Author：Lim Teck Ghee & Murray Hunter
Publisher：SIRD
Call Number：320.000 / L1
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
Lim and Hunter take on the daunting task of unraveling the complexities of the Malaysian journey since independence. They have dared to touch on all the issues that really matter which have been bullied out of the public space for being ‘sensitive’ and therefore off-limits to any reasonable discussion. Yet discuss them we must. Through the years, Malaysia, or rather her politicians, have woven a tangled web of power, race, religion, and corruption that seems impenetrable. These power dynamics have brought us to our current sorry state.
This book helps us to take that crucial first step of looking at ourselves honestly and critically. If we can all put the nation first and do just that, we have a chance at Malaysia we dreamed of. This book is essential reading for all Malaysians who believe this is yet possible.

Synopsis：
Just like seeds can give shape to a garden, James Allen’s most celebrated work — As A Man Thinketh — delves into how our thoughts shape our minds.

Equally, weeding out negative and destructive thoughts is essential to nudge our destiny.
Allen goes deep into the theme of destiny in his The Mastery of Destiny — popularly known as an ‘ode to the mind’. He states that the choices we make in our lives charter our destiny. It is almost a step-by-step guide of how to seize control on our habits so that we may influence our thoughts and actions. Thus in mastering our mind, we can master our destiny itself.
As a self-help guide, Eight Pillars of Prosperity, contains essential truths that are valid today as much as they were a century ago when Allen penned them. This book helps us clarify our thoughts and cement the philosophy by which we can lead our lives to be truly successful and remain prosperous. This building of prosperity rests on eight foundational pillars of virtue —Energy, Economy, Integrity, System, Sympathy, Sincerity, Impartiality, and Self-reliance.

How can the furniture in your home affect your well-being? What colour clothing will help you play sports better? And what simple trick will calm you after a tense day at work?
In this revelatory book, pioneering and entertaining Oxford professor Charles Spence shows how our senses change the way we think and feel, and how by ‘hacking’ them we can reduce stress, become more productive and be happier.
We like to think of ourselves as rational beings, and yet it’s the scent of expensive face cream that removes wrinkles (temporarily), a room actually feels warmer if you use a warmer paint colour, and the noise of the crowd really does affect the referee’s decision. Understanding how our senses interact can produce incredible results. This is popular science at its unbelievable best.

LEADERS EAT LAST: WHY SOME TEAMS PULL TOGETHER AND OTHERS DON’T
Author：Simon Sinek
Publisher：Portfolio/Penguin
Call Number：658.400 / S3
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels safe when they are there and returns home feeling fulfilled by the work they do. It’s not as crazy as you might think.
The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. “Officers eat last,” he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What’s symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders will sacrifice their interests for the good of those in their care.
Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a “Circle of Safety” that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside.
Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.
CHIP WAR: THE FIGHT FOR THE WORLD’S MOST CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY
Author：Chris Miller
Publisher：Simon & Schuster
Call Number：338.000 / M1
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
Virtually everything runs on chips: cars, phones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Power in the modern world, military, economic, geopolitical is built on a foundation of computer chips. Until now, America has dominated advances in chips, but that edge is in danger of slipping. China, which spends more on chips than on any other product, is pouring billions into a project to catch up.
The battle to control this industry will shape our future. China is still fundamentally reliant on foreign chips but with over a third of the global supply being made in Taiwan, within easy range of Chinese missiles, the West’s fear is that a solution to China’s vulnerability may be close at hand.
Illuminating, timely and fascinating, Chip War shows that, to make sense of the current state of politics, economics and technology, we must first understand the vital role played by chips.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Author：Daniel Goleman
Publisher：Bantam Books
Call Number：152.400 / G1
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until the discoveries of modern brain researchers, theorists could only guess why. Daniel Goleman’s fascinating report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers us startling new insight into our “two minds” — the rational and the emotional — and how they together shape our destiny.
Beginning deep in the brain, Emotional Intelligence shows us the exact mechanism of an “emotional hijack,” when passion overcomes reason. Through vivid examples, Goleman then delineates the crucial skills of emotional intelligence, and shows how they determine our success in relationships and work, and even our physical well-being. What emerges is a crucial new way to talk about being smart. The final chapters reveal the possibilities — and limits — of “emotional literary,” as it is taught by both parents and educators.
This book concludes with a compelling vision of what true emotional intelligence means for us both as individuals and as a society. The message of this eye-opening book is one we must take to heart: the true “bell curve” for a democracy must measure emotional intelligence. Daniel Goleman offers a new vision of excellence and a vital new curriculum for life that can change the future for us and our children.
