The Art of Fairness (häftad, eng)

Can you succeed without being a terrible person? We often think not: recognising that, as the old saying has it, ''nice guys finish last''. But does that mean you have to go to the other extreme, and be a bully or Machiavellian to get anything done?

In THE ART OF FAIRNESS, David Bodanis uses thrilling historical case studies to show there''s a better path, leading neatly in betweenHe reveals how it was fairness, applied with skill, that led the Empire State Building to be constructed in barely a year - and how the same techniques brought a quiet English debutante to become an acclaimed jungle guerrilla fighter. In ten vivid profiles - featuring pilots, presidents, and even the producer of Game of Thrones - we see that the path to greatness doesn''t require crushing displays of power or tyrannical ego.

Simple fair decency can prevail.

With surprising insights from across history - including the downfall of the very man who popularised the phrase ''nice guys finish last'' - THE ART OF FAIRNESS charts a refreshing and sustainable new approach to cultivating integrity and influence.
