Maslow's classics such as Motivation and Personality, Toward a Psychology of Being, and The Farther Reaches of Human Nature, as well as John Bogle's investment books. Its author resources include overseas scholars such as Delbrück, Maslow, and Bogle, with translators including Jiang Haoqian and Liu Yinlong.
