How The Mighty Fall

Jim Collins

P1005

Amidst the desolate landscape of fallen great companies, Jim Collins began to wonder: How do the mighty fall? Can decline be detected early and avoided? How far can a company fall before the path toward doom becomes inevitable and unshakable? How can companies reverse course? In How the Mighty Fall, Collins confronts these questions, offering leaders the well-founded hope that they can learn how to stave off decline and, if they find themselves falling, reverse their course.

Do-over!

Robin Hemley

P1009

Robin Hemley’s childhood made a wedgie of his memory, leaving him sore and embarrassed for over 40 years. He was the most pitiful kindergartner, the least spirited summer camper, and dateless for prom. In fact, there’s nary an event from his youth that couldn’t use improvement. If only he could do them all over a few decades later, with an adult’s wisdom, perspective, and giant-like height. In the spirit of cult film classics like Billy Madison and Wet Hot American Summer, in DO-OVER! Hemley reencounters papier mache, revisits his childhood home, and finally attends the prom—bringing readers the thrill of recapturing a misspent youth and discovering what’s most important: simple pleasures, second chances, and the forgotten joys of recess.

The Richest Man In Town

W. Randall Jones

P675

Quite simply, there’s no definitive road map for getting rich, no proven plan, and certainly very little access to those who have become “the richest man in town.” But now W. Randall Jones, the founder of Worth magazine, is about to change all that. He’s traveled to 100 different towns and cities across the country and interviewed the wealthiest resident in each. No, these are not those folks who inherited their wealth, or happen to be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Rather, these are the self-made types who, through hard work and ingenuity, found their own individual paths to financial success.
