She was a wretched abandoned rich wife, and he was the proud old diamond king. She pissed him off, he. He had nearly crippled her. He saved her, she. Yet she was treated as a slut. Love seemed to be a duel between two people who were at odds with each other in everything. After all the conspiracies, he had helped her clear all obstacles and rise again. Only in the end did he understand that love was best known for its calm after the dust had settled.

Do it well with Startup CEO, a "master class in building a business." —Dick Costolo, Former CEO, Twitter Being a startup CEO is a job like no other: it’s difficult, risky, stressful, lonely, and often learned through trial and error.

The demands to deliver at a consistently high level can be unforgiving. The loneliness. The weight of responsibility. The relentless second-guessing and criticism. The pressure to build all-star teams. The 24/7 schedule that requires superhuman stamina. The tough decisions that often leave no one happy. The expectation to always have the right answer when it can be hard just to know the right question.
