Shift happens. It's time for Plan D. Long gone are the good old days where a sudden market shift was tempered -- even held back -- by restrictive laws, huge capital requirements, complex data, industry secrets, distribution networks and expensive infrastructure. Goliath has lost his edge. Today, "what's next" is conceived by firebrand leaders who topple the once proud giants of established industries. You know, the crazy ones . . . the Disruptors. This book explores two questions about them: 1. What makes them special? (So we can do what they do and upend our competition as well.) 2. How do they think? (So we know how to manage them while getting the absolute best out of them.) This book is written about -- and for -- Disruptors. It crystallizes the Disruptor's unique superhero powers so you can use them too (for good, not evil). The future belongs to the Disruptors. You need them, and they need you. This book will help you dream, drive and deliver like the crazy ones.

“A brilliantly crafted novel, brimming with heart.”―Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage “Rich and compelling . . . Her characters are vividly, achingly real, including the tiny, furry one at the novel’s center.”―Ann Packer, author of The Dive From Clausen’s Pier “Stark and compelling . . . rigorously unsentimental yet suffused with emotion.”―Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Duncan Wheeler is a successful architect who savors the quotidian pleasures in life until a car accident leaves him severely paralyzed and haunted by the death of his young assistant. Now, Duncan isn’t sure what there is left to live for, when every day has become “a broken series of unsuccessful gestures.” Duncan and his wife, Laura, find themselves in conflict as Duncan’s will to live falters. Laura grows desperate to help him. An art conservator who has her own relationship to the repair of broken things, Laura brings home a highly trained helper monkey―a tufted capuchin named Ottoline―to assist Duncan with basic tasks. Duncan and Laura fall for this sweet, comical, Nutella-gobbling little creature, and Duncan’s life appears to become more tolerable, fuller, and funnier. Yet the question persists: Is it enough? Katharine Weber is a masterful observer of humanity, and Still Life with Monkey, full of tenderness and melancholy, explores the conflict between the will to live and the desire to die.
