Want to be happier, healthier, and enjoy your job more?Make better friends at work.The data is in. It is virtually impossible to feel connected and supported in life when we don't feel that way where we spend most of our time - at work. Whether we work remotely or in an office, who we interact with consistently impacts everything from our longevity and mental health to our career success and job satisfaction.Unfortunately, too many of us don't feel like we belong at work in the ways we need. In addition to the 20% of us who report feeling lonely at work almost all the time, 60% of us report feeling it at least half the time., and that disconnection is taking a toll: more stress and burnout, less energy, decreased loyalty to our company, and increased dread for "Monday morning.

Watchdog
By Cordray, Richard
Every day across America, consumers face issues with credit cards, mortgages, car loans, and student loans. When they are cheated or mistreated, all too often they hit a brick wall against the financial companies. People are fed up with being run over by big corporations, and few have the resources or expertise to fight back on their own.It is no wonder consumers feel powerless: they are outgunned every step of the way. Since 1970, the financial industry has doubled in size. It is the biggest source of campaign contributions to federal candidates and parties, spending about $1 billion annually on campaigns and another $500 million on lobbying. The four biggest banks each now has more than $1 trillion in assets. Financial products have become a mass of fine print that consumers can hardly even read, let alone understand.

Economics
By Chang, Ha-joon
In his bestselling 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism, Cambridge economist Ha-Joon Chang brilliantly debunked many of the predominant myths of neoclassical economics. Now, in an entertaining and accessible primer, he explains how the global economy actually works--in real-world terms. Writing with irreverent wit, a deep knowledge of history, and a disregard for conventional economic pieties, Chang offers insights that will never be found in the textbooks. Unlike many economists, who present only one view of their discipline, Chang introduces a wide range of economic theories, from classical to Keynesian, revealing how each has its strengths and weaknesses, and why there is no one way to explain economic behavior. Instead, by ignoring the received wisdom and exposing the myriad forces that shape our financial world, Chang gives us the tools we need to understand our increasingly global and interconnected world often driven by economics.
