Will could never have predicted how much his life would change when he is knocked from his bicycle by a hit-and-run driver whilst returning home from his London clinic. His wife, Lara, takes him to an A&E where he is diagnosed with concussion. Having cancelled his clients upcoming appointments, he spends the following week in fitful sleep. When Will returns to his practice, something is very weird and very wrong. It seems that Will or a form of Will held the appointments with his regular clients whilst he was at home asleep. This Will gave some shocking therapy that was completely out of character for him and he finds himself bringing up things in their history of which they have no memory. The sessions go badly, and walking home, Will passes the London Eye. A young woman in a gondola smiles at him and takes his picture. She wears a red sweater and white jeans. When Will goes to a restaurant, the same woman appears at the next table. Later, she appears at his studio, having made an appointment. She wants Will to be her therapist. Chance encounters with her become more frequent and more bizarre. Whats more, as they start to take a toll on Wills marriage, his livelihood and his sense of self, it seems Emma knows a lot more about Will than she should. Autorid: Sebastian Beaumont

In todays polarising world, businesses frequently face competing demands from across the political spectrum. Progressives are pushing companies to minimise environmental footprints and enhance diversity, equity and inclusion, while conservative activists are labelling those initiatives as woke and urging executives to focus solely on profit maximisation. How should corporate leaders navigate this volatile landscape? Purposeful Capitalism charts a path forward, centred on the idea of profitable problem-solving. Drawing on lessons from fourteen well-known companies across industries and countries, this book argues that businesses must promote human progress by tackling societal challenges. This requires harnessing the best elements of capitalism, including the ability to attract investment and motivate people through financial rewards. Profit, when it stems from value-creating activities rather than a myopic obsession with financial engineering, should be celebrated, not vilified. Engaging and insightful, the book introduces a new framework the Sustainability Flywheel which explores how strategy, business models, and sustainability factors interact to create financial value. It shows that good intentions dont guarantee commercial success. Instead, business leaders must focus on material issues aligned with their strategy and competitive advantage. The result is a more nuanced perspective that moves beyond dogmatic debates about sustainability and capitalism. Offering practical guidance for business leaders and investors, Purposeful Capitalism is vital reading for anyone interested in improving our economic system and building a flourishing society.
