Fink J: Building Boys

Building Boys

Raising Great Guys in a World that Misunderstands Males

An introductory finance textbook that teaches personal, corporate, and investment decisions from one set of first principles. How much should I save for retirement? Should this company launch a new product? Is this stock worth its price? These questions look like they belong to three different subjects—personal, corporate, and investment—and most introductory textbooks treat them that way. But this innovative introduction to finance shows that they actually come down to the same handful of principles. Drawing on more than two decades of teaching at Wharton, Michael Roberts develops each idea in context, working through real companies and live data and returning to the core concepts often enough that they stick. Featuring hundreds of examples, frequent understanding checks, and extensive end-of-chapter problems, Financial Decision-Making is an essential learn-by-doing guide to practicing finance in our personal and professional lives. <ul><li>Organized by decision type rather than finance topic</li><li>Illustrates the thought process for tackling financial questions in varied contexts</li><li>Emphasizes relatable, practical applications </li><li>Suits undergraduates, MBAs, executives, and general readers</li><li>Includes instructor resources</li></ul>

A Leaders Guide to Finding and Fixing What Really Drives Interpersonal Friction at Work

The Conflict Beneath the Conflict

How can we stay connected without losing ourselves, and be ourselves without turning against one another? We are always falling apart and coming together. Families feud and reconcile. Teams splinter and regroup. Communities, organizations, and nations fragment, fight, ally, and unite. Our biggest problem isn’t falling apart and coming together—it’s falling apart or coming together. Increasingly we’re getting trapped in two dangerous extremes: <ul><li>Combat (separateness without togetherness): pulling back into hostile camps, weaponizing differences, and fracturing into polarization and isolation.</li><li>Subordination (togetherness without separateness): demanding harmony, erasing difference, and silencing dissent.</li></ul> Drawing on thirty-five years of work with diverse groups at all scales all around the world—from apartheid and civil war to everyday organizational and family dynamics—bestselling author Adam Kahane offers a practical way to navigate between these extremes. At the heart of his approach is a recognition of two fundamental universal drives: love, our drive to connect and unite with others as interdependent teammates, and power, our drive to do our thing and realize ourselves as independent parties. Kahane shows how these drives can be harmonized only&nbsp; through building justice: living containers—boundaries, rules of the game, and norms—that enable us to be both separate and together as interrelated kin. Through gritty, real-world stories from Kahane’s professional and personal experiences, readers will learn how to <ul><li>steer between combat and subordination;</li><li>work more skillfully with love, power, and justice;</li><li>repair structures and relationships that are cracking; and</li><li>create conditions for people to live and work together across their differences.</li></ul> For anyone trying to lead a family, team, organization, community, or nation so people can remain themselves and stay connected, Falling Apart and Coming Together offers a hopeful, practical path forward and a survival guide for a fracturing world.

Adam Kahane, bestselling author of Collaborating with the Enemy, shows how justice helps families, organizations, communities, and nations repair broken relationships and live together better. A practical guide to using justice as the lever for balancing power and love in a world that is falling apart. We are always falling apart and coming together. In families, workplaces, communities, and nations, people pull back into smaller camps, harden boundaries, or force unity that leaves too many voices unheard. Adam Kahane names the twin traps of combat and subordination and offers a practical way to steer between them: the justice lever. Drawing on thirty-five years of work with divided groups around the world, along with intimate stories from family life and public life, Kahane defines justice as a functional tool. Justice is the container made of rules, norms, agreements, structures, and relationships that allows people to be both separate and together. Readers will learn how to <ul><li>recognize when relationships are slipping into combat or subordination;</li><li>harness power, the drive to realize ourselves;</li><li>harness love, the drive to unite with others;</li><li>construct justice containers that make collaboration and cohabitation possible; and</li><li>repair cracked containers in families, teams, organizations, communities, and public life.</li></ul> Brief and clear, with unforgettable stories from global peace work, climate negotiations, Indigenous health, family life, and organizational repair, this book gives readers a way to start repairing what is cracking right where they are.

A Theory and Practice of Love, Power, and Justice

Falling Apart and Coming Together

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMESBESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MONEY: A USER'S GUIDEWe vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?So why - in the privacy of the therapy room - does money emerge as one of the biggest causes of tension for modern couples? Why is it cited as the major factor in family estrangement between parents, children, and siblings? Why is there a trend for the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' to go to court to retrieve loans they regret handing over?In MONEY: A USER'S GUIDE, Laura showed us how to save into a pension and understand investment. This time, she delves into the really complex stuff - a non-judgemental examination of whether there is a "right" way to share our money with those we love, and what everyone else does behind closed doors. A book that none of us want to admit we need.How do you decide who picks up the bill, or what goes in the joint account? Is your partner being generous or controlling? Is this house mine if your parents paid most of the deposit? How much are you prepared to spend to have a baby? When should we give money to our kids, our mum and dad, our siblings, our community? Should they pay us back? What does everyone else do? Why don't we know? And why does it feel so agonisingly awkward to ask?This is a book of personal finance advice told through real stories about other people's modern money and relationship dilemmas.Laura speaks to financial advisers and wealth managers, marriage counsellors and matchmakers, philosophers, religious leaders, funeral directors and divorce lawyers, to get to the bottom of the questions that can be much more fundamental to our wealth and happiness than where to put our savings.

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

Part life philosophy, part financial clarity, and part real-world wisdom from a hugely popular estate planning attorney who has seen what happens when families plan and when they don't. I'm Sorry I'm Dead helps readers confront the reality of life's end, not in a morbid way, but in a deeply empowering one. Estate planning attorney, entrepreneur, and best-selling author Pamela Maass Garrett aka Law Mother has helped thousands of families navigate what happens when someone dies. She has seen firsthand that the biggest problems families face are rarely legal: they are emotional, relational, and the result of decisions never made . . . siblings that stop speaking over a dispute about their parent's home, a grieving widow locked out of bank accounts because she didn't know how to get access, and families forced to guess about critical medical decisions. All of these problems can be easily avoided. In this book, Garrett introduces a powerful mindset shift: when you face the end of life honestly, you begin living more intentionally today. Through compelling stories from real families, practical financial insights, and simple decision-making frameworks, readers learn how to take control of their lives before circumstances take control of them. The book guides readers through the most important life decisions most people avoid: · how to organize finances and build real wealth · how to protect loved ones legally and emotionally · how to make difficult family decisions before crisis strikes · how to prevent conflict, confusion, and regret after death · how to create a legacy that strengthens future generations rather than unintentionally burdening them with a huge tax bill · what you really can and can't do Rather than overwhelming readers with technical legal details, I'm Sorry I'm Dead offers a clear philosophy and practical tools for making the decisions that matter most. The result is a life lived with greater clarity, stronger relationships, and the peace of knowing the people you love will be protected. This book is for anyone who wants to stop drifting through life and start deciding it.

Thoughtful advice on how to leave academia gracefully and build your best life in retirement Retirement is one of the most challenging transitions in an academic's career, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the changes that lie ahead.

Susan Shaw describes the lessons she learned from her own retirement experience and those of her colleagues, highlighting what worked and what didn't while paying special attention to the things that make the academic workplace unique.

Along the way, Shaw examines some of the downsides of aging in the academy and discusses relevant differences in academic experiences, covering topics such as gender, race, and sexuality. Focusing on so much more than just financial planning, On Retiring empowers you with social, psychological, and philosophical tools to leave the academy on your own terms and thrive in retirement.
