Principles of Bitcoin: Technology, Economics, Politics, and Philosophy

Principles of Bitcoin presents a holistic, first-principles-based framework for understanding one of the most misunderstood inventions of our time. By stripping away the hype, jargon, and superficial analysis that often surrounds the crypto industry, this book uncovers the true ingenuity behind Satoshi Nakamoto’s creation―and its profound implications for the future of money, governance, and individual freedom.

Vijay Selvam analyzes the technology, economics, politics, and philosophy of Bitcoin, making the case that only through this holistic understanding can we gain an appreciation of its true meaning and significance. Readers are invited to consider Bitcoin as a tool for individual empowerment, a catalyst for economic autonomy, and a challenge to traditional monetary systems. Selvam demonstrates why Bitcoin stands alone in the digital asset space as a path-dependent once-in-history invention that cannot be replicated.

The Most Important Thing Illuminated: Uncommon Sense for Thoughtful Investor (Columbia Business School Publishing)

Howard Marks’s The Most Important Thing distilled the investing insight of his celebrated client memos into a single volume and, for the first time, made his time-tested philosophy available to general readers. In this edition, Marks’s wisdom is joined by the comments, insights, and counterpoints of four renowned investors and investment educators: Christopher C. Davis (Davis Funds), Joel Greenblatt (Gotham Capital), Paul Johnson (Nicusa Capital), and Seth A. Klarman (Baupost Group).

These experts lend insight into such concepts as “second-level thinking,” the price/value relationship, patient opportunism, and defensive investing. Marks also adds his own annotations, expanding on his book’s original themes and issues. A new chapter addresses the importance of reasonable expectations, and a foreword by Bruce C. Greenwald, called “a guru to Wall Street’s gurus” by the New York Times, speaks on value investing, productivity, and the economics of information.

Human Edge in the AI Age

A seismic shift is underway—one that will redefine work, value, and even what it means to be human.
Artificial Intelligence is not just disrupting industries—it’s beginning to outperform humans in areas once considered exclusively ours: complex reasoning, creativity, even emotional intelligence. As AI accelerates, it will displace millions of jobs—while also creating once-in-a-generation opportunities for those ready to build, innovate, and lead.

This profound duality raises the defining question of our time:
In a world where machines can learn, decide, and simulate emotion—what remains uniquely human? And how do we protect, strengthen, and evolve that edge?
In Human Edge in the AI Age, bestselling author and global tech leader Nitin Seth offers a powerful and deeply personal answer. Drawing on decades of leadership across McKinsey, Fidelity, Flipkart, and Incedo—and rooted in the timeless wisdom of Indian philosophy—he reframes the AI debate through a human lens.
At the heart of the book is POSSIBLE: an eight-dimensional framework that unlocks the core human strengths that will define success in the AI era—including problem-solving, openness, spirituality, balance, leadership, and the spirit of entrepreneurship.
Whether you’re a student stepping into an uncertain future, a professional navigating change, or a leader shaping what comes next, this is your blueprint for thriving—not in spite of AI, but because of what makes you human.
The future is POSSIBLE. Let’s lead it with the human edge.

After the Spike

Most people on Earth today live in a country where birth rates already are too low to stabilize the population: fewer than two children for every two adults. In After the Spike, economists Dean Spears and Michael Geruso sound a wakeup call, explaining why global depopulation is coming, why it matters, and what to do now.

It would be easy to think that fewer people would be better—better for the planet, better for the people who remain. This book invites us all to think again. Despite what we may have been told, depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for environmental challenges like climate change. Nor will it raise living standards by dividing what the world can offer across fewer of us. Spears and Geruso investigate what depopulation would mean for the climate, for living standards, for equity, for progress, for freedom, for humanity’s general welfare. And what it would mean if, instead, people came together to share the work of caregiving and of building societies where parenting fits better with everything else that people aspire to.

With new evidence and sharp insights, Spears and Geruso make a lively and compelling case for stabilizing the population—without sacrificing our dreams of a greener future or reverting to past gender inequities. They challenge us to see how depopulation threatens social equity and material progress, and how welcoming it denies the inherent value of every human life. More than an assembly of the most important facts, After the Spike asks what future we should want for our planet, for our children, and for one another.

The book also emphasizes collaboration and the importance of cultivating trust, shedding light on what employees seek from their leaders.

One does not become a CEO overnight—this book will set you on a journey of reflection, inculcating the right leadership values, and develop habits which will pave the way for a more meaningful and rewarding career.

Stoic Empathy: The Road Map to a Life of Influence, Self-Leadership, and Integrity

Correct the power imbalances in your work and life with a science-backed practice that combines the rigor of Stoic philosophy with the relational impact of empathy.

Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like a contradiction in terms. But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they have the power to change your life.

From surviving missile attacks and political oppression in Iran to leading high-stakes legal teams and negotiations in corporate America, Shermin Kruse’s journey fuels her mission to merge empathy and stoicism as tools for navigating power, justice, and human connection in every facet of life. In this eye-opening book, she offers you this radical perspective shift—anchored in up-to-the-minute research—to help you navigate life’s challenges with power and principles.

We often think of empathy as an emotional stance: we feel what someone else is feeling. But Kruse outlines a form of empathy that’s based in cognition, not emotion—a way for us to understand what the other person is thinking and feeling while keeping a distance from their feeling state—and shows us how we can strategically maneuver our level of engagement from “emotional empathy” to “cognitive empathy” in different circumstances. Then she utilizes Stoic philosophy and modern science to outline the how of emotional regulation and control. The bridge she builds between Stoicism and empathy gives us the knowledge and discipline we need to:

• Calmly assess the power dynamics of any situation
• Understand and manage our own emotions as well as the emotions of others
• Defuse danger and turn conflict into connection
• Skillfully steer a challenging conversation toward the result we want

Whether you’re a leader striving to succeed in your role with integrity, an educator seeking to guide curious minds with compassion, a parent nurturing resilience in your children, or simply facing a personal or professional crossroads, Stoic Empathy is an essential toolkit for negotiating success in every area of your life.
