But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

In the old days, when we made physical products, setting project goals wasn’t that hard. But in today’s service - and software-driven world, “done” is less obvious. When is Amazon done? When is Google done? Or Facebook? In reality, services powered by digital systems are never done. So then how do we give teams a goal that they can work on? Mostly, we simply ask teams to build features - but features are the wrong way to go. We often build features that create no value. Instead, we need to give teams an outcome to achieve.

Years before he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis published another fantastical fiction series: the Ransom Trilogy.

What if the most essential part of your identity is also its biggest lie? The human self is built entirely from memory, yet memory is the least trustworthy part of the mind. It is not a vault of truth but a restless, selective, and profoundly creative storyteller—a constant editor of our past. We rely on it for meaning, but we can only survive because of its beautiful imperfections. In The Treacherous Memory, philosopher Boris Kriger investigates this defining paradox of the human condition.
