Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, a bold framework for leadership in today’s ever-changing world. How do we win a game that has no end? Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers—only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new book, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. On one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet these rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a Just Cause, we will commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we will build it week after week, month after month, year after year. Although we do not know the exact form this world will take, working toward it gives our work and our life meaning. Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future.

Book Description
This book is written around the central message that collectivist societies produce security, but destroy trust. In collectivist societies, people are connected through networks of strong personal ties where the behavior of all agents is constantly monitored and controlled. As a result, individuals in collectivist networks are assured that others will abide by social norms, and gain a sense of security erroneously thought of as “trust.” However, this book argues that this security is not truly trust, based on beliefs regarding the integrity of others, but assurance, based on the system of mutual control within the network. In collectivist societies, security is assured insofar as people stay within the network, but people do not trust in the benevolence of human nature. On the one hand, transaction costs are reduced within collectivist networks, as once accepted into a network the risk of being maltreated is minimized. However, joining the network requires individuals to pay opportunity cost, that is, they pay a cost by forgoing potentially superior opportunities outside the security of the network. In this era of globalization, people from traditionally collectivistic societies face the challenge of learning how to free themselves from the security of such collectivistic networks in order to explore the opportunities open to them elsewhere. This book presents research investigating how the minds of individuals are shaped by the conflict between maintaining security inside closed networks of strong ties, and venturing outside of the network to seek out new opportunities.

Book Description
"One of the best Decision Making and Game Theory books of all time." —Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn founder) and Nassim Nicholas Taleb (author of Black Swan), BookAuthority An accessible, light-hearted exploration of Game Theory—what it is, why it’s important, and how it can help us in our daily lives Game Theory is the mathematical formalization of interactive decision-making—it assumes that each player's goal is to maximize his/her benefit, whatever it may be. Players may be friends, foes, political parties, states, or any entity that behaves interactively, whether collectively or individually. One of the problems with game analysis is the fact that, as a player, it’s very hard to know what would benefit each of the other players. Some of us are not even clear about our own goals or what might actually benefit us. In Gladiators, Pirates, and Games of Trust, Haim Shapira shares humorous anecdotes and insightful examples to explain Game Theory, how it affects our daily lives, and how the different interactions between decision-makers can play out. In this book, you will: • Meet Nobel Laureate John F. Nash and familiarize yourself with Nash equilibrium • Learn the basic ideas of the art of negotiation • Visit the gladiators’ ring and apply for a coaching position • Build an airport and divide inheritance • Issue ultimatums and learn to trust • Review every aspect of the prisoner’s dilemma and learn about the importance of cooperation • Learn how statistics bolster lies • And much more

Book Description
This volume explores the foundations of trust, and whether social and political trust have common roots. Contributions by noted scholars examine how we measure trust, the cultural and social psychological roots of trust, the foundations of political trust, and how trust concerns the law, the economy, elections, international relations, corruption, and cooperation, among myriad societal factors. The rich assortment of essays on these themes addresses questions such as: How does national identity shape trust, and how does trust form in developing countries and in new democracies? Are minority groups less trusting than the dominant group in a society? Do immigrants adapt to the trust levels of their host countries? Does group interaction build trust? Does the welfare state promote trust and, in turn, does trust lead to greater well-being and to better health outcomes? The Oxford Handbook of Social and Political Trust considers these and other questions of critical importance for current scholarly investigations of trust.

Book Description
A serialized Novel based in one of the smallest and poorest cities in America. An Organizations account of events that challenges each characters existence, honor, and loyalty in a place of ultimate retribution. The Hispanic American drug market where anybody is a victim and every head has a price, where trust has no friends and most friends have no trust. Trust is a Deadly Game is a story of betrayal, serial murder, decapitation, cruel torture, rape, drugs and Political corruption. A look into the underworld of Spanish organized crime. From the overseas Cartels, to the American drug dealers' dream all for the power of The Almighty Dollar. A walk through the Shadow of The Valley of Death. Uncut and Raw! This story is guarantee to have the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, chills down your spine... a page tuner from beginning to end. Three wise men founded this empire: Sam, Will, and O-Dawg. They had the reputation and brains to build a multi-million dollar drug empire. They were later marked by the Feds as the biggest drug distribution ring in the tri-state area, with power ranging to Puerto Rico and other Latin countries. The business and political connections, manpower, and money were the glue that held together this mob-like structure. These wise guys held ranks within the organization, and they always paired the hierarchal order with a lump sum of cash. They took all possible measures to protect their operation from snitches, informants, and anyone with bad intentions; only close friends and associates were the ones recruited to join the journey to wealth. Men who were not afraid to lay a body down and put money before all else were the chosen ones. With business associates to launder the dirty drug money and the mayor's office as an overseer, they managed to move tons of kilos of cocaine annually. Sam was the brains behind the whole operation-the headman in charge. The cocaine would arrive from overseas on boat before being dropped off at a secluded spot in the Delaware River, near the city of Camden, NJ. Some men working the operation were trained to scuba dive and would arrive at dawn on certain days to begin the long process of retrieving the cocaine from the dark, murky waters. The drugs would then be transported to a stash house. Where they would be weighed, cut, and bagged by a different group of men. The drug processing would sometimes take days; the fellas took turns in two, 12-hour shifts. The way the money was rolling in low-level drug pushers were balling. Almost drug kingpins themselves, they were raking in close to seven grand apiece per shift. Fast-forward twelve years into this very lucrative business, Sam has been thinking of retiring to ravish the benefits of a wealthy life. Juice, a respected and feared drug lord in Puerto Rico, wants to expand his trade into the United States in hopes of living the American Dream, and what better way than through Sam's retirement. The cartel's creed is blood in, blood out. When word of Sam's retirement gets out, all hell breaks loose between his men and Juice's team of overseas killers. What will be the destiny of this multi-million-dollar empire? Will anyone be able to stop the bloodshed?
