Mark Carney – Value(s) Building a Better World for All
By Mark Carney (Penguin Random House, 2022)
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Winner of the 2021 National Business Book Award • Shortlisted for the 2021 Donner Prize
“In Our Digital World, We Have Never Had to Be More Human.”
“Markets don’t have values — people do.“
by Mark Carney, “Values: Building a Better World for All” (2022)
As companies re-evaluate where to base their data, people, and technology, the question is no longer just about cost or efficiency — it’s about values alignment. In an increasingly fragmented world, organizations will thrive where they can anchor themselves in inclusion, fairness, sustainability, and resilience.
Mark Carney’s Values: Building a Better World for All is both a moral wake-up call and a practical roadmap. Drawing on his experience as a global financial leader and now Prime Minister of Canada, Carney argues that today’s crises — inequality, climate change, mistrust, and digital disruption — all stem from a crisis of values. In this profoundly important book, Mark Carney offers a vision of a more humane society and a practical manifesto for getting there. How we reform our infrastructure to make things better and fairer is at the heart of every chapter, with outlines of wholly new ideas that can restructure society and enshrine our human values at the core of all that we build for our children and grandchildren.
He challenges us to re-imagine success not as market gain but as human progress. This is a manifesto for leaders, entrepreneurs, and citizens who believe that the future must be built on shared purpose and collective responsibility.
“In a fragmenting world, the future belongs to those who choose values that build, not divide.” “We’re living in a time that confuses market value with human values — a world where we know the price of Amazon the company, but not the value of the Amazon rainforest.”
by Mark Carney, “Values: Building a Better World for All” (2022)

How the World Thinks | Book and Lecture by philosopher Julian Baggini
In this groundbreaking global overview of philosophy, Julian Baggini travels the world to provide a wide-ranging map of human thought. One of the great unexplained wonders of human history is that written philosophy flowered entirely separately in China, India and Ancient Greece at more or less the same time. These early philosophies have had a profound impact on the development of distinctive cultures in different parts of the world. What we call ‘philosophy’ in the West is not even half the story.
Julian Baggini sets out to expand our horizons in How the World Thinks, exploring the philosophies of Japan, India, China and the Muslim world, as well as the lesser-known oral traditions of Africa and Australia’s first peoples. Interviewing thinkers from around the globe, Baggini asks questions such as: why is the West more individualistic than the East?

Lululemon and the Future of Technical Apparel
Hardcover – March 4 2025
by Chip Wilson (Author) This is a book about ordinary people who took an opportunity to be creative, to be innovative, and to maximize their potential.
Chip Wilson’s part in this story comes from the learning of thousands of mistakes. He set the culture, business model, quality platform, and people development program and then got out of the way. Lululemon’s exponential growth, culture, and brand strength have few peers, and it is because of those employees who choose to be great.
