#Girlboss

By Sophia Amoruso

P375

MANILA, Philippines - Sophia Amoruso, who spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and scrounging in dumpsters for leftover bagels, is now the founder and executive chairman of Nasty Gal, a $250-million-plus fashion retailer with more than four hundred employees. Sophia was never a typical CEO, or a typical anything, and she’s written #GIRLBOSS for other girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success, even when that path is windy as all hell and lined with naysayers.

The global code: How a new culture of universal values is reshaping business and marketing

By Clotaire Rapaille

P1,245

For decades, Clotaire Rapaille’s work focused on how people’s relationships with the most important concepts in their lives — love, health, and money, for instance — are guided by subconscious cultural messages. But recently, he has uncovered a new phenomenon: a “global unconscious,” or core values and feelings that are consistent worldwide — the result of our constant interconnectedness. Rapaille takes us on a journey through China, Brazil, India, England and everywhere in between to discover the new standards for luxury, pleasure, technology and education. Building on seven years of research, Rapaille analyzes how this new mindset has taken hold in various regions, and how marketers and service providers can tailor their offerings and marketing accordingly. The Global Code is an invaluable glimpse at how our new multi-sphere world is affecting us all.
