May Contain Lies: How Stories, Statistics and Studies Exploit Our Biases - And What We Can Do About

Brought to you by Penguin. A ground-breaking book that reveals why our human biases effect the way we receive and interpret information Our lives are minefields of misinformation. Stories, statistics and studies lie to us on a daily basis. Not only this but, as Professor Alex Edmans reveals, our brains lie to us too. He argues that we need to acknowledge and understand the role that our own human biases play in interpreting and digesting the information that we consume. It's only when we do, that we can actively resist being manipulated, and make informed decisions that improve our lives. ©2024 Alex Edmans (P)2024 Penguin Audio

Grow the Pie: How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit

What is a responsible business? Common wisdom is that it's one that sacrifices profit for social outcomes. But while it's crucial for companies to serve society, they also have a duty to generate profit for investors-savers, retirees, and pension funds. Based on the highest-quality evidence and real-life examples spanning industries and countries, Alex Edmans shows that it's not an either-or choice-companies can create both profit and social value. The most successful companies don't target profit directly but are driven by purpose-the desire to serve a societal need and contribute to human betterment. The audio book explains how to embed purpose into practice so that it's more than just a mission statement, and it discusses the critical role of working collaboratively with a company's investors, employees, and customers. Rigorous research also uncovers surprising results on how executive pay, shareholder activism, and share buybacks can be used for the common good.
