Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System from Crisis — and Themselves It has been described as “intellectually rigorous” and “fluent & original” by credible management & economics publications. It’s difficult to think about influential British business people without thinking of Richard Branson. The serial entrepreneur has had his hands in more businesses than you could count on two hands.

From a “feminist hero” ( Elle, The Guardian) comes a fearless firsthand account of the workplace discrimination suit that “has blown open a conversation about the status of women” ( The New York Times) in the tech industry. Entrepreneurs are always on a quest to win the race against time. As if that weren't stressful enough, we also have to enhance our willpower and strengthen our self-discipline. If not, then all of the distractions flying around will stand in the way of us getting things done.
