Bad Banks
Overview
Written by a man with inside knowledge of all the major players, this is the story of how the economic crisis continues to haunt us, and why the unchecked recklessness of some banks is still a threat to our financial future.
Bad Banks is a gripping account of the problems and scandals that continue to bedevil the world's banking system some seven years after the credit crunch.
It follows the fortunes and misfortunes of individual banks, from RBS to Lloyds. It exposes instances of mis-selling, money laundering, interest rate fixing and incompetence. And it considers the bigger picture: how the failings of the world's banking system are threatening to undermine our future economic security.
Alex Brummer, the City Editor of the Daily Mail, has had access to all the major players, from HBOS's Andy Hornby, to former Governor of the Bank of England Sir Mervyn King, to the ex-Chief Executive of Barclays, Bob Diamond, to Lloyds' António Horta-Osório. His book is an insightful -- and terrifying -- account of institutions once renowned for their probity, but now all too often a byword for incompetence, and worse.

13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Baffling Scientific Mysteries of Our Time
Ninety-six per cent of the universe is missing. The effects of homeopathy don’t go away under rigorous scientific conditions. The laws of nature aren’t what they used to be. Thirty years on, no one has an explanation for a seemingly intelligent signal received from outer space? The US Department of Energy is re-examining cold fusion because the experimental evidence seems too solid to ignore. The placebo effect is put to work in medicine while doctors can’t agree whether it even exists.
In an age when science is supposed to be king, scientists are beset by experimental results they simply can’t explain. But, if the past is anything to go by, these anomalies contain the seeds of future revolutions. While taking readers on an entertaining tour d’horizon of the strangest of scientific findings – involving everything from our lack of free will to Martian methane that offers new evidence of life on the planet – Michael Brooks argues that the things we don’t understand are the key to what we are about to discover.
This mind-boggling but entirely accessible survey of the outer limits of human knowledge is based on a short article by Michael Brooks for New Scientist magazine. It became the sixth most circulated story on the internet in 2005, and provoked widespread comment and compliments (Google "13 things that do not make sense” to see).
Michael Brooks has now dug deeply into those mysteries, with extraordinary results.

Finding Our Way Home
Overview
Finding Our Way Home: Heartwarming Stories That Ignite Our Spiritual Core
In a deeply heartfelt way, Jerry Jampolsky and Diane Cirincione share stories of their spiritual journey, detours they’ve taken, and people who have impacted them along their life trail. Using the Hawaiian tradition of "talking story,” Jerry and Diane demonstrate the daily application of spiritual principles and practical spirituality.
Individually and together, they weave their journey for us as it continues to evolve from the influences around them. They inspire us to embrace and share our own stories of peaks and valleys that make up our journeys.
The authors’ honest and vulnerable style of communicating continues to reveal their life purposes in the choices they make and the lessons they’ve learned. "Each day still provides challenges and circumstances that call to those parts of us that want to judge others or ourselves,” they write. "What is different now is that we more quickly recognize when we’re lost and the choice we have to return to the path of unconditional love.
Once we remember that our purpose is service and helping others, as well as letting go of our judgments and grievances by practicing forgiveness, the path is easier, the direction clearer, and the destination of peace achievable.”

The Investment Group Handbook from Ch...
Chama to Conglomerate' captures the global phenomenon of group investment, whereby like-minded people pool their resources together on a regular basis to pursue business projects with long-term returns. This book shows how they can grow from a small club of investors to a big corporate entity.

There have become really common and come about where individuals come together to form groups with a social and commercial agenda.

According to Tony Wainaina, chamas as an investment group phenomenon is a sleeping giant with far greater potential for economic growth.
The book begins by explaining the value of working and investing in a group and the power of compounding. It then goes on to explain the steps in establishing, forming and structuring your investment group.
The use of Trans- Century Limited, recognized as the most successful investment group in East and Central Africa, as a role model for aspiring investment groups is given in detail, together with lessons to be learnt from their success.

The Greatest Miracle in the World
Dreaming Big
Overview
Dreaming big helps readers define their 'Life Dream' and experience an entirely new level of natural energy.
Co-authored by Bobb Biehl and Paul Swets, Dreaming Big describes a Life Dream as a crystal clear vision of the difference the reader wants to make in the future—a vision so compelling that it energizes for a lifetime.
Not everyone has a big dream. Many don't know how to clear away the fog and confusion in their lives. Some are afraid to dream for fear their dreams will not come true. Others become content with mediocrity. Consequently, their work suffers. They go about their responsibilities without vision, without enthusiasm and without an eagerness to solve problems, without hope.
Dreaming Big understands where readers are and helps them grow past the barriers that hold them back. It takes them on a 31 day personal growth journey. Each of the five weeks focuses on practical strategies that motivate positive change.
1. Discovering Your Dream
2. Refining your dream
3. Living Your Dream
4. Teaching your team to dream
5. Encouraging your team
Each chapter is interactive. Readers are encouraged to think deeply about their lives by answering profound questions and jotting down their thoughts. Heart Probes at the end of every chapter help the reader to look within, sort through any confusion and gain clarity. Instead of merely telling readers to dream big, it shows them how.
Biehl and Swets help the reader to excel, to live on the edge of their potential, to be the best person they can be. Helen Keller's quote summarizes the theme of Dreaming Big: "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."

How Google Works
Overview
Both Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google as seasoned Silicon Valley business executives, but over the course of a decade they came to see the wisdom in Coach John Wooden's observation that 'it's what you learn after you know it all that counts'.
As they helped grow Google from a young start-up to a global icon, they relearned everything they knew about management. How Google Works is the sum of those experiences distilled into a fun, easy-to-read primer on corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and dealing with disruption.
The authors explain how the confluence of three seismic changes - the internet, mobile, and cloud computing - has shifted the balance of power from companies to consumers. The companies that will thrive in this ever-changing landscape will be the ones that create superior products and attract a new breed of multifaceted employees whom the authors dub 'smart creative'.
The management maxims ('Consensus requires dissension', 'Exile knaves but fight for divas', 'Think 10X, not 10%') are illustrated with previously unreported anecdotes from Google's corporate history.' Back in 2010, Eric and I created an internal class for Google managers,' says Rosenberg. 'The class slides all read 'Google confidential' until an employee suggested we uphold the spirit of openness and share them with the world. This book codifies the recipe for our secret sauce: how Google innovates and how it empowers employees to succeed.'
