Condition: COME NUOVO. Milano, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore cm.15x21, pp.209, brossura con bandelle e copertina figurata. Collana Strade Blu. Non Fiction. Che ruolo hanno le emozioni, il caso e la fiducia negli affari, nelle decisioni su come impiegare i soldi e più in generale nel perseguire gli obiettivi? E poi, una volta portato… a termine un buon business, una volta ottenuto ciò che si è a lungo desiderato, si è davvero felici? Il denaro non da la felicità: una frase che può persino sembrare ingenua o ipocrita, se a pronunciarla è uno degli uomini più ricchi del pianeta. Eppure Jacob Burak, storico fondatore di Evergreen, una delle società di investimenti israeliane di maggiore successo al mondo, ne ha le prove, e sono inconfutabili: parlano per lui ricerche e studi sul comportamento umano. Ma gli scimpanzè sognano la pensione? non è il solito libro di un milionario desideroso di raccontarsi e di offrire il segreto del suo successo. Con molta ironia e semplicità affronta il rapporto fra le realtà finanziarie e l'etologia umana e animale, analizza fattori come fortuna, paura e desiderio di serenità, confuta in modo inequivocabile svariati cliché del mondo degli affari. Partendo dal presupposto che il comportamento umano, tanto in campo economico quanto nella sfera personale, è influenzato da fattori genetici e di tipo sociale che accomunano l'uomo ai primati, Burak insegna a superare le difficoltà professionali e della vita quotidiana, a prendere realmente coscienza di alcune piccole e grandi scelte in grado di cambiare l'esistenza, a individuare un personale percorso verso la felicità. Traduzione di Anna Zapparoli.

Add to basketSoftcover. Condition: Very Good. An inquiry into what it is about our experiences and cultures that brings out the differences and reveals the similarities in us as humans beings, in the vein of Malcolm Gladwell and Daniel Kahneman. An inquiry into what it is about our experiences and cultures that brings out the differences and… reveals the similarities in us as humans beings, in the vein of Malcolm Gladwell and Daniel Kahneman. Jacob Burak is on a quest to answer the question Â"are we as human beings, who are separated by different cultures and experiences, similar or different?Â" Through the lens of behavioural studies, we see how, while our approaches differ and often conflict, we all strive for similar things: love, acceptance, power and understanding. How to Find a Black Cat in a Dark Room offers the latest scientific studies of human behaviour alongside accessible anecdotes to examine the universal human experiences of comparing ourselves to others, the need to belong, the urge to achieve and the anxiety and uncertainty of life itself. More importantly, Burak shows us how, in understanding these behavioural patterns, we learn that we are actually more alike than we are different; that our rivals often make us stronger; and that being trusting can help us live longer. With his inquisitive nature, logical thinking and engaging style, Burak examines whether it is destiny or personality that controls our lives, through intriguing subjects such as: Â What are the ten rules for happiness that are entirely under our control? Â Why do smart people make stupid mistakes? Â What distinguishes bureaucrats and entrepreneurs? Â What are the psychological differences between liberals and conservatives? Â In what circumstances is it right to surrender our privacy? Â Does it pay to trust people? 237 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.

Paperback. Condition: New. HOW TO FIND A BLACK CAT IN A DARK ROOM IS ABOUT THE THINGS MONEY JUST CAN'T BUY."An entertaining journey to the peaks and valleys of human nature. Research from cognitive and social psychology you can apply in your day-to-day life." Rolf Dobelli, bestselling author of The Art of Thinking ClearlyVenture… capitalist turned author and social activist, Jacob Burak, uses the metaphor of trying to find a black cat in a dark room to express just how hard it can be for us to "see" clearly what would make us whole and happy, both as individuals and as a society.His book combines the latest behavioural science with a deep social awareness garnered on the battlefields of tech investing to demonstrate a crucial finding: we are not nearly as smart or as rational as we think we are. Only by understanding our flawed human nature can we hope to reach our goalsin life, business and politics.Originally published in Hebrew, this is the first translation of this international bestseller into English.
