Un íntimo, poderoso e inspirador libro de memorias de la exprimera dama de Estados Unidos. Michelle Obama, una de las mujeres más icónicas de nuestra era, se convirtió en la primera afroamericana en desempeñar este papel, promoviendo la apertura y pluralidad en la Casa Blanca. Se destacó como defensora de las mujeres y las niñas, impulsó cambios para fomentar un estilo de vida saludable y acompañó a su esposo en momentos difíciles de la historia del país. A lo largo de su trayectoria, compartió momentos de alegría, como sus pasos de baile y su participación en Carpool Karaoke, mientras criaba a dos hijas bajo el escrutinio mediático. En sus memorias, invita al lector a conocer su mundo, desde su infancia en el sur de Chicago hasta su vida en la residencia más famosa, y su experiencia como alta directiva equilibrando maternidad y carrera. Con honestidad y un ingenio vivaz, relata sus logros y decepciones en lo público y lo privado, narrando su vida en sus propios términos. Cálido y revelador, este relato excepcionalmente íntimo de una mujer de gran moralidad y valía nos inspira a seguir su ejemplo.

Young and fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father to launch a company aimed at importing high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. Selling from the trunk of his Plymouth Valiant, he grossed eight thousand dollars in his first year, 1963. Today, Nike's annual sales exceed $30 billion, with its swoosh symbol recognized globally. Despite this success, Knight has remained a mystery. In a candid and beautifully crafted memoir, he shares his journey for the first time. It begins with a pivotal moment at twenty-four, backpacking around the world and grappling with life's big questions, leading him to choose an unconventional path of entrepreneurship over corporate life. Knight recounts the terrifying risks, setbacks, ruthless competitors, and doubters he faced, alongside his thrilling triumphs and narrow escapes. He emphasizes the foundational relationships that shaped Nike, particularly with his former track coach, Bill Bowerman, and his first employees—a diverse group who became a close-knit team. Together, fueled by a bold vision and a belief in the transformative power of sport, they built a brand and culture that changed everything.

Steve Jobs is het meest bekend als mede-oprichter van Apple Inc. Voor Apple Inc. was hij een briljante ontwerper en uitvinder die het bedrijfsleven benaderde met een onverwachte slimheid en vreugde voor ontdekking. Jobs creëerde gadgets die het digitale tijdperk van vandaag transformeerden en laat de erfenis achter van een ware visionair.

Walter Isaacson's biography of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs is a captivating exploration of the life and personality of a creative entrepreneur whose relentless pursuit of perfection transformed six industries: personal computers, animated films, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Drawing from over forty interviews with Jobs and more than 100 conversations with family, friends, adversaries, and colleagues, Isaacson crafts a compelling narrative that resonates with millions. As America seeks to maintain its innovative edge, Jobs emerges as the quintessential symbol of creativity and technological synergy. He believed in merging imagination with engineering to create value in the modern era. Despite cooperating with the author, Jobs allowed complete freedom in storytelling, encouraging honest reflections from those around him. This openness reveals the complexities of his character—his passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, and need for control—all of which influenced his business philosophy and led to groundbreaking products. The biography serves as both an instructive and cautionary tale, offering valuable insights into innovation, leadership, and personal values. Jobs' story also inspired a film featuring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin.
