Book Synopsis Avoiding the Arrogance Cycle by : Michael Farr
Download or read book Avoiding the Arrogance Cycle written by Michael Farr and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the arrogance cycle? We’ve just lived through it. As market bubbles build, our confidence level rises (dis)proportionately. Everyone wants in on the action. We want to believe Wall Street, and once we do, the inevitable happens. Like Dr. Frankenstein breathing life into inanimate flesh, investment professionals sought ever more novel ways to create wealth. The only problem was that it was all artificial. In this book, Michael Farr examines the forces at work on individuals and markets and explains in clear, concise, layman’s terms how we got to where we are. Farr focuses on individual factors—such as rampant consumerism, a sense of entitlement, narcissism, resentment toward the upper class—that combined to create the perfect economic storm. By consulting with leading psychologists and relaying first-hand experience with investment clients, he provides a case study of the arrogant investor. In reviewing failed enterprises like Enron, AIG, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns, as well as the illegal activities of Bernie Madoff and others through the lens of arrogance, the book sheds light on those disasters and offers a means to detect the insidious presence of arrogance so that in the future we can contain the damage before it spreads.

Download or read book Avoiding the Arrogance Cycle written by Michael K. Farr and published by Lyons Press. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the average investor protect their assets? How do they keep their financial goals in sight and their arrogance in check? Investment guru, Michael Farr has counseled thousands of his clients on just that. In Avoiding the Arrogance Cycle, Farr examines the psychology of investing and sets it against the historical and cultural forces at work on individuals and markets and explains in clear, concise layman terms how we just lived through the worst financial disaster since the great depression. He focuses on the individual factors such as rampant consumerism, a sense of entitlement, and narcissism that combined to create the perfect economic storm.In Avoiding the Arrogance Cycle, Farr provides first hand accounts of real client situations to create a profile and case study of the arrogant investor. Throughout the book, he sifts through the wreckage of previous crashes and downturns and finds the proverbial black box of evidence to support his contention that collectively we are the ones responsible. Farr examines the influence of popular culture; the expansion of consumer credit, and the government's ill timed and poorly executed encouragement of home ownership, outrageous increases in executive compensation, and immunity from accountability. Through the lens of arrogance, this book sheds light on our recent financial past and offers a means to detect these insidious attitudes so that in the future we can contain the damage before it spreads.

Book Synopsis More Precious Than Silver by : Joel Bennett
Download or read book More Precious Than Silver written by Joel Bennett and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up can be a struggle. Today, an entire generation is colliding with adulthood without ever knowing life before social media, and this has left us striving to attain the life we project there. But what we need isn’t there. In our search for fulfillment, we wander in all the wrong places: relationships, sex, pornography, and even marriage. But life still fails to live up to our expectations. In More Precious Than Silver, author Joel Bennett reveals that fulfillment isn’t found in a person—nor are our devices a substitute for real, live relationships. With practical guidance and a bit of humor, Joel helps you discover how the discipline of singleness can better prepare you for a lasting relationship. You’ll learn how to dispel the myth about finding “the one” and recognize the truth that love alone is not enough to keep a relationship together. As Christians, we must move beyond the cultural lies about sex and relationships, and instead submit to the intimacy of God’s design. It’s harder than ever to live the #ChristianLife in the digital age, but with wisdom and truth, you can discover life as God intended it to be lived: with abundance.
Download or read book French Cycling written by Hugh Dauncey and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. French Cycling: a Social and Cultural History aims to provide a balanced and detailed analytical survey of the complex leisure activity, sport, and industry that is cycling in France. Identifying key events, practices, stakeholders and institutions in the history of French cycling, the volume presents an interdisciplinary analysis of how cycling has been significant in French society and culture since the late Nineteenth century. Cycling as Leisure is considered through reference to the adoption of the bicycle as an instrument of tourism and emancipation by women in the 1880s, for example, or by study of the development in the 1990s of long-distance tourist cycle routes. Cycling as Sport and its attendant dimensions of amateurism/professionalism, national identity, the body and doping, and other issues is investigated through study of the history of the Tour de France, the track-racing organised at the Vélodrome d'hiver in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s and other emblematic events. Cycling as Industry and economic activity is considered through an assessment of how cycling firms have contributed to technological innovation at various junctures in France's economic development. Cycling and the Media is investigated through analysis of how cyclesport has contributed to developments in the French press (in early decades) but also to new trends in television and radio coverage of sports events. Based on a very wide range of primary and secondary sources, the volume aims to present in clear language an explanation of the varied significance of cycling in France over the last hundred years.
