Miller L: Why Fish Don't Exist

Why Fish Don't Exist

A Story of Finding Our Way in a Chaotic World

Summer 2014. Crimea has been seized; death and destruction are running wild in eastern Ukraine. Michael Pugh has heard the rumble of dragons awakening, and despite the splendor of life as an expat lawyer in Moscow, decides it is time to go. With a love of Russia dating back to his student days, Michael chooses to leave the slow way: by horse.Riding west through a bucolic Russian landscape of wildflower meadows to monasteries and historic battle sites is like riding back in time. Soon, Dog Friday joins Michael and they ride deeper into a vast wilderness, dotted with forgotten aristocratic estates meeting fascinating characters along the way.There's a change of pace in Belarus when Michael swaps his Kabardin steed Parliament for Marlboro, a stallion with a nose for adventure. Fire, dancing and song envelop him at the midsummer festival of Kupala. Riding on, he explores the vanished lives of the Poles and the Jews. Despite dark warnings about Ukraine, Michael finds a welcoming people, fiercely proud to defend their beautiful country from Russia. Finally, he navigates the complex legacy of Austria-Hungary in Romania. Throughout, his journey is lifted by the antics of horses, guides and stable girls; by the kindness of the strangers and friends and by the great quantities of delicious food and fiery moonshine.

Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.The true, larger-than-life story of George "Boe" Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his "don't just break the rules but make up new ones" attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs.This is a modern-day 'Big Fish' tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him.Boe helped create the clunkiest - many would say ugliest - looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago - and it's bigger now than it's ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful... We're not talking about the shoe anymore.In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else. Strap in because it's going to be a crazy ride, and you may be surprised at what you learn in the end. Funny, twisted, touching, exuberant. Sample lessons include: <ul><li>Do Not Listen to Anyone</li><li>When to Not Follow the Rules</li><li>Avoid Bosses</li><li>You Never Know When Opportunity Will Present Itself</li><li>If You Threaten to Kill Your Brother-in-Law, Do Not Provide Time and Place.</li><li>Ugly is Beautiful </li></ul>

Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.

Bake It 'Til You Make It

"A much-needed dose of comfort and positivity." —Shanna Tan, translator of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop Tabby cat Fuuta has passed into the afterlife and will do anything to see his human again . . . if only he can not disrupt the balance of the universe. After a long life with a loving human family, tabby cat Fuuta has passed into the afterlife, but he is not as far from his owner, Michiru, as it seems. Slight openings bridge the divide between the lands of the living and the dead, and they can be traversed. Eager to see Michiru again, Fuuta interviews for a position at Café Pont, a café that exists in the liminal space between the two worlds, known for its unique message delivery service: Customers leave requests with the name of the person they wish to meet, and a messenger cat is assigned to arrange the "meeting." If Fuuta doesn’t maintain plausible deniability, he could cause panic amongst the living, or worse: He could upset the balance of the universe itself. It is a weighty task for an old tabby cat, but Fuuta is up for the challenge. After all, the job offers a special reward: the right to see Michiru. And he’ll do anything to reunite with his family.

In the era of artificial intelligence, the hardest question is no longer how to build but what to create. Part memoir and part practical guide, The Founders Journey reveals what separates a successful start-up from the rest.Garry Tan, President and CEO of Y Combinator, also provides deeply personal insight on his own journey from a precarious childhood in Fremont to the center of Silicon Valley, where he has helped launch thousands of companies, including Airbnb, Coinbase, and Stripe.Through real-world case studies and hard-earned lessons, this book teaches founders to develop the judgment to seize opportunities others miss—and the resilience to pursue them before they make sense to anyone else. It also confronts the human side of building: co-founder conflict, self-sabotage, and the psychological patterns that shape decision-making under pressure. In a moment when technology has unlocked unprecedented individual leverage, the future will belong to those who can decide what is worth building and act on it.

The Founder's Journey

“Such a cute baby, where did you get her?”
“This is such a good thing you are doing.”
“My friends were lucky, they got a white baby.”
Born in Germany in the 1960s to war-traumatized&nbsp;parents, Martina Dahlmanns&nbsp;grew up in middle class suburbia, surrounded by loaded silences and unacknowledged prejudice. But she believes she’s left those prejudices behind when, in her thirties, she moves to South Africa and becomes the adoptive mother of three black children.
Unable to answer increasingly difficult questions from her eldest, Lele, Martina turns to a community dialogue group. There, she meets Tumi Jonas-Mpofu, a young black woman from Gugulethu, whose friendship will define Martina’s life and force her to reckon with the enduring impact of her privilege.
This timely and deeply personal memoir is a celebration of chosen family—but beyond that, it is an acute examination of the legacy of racism in adoption.

Freitauchen

Leadership has entered a new era-one where pressure doesn't arrive and leave but lingers. Where crises overlap. Where resilience is no longer optional, and connection alone is no longer enough.
 In Rally, former LVMH and Disney senior executive and global leadership advisor Greg Morley delivers a timely, deeply human guide to leading when uncertainty is constant and the stakes feel personal.
 Drawing on his own leadership journey and the powerful stories of twelve figures whose lives span genocide survival, entrepreneurial collapse, caregiving, terminal illness, and professional reinvention, Morley shows that resilience is not grit, toughness, or blind endurance. It is the ability to stay steady, connected, and clear-headed under pressure without leaving damage behind.
 Rally builds on the foundation of Morley's acclaimed first book, Bond, moving beyond belonging to answer a harder question: How do leaders mobilize people when the ground is shifting, and fear is close at hand?
 Each chapter offers practical, research-backed guidance for the moments leaders face most often and are least prepared for:
 How to stabilize yourself before mobilizing others
How to tell the truth without creating fear
How to hold perspective when stakes feel overwhelming
How to design support instead of playing hero
How to stay grounded when success changes the rules.



 Written with clarity, compassion, and hard-earned wisdom, Rally is a book about becoming reliable under pressure for your teams, your organization, and yourself. If you want to be more resilient, this book is for you.
