Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his devastating new book Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind takes readers inside the defining conflict of our era: the war between the West and a growing, shadowy army of terrorists, armed with weapons of alarming power. Relying on unique access to former and current government officials, this book will reveal for the first time how the US government -- from President Bush on down -- is frantically improvising to fight a new kind of war. Where is the enemy? What have been the real victories and defeats since 9/11? How are we actually fighting this war and how can it possibly be won? Filled with astonishing disclosures, Suskind's book shows readers what he calls "the invisible battlefield" -- a global matrix where US spies race to catch soldiers of jihad before they strike. It is a real-life spy thriller with the world's future at stake. It also reveals the shocking and secret philosophy underpinning the war on terror. Gripping and alarming in equal measure, it will reframe the debate about a war that, each day, redefines America and its place in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When your business is a "job in disguise" and feels like a hamster wheel it's time to get smarter. How to have financial security, freedom and fulfilment ... without being so stupidly busy. When people find out you run your own business you know what they'll ask: "How's it going? Are you busy?" Somehow, "busy" has come to mean "successful." But you didn't wake up this morning thinking "my main aim today is to be as busy as possible!" You don't have your business "to be busy" ... so why DO you work so hard? We all have our businesses for the same reason. The same three reasons actually - to have financial security, freedom and fulfilment - the 3Fs. But these aren't the outcomes for most small businesses. Instead, the common experience feels like you're on a hamster wheel, where the hours are long and the rewards mediocre. Self-esteem is threatened and life, love and relationships impacted. This book explains why this happens and how to approach work in a smarter way, to have a better business with less busyness and more certain results, so you can get back to living and loving life again. How, by climbing off the hamster wheel and escaping The Busyness Delusion, you can take the easier, more certain route to turn your own business into one that does give you all 3Fs. It covers: Why the hustle method is seductive but flawed, and how to use a smarter approach Why most self-employed people unwittingly choose the hardest way to earn, and what the easier options are. How to overcome the biggest obstacle to a smarter business and better life. What financial security really means and how to achieve it quicker and more easily. How to get better results by applying a simple model of how the brain works to give you more control. How to eliminate your competition to make it easier to get better results. Providing a new framework, illustrated in clear diagrams and told through a compelling story, this book reveals why copying others creates the hamster wheel effect, and precisely what to do to have a business and life you deserve. "This book nails the problem with most small businesses. The solutions are time-tested principles, for the first time pulled together in an original and enjoyable way that's easy to understand and implement." Dan Sager

This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a fear theory of the economy, based on the interplay between fear of rare disasters and the interest rate on safe assets. To do this, I study the macroeconomic consequences of government-administered interest rates in the neoclassical real business cycle model. When the government has the power to fix the safe real interest rate, the gap between the `sticky real safe rate' and the `neutral rate' can generate far-reaching aggregate distortions. When fear exogenously rises, the demand for safe assets rise and the neutral rate falls. If the central bank does not lower the safe rate by the same amount, savings rise leading to a decline in consumption and aggregate demand. The same mechanism works in reverse, when fear falls. Quantitatively, I show that a single fear factor can simultaneously (i) generate cross-correlations in output, labor, consumption, and investment consistent with the postwar US economy; and (ii) generates variation in equity prices, bond prices, and a large risk premium in line with the asset pricing data. Six novel insights emerge from the model: (1) actively regulating the safe interest rate (in both directions) can mitigate the fluctuations generated by fear cycles; (2) recessions will be deeper and longer when central banks accept the zero lower bound and are unwilling to use negative rates; (3) a commitment to use negative rates in recessions—even if never implemented—raises both the short- and long-run real neutral rates, and moderates the business cycle; (4) counter-cyclical fiscal policy can act as disaster insurance and be expansionary by reducing fear; (5) quantitative easing can be narrowly effective only when fear is high at the lower bound; and (6) when fear is high, especially at the lower bound, policies that boost productivity also help fight recessions.

Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 20 million copies sold! Translated into 60+ languages! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probability theory and its applications represent a discipline of fun damental importance to nearly all people working in the high-tech nology world that surrounds us. There is increasing awareness that we should ask not "Is it so?" but rather "What is the probability that it is so?" As a result, most colleges and universities require a course in mathematical probability to be given as part of the undergraduate training of all scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. This book is a text for a first course in the mathematical theory of probability for undergraduate students who have the prerequisite of at least two, and better three, semesters of calculus. In particular, the student must have a good working knowledge of power series expan sions and integration. Moreover, it would be helpful if the student has had some previous exposure to elementary probability theory, either in an elementary statistics course or a finite mathematics course in high school or college. If these prerequisites are met, then a good part of the material in this book can be covered in a semester (IS-week) course that meets three hours a week.
