THIS MONTH'S PAGE-TURNERS ON BUSINESS AND BEYOND

SUMMER READING … ALMOST

Before we reveal our summer reading list, it’s time to reveal yours. Thank you to all our readers for taking the time to send in book recommendations. Here are five of our favorites.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz seek solace in silence: “The world is louder than it’s ever been. It’s not just a little bit more auditory noise—there is a mass proliferation of mental stimulation in our world today.” Watch the full interview.

Susan Wilner Golden says companies that don’t market to the 60-plus crowd are missing out on a $22 trillion opportunity: “Traditionally, people always looked at aging as a frailty, or as a declining stage of life, but in fact, older adults are living much greater lives with longer health spans (the healthy periods of a person’s life), which enables them to be productive and to contribute to society.” Watch the full interview.

Dalia Feldheim brings the #LikeAGirl message to the corporate C-suite: “There’s no such thing as a masculine brain or a feminine brain; we all have within us both masculine traits and feminine traits. … The issue we’re seeing is that the business world is collapsing to what they call the ‘wounded masculine’—a world of competition over collaboration and power over people, versus power with people.” Watch the full interview.
