A definitive guide to the metaverse: why it's important, why it matters to society, and how to create a metaverse that works for all of us 
 
The metaverse is a vision of how the next generation of the internet will operate. Many people believe it is the future. But what will that future look like? An immersive digital playground? The next generation of online gaming? Or just the latest manifestation of our human tendency to create other realities? 
 
Herman Narula argues that it is all of these things and more. His vision of the metaverse, deeply rooted in history and psychology, looks to the Egyptians, whose concept of death inspired them to build the pyramids, to modern-day sports fans whose fantasy leagues are as competitive as the real thing, and finds that humanity has always sought ways to supplement our day-to-day lives with a rich diversity of alterative immersive experiences. 
 
Virtual Society reveals why the metaverse offers a new universe of ideas that gives everyone the chance to create, explore and find meaning. It's an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand the true shape of our virtual future.

The Metaverse and the New Frontiers of Human Experience

Owen Walker

The proud owner of a sprawling £14m estate in the Cotswolds, boasting a stable of eventing horses, a fleet of supercars and neighbouring the royal family, Neil Woodford was the most celebrated and successful British investor of his generation. 
 
He spent years beating the market; betting against the dot com bubble in the 1990s and the banks before the financial crash in 2008, making blockbuster returns for his investors and earning himself a reputation of 'the man who made Middle England rich'. 
 
But, in 2019, after a stream of poorly-judged investments, Woodford's asset management company collapsed, trapping hundreds of thousands of rainy-day savers in his flagship fund and hanging £3.6bn in the balance. 
 
In Built on a Lie, Financial Times reporter Owen Walker reveals the disastrous failings of Woodford, the greed at the heart of his operation, the flaws of an industry in thrall to its star performers and the dangers of limited regulation. With exclusive access to Woodford's inner circle, Walker will reveal the full, jaw-dropping story of Europe's biggest investment scandal in a decade.

The Rise and Fall of Neil Woodford and the Fate of Middle England’s Money

Megan Hellerer

So many of us have done everything "right" for our careers. You picked a career "destination", got the grades, made the 5-year plan, checked all the boxes, worked hard, and climbed the ladder -- and now? You're miserable. Every career milestone has made you feel emptier and you've finally arrived at your "destination" to find that you're stuck, burned out and left wondering, 'WTF and I doing with my life?' 
 
In DIRECTIONAL LIVING, Megan Hellerer shows us how everything we've been taught about achievement and the path to success is wrong. She presents a new way of thinking about our lives, one that turns away from the voices telling us what a good life "should" look like and instead employs a toolkit full of ideas for a step-by-step approach to activating your purpose and finding an ambition that aligns with the direction in life you really want to take. 
 
Through Hellerer's revolutionary Directional Living Method, we can get unstuck in our careers or even transform them, move from misery to meaning, and find the work we are meant to be doing in the world.

Get Unstuck, Find Career Fulfillment and Discover a Life that’s Right for You
