"In my experience,the two things humans want most are to find happiness and to find meaning,"Izzo writes.In this ready-made spiritual quest,the business consultant and ordained Presbyterian minister interviewed more than 200 people from ages 60 to 106.The answers they received led him and his team to the belief that there are five secrets to happiness.Izzo's interviewees were selected after relatives and friends submitted their names as wise people with something to teach.The list was narrowed from 1,000 names to a diverse group that includes men and women,Muslims and Christians,doctors,barbers,priests,and aboriginal people. Throughout the book,Izzo presents each lesson with heartfelt responses and anecdotes from these wise elders to illustrate how living each lesson has made them fulfilled and unafraid of death."Just be yourself" has been the advice of every parent since Polonius.Izzo found that the simple phrase,"be true to yourself," is the first secret.Seventy-two-year-old Elsa told the author,"In o

Galbraith's classic on the "economics of abundance" is, in thewords of the New York Times, "a compelling challenge toconventional thought." With customary clarity, eloquence, andhumor, Galbraith cuts to the heart of what economic security means(and doesn't mean) in today's world and lays bare the hazards ofindividual and societal complacence about economic inequity. While"affluent society" and "conventional wisdom" (first used in thisbook) have entered the vernacular, the message of the book has notbeen so widely embraced--reason enough to rediscover The AffluentSociety.

In the classroom, ABC looks like a great way to manage acompany’s resources. But many executives who have tried toimplement ABC on a large scale in their organizations have foundthe approach limiting and frustrating. Why? The employee surveysthat companies used to estimate resources required for businessactivities proved too time-consuming, expensive, and irritating toemployees. This book shows you how to implement time-driven activity-basedcosting (TDABC), an easier and more powerful way to implement ABC.You can now estimate directly the resource demands imposed by eachbusiness transaction, product, or customer. The payoff? You spendless time and money obtaining and maintaining TDABC data—and moretime addressing problems that TDABC reveals, such as inefficientprocesses, unprofitable products and customers, and excesscapacity. The authors also show how to use TDABC to link strategicplanning to operational budgeting, to enhance the due diligenceprocess for mergers and acquisitions, and to supp

This book explains how changing technology and economizingbehaviour induce vast changes in productivity, resource allocation,labour utilization, and patterns of living. Economic growth is seenas a process by which businesses, regimes, countries, and the wholeworld pass through distinct epochs, each one emerging from itspredecessor, each one creating the conditions for its successor.Viewed from a long-run perspective, growth must be characterized asan explosive process, marked by turbulent transitions in social andpolitical life as societies adapt to new opportunities, the demiseof old ways of living, and to the vast increase and redistributionof human populations. The book is based on a synthesis of classicaleconomics and contemporary concepts of adaptation and economicevolution. Although it is based on analytical methods, the text hasbeen stripped of all equations and with few exceptions is devoid oftechnical jargon.

In The Great Shame, Thomas Keneally--the bestselling, BookerPrize-winning author of Schindler's List--combines the authority ofa brilliant historian and the narrative grace of a great novelistto present a gripping account of the Irish diaspora. The nineteenth century saw Ireland lose half of its population tofamine, emigration, or deportation to penal colonies inAustralia--often for infractions as common as stealing food. Amongthe victims of this tragedy were Thomas Keneally's own forebearers,and they were his inspiration to tell the story of the Irish whostruggled and ultimately triumphed in Australia and North America.Relying on rare primary sources--including personal letters, courttran*s, ship manifests, and military documents--Keneallyoffers new and important insights into the impact of the Irish inexile. The result is a vivid saga of heroes and villains, fromGreat Famine protesters to American Civil War generals to greatorators and politicians.

Why do so many global strategies fail—despite companies’ powerful brands and other border-crossing advantages? Seduced by market size, the illusion of a borderless, “flat” world, and the allure of similarities, firms launch one-size-fits-all strategies. But cross-border differences are larger than we often assume, explains Pankaj Ghemawat in Redefining Global Strategy. Most economic activity—including direct investment, tourism, and communication—happens locally, not internationally. In this “semiglobalized” world, one-size-fits-all strategies don’t stand a chance. Companies must instead reckon with cross-border differences. Ghemawat shows you how—by providing tools for: Assessing the cultural, administrative, geographic, and economic differences between countries at the industry level and deciding which ones merit attention. Tracking the implications of particular border-crossing moves for your company’s ability to create value. Creating superior perfo

In this incisive and controversial expos of the hidden effects of today's free-market capitalism, Edward Luttwak describes in powerful detail how it vastly differs from the controlled capitalism that flourished from 1945 to the 1980s. Turbo-capitalism is private enterprise liberated from government regulation, unchecked by effective trade unions, unfettered by concerns for employees or communities, and unhindered by taxation or investment restrictions. The winners in this free-for-all are getting much richer, while the losers are becoming poorer and are forced by downsizing to take the traditional jobs of the underclass. Led by the United States, closely followed by Britain, turbo-capitalism is spreading fast throughout Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world without the two great forces that check its enormous power in the United States: a powerful Legal system and the stringent rules of American calvinism. Luttwak exposes the major societal upheavals and inequities turbo-capitalism causes and the broad dis
