What if there was a uniquely safe place to put your money that also earned the best long-term returns? In this new and updated edition of Only the Best Will Do, master investor Peter Seilern reveals everything you need to know to practise the art of quality growth investing: finding the companies that can reliably deliver steady and strong growth for the long term. Distilling everything he has learned from a lifetime in the financial markets, Peter Seilern will enlighten you on how to narrow down from tens of thousands of listed stocks to the select elite that belong in a quality growth investor’s portfolio. These are shares that can be safer than bank deposits or government bonds. They also upend conventional wisdom on the merits of diversification, and reveal typical index-hugging fund management as even more self-serving and unjustified than many thought. Quality growth businesses are the ultimate assets for those serious about making their investments work for them over the long term while minimising the risk of permanent loss of capital. You don't even need to worry too much about overpaying. All quality growth investing requires is patience, independent thinking, and the special golden rules - revealed here in detail - for finding the very best companies in the world. For the investor truly interested in making the most of their time in the markets, only the best will do.

We've all been there: a new school year starts and there's 8 months till your exams - that's plenty of time, right? Then there's 6 months, 3 months, 1 month and oh, now there's 2 weeks left and you haven't started studying... What happens next is a panic-induced mayhem of highlighting everything in the textbook (without even questioning if it's actually helpful). But I'm here to help you change this! In The Only Study Guide You'll Ever Need, I'll cover a range of different topics including: · How to get started and pick up that pen · Learning techniques that actually work (hello, science of memory!) · The dos and don'ts of timetabling · And combatting fear of failure, perfectionism, exam stress and so much more! As a fellow student now at university, I definitely don't have a PhD in Exam Etiquette but this is the book younger me needed. All I wanted was one place that had a variety of tried-and-tested methods with reassurance from someone who had recently been through the education system. The Only Study Guide You'll Ever Need is just that, and I have collected the best techniques and tools I wish I'd known earlier to help you get through your studies and smash your exams! Jade x

An urgent, compact manifesto that will teach you how to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future when talking to police. Law professor James J. Duane became a viral sensation thanks to a 2008 lecture outlining the reasons why you should never agree to answer questions from the police--especially if you are innocent and wish to stay out of trouble with the law. In this timely, relevant, and pragmatic new book, he expands on that presentation, offering a vigorous defense of every citizen's constitutionally protected right to avoid self-incrimination. Getting a lawyer is not only the best policy, Professor Duane argues, it's also the advice law-enforcement professionals give their own kids. Using actual case histories of innocent men and women exonerated after decades in prison because of information they voluntarily gave to police, Professor Duane demonstrates the critical importance of a constitutional right not well or widely understood by the average American. Reflecting the most recent attitudes of the Supreme Court, Professor Duane argues that it is now even easier for police to use your own words against you. This lively and informative guide explains what everyone needs to know to protect themselves and those they love.

People who are not addicts themselves cannot understand the irrational, self-destructive actions of those who are, and often judge them morally. Few feel compassion for those they call "dope fiends." Poet Richard D. Kydd Jr. opens a window into the deep suffering of the millions whose lives are dominated by the endless search for the next high. His unsparingly authentic snapshots of life in the grip of addiction make the entire drug culture vividly real. But Kydd's real power lies in his ability to elicit understanding and compassion for addicts. His grittily real but lyrical descriptions of the tragic but compellingly human lives of addicts will change the way you look at these social outcasts forever. This book speaks powerfully to three groups. Non-addicts will get a glimpse into hell, and come away more accepting, less inclined to judge. Reformed addicts will experience their pasts vividly, and come away determined to remain clean. Addicts will be frightened by this unsparingly honest look, and will hopefully come away determined to heal. Kydd is a spokesman of the downtrodden and despairing - yet he is a poet of hope. Chasing the Dragon is one of his most focused, powerful works.

Summary of The Paradox of Choice - Why More Is Less - A Comprehensive Summary Starting with choosing cereal at a local store to buying jeans, the number of options to choose from is ever increasing in the name of freedom for the individual. We can imagine a point at which the options would be so copious that even the world’s most ardent supporters of freedom of choice would begin to say ‘enough already.’ But that point doesn’t seem to come. Choosing retirement plans: Not every employee is going to know what a good retirement investment plan is, and if he chooses a wrong plan he will lose his retirement money. Even though it is a freedom of choice for the employee, not every employee is going to be a financial expert. This new choice demands more extensive research and creates more individual responsibility for failure. As we were given the freedom to choose, any failure will be our responsibility. Choosing Medical Care: In the 1990s and 2000s, if we went to a doctor he would do all the tests for us under a standard protocol for physical exams but nowadays it is not like that. Now, we have to tell the doctor what he/she has to do even though he/she is the specialist. Another life-altering choice given to us even though we don’t have time to do extensive research and become experts.
