Success Is a Numbers Game
For fans of James Clear, Nassim Taleb, and Malcolm Gladwell: Stop being someone who could succeed and become someone who predictably should succeed by using a revolutionary "probability hacking" framework to increase your odds of success. Every goal that you're pursuing has two hidden numbers attached to it--a probability of success and a probability of failure. Whether you're trying to start a business, run a marathon, get a promotion, earn a pilot's license, grow a bumper crop of tomatoes, or sign an acting deal, these two percentages are always lurking in the shadows predicting what is going to happen. But most of us never think about them. We assume our odds are unknowable and unchangeable. This dangerous lie leads millions of people to fail at goals where they were perfectly capable of succeeding. You can choose a smarter path. In Success is a Numbers Game, you'll discover: A game-changing new way to diagram a goal and deepen your understanding of how likely you are to achieve it. A five-step framework for hacking your "success diagram" to dramatically improve your odds of getting the outcome you want.A simple test for knowing which of your biggest goals to prioritize and which to quit immediately.An upgraded approach to decision making that illuminates optimal choices by exposing potential futures.Developed by award-winning strategy consultant Kyle Austin Young -- a writer for Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Psychology Today -- this probability hacking framework harnesses tactics that have been battle tested in business, art, education, philanthropy, politics, sports, and more. In the context of a single goal, Young's system could be the secret advantage that changes your outcome. Over the course of several goals, it could transform the trajectory of your career. Applied to a lifetime of goals, it can level up your legacy. Discover the life-changing power of probabilistic thinking through a rich variety of unforgettable stories--starring Abraham Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, a forensic pathologist who's conducted over 20,000 autopsies, and a team of Olympic athletes who changed the course of history. If you're ready to win more, lose less, and wake up with the sturdy confidence that comes from having the odds on your side, Success is a Numbers Game is a must-read.

Uncompete
A timely and transformative new framework for success from a sought-after strategist, speaker, and author The need to compete is deeply ingrained in every aspect of our lives and work. It's often viewed as a positive: we are told it motivates us to do our best, to work hard, that it drives innovation and excellence. But, what if that's a lie? What if in reality, competition causes more harm than good: exhaustion, anxiety, burnout, and an isolating lack of community. It encourages a scarcity mindset and keeps us from reaching our true potential. Drawing on Ruchika's own experiences working with corporations as a sought-after inclusion strategist, as well as interviews from business and community leaders and the latest research data, UNCOMPETE offers a new framework for building a culture of collaboration, solidarity, and mutuality. It's a framework that yields not only a happier workplace, but a far more successful one, and it can transform our work and our lives. From showing us how to tap into our benign envy, to investigate our cultural norms, to cultivate a greater imagination, and rewrite the rules to lift everyone up, UNCOMPETE is a radical reset of our mindsets. It helps us cultivate abundance, find genuine joy in others' victories, and embody the belief that there is room for all of us to succeed.

Lucky by Design
Wharton economist and market designer Judd Kessler pulls back the curtain on hidden markets that determine who gets what in everyday life--and how to tip the scales in your favor. "Who knew cutting-edge economics could be so fun -- and so useful? Witty and entertaining, Lucky by Design is essential reading before your next job hunt, school application, or even dinner reservation." --Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, economist and New York Times bestselling author of Everybody Lies What's the secret to scoring a reservation at a hot new restaurant? When should you enter a lottery to increase your odds of winning? Why did your neighbor's kid get into a nearby preschool while yours didn't? Who gets priority for a life-saving organ donation? These outcomes are not a matter of luck. Instead, they depend on how we navigate hidden markets that arise to decide who gets what when many of us want something and there isn't enough to go around. Every day we play in these markets, yet few of us fully understand how they work. In familiar markets, what we get depends on how much we're willing to pay. Hidden markets do not rely on prices: you can't buy your way in to a better position. Instead, what you receive hinges on the rules by which the market operates, and the choices you make in them. Judd Kessler has spent a career studying and designing these very markets. Now, he reveals the secrets of how they work, and how to maneuver in them. Whether you want to snag a coveted ticket, secure a spot in an oversubscribed college course, get better matches in the dating and job markets, do your fair share of the household chores (but no more), or more efficiently allocate your time and attention, this must-read guide will show you how to get Lucky by Design.
