书名：《极简主义企业家: 伟大的创始人如何用更少的钱做更多的事》
“Pay attention.”—Jason Fried
A revolutionary roadmap for building startups that go the distance
Now more than ever, you don’t need a fancy office, Ivy League degree, or millions of dollars in venture capital to launch a business that matters for the communities you care most about. Software, the internet, and remote work have made it possible for entrepreneurs to start for free, make a customer of anyone, and grow a profitable, sustainable company from anywhere.
Packed with hard-won, battle-tested lessons from Lavingia’s own journey of building Gumroad, a platform for creators to sell their work, The Minimalist Entrepreneur teaches founders how to:
• start then learn
• build a community, then solve a problem for them
• charge for something even before you’ve built anything
• avoid running out of money and, more importantly, energy
• run a tight ship amid the rise of the gig economy and remote work
• own a business without it owning you back.
The Minimalist Entrepreneur is the manifesto for a new generation of founders who would rather build great companies than big ones. This is essential knowledge for every founder aspiring to build a business worth building.
中文版内容介绍：
由风投出资、IPO驱动的十亿美元级别的神话公司出现了越来越多的裂缝——它们不再盈利，而且存在不道德经营的行为——企业家们正在寻找另一条可以建立有价值的、可持续的健全企业道路。《极简主义企业家》一书就是新一代企业家的宣言，相较于大公司，他们更想创建一个伟大的公司。
2011年，萨希尔•拉文吉亚(Sahil Lavingia) 离开了拼趣(Pinterest)二号员工的位置，去追求自己的梦想——创建一家市值10亿美元的公司。他的初创公司Gumroad发展迅速，很容易就筹集到风险投资。Gumroad公司是提供一个链接创造者和买家的平台，现在它有着华丽的办公室和高效的招聘，正一步步迈向独角兽公司之列。
直到一个季度后，经济增长放缓，一切都崩溃了。但拉文吉亚还是从头开始重建了Gumroad。与第一次尝试过程中的浪费和为了利益增长而过度增长的心态不同，这一次他选择成为一名极简企业家。他将自己在Gumroad的经历和其他有着相似想法公司的经历结合起来，为那些选择长期增长而不是不可持续增长的企业家提供了一条新的道路。
独角兽公司并不是初创企业的最佳或唯一道路。《极简企业家》一书教会创始人如何避免会导致失败的投资，如何在零工经济和远程工作高速发展中严加管理，如何开发和发布产品才不会很快就失败或者经常失败，以及如何实现并且保持盈利。
面对契机：书中拉文吉亚在2019年发表的一篇有关个人经历的文章在硅谷引发了轰动。他在文章中清楚地表达了大家对风投驱动的创业模式日渐增长的不满，这种模式并没有给那些利润丰厚但增长速度不快的公司留出空间。这篇文章发出后在Medium平台上获赞超过了11.5万，在推特上获赞超过了1万，同时也受到了Basecamp创始人贾森•弗里德(Jason Fried)、戴维•海涅迈尔•汉森(David Heinemeier Hanson)，以及投资人马克•库班(Mark Cuban)、克里斯•萨卡(Chris Sacca)、纳瓦尔•拉维坎特(Naval Ravikant)等人的广泛讨论，在精益创业大会和MicroConf上也多有提及。
抓住时机：我们逐渐认清一个事实：风投投资和IPO驱动的企业并不像他们吹嘘的那样。每天都有新的头条新闻指控优步(Uber)、WeWork、Away、Glossier以及The Wing等公司存在商业违规和道德违规的行为。企业家们正准备走上不同的道路。
崛起中的明星：通过这本书以及在《连线》和《快公司》上的简介，拉文吉亚获得了广泛的关注。这些关注已经转变为不断增长的关注者和订阅者。他现在有1.1万电子期刊的订阅者，而且这个数字还在不断增长。Gumroad现在也在可持续的快速成长，很大程度上因为它是为了抵御大流行病而建立的，同时它也吸引了寻找其他收入来源的创造者的兴趣。

Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas’ epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s.
Robin Buss’s lively English translation is complete and unabridged, and remains faithful to the style of Dumas’s original. This edition includes an introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading.

The origin story of one of the most influential and transformative business leaders and philanthropists of the modern age.

The business triumphs of Bill Gates are widely known: the twenty-year-old who dropped out of Harvard to start a software company that became an industry giant and changed the way the world works and lives; the billionaire many times over who turned his attention to philanthropic pursuits to address climate change, global health, and U.S. education.

Source Code is not about Microsoft or the Gates Foundation or the future of technology. It’s the human, personal story of how Bill Gates became who he is today: his childhood, his early passions and pursuits. It’s the story of his principled grandmother and ambitious parents, his first deep friendships and the sudden death of his best friend; of his struggles to fit in and his discovery of a world of coding and computers in the dawn of a new era; of embarking in his early teens on a path that took him from midnight escapades at a nearby computer center to his college dorm room, where he sparked a revolution that would change the world.

Bill Gates tells this, his own story, for the first time: wise, warm, revealing, it’s a fascinating portrait of an American life.

Now in paperback, the updated and expanded edition: David Graeber’s “fresh . . . fascinating . . . thought-provoking . . . and exceedingly timely” (Financial Times) history of debt 

Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: he shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today without knowing it.

搬送されてきた自分と瓜二つの溺死体。自身との関係を探る先で辿り着いた、鍵を握る人物も命を落とす。過去と現在が交錯する、医療×本格ミステリ。第34回鮎川哲也賞受賞作。

<b>From the author of <i>Steve Jobs</i> and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era—a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter.</b><br /><br />When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.<br /><br />His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive.<br /><br />At the beginning of 2022—after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth—Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. “I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,” he said.<br /><br />It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground. Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground.<br /><br />For two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?

Bestselling author and veteran Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman answers the question investors have been asking for decades: How did Jim Simons do it?
Jim Simons is the greatest money maker in modern financial history. His track record bests those of legendary investors including Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, and George Soros. Yet Simons and his strategies are shrouded in mystery. Wall Street insiders have long craved a view into Simons's singular mind, as well as the definitive account of how his secretive hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies, came to dominate financial markets. Bestselling author and Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman delivers the goods.
After a legendary career as a mathematician at MIT and Harvard, and a stint breaking Soviet code for the U.S. government, Simons set out to conquer financial markets with a radical approach. He hired mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists, most of whom knew little about finance. Experts scoffed as Simons built Renaissance Technologies from a dreary Long Island strip mall. He amassed piles of data and developed algorithms to hunt for deeply hidden patterns in the numbers--patterns that reveal rules governing all markets.
Simons and his colleagues became some of the richest individuals in the world and their data-driven approach launched a quantitative revolution on Wall Street. They also anticipated dramatic shifts in society. Eventually, governments, sports teams, hospitals, and businesses in almost every industry embraced Simons's methods.
Simons and his team used their newfound wealth to upend society. Simons has become a major influence in scientific research, education, and politics, while senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for Donald Trump's victorious presidential campaign. The Renaissance team's models didn't prepare executives for the ensuing backlash.
The Man Who Solved the Market is the dramatic story of how Jim Simons and a group of unlikely mathematicians remade Wall Street and transformed the world.

海外华人史学大家王赓武在年近九旬之际写下自己「长年半游牧生涯」的故事。他的人生以殖民时代的东南亚为起点，历经殖民、战争、动乱、革命，大半生在三大洲间迁徙，构成二十世纪的历史洪流之中一部丰富而独特的流浪史。
回忆录共两卷。上卷《家园何处是》回望王赓武充满不确定性和转折的少年经历，这段岁月对他影响至深，成为他治学和人生的底色。
王赓武1930 年在南洋出生，自小接受古典中文教育和正统英文教育。因日军入侵东南亚，他不得不辍学，数年间在街头游荡，以少年人本真的好奇心学会广东话、马来语、客家话、闽南语，并对殖民地错综复杂的「华人性」有了最初的领会。凭藉奇迹般的机缘，他在日本战败前夕重拾学业、考入国立中央大学，却亲身见证父母谆谆教导的那个故园中国终归于幻灭。然而，青年王赓武对「家园何处是」的困惑与不安在此际渐渐抚平。站在儿时经历为他塑造的「多重世界」交汇处，他「开始感到没有东西能挡在我认识万物的道路上」。
下卷《心安即是家》由王赓武与太太林娉婷合著，继续述说他们在情感和知性上的探索旅程。

Agneta är 49 år med utflugna ungar som bara kommunicerar via Swish, äkta mannen Magnus som cyklar jättesnabbt i dyra trikåer, ett förtvinande jobb på trafikkontoret, ett sorgligt sexliv (kallas det ens sexliv när man varken har sex eller liv ihop?), ett tomt ekande kylskåp (Magnus tror på ett liv utanförstående, alkohol, fett, socker och kolhydrater) och Agneta känner sig helt vingklippt. Ligger ensam hemma i sängen, tittar på tv-serier och smygdricker rödvin medan föräldrarna läxar upp henne via FaceTime. Hur blev livet så här håglöst? Men mitt i håglösheten råkar Agneta se en liten, konstigt skriven annons i tidningen.

Äldre pojke behöver hjälp. Nu. Laga mat. Städning jättestor hus. Mycket viktig - varje fredagar 17.00 sitt på bar. Måste prata svenskan! Pojken bor Saint Carelle, Provence, Frankrike.

Några dagar senare står Agneta till sin egen och alla andras förvåning på ett ödsligt torg i lilla Saint Carelle i Provence. Där ingenting är som i annonsen. Äventyret kommer sannerligen börja, vare sig Agneta vill eller ej.

Over the past 40 years, Tom Stanley and his daughter Sarah Stanley Fallaw have been involved in research examining how self-made, economically successful Americans became that way. Despite the publication of The Millionaire Next Door, The Millionaire Mind, and others, myths about
wealth in American still abound. Government officials, journalists, and many American still tend to
confuse income with wealth. A new generation of household financial managers are hearing from so-called experts in personal financial management due to the proliferation of the cottage industry of financial blogs, podcasts, and the like. In many cases, these outlets are simply experiences shared without science, case studies without data based on broader populations. Therefore, the authors decided to take another look at millionaires in the United States to examine what changes could be seen 20 years after the original publication of The Millionaire Next Door. In this book the authors highlight how specific decisions, behaviors, and characteristics align with the discipline of wealth building, covering areas such as consumption, budgeting, careers, investing, and financial management in general. They include results from quantitative studies of wealth as well as case studies of individuals who have been successful in building wealth. They discuss general paths to building wealth on your own, focusing specifically on careers and lifestyles associated with each path, and what it takes to be successful in each.

Robert McKee's screenwriting workshops have earned him an international reputation for inspiring novices, refining works in progress and putting major screenwriting careers back on track. Quincy Jones, Diane Keaton, Gloria Steinem, Julia Roberts, John Cleese and David Bowie are just a few of his celebrity alumni. Writers, producers, development executives and agents all flock to his lecture series, praising it as a mesmerizing and intense learning experience. In Story, McKee expands on the concepts he teaches in his $450 seminars (considered a must by industry insiders), providing readers with the most comprehensive, integrated explanation of the craft of writing for the screen. No one better understands how all the elements of a screenplay fit together, and no one is better qualified to explain the "magic" of story construction and the relationship between structure and character than Robert McKee.

令人心碎卻無能為力的真實故事。
性、權力、升學主義──青澀的表皮、變態社會的日常
如果這件事情正在發生，我們要怎麼假裝世界上沒有人以強暴小女孩為樂？
「我下樓拿作文給李老師改。他掏出來，我被逼到塗在牆上。老師說了九個字：『不行的話，嘴巴可以吧。』我說了五個字：『不行，我不會。』他就塞進來。那感覺像溺水。可以說話之後，我對老師說：『對不起。』有一種功課做不好的感覺。」
痛苦的際遇是如此難以分享，好險這個世界還有文學。
小小的房思琪住在金碧輝煌的人生裡，她的臉和她可以想像的將來一樣漂亮。補習班國文名師李國華是同一棟高級住宅的鄰居。崇拜文學的小房思琪同樣崇拜飽讀詩書的李老師。
有一天李老師說，妳的程度這麼好，不如每個禮拜交一篇作文給我吧，不收妳周點費。思琪聽話地下樓了。老師在家裡等她，桌上沒有紙筆。
思琪的初戀是李老師。因為李老師把她翻面，把他的東西塞進去。那年的教師節思琪才十三歲，這個世界和她原本認識的不一樣。
如果這是愛情，為什麼覺得暴力？為什麼覺得被折斷？為什麼老師要一個女學生換過一個女學生？如果這不是愛情，那滿口學問的李老師怎麼能做了以後，還這麼自信、無疑、無愧於心？
這是一部驚人而特別的小說，小說作者既具有高度敏銳的感受力、又是一個近距離目擊者，使這整件事像一個「倖存的標本」那樣地被保留下來。整本書反覆地、用極度貼近被侵害者的視角，直直逼視那種「別人奪去妳某個珍貴之物」的痛苦──且掠奪之人是以此為樂。

Ten superb new stories by one of our most beloved and admired writers—the winner of the 2009 Man Booker International Prize.
In the first story a young wife and mother receives release from the unbearable pain of losing her three children from a most surprising source. In another, a young woman, in the aftermath of an unusual and humiliating seduction, reacts in a clever if less-than-admirable fashion. Other stories uncover the “deep-holes” in a marriage, the unsuspected cruelty of children, and how a boy’s disfigured face provides both the good things in his life and the bad. And in the long title story, we accompany Sophia Kovalevsky—a late-nineteenth-century Russian émigré and mathematician—on a winter journey that takes her from the Riviera, where she visits her lover, to Paris, Germany, and, Denmark, where she has a fateful meeting with a local doctor, and finally to Sweden, where she teaches at the only university in Europe willing to employ a female mathematician.
With clarity and ease, Alice Munro once again renders complex, difficult events and emotions into stories that shed light on the unpredictable ways in which men and women accommodate and often transcend what happens in their lives.
Too Much Happiness is a compelling, provocative—even daring—collection.
