Description
Find out where the new innovation hot spots are, what the next consumer waves will be, and where to catch them. Asia's innovation hot spots are fast emerging as first-choice destinations for bright, young entrepreneurs. From Taiwan to Singapore, technology center hubs are forming to rival the original Silicon Valley. Startup Asia gives you a close-up view into the key growth trends shaping entrepreneurship in China and India, plus the new frontier market of Vietnam. Showing how entrepreneurs and investors can start up in Asia and go global, the book provides a first-hand, on-the-ground tour of the new technology centers that are gaining momentum all over Asia. Interviews with the most successful venture capitalists and entrepreneurs reveal their winning strategies and show how a new generation of entrepreneurs in China and India are no longer looking to the West for their cues—but are instead crafting their own local business models and success strategies. From high-profile Forbes contributor Rebecca Fannin, Startup Asia is the essential guide for anyone looking to trek into this new frontier.

"On My Own" could be a good read for someone who has experienced the loss of a spouse or loved one and is struggling to find their way forward. This book offers a deeply personal and moving account of how the author coped with the loss of her husband, including the practical and emotional struggles she faced. The author's focus is on her own experiences, but she also includes stories from other recently widowed friends, which can help the reader understand the range of reactions to such a loss. The book is particularly impactful for its coverage of the "right to die" movement, as the author's husband chose to stop taking food, water and medication during his long-drawn illness, sparking a poignant discussion about the right to death. Overall, the book is practical, inspiring, and a beacon of hope about the possibilities that remain to us, even as we deal with our own approaching mortality.
