Hailed early on as a new gold standard in investing, the fund's supposedly foolproof mathematical models eventually collided with the chaos of real markets, triggering a collapse so severe it threatened the global financial system and forced the Federal Reserve to broker an emergency bailout. Roger Lowenstein, drawing on confidential internal memos and interviews with key players, crafts a gripping account of ambition, arrogance and unchecked leverage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eHow to Calm Your Mind\u003c\/em\u003e takes a different but complementary path, exploring how genuine productivity depends on mental calm rather than relentless hustle. Chris Bailey, a researcher and productivity expert who experienced his own burnout, lays out accessible, evidence-based strategies for creating the mental space needed to think clearly, work sustainably and feel more in control. Rather than offering more to-do-list hacks, the book reframes calm itself as the foundation for lasting focus and wellbeing, making it a practical companion for anyone navigating an overstimulated, anxious world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo acclaimed non-fiction titles in one convenient paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines financial history with practical mental wellbeing strategies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by two respected, widely-read non-fiction authors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for readers interested in business, finance or self-improvement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips new, in original publisher paperback editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat addition to any home, office or classroom non-fiction library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRoger Lowenstein is an American financial journalist who reported for The Wall Street Journal for over a decade and has written for The New York Times Magazine, Fortune and Bloomberg.
