Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.Money--investing, personal finance, and business decisions--is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the different ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.www.amazon.nl

Global consumption of raw materials currently goes beyond the earth's regenerative capacity, but the circular economy offers a more sustainable model which also provides new business opportunities.Mastering the Circular Economy is an introduction to circularity from a business and value chain management perspective. With many reflections and exercises throughout, the book draws a direct link between relevant recent theory and practice and offers students and practitioners a deeper understanding of the topic. It looks at both the macro and micro context of the circular economy, from the government and societal view to the impact of new business models in an individual company.Starting from the corporate imperative of moving from linear to circular business models, Mastering the Circular Economy covers the associated opportunities and challenges for organizations, from regulation and risk to value chain collaboration, reverse logistics and product quality. Part two of the book helps students to pull together everything they've learned and see how the concepts play out in the real world by guiding them through application in the online business simulation game The Blue Connection (free basic access is included with the book). Readers are continuously asked to reflect on the choices they would make in different roles to demonstrate a full understanding of the strategic and operational implications of the circular economy.

Even leading capitalists admit that capitalism is broken. Green Swans is a manifesto for system change designed to serve people, planet, and prosperity. In his twentieth book, John Elkington--dubbed the "Godfather of Sustainability"--explores new forms of capitalism fit for the twenty-first century.If Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "Black Swans" are problems that take us exponentially toward breakdown, then "Green Swans" are solutions that take us exponentially toward breakthrough. The success--and survival--of humanity now depends on how we rein in the first and accelerate the second.Green Swans draws on Elkington's first-hand experience in some of the world's best-known boardrooms and C-suites. Using case studies, real-world examples, and profiles on emergent technologies, Elkington shows how the weirdest "Ugly Ducklings" of today's world may turn into tomorrow's world-saving Green Swans.This book is a must-read for business leaders in corporations great and small who want to help their businesses survive the coming shift in global priorities over the next decade and expand their horizons from responsibility, through resilience, and onto regeneration.Bron: www.amazon.nl

For countless thousands of Americans an outstanding memory of childhood is the family trip, which included, as often as not, a stop along the way for a good quick meal at a diner. Others, especially those from small towns, remember the afternoons after highschool classes let out sitting in a local diner drinking Cokes and whiling away the hours till supper. The diner, that gleaming train-carshaped palace of the hamburger and the french fry, of the hot roast beef sandwich with mashed on the side and brown gravy over all, has been a part of the American scene and the American experience for just over a century now, and for aficionados of the diner-or for those who just enjoy remembering-here is the first complete book of the American lunch wagon.American Diner is a richly illustrated scrapbook, presenting through words and more than 300 photographs and drawings a social, gastronomic, and architectural portrait of this uniquely American institution. From its earliest days as a horsedrawn wagon that came each night to the center of town and left each day by dawn to its explosion as a spaceship-like architectural marvel, the diner has been a faithful reflection of the styles and even the values with which Americans have been most comfortable. This unique celebration traces with care and affection the history of that relationship. Packed with anecdotes, dozens of "I- never-knew-that" facts and figures, and brimming with good humor, American Diner is a remarkable, joyful document of America.
