It is taken for granted in the knowledge economy that companies must employ the most talented performers to compete and succeed. Many firms try to buy stars by luring them away from competitors. But Boris Groysberg shows what an uncertain and disastrous practice this can be.

We spend a great deal of energy pretending to be certain. We sign our names to opinions we have not examined, defend convictions we inherited rather than chose, and treat the absence of doubt as though it were the same thing as the presence of truth. Bertrand Russell spent a long, turbulent, and astonishingly productive life insisting that this is exactly backward—that the honest mind is not the one that has stopped asking questions, but the one that has learned to keep asking them without falling apart. This book is a portrait of that mind.

One Thursday in June of 1904, a middle-aged advertising canvasser named Leopold Bloom walked around Dublin. He bought a kidney for breakfast, fed the cat, attended a funeral, ate a cheese sandwich, dodged a man he did not wish to meet, and came home in the small hours to a wife who had not, that particular afternoon, been entirely faithful. Almost nothing happened. James Joyce spent seven years and seven hundred pages on it, and called the result his damned monster-novel. Why would anyone do that?

En 1957, Boris Vian écrit "L'Abécédaire pour les enfants et pour les usagers du téléphone" : 26 petites histoires drôles et percutantes où chaque lettre est associée à un prénom, A comme Anatole, B comme Berthe, M comme Marcel, Z comme Zoé... Ursula Kubler-Vian confie ces comptines à Lucienne Vernay, qui les met en musique avec de jolies mélodies, faciles à chanter et à mémoriser.

Voltaire n’a pas été l’homme d’un système. Il a été le trouble-fête d’un siècle brillant et faux. Ce qu’il reste de lui n’est pas un modèle à imiter, mais une tension à reprendre : penser sans plaire, contredire sans cesse, et surtout ne jamais devenir ce que l’on dénonce.

Twelve light-years from Earth, a star burns quietly in the constellation of the Whale. It is the nearest solitary star that resembles our Sun—a little older, a little cooler, a little poorer in the heavy elements from which planets are made. For sixty years, astronomers have trained the world’s finest instruments on Tau Ceti, searching for planets, for signals, for signs of life. What they have found is something more unexpected and more instructive: a masterclass in the limits of human knowledge.

We do not see the world as it is. We see only our model of it. For over two millennia, philosophers have described this condition: Plato's shadows on the cave wall, Kant's veil of phenomena, Spinoza's confused imagination. But why are we trapped behind this perceptual barrier? The answer is not metaphysical mystery, but evolutionary necessity. Direct perception works beautifully for bacteria and simple organisms-they respond immediately to the world without models, without prediction, without the illusion of a separate self.

Everyone knows what Isaac Newton did to the universe. He wound it up like a watch, set it ticking, and handed the key to the eighteenth century. It is one of the most durable stories ever told about a human being, and Newton would have found it blasphemous.The clockwork universe was his...

In the spring of 5 BCE, a comet appeared in the constellation Capricornus and remained visible for over seventy days. Chinese court astronomers recorded it in nine characters of classical Chinese. No one else wrote it down. Not the Romans. Not the Greeks. Not Josephus. Not a single astronomer in...

He drew the atom every schoolchild can still sketch from memory, and it was wrong within twelve years. He never wrote an equation that carries his name into a modern textbook. He spoke so softly that colleagues leaned across tables to catch him, and wrote so badly that a Nobel laureate once...

A schoolmaster's son from Saint Petersburg, stranded for life in a provincial German university where nobody important ever visited, sat down in 1873 to answer a question that had been considered improper for two thousand years. How many numbers are there? Not many. Not endlessly many. How many...

Strange worlds. Liminal spaces. Horrors that should not exist. Don't travel at night. If you hear a foghorn, stand perfectly still. An endless black desert. An ocean full of giants. A world where day and night don't follow the rules — and something far worse comes out when the sun disappears...

Nobody wanted him. The mathematicians thought he drew too many pictures. The economists thought he was a mathematician. The physicists thought he was an economist, and the geographers were not entirely sure he was allowed in the building. So Benoit Mandelbrot spent thirty-five years at a...
