Daniels C: They Smiled at me the Whole
Time

They Smiled at me the Whole Time

Lim Siong Guan - The Best is Yet to Be provides insights into Siong Guan's past, his thoughts on the present, and his perspectives on the future, particularly on surviving and thriving in a world of "unknown unknowns".

But this is not a book about Siong Guan - it is about what he thinks readers would find useful as they contemplate their futures and strive to be the best that they can be.

Through Siong Guan's reflections, interviews with people who personally know him well, sharings from people who have worked with him, as well as media articles, you get a glimpse into Siong Guan's humble beginnings, his inspirational public service career from 1969 to 2019, and more. You will see how the future of Singapore and the people he works with have been his consistent focus and constant obsession.

This book shares how Siong Guan exceled in school and his career with a curious and searching mind, as well as a heart of empathy and service - never seeking fame or fortune, he chases opportunities not money, and seeks to serve rather than be served.

Working for Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Dr Goh Keng Swee, the powerful core of Singapore's founding leaders, Siong Guan saw first-hand how Singapore's success as a start-up nation came 
through innovation and creativity. And he believes Singapore's continued survivability requires an unswerving vision with even more innovation and creativity.

Mr Lee Kuan Yew brought Singapore from third world to first. Where does Singapore go from here?

Siong Guan digs into his 50 years of public service for pointers on where Singapore should go and how it can get there, so that Singapore can always be the home of opportunity, where "The Best is Yet to Be"!

Lim Siong Guan: The Best Is Yet To Be

Success can hide a lot of pain. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down. OVERVIEW Anthony Giannotti looked successful from the outside, but inside he was quietly falling apart. A nationally recognized barber, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of multiple thriving businesses, Giannotti had built the life he'd always wanted. But behind the packed barbershops, sold-out classes, and endless travel lived something darker: anxiety, addiction, broken relationships, crushing self-doubt, and the "black cloud" that followed him everywhere he went. Then came the morning he woke in a hotel room to the news that Anthony Bourdain had died by suicide. That moment became the razor's edge between the life he was living—and the one he still had a chance to save. No Guard is an unflinching memoir about chasing success while losing yourself, growing up in a strict religious household, finding purpose through barbering and punk rock, surviving divorce, addiction, and depression, and discovering that healing isn't found in fame, money, or another drink—it's found in finally facing the parts of yourself you've spent a lifetime trying to outrun. Raw, darkly funny, and deeply compassionate, No Guard offers an unforgettable portrait of masculinity, vulnerability, and second chances. For anyone who has wrestled with anxiety, questioned their worth, or wondered whether it's ever too late to start over, Anthony Giannotti proves that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down.

How women in and around the Guinness family - including Adelaide, Lady Iveagh and Olive, Lady Ardilaun - helped to transform the life and fabric of Dublin and the social history of Ireland.In the 19th century Guinness not only became the world's largest brewery, it was also a pioneering force in providing good conditions for its workforce. This approach shaped social programmes in Dublin and further afield, transforming healthcare, social housing and urban improvement. But it was the women of the family who first promulgated that culture.Women such as the sisters Anne and Rebecca Lee Guinness, who championed support for women's health surprisingly early on. Women like Adelaide, Lady Iveagh and Olive, Lady Ardilaun, who wielded influence at the heart of Ireland's elite. And women who worked in fields such as fashion, medicine and the markets, all part of Guinness's wider Dublin ecosystem. From the bestselling historian Antonia Hart, and based on new archival research, Guinness Women tells a riveting new story of the impact made by remarkable women in and around the early generations of the great brewing family.Word count: 70,000 words.

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

Levi's former CEO--who joined the company after a 28-year career at Procter &amp; Gamble, where dozens of his direct reports became CEOs of other companies--shares how to build great brands and ignite growth.Levi's was lost. For more than a decade, the company that changed how the world dressed had been stagnating--at one point near bankruptcy--as its iconic product, 501 jeans, faded into a nostalgic relic amid more-fashionable competitors.Fast-forward to today. Levi's are back and just about everywhere, from college campuses and concerts to workplaces and red carpets. Influencers style them. Taylor Swift sings about them, and Beyoncé and Post Malone's hit "Levii's Jeans" compares them to a lover's hug. To paraphrase British Vogue, the jeans beloved by James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Springsteen, and Kurt Cobain, as well as presidents and protestors, are once again part of the culture, worn by style icons like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, as well as moms and dads.This is the inspiring, instructive story of Levi's resurgence, from the CEO who led it.Chip Bergh was a die-hard Levi's fan when he was tapped to be CEO thanks to his track record leading successful brands at P&amp;G. In this brisk narrative, he reveals the most consequential decisions and the six timeless tenets of what he coins "brand-driven leadership" that fueled Levi's revival: origin stories matter; the brand is the business; marketing is an investment, not an expense; be customer obsessed; control how the brand shows up; and play the long game.With rich storytelling and actionable insights, Bergh shows how universal leadership principles returned Levi's to relevance, as he surprises readers with fun facts about the history of the company that introduced denim jeans to the world.For any leader facing crucial strategic choices, and anyone who loves jeans, A Levi's Story is a compelling narrative and a vital resource to start, build, or revive brands and unlock growth.

Reviving an Iconic Brand

A Levi's Story

A gripping and entertaining memoir that shines a rare light on an industry that is disrupting our lives. Veteran Morgan Stanley banker Alok Sama thought he'd seen it all. Then he found himself chief dealmaker at the most influential technology investor in the world-SoftBank, the backer of Arm Holdings, Yahoo, Nvidia, TikTok, Uber, T-Mobile, Alibaba and WeWork. The Money Trap is Sama's thrilling, stranger-than-fiction personal odyssey featuring his experiences alongside SoftBank's iconic founder, Masayoshi Son, a visionary maverick who wants to be remembered as "the crazy guy who bet on the future" and whose mission is "happiness for everyone." Sama takes the reader on a wild journey as he consorts with A-list CEOs and heads of state, and negotiates mega-deals on a Gulfstream jet, Son's sanctuary with its exquisite Japanese garden, and a waterside restaurant in the Turkish Riviera-all while contending with a mysterious dark-arts smear campaign that takes a toll on his private life. This fascinating and humorous saga provides a unique insider perspective on the insanity of high finance and venture investing. Written with self-deprecating wit, unflinching honesty and searing introspection, The Money Trap is ultimately a morality tale: in life, as in technology investing, more money isn't always the answer.

Lost Illusions Inside the Tech Bubble

The Money Trap

Escrito en 1913 durante la Edad Dorada de los estafadores financieros, Mi aventura con tu dinero es uno de los libros más extraños, entretenidos y reveladores que existen sobre dinero, especulación, fraude y psicología de masas. No es un libro escrito por una víctima de una estafa: es el testimonio de un estafador que conoció el juego desde dentro. Estados Unidos acababa de vivir décadas de crecimiento explosivo. Surgían fortunas inmensas en ferrocarriles, minería, petróleo e industria, mientras Wall Street y los auges mineros prometían riqueza instantánea a quienes querían creer. En ese mundo apareció George Graham Rice, maestro de la publicidad y promotor de acciones mineras bajo la sombra de la fiebre del oro, capaz de convertir rumores, titulares y esperanzas en una maquinaria para atraer el dinero del público. Las estafas cambian, pero la naturaleza humana no. Por eso este libro sigue resultando sorprendentemente moderno: una mirada directa a las promesas de enriquecimiento rápido, la manipulación bursátil y el deseo de recuperar lo perdido. Traducido al español por María Inés del Valle para Editorial Héroe, es una lectura esencial para quienes desean comprender cómo se venden las ilusiones financieras y por qué tantos siguen comprándolas.

The Poetry of Science: From Einstein to Curie: How Curiosity, Misfit Thinking, and Unconventional Childhoods Shaped the World's Greatest Geniuses

Little Misfits, Big Brains

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;
