Description of Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World  (English, Paperback) by Cal Newport
Cal Newport discusses in his new book, Deep Work: Rules For Focused Success In A Distracted World, about how professionals of today have started valuing quantity over quality; and how this has turned young professionals of today into puppets who try to indulge in extensive multitasking, dealing with multiple emails and projects. This prevents them from doing 'deep work'; which is focused work free from all other distractions. This also means that the professionals of today should sort out their priorities.

Newport uses principles of psychology and neuroscience to enhance his points. He elaborates how to improve a person's cognitive abilities and how employers should encourage workers to not take shortcuts for completing projects. He claims that the best way to break away from the corporate race is to take a break from technology and social media and use some alone-time to rewind and introspect. Newport enforces the beliefs of a non-technophile to deliver work that is productive and efficiently delivered.

In doing so, they will discover that the roads which have been less travelled by will make all the difference between a zero and a one.

Written in a fast-paced thriller style, The Goal, a gripping novel, is transforming management thinking throughout the world.

It takes a chance meeting with a professor from student days - Jonah - to help him break out of conventional ways of thinking to see what needs to be done.

Description of The Design of Everyday Things (English)(Paperback) by Don Norman

The Design of Everyday Things is a bestselling book by cognitive scientist and usability engineer Donald Norman. This book serves as a powerful manual on how and why some products satisfy the needs of the customer, whereas the others mostly frustrates them.

Summary of the Book

In The Design of Everyday Things, the author writes about how design serves as a mode of communication between object and user. The author also provides ways of improving this communication to make the experience of using the object pleasurable. This book was published in 1988 and was initially titled The Psychology of Everyday Things. But later the author and his friends felt that the present title of the book conveyed the content of the book better. One of the major highlights of the book is that although people most often blame themselves when objects malfunction, it is not the fault of the customer but a lack of intuitive guidance which is lacking in the design. The book is packed with case studies which describe the psychology of good and bad designs along with several design principles by the author. This book will make for an interesting read for people from a wide range of disciplines including behavioral psychology, ergonomics, and design practice.

About Don Norman

Don Norman is an academic in the field of cognitive science, design and usability engineering. He is also a co-founder and consultant with the Nielsen Norman Group. Norman is a distinguished Visiting Professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, where he spends 2 months a year teaching. He also holds the title of Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Science at the University of California. Dr. Norman is also a part of a number of educational, private, and public sector advisory boards including the editorial board of Encyclopædia Britannica. He has authored several books including Living with Complexity.

What makes a company truly outstanding? What is the secret sauce of delivering successful results year-on-year? What is common to Asian Paints, HDFC Bank, Marico, Axis Bank, Hindustan Unilever and Berger Paints? They are Unusual Companies, built by Unusual Billionaires. The Unusual Billionaires tells the story of eight, truly outstanding companies which delivered 10 per cent revenue growth over the last ten years and 15 per cent return on capital employed. In simple words, these companies defeated 5000 other public listed companies to deliver high growth while maintaining profitability year-on-year for the last decade. How did these companies do it? Why couldnt this be reciprocated by other companies? What are they doing differently? Saurabh Mukherjea, bestselling author of Gurus of Chaos, delivers an outstanding book with lessons to learn from these eight businesses.

Description of The Golden Tap : The Inside Story of Hyper Funded Indian Startups (English)(Hardcover) by Kashyap Deorah

Ever wondered why global investors are willing to write million dollar cheques to young and inexperienced entrepreneurs? Why companies are no longer judged on their ability to make profits? Why the valuation of a start up can dwarf that of its well - established counterpart? Is it a bubble? Or have the rules of the game changed?

Can these hyper - funded, technology driven companies become global superpowers? Or is it an unsustainable phenomenon? The Golden Tap gives you the answers.

In a remarkably honest, no holds barred account, Kashyap himself a serial entrepreneur demystifies the technology ecosystem that exists in India today. From the origins of Amazon and Google, to the remarkable growth of Flipkart and Ola, he meticulously plots and chronicles a connected global sequence of events.
Set in this background he recounts his personal roller coaster of a life. A story filled with ambition, greed, vanity, fear and success that all young entrepreneurs can relate to.
