Gore A: The Four Principles

The Four Principles

The rise, fall, and revival of the Caesar of Silicon Valley. Elon Musk famously leads his companies from a bully pulpit, cutting through red tape whenever possible with little regard for the fallout. Musk's approach to business and politics is truly singular - he alternately seems to be either in complete command or on the verge of a meltdown, and many in his orbit have had their lives upended by buying into his utopian vision. From the chaotic launch of the Tesla Cybertruck to his decision to reshape Twitter into 'X' as part of his self-proclaimed mission to defeat the 'woke mind virus', Musk is seemingly drawn to public controversy, yet he has emerged from these turbulent moments more influential and powerful than ever. Hubris Maximus offers an unprecedented insight into the motives and mindset that have driven Musk's stratospheric rise to power. In this cautionary tale about the pitfalls of magnetic leaders, Washington Post journalist Faiz Siddiqui offers a gripping portrait of a uniquely messy and lucrative period in Musk's career, one which has seen him ascend into a key role in Trump's administration.

Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel's iconic Creative Director for thirty-five years, was a cultural luminary like no other. Larger than life, Lagerfeld was legendary not only for reinventing Chanel but also for his idiosyncratic personal style and captivating life, which featured a cast of the world's most famous, fabulous and fascinating people. Not least his cat, Choupette, who herself became a fashion icon. Journalist and author William Middleton spent years working in Paris for Women's Wear Daily, W, and Harper's Bazaar. During his time there, he interviewed and socialized with Lagerfeld, coming to to see a side the elusive designer kept private from the world. In this deliciously entertaining book, Middleton takes us inside the most exclusive rooms in the fashion industry, behind the catwalk, and into a world of brilliantly talented artists, stylish socialites, and famous stars-some of the most elusive and unforgettable figures of fashion's inner circle for the past four decades.

"In this rich, intelligent, and witty memoir, the President and CEO of Essence Ventures-a woman with a defiant intuition who rejects cultural expectations and outside influence-tells how she charted her own destiny, offering inspiration and advice to help everyone on their own journey to becoming everything they were born to be. That confidence took her from interning at Target to becoming the company's Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, and eventually to the top of Essence Ventures, where she has only magnified her reach. Oprah Winfrey once emotionally remarked that Wanga reminded her of the great Maya Angelou with the strength and clarity of her purpose and voice. But Wanga has faced challenges along the way, including losing her sense of identity and veering from living her purpose. Throughout the narrative, told in her raw, purposeful, yet humorous voice, she separates the person from the profession, to help us understand the sequence of all that transpired in her life and the lessons she discovered along the way"--

In this rich, transparent, and witty memoir, the Co-Founder of WangaWoman LLC, current President &amp; CEO of Essence Ventures, and ambassador of authenticity navigates the lifelong battle between her intuition and inner saboteur delivering “instigational” inspiration with a passion to help every person discover the purpose they were born to deliver to the world. Published by Amistad in collaboration with Lavette Books.It Ain’t Math, it’s MISSION powered by INTUITION.Intuition is like the “endocrine system” of authenticity and purpose. Most of us don’t know its full function until it malfunctions, and every part of your existence that depends on it goes into dysfunction. At that point, every part of your anatomy (humanity) becomes compromised until the system can move into repair and recovery, which is a complex and intrusive restoration journey that will scare you just enough to never “not mind” your intuition ever again. At its apex, you move forward in ways that are generally accepted as good, bad, and most importantly, less-worse.“I’m Highly Percent Sure,” invites your curiosity to my co-existence with intuition, sometimes with foresight but oftentimes, without.You don’t have to agree to engage, but if you aren’t engaging, please only occupy the periphery as seating is reserved for those who intend to #TakeNotesDoItBetter. There is limited space for those who only intend to spectate.#IYKYKOnward!

The 52 Habits Standing Between You and Your Best Life

Success Through Less

Ellen Ullman's humane, insightful, and beautifully written memoir is a cult classic exploring the ever-complicating intersections between people and technology. Writing from 1990s San Francisco, where she ran a programming business that served everyone from credit card companies to AIDS clinics, she describes the strange ecstasies of programming and the even stranger social dynamics of the emerging California tech world, where she crosses paths with the men and women of the emerging internet: sleeping with them, competing with them, trying to get them to debug her systems and decode her desires. Equally evocative of the messiness of life and the artful efficiency of code, Close to the Machine is a deeply personal, prescient account of working at the forefront of computing.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem's personal story is also a history of modern Dubai, whose economic miracle he has played a central role in developing for more than 40 years. In this memoir he recalls in candid detail the trials and triumphs of his colourful and successful career.

From Billions in Debt to Trillions in Trade

The magnitude of error in building a skyscraper is staggeringly large. Flaws in engineering take on exponential importance with every level you go up. The cost of mistakes can easily multiply into tens of millions of dollars. If a piece of plywood isn't secured properly and flies off the deck, someone down below might end up dead. That's the horror of the business. It's also the beauty.
Autobiography of a Skyscraper-documenting in both words and pictures the making of 1000M, a 74-story gleaming tower in the heart of Chicago-is the story of the most dynamic workplace one could ever imagine. From the financiers who secure the many hundreds of millions of dollars needed for construction to the installers who jump atop the window frames from nearly a thousand feet up in the air, hundreds of people work together in the miracle of organization that is building a skyscraper. It is an orchestra, where no matter how small the part, everyone must play in tune and together.
The conductor of this particular orchestra is Francis Greenburger, a real estate titan with nearly half a century of investing in and developing properties around the world. However, just as 1000M was built by a wide array of skills, so&nbsp;Autobiography of a Skyscraper&nbsp;weaves the personal accounts of many of those involved into a single narrative of how a tower rises. Unlike traditional books on architecture and construction, it marries instructive and technical elements with the intimacy and pace of a memoir.
Architecture or urban planning buffs will be given a wide lens into understanding the impact of their work. For the casual reader, they will see the extent to which there's a gripping story behind every building in the sky.&nbsp;Autobiography of a Skyscraper&nbsp;will not only serve as a written record of this significant architectural addition to Chicago, but also as a blueprint for real estate developers, financial institutions, architects, city planners, designers, construction workers, and anybody else interested in what it takes to change a city's skyline.
