story of how one man overcame powerful odds just to change the world as well as, without meaning to, found his purpose in life.

He shares the story of a man who faced all challenges in order to create and inspire newborn America. Historian, Joseph Ellis, Alexander Hamilton is “a robust full-length portrait, in my view the best ever written, of the most brilliant, charismatic, and dangerous founder of them all.” Of all the founding figures in American history, Alexander has been the most hotly debated and grossly misunderstood. Chernow’s biography sets the information straight in creating a picture of how Hamilton had countless sacrifices in order to make political, financial, and economic changes to achieve the greatness that America is today. Chernow shares the early life of Hamilton from an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, taking America by storm and rising to George Washington’s side in the Continental Army, founding the Bank of New York, and becoming the Treasury Secretary of the United States. It has been a longstanding view that America’s birth had been the triumph of Jefferson, but Chernow creates a whole new perspective from a man whose great vision was motivated not merely by self-interest but by a passion for patriotism and a stubborn will to create the foundations of American greatness. The biography by Chernow illustrates a more humanistic view of Hamilton—from his birth, intimate relationships, and feuds to his publicized affair to his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza. Never before had there been a more poignant and vivid account of Hamilton’s famous and mysterious death in a duel with Aaron Burr in July 1804. Not only does the book provide a portrait of Hamilton and his life, but the story of the birth of America around the lives of its most central figures. Alexander Hamilton’s life reminds the readers of the purpose and vision behind the American heritage. Wait no more, take action and get this book now!

They are those who would rather listen than speak; who prefer working in solitude than in teams; who create and innovate but aren’t as inclined to promote themselves. Steve Wozniak, Dr. Seuss, Chopin, and Rosa Parks are only some of the names of the introverts who have moved the world. Author Susan Cain claims that introverts are terribly undervalued in society. Beginning from the 20th century, Cain traces the rise of the Extrovert Ideal and discovers how deep it has been embedded in our culture. In Quiet, she introduces us to introverts who have found success in life (despite being told otherwise)—from a clever and spirited public speaker who retreats into solitude once his talks are over, to a trailblazing salesman who has found power in asking questions. Quiet is written with passion, its arguments supported by thorough research and experiences by people in the real world. It contains the power to reframe society’s view of introverts for the better, and just as important—if not more—introverts’ view of themselves. Wait no more, take action and get this book now!
