An Economist Best Book of the Year "Making Money and Keeping It" - The Wall Street Journal Over the past century, if the wealthiest families had spent a reasonable fraction of their wealth, paid taxes, invested in the stock market, and passed their wealth down to the next generation, there would be tens of thousands of billionaire heirs to generations-old fortunes today. The puzzle of The Missing Billionaires is why you cannot find one such billionaire on any current rich list. There are a number of explanations, but this book is focused on one mistake which is of profound importance to all investors: poor risk decisions, both in investing and spending. Many of these families didn't choose bad investments- they sized them incorrectly- and allowed their spending decisions to amplify this mistake. The Missing Billionaires book offers a simple yet powerful framework for making important lifetime financial decisions in a systematic and rational way. It's for readers with a baseline level of financial literacy, but doesn't require a PhD. It fills the gap between personal finance books and the academic literature, bringing the valuable insights of academic finance to non-specialists. Part One builds the theory of optimal investment sizing from first principles, starting with betting on biased coins. Part Two covers lifetime financial decision-making, with emphasis on the integration of investment, saving and spending decisions. Part Three covers practical implementation details, including how to calibrate your personal level of risk-aversion, and how to estimate the expected return and risk on a broad spectrum of investments. The book is packed with case studies and anecdotes, including one about Victor's investment with LTCM as a partner, and a bonus chapter on Liar's Poker. The authors draw extensively on their own experiences as principals of Elm Wealth, a multi-billion-dollar wealth management practice, and prior to that on their years as arbitrage traders- Victor at Salomon Brothers and LTCM, and James at Nationsbank/CRT and Citadel. Whether you are young and building wealth, an entrepreneur invested heavily in your own business, or at a stage where your primary focus is investing and spending, The Missing Billionaires: A Guide to Better Financial Decisions is your must-have resource for thoughtful financial decision-making.

Surprised.
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz, Color: White
Okay surprised this is working so well, as based on the packaging the legitimacy felt low with weird spacing and typos. That said… it seems to be working? I prefer scar tape but have a few spots that it’s tricky to keep on and this seems to working great for that. I generally have pretty sensitive skin and thus far this isn’t irritating at all and it is helping to further fade surgical scars. It also does seem like a pretty good value at this price point.

A Dazzling Deep Dive into Power, Fashion, and Iconic Style
Format: Hardcover
Beyoncé: All the Songs – The Story Behind Every Track is far more than a music companion—it’s a fascinating exploration of how sound, image, and identity merge into one of the most powerful artistic brands of our time. What truly elevates this book is how vividly it connects Beyoncé’s music to her visual language—especially her unforgettable, often bold and fetish-inspired costumes. Throughout her career, Beyoncé has used clothing not just as decoration, but as an extension of control, power, and persona. The book highlights how her stage and visual identities are built around meticulously designed outfits—form-fitting bodysuits, high-gloss materials, thigh-high boots, and sculpted silhouettes that emphasize strength and precision. These looks are not accidental; they are engineered to reinforce themes of dominance, transformation, and self-possession. There’s a striking duality in many of her costumes—what some might call “fetishistic” elements like latex-like finishes, corsetry, metallic textures, and skin-tight designs are always balanced with elegance and authority. This aligns with her broader artistic identity, often described as combining “the duality between being a woman and a warrior”. Her wardrobe becomes armor, performance tool, and statement all at once. The book also captures how her visual storytelling evolves with each era. From the coordinated, handcrafted looks of Destiny’s Child to the high-fashion collaborations with houses like Versace, Balenciaga, and Givenchy, her style continuously pushes boundaries while remaining purposeful. In large-scale performances, her costumes are part of a fully orchestrated spectacle, with multiple transformations reinforcing the narrative of each song. What makes this book so compelling is that it doesn’t just document songs—it reveals the architecture behind Beyoncé’s entire artistic universe. The costumes, in particular, stand out as a language of their own: controlled, provocative, empowering, and meticulously crafted. Five stars—an essential, visually rich, and intellectually engaging tribute to one of the most iconic artists of our time.
