The End of Alzheimer's

The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline

Dale Bredesen

In this book, Dr. Dale Bredesen presents a revolutionary program that fundamentally changes how we understand and treat Alzheimer’s disease. He argues that Alzheimer’s is not one condition but three distinct conditions, each impacting the brain differently. The book outlines 36 metabolic factors (including micronutrients, hormone levels, and sleep) that can trigger cognitive decline and provides a detailed protocol, known as ReCODE, to rebalance these factors through lifestyle modifications such as diet, supplementation, exercise, and brain training. The approach emphasizes the importance of addressing multiple 'holes' in brain health to prevent and reverse cognitive decline.

Jim Collins

It includes the original text of 'Beyond Entrepreneurship' along with four new chapters and fifteen new essays. The book provides a roadmap for turning a company into a thriving, enduring entity, emphasizing leadership growth, people decisions, the importance of 'BHAG' (Big Hairy Audacious Goals), and the concept of 'The Map'—an integrated framework for building superior companies. Collins honors his mentor, Bill Lazier, and reexamines the original text with his 2020 perspective, making it a valuable resource for both new and experienced entrepreneurs.

Good to Great

Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't

Jim Collins

In 'Good to Great,' Jim Collins and his research team investigate why some companies achieve long-term greatness while others do not. The book identifies key concepts such as Level 5 Leadership, the Hedgehog Concept, a Culture of Discipline, and the Flywheel Effect. These principles are derived from a comprehensive study comparing companies that made the leap to greatness with those that did not. The research highlights that greatness is not primarily a function of circumstance but rather a result of conscious choice and discipline. The book provides practical insights and case studies to help businesses and leaders understand and apply these principles to achieve sustained greatness.
