The amazing success story of the man behind Ströer, t-online.de, Statista... With his perseverance and penchant for risk-taking, Udo Müller has put everything on one horse on more than one occasion. He started off in the world of out-of-home advertising and became the market leader, fi rst in East Germany and then in unified Germany. Then he went global. And shortly afterwards, he went public on the stock market in spectacular fashion. This was followed by the expansion of his product line to include digital publishing, online marketing and direct marketing. During the period of transition from the "old economy" to the "new economy" Ströer has developed into a unique and diverse media empire.

In 2000, Marc Wallert and 20 other hostages were taken by terrorists to a Philippine island and imprisoned in the jungle for 140 days. 20 years later, he describes the strategies he used to survive and what he learned from the experience. The jungle didn't break him, but the day-to-day life that followed drove him to burnout. In order to better understand why, he set out to find answers by focusing on the defining moments of his life - the crises. In this book, he explains effective strategies for both private and professional life that can help people get through crises and become even stronger as they do so.

What is diplomacy? An art, a craft? Or something in between? Is there such a thing as a diplomatic secret recipe? What actually makes a good diplomat? What tips and tricks help to break the deadlock? When does humor help, when only bluffing? How do diplomatic cultures and styles differ in different countries? How undiplomatic can, and perhaps even must, a diplomat sometimes be? How does the work of today's diplomats differ from that of their predecessors? And why do we need diplomats today, when half the world is just a click away from the next video conference? In this book, renowned companions of Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger - including several current and former heads of state and government - reflect on basic questions of diplomacy. Taking the reader behind the scenes of diplomacy, they reveal their most astonishing experiences, successes, and failures on the diplomatic stage, or outline their ideas for the diplomatic handling of unresolved challenges. A book for anyone who wants to better understand what matters when negotiating war and peace.

A revolution of consciousness or our own demise-the choice is ours Algorithms are increasingly becoming authorities and competing directly with humans. Recommendation engines have long taken control of our lives. We are threatened by a final narcissistic injury, and we are alienated by the fatal information society that we live in. But humans are still the 'gluons' that connect our perceived reality-the environment, society, and the economy-with our inner world: what it means to be a human being, a Mensch. If we want to ensure that the machines continue to serve us after the digital tsunami, then now is the time to leverage the full power of our reason to build a humanistic society. "An excellent book that tackles the most important questions of our time. A must-read for anyone who does not just want to see the future, but wants to be an active part of it." Marshall Goldsmith, Two-time Thinkers 50 #1 Leadership Thinker "The Quantum Economy is a highly timely and truly relevant book. This new world-with Covid-19 and all the panic following it-begs us all to redefine how we live and how we do business. A must read for anyone in search for meaning in how to run businesses." Martin Lindstrom, New York Times best-selling author of Small Data and Buyology "The Quantum Economy opens up new perspectives on the economy of today and tomorrow-and on how our economy affects society. An inspirational reading that stimulates discussion and leaves a lasting impression." Yves Pigneur, Professor of Management Information Systems, University of Lausanne "Anders Indset's thought-provoking new book is a must-read, and one I wish I had read prior to the outbreak of the pandemic." Dorie Clark, author of Entrepreneurial You and Stand Out, and executive education faculty, Duke University Fuqua School of Business
