READERS’ REVIEWS “This is a tremendously useful book. If you apply the book sincerely, your outlook and understanding of what is happening in your life (especially the portions where you are struggling) will change. A deep book [...] based on principles rather than simple prescriptions. The writing is simple and direct rather than flowery. It is clear that the author has implemented what he says in his own life. There are quick and effective action points at the end of most chapters. Some of the individual chapters are themselves worth the price of the book. If you are the sort of person who likes something both practical and thoughtful, do buy and read this book.” – Balaji Srinivasa...

Teams do not act, but react. They learn not from words and speeches, but from their work environment. They respond to the incentives that are communicated through action, not words. Your decisions are important not just for their immediate result, but for the future behaviors they make more likely in your subordinates. In my experience, few managers use this phenomenon to their advantage, resulting in motivated and productive teams. Conversely, most either have no idea of this phenomenon or acknowledge it in theory but ignore it in practice. For example, here are some mistakes I see many managers make: Waiting too much to acknowledge something good that one of their subordinates did, with th...
A.D. 1494 - the earliest known writer on bookkeeping
This volume deals with a topic at central to the Italian historiographical debate, namely the Italian authorities’ attitude in the occupied territories during the Second World War and, in particular, towards the local Jewish communities. Through a reconstruction that is the result of authors with different sensitivities and historiographic approaches, the contradictory nature of the application of anti-Jewish legislation by Italian authorities emerges; an application that went from protection to more or less rigid internment up to handing them over to German authorities. A historiographically innovative book, therefore, that aims to shed light on one of the most dramatic events of the Second World War: the persecution of the Jewish population.

Yet, most people take the opposite approach. Here are three examples: The manager who sees each interaction with her team as a separate game. Every time she talks to her subordinates, it’s to get thin...
