Title: Warren and Bill: Gates, Buffett and the Friendship that Changed the World Author: Anthony McCarten Narrator: George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 19 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: From the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter of The Theory of Everything, Darkest Hour, and The Two Popes comes the fascinating account of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett’s friendship—one of the most impactful relationships in history, and the basis of an upcoming play and film. Few friendships have had such far-reaching implications for the world—from finance to technology to philanthropy—than that between Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. After meeting at a party in 1991, the two played cards and golf, shared jokes, swapped trade secrets, ate junk food, talked and listened. Their growing friendship would impact each man and lead to change on a grander scale, culminating in the development of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which holds nearly $50 billion in assets. How did such an unusual union blossom? In what ways specifically did each man begin to influence the other? How did these two avid wealth accumulators jointly decide to address some of the world’s most critical problems—poverty, disease, inequality—by giving their wealth away? And what, finally, does their giga-wealthy partnership mean for the rest of us in an age of great wealth—and great inequality? This book gives the fullest account yet of this extraordinary relationship and explores how it has transformed these two men—and is changing the world for the better for all of us.

Title: [Spanish] - Disrupción: Mi desventura en la burbuja de las startups Author: Dan Lyons, Violeta Arranz (translator) Narrator: Germán Gijón Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: December 14, 2022 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: 'Con tono desdeñoso e hilarante, Lyons expone lo ridículas y derrochadoras que pueden ser las startups.'—TheNew York Times 'Una aguda mirada a una cultura empresarial que parece construida sobre arenas movedizas financieras.'—Los Angeles Times 'Un apasionante derribo de la burbuja de las startups y su juvenil cultura corporativa.'—Kirkus Review Durante veinticinco años, Dan Lyons fue redactor de Newsweek. Hasta que un viernes por la mañana recibió una llamada: su trabajo ya no existía. Había que contratar a gente más joven. Con cincuenta años, esposa y dos niños pequeños, estaba jodido. Pero le vino una idea a la cabeza: había escrito mucho sobre Silicon Valley y la explosión tecnológica, ¿por qué no sumarse a ella? Fue así como decidió contactar con HubSpot, una startup de Boston, que acabó haciéndole una buena oferta en acciones a cambio de que aceptase un extraño papel: «asociado de marketing». ¿Qué podía salir mal? Los HubSpotters eran verdaderos creyentes: estaban haciendo del mundo un lugar mejor… vendiendo spam. El ambiente de la oficina era una mezcla de fraternidad universitaria y secta: las fiestas duraban hasta bien entrada la noche, las duchas servían para tener sexo, un 'club de flexiones' se reunía a mediodía en el vestíbulo, mientras en la 'fábrica de contenidos' otros jugaban a pegarse tiros en un videojuego. Y en medio de todo esto estaba Lyons, con el doble de edad del empleado promedio de HubSpot, sentado ante el escritorio, sobre una pelota hinchable que se suponía que era su silla. Pero este libro va más allá de HubSpot. Es una historia sobre lo que significa reinventarse y empezar una nueva carrera a los cincuenta años, en una industria hostil a los trabajadores mayores.

Title: Kick Up Some Dust: Lessons on Thinking Big, Giving Back, and Doing It Yourself Author: Bernie Marcus Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 33 minutes Release date: October 18, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A candid, rollicking business memoir from the Home Depot cofounder, filled with personal stories, savvy business advice, and timeless lessons for a life well lived ''A classic Cinderella story of the American dream fulfilled, told with humor and honesty.'' — GARY SINISE ''An extraordinary story. ... [Tells] Marcus's version of the American dream, from tenement to boardroom, homespun into lessons for readers wanting to make it in business or philanthropy.'' — Financial Times The start of Home Depot sounds like the beginning of a bad joke: Two Jews and an Italian decide to build a new kind of hardware store... In 1978, Bernie Marcus's livelihood depended on just such a scenario. Having been fired at the age of forty-nine, he teamed up with Arthur Blank and Ken Langone on a bold new endeavor. Their first day in business was so disastrous that the next morning, Marcus's wife wouldn't let him shave because she didn't want a razor in his hands. But the last laugh would be theirs, as the business partners grew Home Depot into the world's largest home improvement retailer, empowering millions of Americans to ''do it yourself.'' ''Doing it yourself'' has been the theme of Bernie Marcus's entire life. By the time he was fifteen, he had held more than a dozen jobs, joined a gang, and worked as a hypnotist in the Catskills. The son of a cabinetmaker and garment worker who survived the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, Bernie overcame a hardscrabble upbringing to author one of the best entrepreneurial stories in American history. Today, Home Depot employs 500,000 associates at 2,300 stores and is one of the most recognized and admired companies in the world. The same energy that made Home Depot successful has helped Bernie give away more than $2 billion and pioneer a new model for philanthropy, transforming millions of lives. There is no single, winning formula for trying to make the world a better place, but Bernie shares what he's learned—that the skills needed to build a Fortune 500 company are the same ones that can help cure cancer, treat veterans with PTSD, and transform autism treatment. And it doesn't take a fortune to make a big difference in your community. Kick Up Some Dust will inspire you to dream, build, and give—and, maybe, change the world.

Title: Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence Author: Ken Auletta Narrator: Jonathan Coleman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 42 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A vivid biography of Harvey Weinstein—how he rose to become a dominant figure in the film world, how he used that position to feed his monstrous sexual appetites, and how it all came crashing down, from the author who has covered the Hollywood and media power game for The New Yorker for three decades Twenty years ago, Ken Auletta wrote an iconic New Yorker profile of the Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was then at the height of his powers. The profile made waves for exposing how volatile, even violent, Weinstein was to his employees and collaborators. But there was a much darker story that was just out of reach: rumors had long swirled that Weinstein was a sexual predator. Auletta confronted Weinstein, who denied the claims. Since no one was willing to go on the record, Auletta and the magazine concluded they couldn’t close the case. Years later, he was able to share his reporting notes and knowledge with Ronan Farrow; he cheered as Farrow, and Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, finally revealed the truth.   Still, the story continued to nag him. The trail of assaults and cover-ups had been exposed, but the larger questions remained: What was at the root of Weinstein’s monstrousness? How, and why, was it never checked? Why the silence? How does a man run the day-to-day operations of a company with hundreds of employees and revenues in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and at the same time live a shadow life of sexual predation without ever being caught? How much is this a story about Harvey Weinstein, and how much is this a story about Hollywood and power?   In pursuit of the answers, Auletta digs into Weinstein’s life, searching for the mysteries beneath a film career unparalleled for its extraordinary talent and creative success, which combined with a personal brutality and viciousness to leave a trail of ruined lives in its wake. Hollywood Ending is more than a prosecutor’s litany; it is an unflinching examination of Weinstein's life and career, embedding his crimes in the context of the movie business, in his failures and the successes that led to enormous power. Film stars, Miramax employees and board members, old friends and family, and even the person who knew him best—Harvey’s brother, Bob—all talked to Auletta at length. Weinstein himself also responded to Auletta’s questions from prison. The result is not simply the portrait of a predator but of the power that allowed Weinstein to operate with such impunity for so many years, the spiderweb in which his victims found themselves trapped.

Author: Phil Barker Narrator: Phil Barker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 20 minutes Release date: May 31, 2022 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: Axed charts the dramatic decline of the magazine industry in Australia from the million-selling highs of the 1990s to the recent round of mergers, closures and mass-redundancies. What went wrong? Australian magazines once boasted the highest circulation per capita in the world. Former magazine editor Phil Barker follows the story from this golden age to today, showing how mismanagement, unchecked spending and the challenge presented by the rise of the internet all combined to undermine the previously unassailable position magazines held in the Australian consciousness. Prominent magazine executives and editors who witnessed the industry’s decline and failure to capitalise on digital opportunities have gone on the record for the first time. Featuring in-depth analysis of archival reporting and brand-new interviews with key players, Axed lifts the lid on the scandals behind the industry’s swan dive. But Phil also talks to the people who have managed to pivot in a fast-moving media landscape and believe magazines are a part of Australia’s future.

Title: After Steve: How Apple became a Trillion-Dollar Company and Lost Its Soul Author: Tripp Mickle Narrator: Will Damron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 41 minutes Release date: May 12, 2022 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: From the Wall Street Journal’s Tripp Mickle, the dramatic, untold story inside Apple after the passing of Steve Jobs by following his top lieutenants—Jony Ive, the Chief Design Officer, and Tim Cook, the COO-turned-CEO—and how the fading of the former and the rise of the latter led to Apple losing its soul. Steve Jobs called Jony Ive his “spiritual partner at Apple.” The London-born genius was the second-most powerful person at Apple and the creative force who most embodies Jobs’s spirit, the man who designed the products adopted by hundreds of millions the world over: the iPod, iPad, MacBook Air, the iMac G3, and the iPhone. In the wake of his close collaborator’s death, the chief designer wrestled with grief and initially threw himself into his work designing the new Apple headquarters and the Watch before losing his motivation in a company increasingly devoted more to margins than to inspiration. In many ways, Cook was Ive’s opposite. The product of a small Alabama town, he had risen through the ranks from the supply side of the company. His gift was not the creation of new products. Instead, he had invented countless ways to maximize a margin, squeezing some suppliers, persuading others to build factories the size of cities to churn out more units. He considered inventory evil. He knew how to make subordinates sweat with withering questions. Jobs selected Cook as his successor, and Cook oversaw a period of tremendous revenue growth that has lifted Apple’s valuation to $3 trillion. He built a commanding business in China and rapidly distinguished himself as a master politician who could forge global alliances and send the world’s stock market into freefall with a single sentence. Author Tripp Mickle spoke with more than 200 current and former Apple executives, as well as figures key to this period of Apple’s history, including Trump administration officials and fashion luminaries such as Anna Wintour while writing After Steve. His research shows the company’s success came at a cost. Apple lost its innovative spirit and has not designed a new category of device in years. Ive’s departure in 2019 marked a culmination in Apple’s shift from a company of innovation to one of operational excellence, and the price is a company that has lost its soul.

Sara says that 'good storytelling is the key to making sales'. In We Can All Make It she proves just what a great storyteller she is. © Sara Davies 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

Title: [Spanish] - Teoría optimista del fracaso: Un relato sobre el arte de saber tropezar Author: Ignasi Giró Narrator: Rafa Parra Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 16 minutes Release date: April 27, 2022 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: ¿Puede un fracaso convertirse en éxito o un éxito acabar en fracaso? El primer postulado que encontrarás en este libro desafía lo que solemos dar por sentado. De allí que se trate de una teoría 'optimista'. Ignasi Giró, que se define a sí mismo como un 'físico creativo' que explora las fascinantes combinaciones entre tecnología, diseño y empatía, nos relata, por ejemplo, cómo un documental fallido se convirtió en un invento que dio la vuelta al mundo. Con lucidez y una buena dosis de humor, un despido, una ruptura amorosa o un concierto sin público se convierten en valiosas oportunidades de aprendizaje. En el mismo instante en que un universo de posibilidades desaparece, otro emerge con incontables nuevos caminos por explorar. A través de breves anécdotas personales, algunas dolorosas y otras desopilantes, Ignasi extrae enseñanzas que transforma en un singular arte de vivir y nos inspira a tropezar con menos miedos y más sonrisas. Extracto del libro: 'Ley Universal de la Relatividad del Fracaso: Los fracasos y los éxitos no son sucesos invariables, sino relativos: dependen del sistema de referencia, del punto del espacio-tiempo desde el que se miren. Todo suceso que en un lugar y un momento dado tiene la apariencia de un fracaso, podrá muy bien tener la apariencia de un éxito al ser observado desde otro lugar o momento. Cuando nos sentimos fracasados, es imperativo seguir moviéndonos (en el espacio y en el tiempo) hasta encontrar el sistema de referencia desde el cual ese aparente fracaso vire hacia percepciones más luminosas.'

Title: Nazi Billionaires: The Dark History of Germany’s Wealthiest Dynasties Author: David De Jong Narrator: Michael David Axtell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 54 minutes Release date: April 19, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: ‘Lucid and damning … an absorbing – and infuriating – tale of complicity, coverup and denial’ PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE, author of EMPIRE OF PAIN A groundbreaking investigation of how the Nazis helped German tycoons make billions from the horrors of the Third Reich and World War II – and how the world allowed them to get away with it. In 1946, Günther Quandt – patriarch of Germany’s most iconic industrial empire, a dynasty that today controls BMW – was arrested for suspected Nazi collaboration. Quandt claimed that he had been forced to join the party by his arch-rival, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and the courts acquitted him. But Quandt lied. And his heirs, and those of other Nazi billionaires, have only grown wealthier in the generations since, while their reckoning with this dark past remains incomplete at best. Many of them continue to control swaths of the world economy, owning iconic brands whose products blanket the globe. The brutal legacy of the dynasties that dominated Daimler-Benz, cofounded Allianz and still control Porsche, Volkswagen and BMW has remained hidden in plain sight – until now. In this landmark work, investigative journalist David de Jong reveals the true story of how Germany’s wealthiest business dynasties amassed untold money and power by abetting the atrocities of the Third Reich. Using a wealth of untapped sources, de Jong shows how these tycoons seized Jewish businesses, procured slave labourers and ramped up weapons production to equip Hitler’s army as Europe burnt around them. Most shocking of all, de Jong exposes how the wider world’s political expediency enabled these billionaires to get away with their crimes, covering up a bloodstain that defiles the German and global economy to this day.

Title: Happy at Any Cost: The Revolutionary Vision and Fatal Quest of Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh Author: Kirsten Grind Narrator: Raymond J. Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 11 minutes Release date: March 15, 2022 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: From award-winning Wall Street Journal reporters, “a startling portrait of one of our greatest tech visionaries, Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh” (Robert Kolker, author of Hidden Valley Road), reporting on his short life, untimely death, and what that means for our pursuit of happiness. Tony Hsieh—CEO of Zappos, Las Vegas developer, and beloved entrepreneur—was famous for spreading happiness. He lived and breathed this philosophy, instilling an ethos of joy at his company, outlining his vision for a better workplace in his New York Times bestseller Delivering Happiness. He promoted a workplace where bosses treated employees like family members, where stress was replaced by playfulness, and where hierarchies were replaced with equality and collaboration. His outlook shaped how we work today. Hsieh also aspired to build his own utopian cities, pouring millions of dollars into real estate and small businesses, first in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada—where Zappos is headquartered—and then in Park City, Utah. He gave generously to his employees and close friends, including throwing notorious Zappos parities and organizing gatherings at his home, an Airstream trailer park. When Hsieh died suddenly in late 2022, the news shook the business and tech world. Wall Street Journal reporters Kirsten Grind and Katherine Sayre discovered Hsieh’s obsession with happiness masked his darker struggles with addiction, mental health, and loneliness. In the last year of his life, he spiraled out of control, cycling out of rehab and into the waiting arms of friends who enabled his worst behavior, even as he bankrolled them from his billion-dollar fortune. Happy at Any Cost sheds light on one of our most creative, yet vulnerable, business leaders. It’s about our intense need to find “happiness” at all costs, our misguided worship of entrepreneurs, the stigmas still surrounding mental health, and how the trappings of fame can mask all types of deeper problems. In turn, it reveals how we conceptualize success—and define happiness—in our modern age.

Ryan Narrator: Charles Ray Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 11 minutes Release date: January 25, 2022 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: Prepare to be inspired by the story of Delane Parnell, the unlikeliest of CEOs now leading a gaming empire at the center of the booming, multibillion-dollar esports industry. This audiobook edition includes an exclusive interview between the author and Delane! Delane Parnell is not your typical tech entrepreneur. He was raised in a gang-riddled neighborhood on Detroit’s west side, bouncing between homes as his mother tried to make ends meet. Many of his closest friends and family members ended up in jail or dead. This makes it even more incredible that Delane became the 25-year-old founder and CEO of PlayVS, a Los Angeles company that is forever changing the gaming landscape in America. In 2018, esports—team-based competitive video gaming—became an officially sanctioned high school sport, meaning student gamers can now earn varsity letters just like their basketball and volleyball player peers. Delane’s startup is making that happen, providing the infrastructure that hosts the competitions, compiles the statistics, organizes playoff tournaments, and streams state championships for tens of thousands of students across the country. Ahead of the Game is a deeply reported narrative that tells the story of Delane, the motley group of underdogs and hustlers that helped build his several-hundred-million-dollar startup, and the previously overlooked students now participating in America’s growing esports phenomenon. It’s a tale of perseverance, courage, loyalty, race, family, tragedy, and believing you can overcome the odds—no matter how severely they’re stacked against you. You will also: - Learn how the growing esports industry is changing the lives of students across the country who were previously not engaged in the high school experience. - Get a glimpse into a successful entrepreneur path unlike any other by following the story of how Delane Parnell created PlayVS in spite of the greatest of challenges. - Be inspired that there is hope and opportunity available to people who go against conventional paths to realize their dreams.

Montañez Narrator: Rubén Trujillo (trujo) Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 34 minutes Release date: December 9, 2021 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: La inolvidable historia real de cómo un simple empleado de limpieza que trabajaba duro para llevar comida a su casa, inventó Flamin’ Hot Cheetos haciendo pruebas de sabor en secreto, rompiendo barreras y convirtiéndose en el primer ejecutivo latino de la compañía Frito-Lay. No se suponía que Richard Montañez tuviera grandes sueños y aspiraciones. Nacido en la pobreza, de padres migrantes y trabajadores agrícolas, dejó la escuela en el sexto grado, y finalmente tomó un trabajo limpiando pisos en la fábrica de Frito Lay y así dar de comer a su joven familia. Todo cambió cuando una noche, a los 28 años, Montañez tomó su futuro entre sus manos: usó la receta de salsa de chile de su esposa para condimentar una bolsa de Cheetos regulares. Luego de un intenso proceso de experimentación y pruebas en secreto, y una llamada increíblemente arriesgada al presidente de la empresa, rompiendo con todo protocolo, Montañez lanzó Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Nunca se imaginó que recibiría ataques de discriminación, puñaladas por la espalda y hasta un intento de sabotaje por parte de un científico de primer nivel en Frito-Lay que quería frenar el nuevo producto antes que saliera al mercado, envidioso de que alguien sin educación formal más allá del sexto grado pudiera hacer su trabajo. Flamin’Hot comparte la historia de cómo Montañez no solo irrumpió en la industria alimenticia con un sabor que el mercado recibió maravillosamente, sino que también sacudió una cultura corporativa en la que todos debían mantenerse en su propio carril. Este es un manual de empoderamiento para cualquiera que se encuentre atrapado en un trabajo sin futuro o que se enfrente a un sistema donde no ve avance y progreso para sí mismo. Flamin'Hot brinda la esperanza de que nuestras circunstancias actuales no tengan que dictar nuestro futuro, abriendo un nuevo camino hacia el sueño americano.

Title: Strong Ties: Barclay Simpson: Business, Philanthropy, Leadership, and the Bay Area Author: Katharine Ogden Michaels Narrator: Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 5 minutes Release date: November 9, 2021 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: An in-depth look at the life of Oakland, California native, Barclay Simpson, Strong Ties focuses on the set of convictions and leadership qualities that allowed Simpson to build a successful business from nothing and to become one of the major philanthropists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Simpson founded Simpson Manufacturing Co, Inc., in 1956, which he grew from a small, artisan business that fabricated metal connectors into a world-wide, publicly-traded company, known throughout the construction industry as a manufacturer of over 4000 distinct, highly engineered products for tying one structural element to another in residential and commercial projects. In building the company, he developed a set of company principles that placed employees at the center of his business. Central to these principles was a compensation system that included broad-based, quarterly profit-sharing along with employee development and education programs that promoted hiring from within the ranks of the company, thereby allowing employees to build life-long careers in which many were able to go from hourly production line labor to management. A story of Barclay Simpson's leadership style as both a business man and a philanthropist, Strong Ties chronicles the astounding continuity between his views on making money, and giving it away.

Title: The Biography of a Failed Venture: Decoding Success Secrets from the Blackbox of a Dead Start-Up Author: Prashant Desai Narrator: Raja Sevak Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 13 minutes Release date: October 27, 2021 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: THE STORY OF A TRULY INDIAN SPORTS BRAND THAT COULD GO PLACES BUT FAILED Prashant Desai was seven when he lost his father. Growing up in poverty, his single-minded focus was to become wealthy and successful. Ranking fourth on the all-India Cost and Works Accountants exam at the age of twenty-one, joining the corporate world and working with leaders such as Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Kishore Biyani and Jignesh Shah was a dream run that Prashant enjoyed, one that very few could even imagine and achieve. In April 2017, Prashant Desai founded a venture to build the first truly Indian sports brand - D:FY. In six months, Rajiv Mehta, who started Puma India and led it for seven years, joined him as a partner. They opened seventeen stores in seven cities, riding on great aspirations and confidence. The business lost Rs 30 crore in thirty months, virtually wiping out all that Prashant had earned for nearly thirty years. The venture failed not because Prashant did not possess the necessary vision, determination and courage; it failed because the number of things Prashant did wrong exceeded the number of things he did right. One could weep over the fuselage or decode the black box. So, when Prashant decided to decode it, new possibilities emerged, revealing a treasure trove of success secrets. The Biography of a Failed Venture provides a brutally honest account of why D:FY failed and how entrepreneurs can avoid these pitfalls to make their business ventures successful.

Title: Once a Bitcoin Miner: Scandal and Turmoil in the Cryptocurrency Wild West Author: Ethan Lou Narrator: Raymond J. Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 36 minutes Release date: October 19, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: There is the Bitcoin story of the headlines, but there is a more important one behind them: tangled plots sprawling like roots deep underground, entire worlds in which we are just passersby. In Once a Bitcoin Miner, journalist and author Ethan Lou takes listeners on a richly told first-person narrative through the proverbial cryptocurrency Wild West. From investing in Bitcoin in university to his time writing for Reuters, and then mining the digital asset, Lou meets the late Gerald Cotten (of QuadrigaCX) and a co-founder of Ethereum and hangs out in North Korea with Virgil Griffith, the man later arrested for allegedly teaching blockchain to the totalitarian state. Coming of age during the 2008 financial crisis, Lou's generation has a natural affinity with this rebel internet money, this so-called millennial gold, created in the wake of that economic storm. At once a personal story of adventure and fortune, this book is also a work of journalistic rigor, a deep dive into this domain that everyone hears about yet nobody truly knows and into the lives of the fast-talkers, the exiles, the ambitious, and the daring, forging their paths in a new world harsh and unpredictable.

Title: The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's Pursuit of Power Author: Max Chafkin Narrator: Will Damron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 33 minutes Release date: September 21, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: A New York Times Notable Book  A biography of venture capitalist and entrepreneur Peter Thiel, the enigmatic, controversial, and hugely influential power broker who sits at the dynamic intersection of tech, business, and politics   “Max Chafkin’s The Contrarian is much more than a consistently shocking biography of Peter Thiel, the most important investor in tech and a key supporter of the Donald Trump presidency. It’s also a disturbing history of Silicon Valley that will make you reconsider the ideological foundations of America’s relentless engine of creative destruction.”—Brad Stone, author of The Everything Store and Amazon Unbound 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. Eye-opening and deeply reported, The Contrarian is a revelatory biography of a one-of-a-kind leader and an incisive portrait of a tech industry whose explosive growth and power is both thrilling and fraught with controversy.

Title: Family Business: An Intimate History of John Lewis and the Partnership Author: Victoria Glendinning Narrator: Julia Franklin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 48 minutes Release date: August 19, 2021 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: From Victoria Glendinning, winner of the Duff Cooper Prize, the James Tait Black Prize and (twice) the Whitbread Prize for Biography. ‘It’s Succession in tailcoats and spats … This is a vivid and eye-opening group biography, backgrounded by the rise of supermarket moguls from humble beginnings’ Sunday Times Who was John Lewis? What story lies behind the retail empire that bears his name? Behind the glass windows and displays of soft furnishing, this book reveals the family that founded the shops in all their eccentricities, and whose relationships became blighted by conflicts of epic proportions as their wealth bloomed. Born into poverty, John Lewis was orphaned at the age of seven when his father died in a Somerset workhouse. Dreaming of a better life, the young man travelled to London at the start of what would become a retail revolution. From early years as a draper’s apprentice, we see how Lewis’s first pokey little business opened on Oxford Street in 1864, and expanded as an emerging middle class embraced the department stores as a recreational experience. Prize-winning biographer Victoria Glendinning has had full access to the company and family archives to write this eye-opening story. She captures the toxic relationships that unfolded between Lewis and his two sons, Spedan and Oswald, as they collided over the future of their retail empire – their worst moments including emotional blackmail, face-slapping and a kidnapping – and much litigation between father and both sons. Yet the family never broke up and Spedan’s vision of a Partnership model to act as an ethical corrective and foster a community of happier, more productive workers was eventually realised and survives to this day. With riveting personal detail, this brilliant group biography captures a rags-to-riches story and a tempestuous family saga, all unfolding against the dramatic social and political worlds of nineteenth-century London. The book concludes with an assessment of the position John Lewis holds in British sensibilities, and whether John Lewis and institutions like it have a place in our future.

Title: WOKE, INC.: Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam Author: Vivek Ramaswamy Narrator: Vivek Ramaswamy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.28 of Total 57 Ratings of Narrator: 4.86 of Total 14 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: In this New York Times bestseller, a young and successful entrepreneur makes the case that politics has no place in business, and sets out a new vision for the future of American capitalism. There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes.  “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally-friendly world, but in reality this ideology championed by America’s business and political leaders robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.   Vivek Ramaswamy is a traitor to his class. He’s founded multibillion-dollar enterprises, led a biotech company as CEO, he became a hedge fund partner in his 20s, trained as a scientist at Harvard and a lawyer at Yale, and grew up the child of immigrants in a small town in Ohio. Now he takes us behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms and five-star conferences, into Ivy League classrooms and secretive nonprofits, to reveal the defining scam of our century.   The modern woke-industrial complex divides us as a people.  By mixing morality with consumerism, America’s elites prey on our innermost insecurities about who we really are. They sell us cheap social causes and skin-deep identities to satisfy our hunger for a cause and our search for meaning, at a moment when we as Americans lack both.   This book not only rips back the curtain on the new corporatist agenda, it offers a better way forward. America’s elites may want to sort us into demographic boxes, but we don’t have to stay there. Woke, Inc. begins as a critique of stakeholder capitalism and ends with an exploration of what it means to be an American in 2021—a journey that begins with cynicism and ends with hope.

Title: Power Play: Elon Musk, Tesla, and the Bet of the Century Author: Tim Higgins Narrator: Will Damron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 56 minutes Release date: August 5, 2021 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Inside the outrageous, come-from-behind story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car and the race to drive the future. Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he's a genius and a visionary and to others he's a mercurial huckster. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets and his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car. When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential and they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition. Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy--his antics repeatedly taking the company he had funded himself to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three? Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds... and changed the future. © Tim Higgins 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

Title: The Cult of We: WeWork, Adam Neumann, and the Great Startup Delusion Author: Maureen Farrell, Eliot Brown Narrator: Thérèse Plummer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 14 minutes Release date: July 20, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 12 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 4 Genres: Business Publisher's Summary: WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER • A FINANCIAL TIMES, FORTUNE, AND NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • “The riveting, definitive account of WeWork, one of the wildest business stories of our time.”—Matt Levine, Money Stuff columnist, Bloomberg Opinion The definitive story of the rise and fall of WeWork (also depicted in the upcoming Apple TV+ series WeCrashed, starring Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway), by the real-life journalists whose Wall Street Journal reporting rocked the company and exposed a financial system drunk on the elixir of Silicon Valley innovation.   LONGLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 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?   In little more than a decade, Neumann transformed himself from a struggling baby clothes salesman into the charismatic, hard-partying CEO of a company worth $47 billion—on paper. With his long hair and feel-good mantras, the six-foot-five Israeli transplant looked the part of a messianic truth teller. Investors swooned, and billions poured in.   Neumann dined with the CEOs of JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, entertaining a parade of power brokers desperate to get a slice of what he was selling: the country’s most valuable startup, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a generation-defining moment.   Soon, however, WeWork was burning through cash faster than Neumann could bring it in. From his private jet, sometimes clouded with marijuana smoke, he scoured the globe for more capital. Then, as WeWork readied a Hail Mary IPO, it all fell apart. Nearly $40 billion of value vaporized in one of corporate America’s most spectacular meltdowns.   Peppered with eye-popping, never-before-reported details, The Cult of We is the gripping story of careless and often absurd people—and the financial system they have made.

Title: Ticket to Ride: My Adventures in Making Big Money and Giving it Away Author: Sir Peter Lampl Narrator: Sean Barrett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 23 minutes Release date: July 15, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The candid tale of one of Britain’s most outstanding contemporary philanthropists. These pages wryly track Peter’s varied career moves, from flogging tickets for one of The Beatles first major concerts, to getting inadvertently caught up in a New York family turf war while trying to buy a treated wood company. However, at the book’s heart is a serious mission to present a clear and galvanising case for strategic philanthropy, crucially with the founding of educational charity, The Sutton Trust. Partly an inspiring memoir, partly an impassioned call to action for social mobility and educational equality, Peter Lampl’s autobiography describes how a self-made entrepreneur amassed a fortune and then chose to use it to help others.

Title: Collision Course: Carlos Ghosn and the Culture Wars That Upended an Auto Empire Author: William Sposato, Hans Greimel Narrator: Joel Richards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 55 minutes Release date: June 22, 2021 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: In Japan it's called the 'Ghosn Shock'—the stunning arrest of Carlos Ghosn, the jet-setting CEO who saved Nissan and made it part of a global automotive empire. Even more shocking was his daring escape from Japan, packed into a box and put on a private jet to Lebanon after months spent in a Japanese detention center, subsisting on rice gruel. How did it come to this, and why? This is the sprawling story of what led to the Ghosn Shock and what was left in its wake. The book chronicles Ghosn's two decades building a colossal partnership between Nissan and Renault. To the world it looked like a new model for a global business, but the alliance's shiny image fronted an unsteady, tense operation. Culture clashes, infighting among executives and engineers, dueling corporate traditions, and government maneuvering constantly threatened the venture. Expertly reported, Collision Course explores the complex suspicions around what and who was really responsible for Ghosn's ouster. It explains how economics, history, national interests, legal traditions, and hubris converged on arguably the most important foreign businessman ever to set foot in Japan.

Title: Flamin' Hot: The Incredible True Story of One Man's Rise from Janitor to Top Executive Author: Richard Montanez Narrator: Steven Montañez, Richard Montanez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 21 minutes Release date: June 15, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: Now a Hulu feature film directed by Eva Longoria Read the story everyone is talking about: how a janitor struggling to put food on the table invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in a secret test kitchen, breaking barriers and becoming the first Latino frontline worker promoted to executive at Frito-Lay. Richard Montañez is a man who made a science out of walking through closed doors, and his success story is an empowerment manual for anyone stuck in a dead-end job or facing a system stacked against them.    Having taken a job mopping floors at Frito-Lay's California factory to support his family, Montañez took his future into his own hands and created the world’s hottest snack food: Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. This bold move not only disrupted the food industry with some much-needed spice, but also shook up a corporate culture in which everyone stayed in their lane. When a top food scientist at Frito-Lay sent out a memo telling sales and marketing to kill the new product before it made it to the store shelves—jealous that someone with no formal education beyond the sixth grade could do his job—Montañez was forced to go rogue once again to save his idea. Through creative thinking, community building, and a few powerful mindset shifts, he outsmarted the naysayers who tried to get in his way.   Flamin' Hot proves that you can break out of your career rut and that your present circumstances don't have to dictate your future.
