The Burden
The Burden
Agatha Christie, writing as Mary Westmacott
¥58.47
A superb novel of possessive love. Laura Franklin bitterly resented the arrival of her younger sister Shirley, an enchanting baby loved by all the family. But Laura's emotions towards her sister changed dramatically one night, when she vowed to protect her with all her strength and love. While Shirley longs for freedom and romance, Laura has to learn that loving can never be a one-sided affair, and the burden of her love for her sister has a dramatic effect on both their lives. A story of consequences when love turns to obsession… Famous for her ingenious crime books and plays, Agatha Christie also wrote about crimes of the heart, six bittersweet and very personal novels, as compelling and memorable as the best of her work.
Blue Blood and Mutiny
Blue Blood and Mutiny
Beard, Patricia
¥118.61
The inside story of the power struggle that rocked Wall Street's most prestigious financial institution What began with a shot over the bow ended in a shocking coup d'etat. In less than four months a group of eight retired executives orchestrated a stunning revolt within Morgan Stanley, the venerable and until recently most successful financial services firm on Wall Street. Now acclaimed journalist and historian Patricia Beard brings together the entire behind-the-scenes story in Blue Blood and Mutiny, a real-life business thriller exposing the tale that shook high finance. In March 2005 the business world woke up to an unprecedented full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal calling for the removal of Morgan Stanley's CEO. It was paid for by a cohort of eight former Morgan Stanley executives, including an ex-chairman and an ex-president, who soon would be dubbed the "Eight Grumpy Old Men." Their target was CEO Philip Purcell, a midwesterner who had come to power following Morgan Stanley's 1997 merger with Dean Witter Discover, where Purcell had been chief executive. In his eight years as CEO, Purcell had presided over a 50 percent decline in stock price since its peak in 2000 and a series of high-profile government and civil lawsuits that had tarnished the company's once-sterling reputation. Just a few months after the Journal ad, Purcell would retire under pressure, and former president John Mack, who had been pushed out by Purcell, was appointed CEO. The "Eight Grumpy Old Men" won the battle.The revolt of the Eight is about more than the stock price, or any bottom-line metrics: it signals a clash of cultures and a battle for the soul of American business. Since its founding, Morgan Stanley has been an elite enterprise guided by J. P. Morgan Jr.'s motto "A First Class Business in a First Class Way." The House of Morgan stood for something larger than success with honor; its ethos was unique some would say sacred and the eight retired executives believed this ideal had been undermined during Purcell's reign.Opening the long-closed doors of a bastion of Wall Street that has maintained the strictest privacy until now, Blue Blood and Mutiny weaves the history of Morgan Stanley with the inside story of the fight for dominance between two competing business cultures one, the collegial meritocracy handed down from the days of J. P. Morgan, and the other, a cold, contemporary corporate model. Here is the season's must-read book for anyone who wants to understand the future of American business.

The Amen Vibration:Volume II
The Amen Vibration:Volume II
Richie Quirino
¥0.01
This book is for seekers of truth beyond the teachings of parents, churches, schools, and communities. Forty years in the making, it includes the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of living, from the seemingly obvious to the occult, from the boundless diversity of paths toward Divine understanding and the unification of it all. The unity of the universe as functions of light and sound is explained and demonstrated in many examples. Light and sound are part of the same continuum of vibrations; they are simply different frequencies, as are things we see and hear, as well as microwaves, infrared light, and so on. At the heart of this continuum is the sound of the universe, the primordial Word: the Om of the Taoists, Aum of the Hindus and Buddhists, Amen of the Christians, Hu of the Ecks or the religion of Light and Sound and Hum of the Tibetans. These phenomena are explored by the author, who has experienced the discovery of one’s self and place in the universe.

" The illiterate of the future are not those who can’t read or write but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn."- quote by Alvin TofflerWhat clearly he meant is that we need to learn and unlearn as we continue to stay updated with what that works and those that no longer works Much has changed since the baby boomers days ,including the path of staying ahead in today's digital age.To succeed from now , one must learn to accept the constant change to adaptation – continually unlearning old ‘rules’ and relearning new ones.That requires continually questioning assumptions about how things has changed , un-valid old paradigms, and ‘relearning’ what is now relevant to pursue in acquiring your wealth.This book is filled with excellent ideas and concepts of daily struggle to understand money science.There is a lot here in this book that can help an individual move toward financial freedom through understanding money and the mindset required to become wealthy, of which means you need to know what it is that separates the wealthy from the Not-so wealthy. What you need to know and identify with is what principles and what behavior the rich have , and that you need to relearn . Some of which , You have not taken action to Unlearn yet ,to stay Current and Get Ahead " Happiness that Money brings cannot last " ,With Money ,People cannot necessarily materialize everything , However without money many things cannot be done Accumulation of wealth with the pleasure to have comfort , luxuries , reputable status , financial influence, freedom and popularity are what money usually can help to achieve , its provides a centralized role in our lives , at a general necessity stage level as it helps to clothe and feed us ,to put a nice accommodation for stay and pay the bills. Money may not be everything, they may not even guarantee a happy life, but they are a pretty good basis to learn how to build happiness on ... for now I highly recommend this book to anyone who'd like to ignore the fluff available on the Internet and take action now.Now that being said, this book assumes you know about the basics like Cash Flow, budgeting, etc.It doesn't talk about investment mediums like stock market, bond, etc.And the best part is that unlike many books, this book tells you not to lead a frugal life
The History of Rome
The History of Rome
Livy
¥8.09
Literally translated, first published in 1853. According to Wikipedia: "Livy's work met with instant acclaim. His books were published in sets of ten, although when entirely completed, his whole work was available for sale in its entirety. His highly literary approach to his historical writing renders his works very entertaining, and they remained constantly popular from his own day, through the Middle Ages, and into the modern world. Dante speaks highly of him in his poetry, and Francis I of France commissioned extensive artwork treating Livian themes. That he was chosen by Rome's first emperor to be the private tutor to his successor indicates Livy's renown as a great writer and sage. As topics from his history appear to have been used for writing topics in Roman schools, it is more than likely that his works, or sections, were used as textbooks... He can be looked upon as the prose counterpart of Vergil in Golden Age Latin literature."
