Happy Friday, HK! We're coming onto the last weekend before Christmas so we've generously compiled a list of books for those last minute shoppers who need some gift inspiration 🛍 We've tagged each of the books according to their relevant genres so you can easily match up the books to the interests of your loved ones, but we'll also add a quick blurb for each book here: HUNDRED: WHAT YOU LEARN IN A LIFETIME...
by Heike Faller
Do you want to know what life has in store? It's all here in this book. All the little things we learn in the course of our lives. A page a year, from nought to a hundred. A bestseller in Germany, HUNDRED is a book given by children to grandparents and the other way around. With every age beautifully illustrated by Valerio Vidali, Hundred cannot simply be read because, like life itself, it must be experienced. CONSOLATIONS
by David Whyte
With the imagery of a poet and the reflection of a philosopher, David Whyte turns his attention to 52 ordinary words, each its own particular doorway into the underlying currents of human life. CONSOLATIONS invites readers into a poetic and thoughtful consideration of words whose meaning and interpretation influence the paths we choose and the way we traverse them throughout our lives. LAST CHRISTMAS
by Greg Wise & Emma Thompson
The perfect gift book, featuring the writing of Meryl Streep, Bill Bailey, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Caitlin Moran, Richard Ayoade, Emily Watson and others, to coincide with the upcoming movie Last Christmas. This is a beautiful, funny and soulful collection of personal essays about the meaning of Christmas, written by a unique plethora of voices from the boulevards of Hollywood to the soup kitchens of Covent Garden. The MAN WHO SOLVED THE MARKET: HOW JIM SIMONS LAUNCHED THE QUANT REVOLUTION
by Gregory Zuckerman
Drawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees, Zuckerman, a veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former code breaker mastered the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven, algorithmic approach that's sweeping the world. The Man Who Solved the Market is a portrait of a modern-day Midas who remade markets in his own image, but failed to anticipate how his success would impact his firm and his country. It's also a story of what Simons's revolution means for the rest of us. Whew! If you've read all the way through, thanks for the effort and we hope that these recommendations help you with your Christmas scramble, I mean, shopping. 展开
