<b>~ Do Fewer Things. <i>Work at a Natural Pace. Obsess over Quality</i>. ~ </b><br/><br/><b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Digital Minimalism</i> and <i>Deep Work</i>, a groundbreaking philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload</b> <br/><br/>Our current definition of "productivity" is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We're overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of  burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices? <br/><br/>Long before the arrival of pinging inboxes and clogged schedules, history's most creative and impactful philosophers, scientists, artists, and writers mastered the art of producing valuable work with staying power. In this timely and provocative book, Cal Newport harnesses the wisdom of these traditional knowledge workers to radically transform our modern jobs. Drawing from deep research on the habits and mindsets of a varied cast of storied thinkers - from Galileo and Isaac Newton, to Jane Austen and Georgia O'Keefe - Newport lays out the key principles of "slow productivity," a more sustainable alternative to the aimless overwhelm that defines our current moment. Combining cultural criticism with systematic pragmatism, Newport deconstructs the absurdities inherent in standard notions of productivity, and then provides step-by-step advice for cultivating a slower, more humane alternative.<br/><br/>From the aggressive rethinking of workload management, to introducing seasonal variation, to shifting your performance toward long-term quality, <i>Slow Productivity</i> provides a roadmap for escaping overload and arriving instead at a more timeless approach to pursuing meaningful accomplishment. The world of work is due for a new revolution. Slow productivity is exactly what we need.

<b><i>The new book by STEVEN BARTLETT: entrepreneur, podcaster and Dragon's Den star</i><br/><br/>This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. </b><br/><b>This is a book about something much more permanent. </b><br/><br/>At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.<br/><br/><b>These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.</b><br/><br/>They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.<br/><br/><b>These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started? </b>

You know him as the founder of Microsoft; the philanthropic, kind-hearted billionaire who has donated endless funds to good causes around the world. But there's another side to Bill Gates.<br/><br/>We might like to think of the Gates Foundation as an innocent charity giving away money, collaborating with stakeholders, and listening to the desires of the populations it hopes to help, but is that how it works in practice?<br/><br/>Combining rich storytelling and ground-breaking reporting, <i>The Bill Gates Problem </i>offers readers a provocative and timely counter-narrative about one of the world's most widely recognized individuals - a true global celebrity with international reach. But more than that, this book speaks to a vital political question around economic inequality and the erosion of democratic institutions - why should the super-rich be able to transform their wealth into political power, and just how far can they go?

Marketing goes digital är den nya bibeln för företag och företagare som anser det viktigt att hänga med i sin digitaliserade samtid. Den är skriven av Johan Eriksson och David Ståhlberg, två ledande experter inom digitalisering med bakgrund inom företaget Google. Boken reder ut begreppen kring en rad trender inom marknadsföring båda med bakgrund i digitalisering. Författarna pekar på det som verkligen ger resultat, inte på vad som är mest i ropet just nu. De vägleder läsarna genom allt från hur man bäst organiserar sig för förändring och innovation till hur man arbetar med modeller och konkreta verktyg för att effektivisera sin sälj- och marknadskommunikation. Bokens kärnbudskap är att man istället för att haka på varje dyr marknadsföringstrend inom digitalisering, ska satsa tid och pengar på sin organisation. För att överleva måste man samla medarbetare omkring sig som är nyfikna och vetgiriga och skapa en arbetskultur som premierar nya idéer, även i de fall det innebär kritik mot det egna ledarskapet, menar författarna. Till stöd för sin teori har de några av världen främsta marknadsförare inom digitalisering. Boken innehåller en rad spännande intervjuer med världsnamn som: Avinash Kaushik (Google), Martin Lindström och Yasuhari Sasaki (Dentsu. Inc). Boken är både en inspirationsbok och ett handfast verktyg att använda sig av. Varje kapitel innehåller konkreta förslag och checklistor på hur man, på ett enkelt sätt, kan omsätta Johans Erikssons och David Ståhlbergs idéer till handling. Marketing goes digital är skriven på engelska.
