Title: Sharpen Your Heels: Mrs Moneypenny's Career Avice For Women
Author: Mrs Moneypenny
Publisher: Portfolio Penguin
Genre: Women
Condition: New
Price: RM10.00



Summary:
Star Financial Times columnist Mrs. Moneypenny says the smartest thing women can do for their careers is to stop trying to “have it all” – time is scarce and you can’t excel both at work and at home, so stop feeling guilty already! Instead, she shows you how to figure out what you want, make your choices and own them in her latest book, Sharpen Your Heels: Mrs. Moneypenny's Career Advice For Women.
As a successful business owner and mother of three, Mrs. Moneypenny knows her stuff and takes her responsibility to help other women very seriously. She draws from her own career and from her circle of “superwomen” to tackle the realities of being a career woman – even if it means doing paperwork in the loo.
Among the essentials:
-How to say NO – even to those you love – but also how to not take “no” for an answer when it comes to your priorities.
-How to effectively network with men who do their socializing while hitting the links.
-How to stop trying to achieve the mythical work-life balance. Your work is part of your life – so figure out how you can integrate family and work commitments.
Whether you're just starting out or a rung from the top, whether you're a store manager or a CEO, let Mrs. Moneypenny be your ultimate mentor - and guide you to success.

Egonomic
Title: Egonomic
Author: David Marcum, Steven Smith
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Genre: Business
Condition: New
Price: RM8



Summary:
The Questions"Arrogant, self-centered, stubborn, " and "insecure" -- words that most people associate with ego. But in this original, eye-opening work, authors David Marcum and Steven Smith argue that the upside of ego is as powerful as the downside and answer questions about ego that have been a mystery to most people. In his landmark book, "Good to Great, " Jim Collins showed that one of two key traits defined leaders who transformed organizations from good to great: humility. But if humility is so powerful, why don't more of us have it? Why does ego allow us to reach good results but never great ones, unless balanced by humility? Why do we need ego to personally succeed, while having it often interferes with the success we pursue? The AnswersUsing five years of exhaustive research, Marcum and Smith provide compelling evidence and matter-of-fact answers on striking the balance between ego and humility to reach the next level of leadership. The authors include case studies to illustrate how ego subtly interferes with success but also how ego sparks the drive to achieve, the nerve to try something new, and the tenacity to conquer adversity. The Early Warning SignsWe all have moments when ego costs us everything from an honest conversation to a job or promotion. Through cross-disciplinary research, egonomics reveals how to detect four early warning signs that ego is becoming a liability, including how: - being too competitive makes you less competitive- defending ideas turns into defending yourself- winning ideas can be halted by the creator's own intelligence and talent- desiring respect and recognition can interfere with successThe Keys to Egonomic HealthThree key principles keep ego healthy: - humility: striking the crucial balance between too much ego and not enough- curiosity: blending free thinking and discipline without bias - veracity: removing fear of giving or getting feedback to produce water-cooler honestyWith a clear focus on elevating the way you do business, "egonomics" is a liberating approach to becoming a rare and respected leader.

Title: Rainforest Tears: A Borneo Story
Author: Paul Leslie Smith
Publisher: Marshall Cavendish
Genre: Environment
Condition: New
Price: RM8



Summary:
Sarawak, 1937; Geoffrey Portas arrives to work in the oilfields of Borneo, finding a place where exotica substitutes the tedium of his homeland and cerulean seas replace grey English winters. Gripped by location and circumstance, life’s inertia is further despatched as Vong Tan, the daughter of a Chinese timber tycoon, walks into his life. Developing a relationship in a way he never dreamt possible, his life in this sultry sanctuary of colonial grandeur exceeds all expectations.
In December 1941, life is torn asunder. Japanese bombs rain down across the Pacific. Asian attitudes change as the avaricious, compassionless minority sense the loosening of their colonial shackles. Conscripted into Britain’s Special Operations Executive, he sets about fighting a merciless enemy.
Set in the heart of Borneo’s millennial rainforest magnificence, a rolling adventure unfolds from Churchill’s War Cabinet Rooms to Japan’s Imperial Palace as brutality rains down on a guileless people whose hopes for freedom come to focus on a man who fights to save them, his oilfields and the woman he loves.

Title: Scandal!
Author: Fortune
Publisher: Times Inc
Genre: Business
Condition: New
Price: RM10



Summary:
Greed, cupidity, corruption, and a kind of gluttony so outrageous that it's laughable have always been part of business.Consider, for example, the case of the Swedish match king. At one time, Ivar Kreuger, manufactured almost half of the world's matches, with monopolies in 16 countries. He had so much money that he was a reliable lender to many countries, becoming known as the 'saviour of Europe' for his willingness to give aid to banks crippled by World War I. At the time of the 1929 market crash, his was the most widely held stock in the world. But when he killed himself three years later, the whole thing went up in flames. The company's debts exceeded those of the entire Swedish government, as it was based on a gigantic pyramid scheme.Other examples in this book will include the story of Enron, of which "Fortune Magazine" was the first to break the news, Orange County bankcruptcy, Sotheby's and Al Taubman, and many more.

[WTS] The Value Investors
Title: The Value Investors
Author: Ronald W. Chan
Publisher: Wiley
Genre: Business
Condition: New
Price: RM10



Summary:
Investing legend Warren Buffett once said that “success in investing doesn’t correlate with I.Q. once you’re above the level of 125. Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.”
In an attempt to understand exactly what kind of temperament Buffett was talking about, Ronald W. Chan interviewed 12 value-investing legends from around the world, learning how their personal background, culture, and life experiences have shaped their investment mindset and strategy. The Value Investors: Lessons from the World’s Top Fund Managers is the result.
From 106-year-old Irving Kahn, who worked closely with “father of value investing” Benjamin Graham and remains active today, and 95-year-old Walter Schloss (described by Warren Buffett as the “super-investor from Graham-and-Dodsville”), to the co-founders of Hong Kong-based Value Partners, Cheah Cheng Hye and V-Nee Yeh, and Francisco García Paramés of Spain’s Bestinver Asset Management, Chan chose investment luminaries to help him understand the international appeal – and success – of value investing. All of these men became strong advocates of the approach despite considerable age and cultural differences. Chan finds out why.
In The Value Investors, readers will also discover how these investors, each of whom has a unique value perspective, have consistently beaten the stock market over the years. Do they share a trait that allows this to happen? Is there a winning temperament that turns the ordinary investor into an extraordinary one? This book answers these questions and more.

[WTS] Talent Is Overrated
Title: Talent Is Overrated
Author: Geoff Colvin
Publisher: Portfolio Penguin
Genre: Self Empowerment
Condition: New
Price: RM15



Summary:
Asked to explain why a few people truly excel, most people offer one of two answers. The first is hard work. Yet we all know plenty of hard workers who have been doing the same job for years or decades without becoming great. The other possibility is that the elite possess an innate talent for excelling in their field. We assume that Mozart was born with an astounding gift for music, and Warren Buffett carries a gene for brilliant investing. The trouble is, scientific evidence doesn't support the notion that specific natural talents make great performers.

According to distinguished journalist Geoff Colvin, both the hard work and natural talent camps are wrong. What really makes the difference is a highly specific kind of effort-"deliberate practice"-that few of us pursue when we're practicing golf or piano or stockpicking. Based on scientific research, Talent is Overrated shares the secrets of extraordinary performance and shows how to apply these principles. It features the stories of people who achieved world-class greatness through deliberate practice-including Benjamin Franklin, comedian Chris Rock, football star Jerry Rice, and top CEOs Jeffrey Immelt and Steven Ballmer.
