Paperback. Condition: Good. Title: The 3rd American Dream . that is global in reach Author: Suresh Sharma In a new global economy, the so-called American Dream has undeniably shifted from a mid-century phenomenon to an increasingly unnerving question mark. However, according to the author, a new wave is on the rise, and here. The next dream is very much in the making for anyone with any innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. In his new compelling book, The 3rd American Dream, Suresh - an internationally acclaimed business leader, entrepreneur and a thought-leader - shares his insights and conviction supported with a pragmatic roadmap to make it happen faster. Drawing from his own demonstrated global business and entrepreneurial successes, as well as his perspective as an immigrant, Suresh is committed to inspire all Americans to unlock their potential and to realize an unprecedented wealth creation in the twenty-first century. The heart of this book is about American way of life, entrepreneurship and innovation. Impact and reach, however, is bound to be global. According to the author, it's time to move on to a new way of thinking, living, and doing business, especially after the recent demoralizing recessionary times. Rather than a traditional business book, Suresh's approach represents an entirely new genre that stitches all the special-knowledge domains - the verticals - into one fabric - be they: people, culture, economics, capital, technology, policies, infrastructure, society, business or historical lessons - to make meaningful practical life decisions going forward. It's easy to read but definitely thought provoking. He thus lays out a pragmatic and inspirational game plan for Americans to create a groundbreaking ecosystem - at individual as well as societal level - that would result in a new wave of infinite economic expansion. To do so: - The 3rd American Dream first provides a quick historical context of the American Way of Life, revisiting characteristics long associated with this country's success, such as Americans' entrepreneurial nature; commitment to innovation; impulse to aspire to a greater life; and repute as creative problem solvers. - How is the younger generation is changing the game in their own entrepreneurial and innovative ways? What can you do as an individual? What can be your future roadmap in this huge economic potential and prosperity? With examples, he brings out how entrepreneurship and innovation are universal, and independent of age, gender, industry, and location. - Suresh then explores the future of the country, proposing how to create a new business ecosystem. To make it real, he addresses ways in which to make game-changing improvements in crucial platform industries such as: Healthcare, Energy, Education, and Manufacturing. - Finally, his book puts forth the notion of inclusive growth, which can occur by creating the next generation of jobs within the country, with a new generation of wealthier, innovative, and entrepreneurial middle class of twenty-first century America. With keen insight, and an American can-do attitude, the author has created a refreshing look at the country's future prospects, and is happy to report that with right approach, the American dream will surely live on.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. The romance of Stephanie Perkins meets the quirk of Maureen Johnson, then gets a Bollywood twist in this fate-filled debut that takes the future into its own hands. Winnie Mehta was never really convinced that Raj was her soul mate, but their love was written in the stars. Literally, a pandit predicted Winnie would find the love of her life before her eighteenth birthday, and Raj meets all the qualifications. Which is why Winnie is shocked when she returns from her summer at film camp to find her boyfriend of three years hooking up with Jenny Dickens. As a self-proclaimed Bollywood expert, Winnie knows this is not how her perfect ending is scripted. Then there's Dev, a fellow film geek and one of the few people Winnie can count on. Dev is smart and charming, and he challenges Winnie to look beyond her horoscope and find someone she'd pick for herself. But does falling for Dev mean giving up on her prophecy and her chance to live happily ever after? To find her perfect ending, Winnie will need a little bit of help from fate, family, and of course, a Bollywood movie star.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Hailed as a "supreme storyteller" (Philadelphia Inquirer) for his "cunning, dismaying and beautifully conceived" fiction (New York Times), Akhil Sharma is possessed of a narrative voice "as hypnotic as those found in the pages of Dostoyevsky" (The Nation). In his highly anticipated second novel, Family Life, he delivers a story of astonishing intensity and emotional precision. We meet the Mishra family in Delhi in 1978, where eight-year-old Ajay and his older brother Birju play cricket in the streets, waiting for the day when their plane tickets will arrive and they and their mother can fly across the world and join their father in America. America to the Mishras is, indeed, everything they could have imagined and more: when automatic glass doors open before them, they feel that surely they must have been mistaken for somebody important. Pressing an elevator button and the elevator closing its doors and rising, they have a feeling of power at the fact that the elevator is obeying them. Life is extraordinary until tragedy strikes, leaving one brother severely brain-damaged and the other lost and virtually orphaned in a strange land. Ajay, the family?s younger son, prays to a God he envisions as Superman, longing to find his place amid the ruins of his family?s new life. Heart-wrenching and darkly funny, Family Life is a universal story of a boy torn between duty and his own survival.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Shalinee Sharma is one of the world's top experts on math learning, but when she was in school, she sat in the back row, unsure if she could ever master the subject. Many of us buy into the idea that some people are innately good at math and others just won't ever succeed at it - but it's not true, and numeracy is as important as literacy when it comes to opening doors in life. Sharma shows how complex problem solving and puzzle solving, abstract and logical thinking, and cultivating a growth mindset are crucial skills for success that can be taught to everyone, and how math, far from being a dry, dull exercise, shares common ground with art, creativity, and wonder. She also explodes the myths that prevent us from enjoying math, with chapters dedicated to the three roadblocks that discourage adults and kids from learning. With instructive line drawings throughout, Sharma explains the math instinct that all humans have from birth, and better, more intuitive ways to solve math problems. For anyone who has ever thought you're 'bad at math' but wants to get good - for your children and for yourself - Math Sense contains the guidance, takeaways, and specific approaches you need to learn to love numbers.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Named a Best Book of 2024 by The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times An "eye-opening" (The New York Times), "absolutely fascinating" (Fareed Zakaria, CNN host and commentator) look at a how a century of expanding government has distorted financial markets, stoked massive inequality, and soaked America in debt. Capitalism didn't fail, it was ruined. What went wrong with capitalism? Ruchir Sharma's account is not like any you will have heard before. He says progressives are right, in part, when they mock modern capitalism as "socialism for the rich." For a century, governments have expanded in just about every measurable dimension, from spending to regulation and the scale of financial rescues when the economy wobbles. The result is expensive state guarantees for everyone--bailouts for the rich, entitlements for the middle class, welfare for the poor. Taking you back to the 19th century, Sharma shows how completely the reflexes of government have changed: from hands-off to hands-on, from doing too little to help anyone in hard times to today trying to prevent anyone suffering any economic pain, ever. Trading sins of omission and indifference for excesses of spending and meddling, governments from the United States to Europe and Japan have pumped so much money into their economies that financial markets can no longer invest all that capital efficiently. Inadvertently, they have fueled the rise of monopolies, "zombie" firms, and billionaires. They have made capitalism less fair and less efficient, which is slowing economic growth and fueling popular anger. The first step to a cure is a correct diagnosis of the problem. Capitalism has been badly distorted by constant government intervention and the relentless spread of a bailout culture. Building an even bigger state will only double down on what ruined capitalism in the first place. What Went Wrong with Capitalism is a "superbly written" (The Wall Street Journal), "fresh and accessible" (Robert Rubin, former Secretary of the Treasury and chairman of Citigroup) look at the issues confronting our capitalistic society and will ultimately reshape how you think about world.…
