'A valuable guide to turning investment knowledge into better investment behaviour.' - Wes Gray, PhD, CEO, Alpha Architect Warren Buffett is the world's greatest investor, yet most people ignore his advice, chasing fads instead.

He translates groundbreaking research into a practical framework so you learn to:<ul><li>Develop your own investment principles to follow</li><li>Determine the level of risk that is right for you</li><li>Silence "market noise"and ignore destructive forecasts</li><li>Master the temperament required to stay the course</li></ul> This new edition includes the latest academic evidence on Buffett's investing philosophy, demonstrating that the secret to successful investing is simpler than you think. Stop guessing and start growing your wealth using the proven, timeless principles that built Berkshire Hathaway.

How to play the winner's game in investing and life

Think, Act and Invest Like Warren Buffett

Two of the world's leading researchers on behavior and decision-making join forces to equip readers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to live their fullest human life in an age of powerful technology.We have more choice than ever before yet feel less in control. This book is about fighting back—individually and collectively—and becoming the best of ourselves.Drawing on over 1,000 experiments run across more than seventy countries, Halpern and Costa pair rigorous scientific findings with compelling stories, to pull back the curtain on the psychological, systemic, and technological forces that shape our decisions and behavior. More than that, they outline practical ways to make better decisions and put humans back in the driver’s seat with agency to shape—rather than be manipulated by—the forces around us.Super-Human unfolds across three parts: <ul><li>Human. What can each of us do to sharpen our own decision-making and strengthen our agency?</li><li>Supra-Human. How can we design social networks, markets, and institutions to expand human agency?</li><li>Super-Human. How can we shape artificial intelligence so that it amplifies human capability and agency rather than replacing or eroding it?</li></ul>Our minds have been shaped by the technologies and institutions of our ancestors, in ways they could not have anticipated. We have an advantage they lacked: we can see the choices coming. Super-Human ultimately asks us to make the biggest choice of all: in an age when machines can “think,” act, and even “feel” on our behalf—what kind of humans do we want to be? Can we become both more super, and more human?

Reclaiming Our Power to Choose and Shape the Future

Super-Human

Discover how to adapt, adopt, and thrive in an AI-anxious era, written by the man with the compass for our maze Expecting the apocalypse around the corner? This book is your playbook to surviving the rise of machine learning. 71% of workers are anxious about AI. The good news: the machines still need you, and you can make them work for you. Don't Panic cuts through the noise, showing you exactly how this technology works and where it fails, and why your human judgment is more valuable than ever. Instead of focusing on technical skills or abstract predictions, author Nate B. Jones ("AI Nate") begins with the emotional reality behind AI anxiety, drawing on his 20-years experience in the tech industry. He's garnered trust from more than 1 million people to help them stay relevant in a rapidly changing technological landscape. AI might have a planet-sized brain, but just like Marvin the Android from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, it’s permanently stuck at factory settings. It can’t learn, it can’t adapt, and it can’t gain wisdom. This book reveals why AI's permanent blind spots make human judgment more valuable today than ever before.&nbsp; Worry less, and start owning your future.

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.

Set and Design, Mind and Environment

Background Matters: Volume 9

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.

The Illusion of Choice

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.

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.
