In 2019, a Chinese entity called Tencent overtook Facebook to become the world's fifth-largest company. It was a watershed moment, a wake-up call for those in the West accustomed to regarding the global tech industry through the prism of Silicon Valley: Facebook, Google, Apple and Microsoft. Yet to many of the two billion-plus people who live just across the Pacific Ocean, it came as no surprise at all.

Essential listening
Revisado: 04-05-24
Great book, if you work in any digital transformational role this should be required listening. It is incredible to hear how Tencent was able to capture so much market share by innovating and looking at what the customer needed. Essentially tencent was customer centric and won because of this attitude. Going to be very interesting to see what happens next to the company.

In 1981, Jack Welch took over General Electric and quickly rose to fame as the first celebrity CEO. He golfed with presidents, mingled with movie stars, and was idolized for growing GE into the most valuable company in the world. But Welch’s achievements didn’t stem from some greater intelligence or business prowess. Rather, they were the result of a sustained effort to push GE’s stock price ever higher, often at the expense of workers, consumers, and innovation.

Fascinating take on the rise and fall of Jack Welch and his acolytes. While still leaving some hope for the future.

Sprawling across a quarter of the world's land mass and claiming nearly 500 colonial subjects, Britain's empire was the largest empire in human history. For many, it epitomised our nation's cultural superiority, but what legacy have we delivered to the world? Spanning more than 200 years of history, Caroline Elkins reveals evolutionary and racialised doctrines that espoused an unrelenting deployment of violence to secure and preserve British imperial interests.

What an incredible book! Most sensitive story telling. Enjoyable for all ages. Jacqueline Wilson is an absolute master. Her portrayal of the indomitable Katy is deep and thoughtful and the story is a fabulous romp. One of my all time favourites and a serious hit with my 6 year old.

Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Mainstream science - as well as religious and cultural institutions - has maintained that men and women evolved in families in which a man's possessions and protection were exchanged for a woman's fertility and fidelity. But this narrative is collapsing....

Great book, all of humanity should read this before any sexual relationship. Fantastic insights. Albeit that I do not agree with everything in the book it is a great conversation starter for couples.

What an incredible book. So interesting to hear how much the catholic church has denied and hidden so much of this knowledge over time. And still seemingly refuse to accept the use of psycadelics in ancient religious practices.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale. Rather, it offers a deeply reasoned and evocative examination of the contests over the next chapter of capitalism that will decide the meaning of information civilization in the 21st century. The stark issue at hand is whether we will be the masters of information and machines or its slaves.

A book everyone that uses the internet needs to read/listen too. Shoshana Zuboff take the reader through a wild ride of how our daily privacies are being eroded over time. So subtlety that we accept it. Take the time and read or listen. It is eye opening.

In the age of Big Data we often believe that our predictions about the future are better than ever before. But as risk expert Gerd Gigerenzer shows, the surprising truth is that in the real world, we often get better results by using simple rules and considering less information. In Risk Savvy, Gigerenzer reveals that most of us, including doctors, lawyers, financial advisers, and elected officials, misunderstand statistics much more often than we think, leaving us not only misinformed, but vulnerable to exploitation.

This is a crucial book. If we misunderstand stats if has massive impact. Doctors should spend way more time looking at stats than they do. Listen or read to this book then tell me I am wrong.

Now a number-one international best seller, Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history. In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude—one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system.
