Thrive
Arianna Huffington
05/09/2020-05/22/2020
In Thrive, Arianna Huffington wrote a passionate call to arms, looking to redefine what it means to be successful in
today's world. In a commencement address she gave at Smith College in the spring of 2013, Arianna likened our
drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. It may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or
later we're going to topple over. We need a third leg - a Third Metric for defining success. In this deeply
personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands
of a career and two daughters - of juggling business deadlines and family crises, a harried dance that led to
her collapse - and to her "aha moment". Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in
the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of
meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our
thinking, our workplaces, and our lives.

The Laws of Human Nature
Robert Greene
02/28/2020-03/08/2020
We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they
do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing
from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene
teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy
that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular
sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human
Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.

Smart People Should Build Things
Andrew Yang
01/19/2020-01/24/2020
Andrew Yang makes the case for inspiring entrepreneurship and innovation in the United States. Throughout the
book Yang explores the talent -
or - "brain drain" that's causing some of the brightest minds to stear away from innovating and stay on a proven
path to stability in finance or consulting.
Yang makes the case that while those industries are important, they only work if they have companies to take on
as clients. If everybody is consulting, there is nobody to consult.
If everybody is looking to underwrite a company for an IPO, there is no one left to start a company to bring
public. Yang's ideas at first glance seem to be
unimportant in today's world, there are plenty of companies to consult and plenty of private companies to take
public- however the data he provides shows us that a major
talent crisis may not be something too far in the future.
