A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read

‘Eye opening, deeply researched, and snort-out-your-nose funny. I dare you to put it down.’ William Bernstein, author of The Four Pillars of Investing


‘Refreshingly unequivocal advice.’ Publishers Weekly


In richly told stories and wild self experiments, historian and investor Joseph Moore tests history’s best and worst financial advice to find what worked, what didn’t, and why everyday people can still get ahead – including you.


What if so-called timeless beliefs about money like ‘invest for the long run’, ‘compound interest builds wealth’ and ‘property value always goes up’ were shockingly new . . . and rarely true?

From Benjamin Franklin to TikTok gurus, what ‘everyone knows’ about personal finance is constantly changing over time. In How to Get Rich the American Way, Joseph Moore shares the unexpected and counterintuitive lessons of the past so we can make the most of our own finances today. He explores financial folklore, forgotten bestsellers and self-help fads, as well as the real lives of everyday people whose fortunes rose or fell by following them.

Along the way, Moore tests history’s best and worst advice on his own finances, with hair-raising and hilarious results. His personal journey includes wild investments, get-rich-quick schemes and founding a cryptocurrency. By the end, to his own very great surprise, he has become a multi-millionaire.

Filled with eye-opening insights you can apply yourself, How to Get Rich the American Way pushes back against sceptics who claim the American dream is out of reach. This is a thoughtful, practical, and surprisingly hopeful read that sheds new light on the prospects of getting by and getting ahead today.

“An essential read for anyone committed to understanding the technologies that will define our future.” CHRISTIAN ANGERMAYER, BIOTECH ENTREPRENEUR AND FOUNDER OF APEIRON INVESTMENT GROUP

Welcome to the biotech revolution
In the last century, technology has transformed the human experience across the world. This has been super-charged by the arrival of the internet, smart phones, AI and machine learning, and created trillion-plus dollar companies and household names like Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

Our Future is Biotech explains why biotech is next: because our biggest remaining challenges as a species concern biological systems.

Biotech companies will solve our most intractable problems, from cancer, dementia, obesity and diabetes to elderly care, mental health conditions, and even clean power generation, agricultural production and environmental degradation.

Biotech means that we can all live better, safer, healthier, wealthier, happier, and longer lives.
The industry has already delivered “miracle cures” for several diseases, and there is more to come. But despite this, few people are aware of the phenomenal progress being made. Our Future is Biotech addresses this, explaining what biotech is, what is coming next, and how you might profit from it too.

Tech has been the most important theme for human progress for the last century. Biotech is next.

FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE MONTH

‘Full of powerful, practical lessons on changing how we think and act.’
Eric Schmidt, former CEO and Chairman of Google

‘Many principles mentioned in the book helped us build Zoom, and they will help you as well.’
Eric S. Yuan, founder and CEO, Zoom

Inspired by venture capitalists’ unique way of thinking, The Venture Mindset offers a transformative playbook for delivering results in a rapidly changing world from a top Stanford professor and a technology executive.

Venture capitalists are known for their extraordinary ability to spot opportunities. They know how to identify emerging trends, how to bring new industries into being, and when to hold them and when to fold. Their unique way of thinking has made them the force behind world-changing companies such as Amazon, Google, Moderna, SpaceX, and Zoom.

Stanford Professor Ilya Strebulaev has devoted two decades to studying VCs’ counterintuitive approaches to decision-making and the reasons behind the successes and failures of corporate innovations. Alex Dang has witnessed up close how VCs’ thinking and mechanisms can create successful businesses at companies like Amazon and McKinsey.

Combining their insight and extensive experience, they present nine distinct principles that will help you make better decisions, transform your business, and achieve remarkable results, no matter your industry.

In The Venture Mindset, you’ll learn:

– One question VCs ask that will change the way you evaluate opportunities
– Why you should encourage dissent and be wary of consensus
– The number one killer of innovation in traditional corporate environments
– Why it’s crucial to learn when to ‘pull the plug’ on initiatives
– Why failure is not just an option, but a necessity

Packed with entertaining stories and scientific precision, The Venture Mindset is a must-read for anyone who wants to be better equipped for the era of uncertainty when industry, company, and career can be disrupted overnight. The Venture Mindset will teach you more than how to simply survive. It’ll teach you how to win big.

A RINGSIDE SEAT ON SOME OF THE BIGGEST DEALS AND BIGGEST PERSONALITIES IN BUSINESS AND GLOBAL POLITICS.

They are just four letters on an electronic ticker tape, but FTSE has become a byword for money, power, influence and – crucially, after numerous financial crises – trust.

How this organisation, FTSE International, brought order to the financial system over several decades, is a story of how capitalism globalized and a data revolution transformed the investment industry. It is a story of how a team of innovators seized an opportunity to build a business that today leads its field and guides the fortunes of an astonishing $16 trillion of funds. It is a story that Mark Makepeace, founding Chief Executive of FTSE International, knows better than anybody.

FTSE is a ringside seat on some of the biggest deals and biggest personalities in business and global politics, chronicling how the FTSE 100 was born, behind-the-scenes rows with chief executives of some of the world’s largest companies, political in-fighting, diplomatic incidents, and the ferocious dealmaking that followed over 35 years of market boom and bust.

FTSE is a story which should inform and fascinate anyone interested in capital markets.’ Sir Donald Brydon, CBE

“WHEN I SEE MEMOS FROM HOWARD MARKS IN MY MAIL, THEY’RE THE FIRST THING I OPEN AND READ” Warren Buffett

HOWARD IS A LEGENDARY INVESTOR” Tony Robbins

We all know markets rise and fall, but when should you pull out, and when should you stay in? The answer is never black or white, but is best reached through a keen understanding of the reasons behind the rhythm of cycles. Confidence about where we are in a cycle comes when you learn the patterns of ups and downs that influence not just economics, markets, and companies, but also human psychology and the investing behaviors that result.

If you study past cycles, understand their origins and remain alert for the next one, you will become keenly attuned to the investment environment as it changes. You’ll be aware and prepared while others get blindsided by unexpected events or fall victim to emotions like fear and greed.

By following Marks’s insights – drawn in part from his iconic memos over the years to Oaktree’s clients – you can master these recurring patterns to have the opportunity to improve your investing results.

For most managers, the normal round of hectic schedules, tricky staff issues and impending deadlines are well within their management capabilities. It is the financial issues that give them headaches. Nobody has ever explained how to balance sales against costs, how to interpret financial reports, how to prepare a budget or even how to argue the case for the new equipment their department needs so badly. They have no idea why the company’s share price keeps falling and certainly don’t understand why this should result in layoffs. In fact, the whole issue of finance is a mystery. Successful management of the finances of a business requires an understanding of some key principles – and that is what NAKED FINANCE is all about. It strips away all the technical issues surrounding financial management and lays bare the principles needed to make sound financial decisions. Firstly, Meckin shows how to identify financial objectives so you know where you are going – explaining the importance of profit and cashflow, how to measure financial performance and which are the key figures to watch. He then outlines how to use financial information to understand what’s going on around you, covering the format and content of financial statements and how they can be used to assess past trading performance. Finally he describes how to ensure financial control and create a financial plan so you can take control of where you are going, managing costs, sales, profit and cash flow and long-term projects. Purely and simply, NAKED FINANCE provides the skills necessary to manage a profitable business.

We have to make decisions all the time. Our lives are full of them, from the work we choose to the amount we save for retirement, to when, where and how we replenish our energy through socializing and play. How well we make them depends on developing, practising and mastering a consistent and reliable approach.
Reaching and keeping senior positions at work depend on our ability to make good decisions all the time: more interesting and more responsible work carries the rights to make more and wider-reaching decisions. The higher up any organization, the more difficult and more influential the decisions that are made.
But were any of us taught at school, college or work how to make better decisions?

This book, by Sharon Curry and Andrew St George, provides a very simple system for making good decisions, tried and tested in a wide variety of workplaces, and under extreme conditions with clients from military to health to commercial to consultancies to international governments. The process derives from the Royal Marines and military planning, fully extended and adapted to match the challenges of everyday lives. The process is underwritten by sound psychological principles – used right, it will never let you down.

Negotiation isn’t about being tough. It’s about being clear, self-aware, and true to your values.

Everyday negotiation has changed. It’s no longer a skill reserved for the boardroom or the elite. In a world where our personal and professional lives are increasingly intertwined, everyone is negotiating – at work with managers, clients, teams, and vendors, and at home with family or friends, and even with ourselves.

But when the stakes are personal, negotiation often feels vulnerable, emotional, and overwhelming. Traditional advice to remain detached, use data-driven arguments and hardball tactics no longer reflects how humans actually make decisions.

The new rules of negotiation are people-centered, emotionally aware and values-driven. Drawing on twenty years experience as employment attorney, Kristen Prinz uses real-life cases and a practical framework to help you:

Define what truly matters and separate what you want from what others expect
Understand your motivations, fears, and emotional triggers so they stop steering the negotiation.
Recognize the hidden motivations of others and use them to create influence.
Harness your natural strengths, whether quiet, emotional, assertive, analytical, or anything in between.
Adapt your strategy using timing, communication, mindset shifts, and people-focused preparation.
Transform your internal voice from a critic into a coach so you can advocate for what you want and deserve.

New Rules of Negotiation offers a modern, compassionate roadmap to negotiating with confidence, so you can get what truly matters most to you.

Discover how to:
-Build thriving ecosystems where collaboration fuels breakthrough innovation
-Align culture, people, and technology to drive sustainable growth
-Build organizational agility while retaining operational excellence
-Ignite engagement that turns every employee into an innovator and champion for the organization
-Navigate mergers, reorganizations, and rapid scaling with confidence and strategic clarity

Developed and refined through partnerships with Peter Senge’s Innovation Associates and the Tom Peters Company, this approach gives you the practical tools to stop fighting fires one by one and start creating reinforcing feedback loops that build momentum, excitement and off-the-chart results.
