CHANGE THE STORY. RESHAPE YOU.
How can you motivate people and empower them to make better choices? This book provides a fresh perspective on the answers, as well as the tools. Steven takes you on a fascinating journey into how the mind has evolved, how it is shaped by society and how in turn it shapes society. You will learn why some people believe they can’t, while others are convinced they can, how the story of color has shaped post-colonial societies, and the story of capitalism has shaped the West.
Whether you are simply interested in understanding behavior, or are a parent, teacher or manager ready to lead change, Breaking Rank is bound to shift and sharpen your perspective. You will never look at your own behavior – or the behavior of others – the same way again.
How much of what you choose is of your own free will, and how much is influenced by the will of others? Why do only a few make choices that lead to wealth while the many fear to follow their dreams?
Influencers & Followers takes you on a journey of narratives and how Influencers concentrate wealth into their hands by influencing the choices of Followers. You’ll discover how Influencers use the narrative of gods to justify tyranny, the narrative of color to colonize, and the narrative of consumerism to glorify work.
This book is not only a colorful expose into the dark Machiavellian world of the myth-makers. It also combines the latest insights from psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics to explain how our brain internalizes narratives to make meaning of reality – influencing how we think, behave, and choose. Finally, Influencers & Followers proposes solutions to redistribute wealth more equally by redesigning money and our monetary system, transforming education, and building awareness.
If you knew you were living in a dream,
How would you live?
You would fly, soar and discover.
You would live and experience.
In times of fear,
You realize you can shake yourself awake.
In other times,
You are fearless.
After starting Vipassana meditation 4 years ago, I’ve come to see the world more clearly.
I’ve come to live more fearless.
I hope by sharing my thoughts with you, you too can live more fearless.
Less fear about what others think of you.
Less fear of speaking up.
Less fear of not knowing where your next paycheck will come from.
Less time spent in fear of death.
Live fearless.
Be fearless.
STEAL THE WORLD—I KNOW YOU WANT TO. You just don’t know how to. But I do and with this guide, so will you. I’ll teach you the secret of how gangsters do it. Not just any gangsters—none of this Al Capone or Pablo Escobar nonsense. They’re rank amateurs compared to some of these folks. I’m talking about ‘real gangstas.’ Those who were able to steal nearly ninety percent (yes, 90%!) of the world using a simple illusion, an illusion so effective that gangsters were able to hide it in plain sight, right there in front of everyone to see.
Are you ready to learn their secrets and steal the world too?
With oil now found in Suriname’s waters, it is only a matter of time before Suriname develops itself. Or is it? For more than half a century, Suriname has made the commodity bet, and like most other resource-rich countries, we have failed to develop our economy, leaving our populace mired in poverty, inequality, and weak institutions.
Thinking Outside Nature’s Box begins by examining Suriname’s history of poor economic performance. Next, it revisits the assumptions behind wealth creation and illustrates how a commodity mindset has trapped Suriname in unproductive patterns that hamper its journey toward welfare. Finally, this book looks at a practical approach to transforming our nation that is simple to understand and plan over time.
This book differs from most publications written on the topic of economic development. It moves away from focusing on macroeconomic stability and broad-stroke IMF policies (read: increase taxes and cut costs) in developing the economy. It moves towards what matters most: creating high and rising salaries for a larger part of our population by strategically choosing and enabling sectors that generate value. The solutions in this book are based on successful development stories from around the world and integrates business strategy, cultural insights, and the latest thinking on the Government’s role in enabling key economic sectors to jump to more value-added products – and thus more wealth.
All it requires is Thinking Outside Nature’s Box.
