In 'The Power of When,' Dr. Michael Breus presents a revolutionary approach to enhancing health, productivity, and happiness by understanding and aligning daily activities with your unique chronotype. The book categorizes individuals into four chronotypes—Dolphins, Lions, Bears, and Wolves—based on their sleep and wake patterns. It provides a comprehensive Bio-Time Quiz to help readers identify their chronotype and offers insights on the best times to perform various activities such as exercising, eating, and working. By synchronizing daily routines with the body's natural rhythms, readers can improve their energy levels, focus, productivity, and overall well-being[1][3][5].
In this book, Mark Carney examines the shortcomings and challenges of the market over the past decade, arguing that these have led to rampant public distrust. He focuses on four major crises: the Global Financial Crisis, the Global Health Crisis, Climate Change, and the 4th Industrial Revolution. Carney proposes tangible action plans for leaders, companies, and countries to transform the value of the market back into the value of humanity. He argues that the world has moved from a market economy to a market society, where everything is valued based on its monetary price, eroding societal values such as solidarity, fairness, responsibility, and sustainability[1][3][4].
