I am currently reading this book ‘Range - Why generalists triumph in a specialized world’ and it brings a fresh perspective that being ‘Jack-of-all-trades’ does have merit. It is counterintuitive to what we all have been told since childhood - Pick a #career and specialize in it. In the world full of specialists, having dabbled in a range of work exposes one to different ideas and the ability to have diverse perspectives. In some sense, traditional companies always encouraged senior leadership roles to work in different departments to understand the business more holistically. Coming to #entrepreneurs , I have personally seen that the ability to wear different hats at the same time and the ability to deep dive into these different subjects is a hallmark of a good entrepreneur. #WeekendMusings …see more

A friend recently gifted me ‘The Infinite Game’ by Simon Sinek . As I continue reading it, I thought of sharing beautiful chunks from the first few pages. 1. In the Infinite Game of #Business , we may not know all of the other players, and new ones can join the game at any time. 2. To one company, being number one may be based on the number of customers they serve. To another, it could be about revenues, stock performance… In infinite games, there are multiple metrics, which is why we can never declare a winner. 3. The game of business has no finish line. Despite the fact that companies are playing in a game that cannot be won, too many business #leaders keep playing as if they can. 4. To succeed in the Infinite Game of business, we have to stop thinking about who wins or who’s the best and start thinking about building organizations that are strong enough and healthy enough to stay in the game for many generations to come. 5. The true value of an organization is measured by the desire others have to contribute to that organization’s ability to keep succeeding. #MyBookNotes #Entrepreneurship …see more

Health data is the new oil! The infographic describes the sources your health data is coming from. It's important that you are aware of these in the age of digital health and A.I. Our newest e-book, Privacy In The Digital Health Era, tackles this complicated topic from three angles: 1. Healthcare institutions holding on to your data (your medical records) 2.

The popularity of both our recently published studies about the use of artificial intelligence in the future of healthcare proves that it's high time for everyone to know at least the basics of A.I., especially working in medicine and healthcare. If you ever wonder where to start, here are three books that heavily impacted how I see A.I. 1) Human Compatible by Stuart Russels provided the perfect context and historical background to understand where A.I. is coming from. 2) You Look Like a Thing and I Love You by Janelle Shane showed me what A.I. is really capable of today (and what it is not). 3) Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom gave a glimpse into the far future of A.I. and described where it is heading. If I were you, I'd start with these three books. Then, there will be hundreds of others that are excellent. I'll share my list soon. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #deeplearning #machinelearning …see more

When it came to exposing their bad loans, Indian banks had been belly dancing but the Reserve Bank of India forced them to do a striptease. Want to read more on this? Read Tamal Bandyopadhyay's `From Lehman to Demonetization'. It describes graphically how some public-sector banks have been driving down the slow lane to death, loaded with bad assets. Many of the loans that had been restructured following the Lehman collapse continued to haunt them but they were in a denial mode till Raghuram Rajan drove the first of its kind asset quality review, or AQR, for these banks. The has traced the rise in the bad debts of Indian banks and tried to go to the roots—as to why assets go bad. Is it the inefficiency of the management? Is it the interference of the government? Rogue corporations? Or, is it about business cycles going bust?  To read the book, visit: http://amzn.to/2AucbeQ …see more

An A.I.’s been put to use to predict breast cancer during a time when women skip their examinations due to fear of contracting the virus. “Lehman says the AI approach has helped identify a number of women who, when persuaded to come in for routine screening, turn out to have early signs of cancer. The women flagged by the algorithm were three times as likely to develop cancer; previous statistical techniques were no better than random.” Learn more about A.I. in healthcare to be able to understand, anticipate and control it.

Looking for a healthy way to escape the chaos and harness the power of the pause? Let's #LightUpLinkedIn . A little over two years ago, Bruce Kasanoff and I co-authored and published “I Am,” a book of short meditations. Our intent was to provide an antidote for a distracted, multitasking world, a way for folks to regularly take some time to break free from all of the thoughts, interruptions, duties, and beliefs competing for our attention. We know a few minutes of reflection helps shift reality to lift the fog and allow possibilities to emerge. And it’s moments like those that can help restore your sanity and ground you. With the ever-present Coronavirus looming and life as we know it turned upside down, we’d like to do our part to offer a brief respite from the chaos. In addition to the “I Am” passages I’ve shared here, please visit i-am-books.com to access ALL of our book’s short meditations, ungated and available free of charge. Even if you’ve never tried meditation before, this is the perfect opportunity to begin. We hope as you read through and quietly reflect on the entries, they provide you with a much-needed boost of encouragement, and help you escape distractions, unlock your imagination, and unleash your potential. #meditation #Coronavirus …see more

In 2011, the Reserve Bank freed savings rates, the last bastion of mandated interest rate in Indian banking. For better transmission of the monetary policy, the Indian central bank has also been continuously evolving the benchmark loan rates of banks for better monetary transmission – from prime lending rate to base rate to MCLR or marginal cost of funds based lending rate. And now, it is looking for an external benchmark to which the banks will link their loan rates. ‘From Lehman to Demonetization’ explains all these in a lucid way without any jargons.

I wrote Hooked to expose the ways companies like Facebook and Twitter have used habit-forming products to build tech empires. ...but I didn’t write the book for them 🤔 I wrote Hooked for people like you! In truth, the techniques I broke down in Hooked were no secret to those giants tech companies. They've known about how to build habit-forming products for years and they've used that knowledge to keep us liking, scrolling, and engaged. My goal with Hooked was to take those techniques and democratize them. I wanted to show everybody the psychology at work and make that knowledge accessible to all. It should NOT just be the Silicon Valley giants who can build habits in people’s lives. Here are a few ways the Hooked Model has been implemented since the book first came out... • I helped The New York Times keep people engaged and stay up-to-date with the news. • A company called Fidbod uses the model to hook people to health and fitness. • Kahoot has used it to get kids hooked on learning -- yes, learning!

Former Reserve Bank of India governor YV Reddy could save the banking system from the impact of Lehman collapse but India’s microfinance industry—which had been growing at a breakneck speed—got almost wiped out. The event came to pass when the promulgation of a state law in Andhra Pradesh, the hotbed of microfinance, put severe restrictions on its activities. In 2010, SKS Microfinance Ltd got itself listed on the bourses, the second microfinance entity globally to do so after Banco Compartamos in Mexico in 2007, but months after that the Andhra Pradesh law nearly killed SKS and many others. If you want to know what exactly happened in India’s growing microfinance industry, read ‘From Lehman to Demonetization’. The book dissects the crisis triggered by the Andhra Pradesh law, the industry’s journey through hell and back, and its display of maturity and resilience. However, not everyone has learned lessons from the crisis and hence we see new hotspots. Demonetization and frequent farm loan waivers have also impacted their health. It catches all these and offers pointers to the future. To read the book:  http://amzn.to/2AucbeQ …see more

I found writing a book really hard, something about the permanence of it, that it demands so much of a readers time and they pay proper money for it. Each and every week I hear more about it that makes me think my book is worth it. So maybe give it a try. https://lnkd.in/eeGtW8z …see more

I got a bit fed up of the bad sales pitches on here, so I made this course with Skillshare.... You get 2 months free access too, so can learn how to make bird boxes or how to play the pan pipes or to dowse for gold or some such. The best thing about is was the review that said "I literally got a job at Uber Headquarters thanks to this class guy. I'm not even kidding" . Which is actually turns out was true and not some sort of bot like spam. "Getting a YES: How to Prep, Pitch, Persuade, and Close" …see more

My smile when my second book gets published in China. Just received the Chinese edition of “My Health Upgraded”.
