China’s Megatrends: The 8 Pillars of a New Society
John and Doris Naisbitt, longtime China observers, provide an in-depth study of the fundamental changes in China’s social, political, and economic life, and their impact on the West.
With extraordinary access, and using the same techniques behind John Naisbitt’s international bestseller Megatrends, the Naisbitts have traveled the country, interviewing journalists, entrepreneurs, academics, politicians, artists, dissidents, and expatriates. With the help of twenty-eight staff members of the Naisbitt China Institute in Tianjin, they have monitored local newspapers in all of China’s provinces to identify the evolving perspectives and deep forces underlying China’s transformation. Their research reveals that China is not only undergoing fundamental changes but also creating an entirely new social and economic model—what the Naisbitts call a “vertical democracy”—that is changing the rules of global trade and challenging Western democracy as the only acceptable form of governing.
The Naisbitts have identified 8 pillars as the foundation and drivers of China’s new society:
- Emancipation of the Mind
- Balancing Top-Down and Bottom-Up
- Framing the Forest and Letting the Trees Grow
- Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones
- Artistic and Intellectual Ferment
- Joining the World
- Freedom and Fairness
- From Olympic Medals to Nobel Prizes
Examining each of these 8 pillars in great detail, China’s Megatrends describes the new China for the knowledgeable and the newly curious, offering fresh and provocative insights and lessons to be learned.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Collection – 3 Books (Collection)
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is one of the most recognisable vehicles from children’s books (and films) and this collection brings together Frank Cottrell Boyce’s brilliant three sequels to the original story by Ian Fleming.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again finds the Tooting family finding a vast abandoned engine and fitting it to their campervan. It turns out this engine used to belong to an extraordinary flying car and it wants to be back on the road – and in the air – again as soon as possible. As Chitty tracks down her long-lost bodywork, the family get set for an incredible adventure…
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Race Against Time finds Chitty stuck in reverse – and that means the Tooting family are going on a quest through time. And they’re coming face to face with a terrifying T-rex; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Over the Moon has the Tootings stuck in 1966 and Little Harry and Chitty have both been kidnapped. There’s only one thing they can do – they need to find the Potts – the family that originally built Chitty!

Choose Your Enemies Wisely
**National Bestseller!
What’s the difference between your competitor and your enemy?**
You know who your competitors are. You keep tabs on them regularly, and can list them calmly, along with their strengths and weaknesses.
But your enemies are a whole other matter. They’re the haters and the doubters who said you’d never make it, the ones who stomped on your dreams. When you think about your enemies, you get emotional. You feel like you won’t let anything—or anyone—stop you.
In Choose Your Enemies Wisely, Patrick Bet-David, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, founder of Valuetainment, and host of The PBD Podcast, shows how to harness that emotion to turbocharge your business, dominate this year, and grow for generations after.
But first, you need to choose your enemies wisely.
Bet-David has spent years perfecting the system that led to the knockout success of his own financial services company. Now, Bet-David shares the secret behind this system: his 12 Business Building Blocks, which will teach you how to seamlessly blend emotion and logic in your business plan. Both a practical document for achieving goals and the fuel needed to fire up yourself and your team, this plan goes beyond the “how” and digs deeper into the “why”: not only how you’ll get funding, but why you need long-term vision; why you must build a culture that makes employees want to run through walls; why you have to know the enemy you’re out to prove wrong. Straightforward and simple, the steps in this book will lead you to move the levers that create exponential growth and lasting success.
Read Choose Your Enemies Wisely if you are a visionary, dreamer, and big thinker. Where you are now in your business journey doesn’t matter. By following Bet-David’s plan, you will set up your business for sustainable success and accomplish your most audacious goals.
