The publication of What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School in 1984 introduced the world to the Mark H. McCormack street smart, nuggets of wisdom offering accessible insights into how to get ahead in the real world of business. McCormack died in 2003, but his legacy and business philosophy live on. Beyond Harvard celebrates his genius with a collection of new street smarts based on interviews with the people who knew, worked with and were influenced by him - colleagues, clients and competitors alike. From advice on managing people and building relationships, through to the best negotiating tips and how to grow a business, a stellar line-up of contributors from the business, media and sporting worlds show us how a brush with McCormack could change forever the way you do business - and live your life. Learn from the outside-the-box thinking that encouraged a nervous Wimbledon committee to sign up to IMG-style merchandising; why it pays to hold your nerve when you reach a negotiating impasse; how the rituals and routines of the sporting world can work in business too, and even how re-using incoming paperclips or keeping 3x5 notecards to hand can contribute to success. Beyond Harvard is both an affectionate testament to the man who invented the sports marketing industry and a worthy successor to the original Harvard book, offering a new generation of street smarts to anyone looking to improve their business understanding and practice.

In the past ten years, we have had many books on health and nutrition simply replicate the themes in "The Zone Diet" by Barry Sears, which changed the way we think about carbohydrate and our health. "Everything They Don't Teach at Harvard Medical School" uncovers exactly and specifically how the molecule we call fat is made in the body in a way a teenager can understand. The support for the design on how fat is made comes not from Okinawa, The French Riviera, or South Beach, but from little known secrets in the animal kingdom. Why didn't any book ever answer how fat was made? It would solve so many problems! Cattle raising has already been the cause of 90% of the South American rainforest destruction. Most low carbohydrate book are sending out the wrong message. This work recaptures the progressive spirit of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring", which launched the environmental movement. "Where have been the breaking discoveries in science and medicine this decade?", the New York Times asks. It has been nearly two decades since "The Zone" illustrated how insulin stores body fat. Unfortunately, caloric theory still remains in every major hospital and medical school. As Mark Twain once wrote, "A lie well-told is hard to kill." "Everything They Don't Teach at Harvard Medical School" solves this controversy. The book is the first to break the fat code, hermetically and decisively, overturning both cholesterol and caloric theories.
