The ADHD Marketer
You've been told your ADHD is a problem to manage. Medication, systems, therapy, planners with color-coded tabs you abandoned by Wednesday. Productivity gurus selling you morning routines designed by people who've never lost forty-five minutes staring at a cursor because the office was too loud and the deadline was tomorrow. Nobody told you the truth: the same brain making it hard to sit through a budget meeting is the reason you spotted a market opportunity three competitors missed entirely.The ADHD Marketer is for the marketing professional who thinks in seventeen directions at once, hyperfocuses on a campaign until it's brilliant, then forgets to send the invoice. It is not a book about coping. It is a book about competing (and winning) with the brain you actually have.Richard Lowe didn't learn marketing in a classroom. He learned it the hard way, building a freelance writing career and a publishing business that now spans more than 100 books, while figuring out how to stop losing clients to disorganization and start closing them with ideas nobody else was generating. He is not a therapist or a psychologist. He is a guy with ADHD who had to figure out how to market himself, his services, and his work. He kept detailed notes on what actually worked.This book is that education, compressed into short, direct chapters you can read in one sitting and apply the same day. You'll learn how to set up a workspace that works with your attention span instead of fighting it. How to turn hyperfocus into a billable asset. How to pitch clients when your brain won't stop generating tangents and how to close them when it finally lands on the right one. How to manage deadlines without white-knuckling through every hour. How to handle the clients who drain you and build relationships with the ones who don't. How to take your career from survival mode to something that actually fits who you are.The book covers freelance, agency, and in-house marketing roles. It covers the practical: workspace, time management, client communication, career development, without padding it with theory that sounds good and does nothing. Every strategy is field-tested. There is no psychobabble, no advice recycled from neurotypical productivity books with an ADHD sticker slapped on the cover, and no suggestion that the goal is to fix yourself.You do not need to be fixed. You need a different approach. That is what this book delivers.If your brain works differently, your marketing career doesn't have to suffer for it. It can be better because of it.

Empathx

It is positioned for sustained backlist performance in business collections serving corporate, university, and public library audiences.The deal is decided before the pitch begins.
Focus on LinkedIn
LinkedIn has a billion members. Most of them are doing it wrong.They copied their resume into their profile, added a headshot from three years ago, and called it done. They post sporadically, connect randomly, and wonder why nothing happens. Then they conclude LinkedIn doesn't work and go back to whatever they were doing before.LinkedIn works. The problem is that almost nobody uses it strategically.Focus on LinkedIn is the comprehensive guide to using LinkedIn the right way - from building a profile that actually generates leads to understanding why your account got restricted and how to get it back. Written by Richard Lowe, a former Senior LinkedIn Branding Expert who optimized hundreds of executive profiles and has built his own ghostwriting business almost entirely through the platform, this book covers the territory most LinkedIn guides skip entirely.You'll learn how LinkedIn's algorithm actually works and why posting every day is working against you. You'll understand why commenting beats posting, why your profile is more powerful than any content you'll ever create, and why a network of 500 targeted connections is worth more than 5,000 random ones. You'll get the honest truth about Sales Navigator, LinkedIn Live, hashtags, and newsletters - what works, what doesn't, and what the platform wants you to believe.The book also covers the territory other LinkedIn books won't touch: sophisticated scams targeting professionals, platform enforcement actions and how to survive them, crisis management when your reputation takes a hit, and a full chapter on what it's actually like to use LinkedIn with a neurodivergent brain.Whether you're job hunting, building a business, establishing thought leadership, or just trying to stop being invisible on the platform, Focus on LinkedIn gives you the strategy, the tactics, and the honest perspective you need to make it work.This is the updated and substantially expanded edition of the 2016 bestseller that sold 15,000 copies in three days and reached #43 in all Kindle rankings.

Unmapping Customer Journeys
Traditional customer journey maps miss the truth of human experience - the emotions, influences, and sudden shifts that shape how people engage with brands. CX is not about controlling the journey. It's about learning to travel with your customers through every twist, loop, and leap. Unmapping Customer Journeys introduces the 4L Framework, a revolutionary approach to understanding how customers actually move through experiences shaped by emotions, AI, neuroscience, and offstage triggers. This practical guide reveals four critical dimensions: Layers (emotional and contextual depths), Lanes (parallel paths of influence), Loops (cyclical validation behaviors), and Liminals (threshold moments of transformation). Through vivid metaphors, templates, exercises, and case studies spanning banking to SaaS, the book teaches you to map choremotion (the rhythm of feelings and actions), detect driftprints (invisible behavioral imprints), and integrate AI for adaptive, empathy-driven designs. It explores the neural drivers of choice, how AI compresses decision-making, and the complete framework for moving your organization from linear to multidimensional customer understanding. Unmapping Customer Journeys equips organizations to build human-centered journeys that grow with changing behaviors by empowering CX leaders to design adaptive systems that thrive on empathy and the depth of human complexity.

Driven to Build, Guided by Values
Peter Finn was always a little different. As a high school senior, he became an ethical vegetarian, took up meditation, and immersed himself in Eastern religions; later, as a long-haired student at Brown University, he fell for a beautiful classmate named Sarah, and the two began dreaming of creating an organic, green-energy farm. Then, as a rising executive in his family's public relations business, Peter began stirring up controversy by advocating an entrepreneurial leadership style and growth through acquisitions that would also require decentralized control. It became increasingly clear that, somehow, Peter Finn would end up forging a life path all his own.In the end, Peter shattered expectations not once but twice. First, in 1998, having fallen in love with rural Hunter, New York, Peter and Sarah (now his wife) launched the Catskill Mountain Foundation with the dream of using arts programs-drama, music, dance, movies, and more-to spark economic and social revitalization throughout the region. They started on a shoestring, but over time, through improvisation and daring, sometimes "crazy" opportunism, they forged partnerships with talented people and groups to build one of the most vibrant artistic hubs in the Northeast.Second, late in 2011, Peter took an even riskier plunge into the unknown. With a handful of like-minded colleagues, he negotiated a separation from the family company to launch a new PR agency built on values ranging from "Work hard and play nice" and "Create a best-place-to-work environment" to "Commit to diversity" and "Make a difference in the world." Today, having won a host of industry awards and honors, FINN Partners has grown to embrace 35 offices with 1,300 employees around the world.Driven to Build, Guided by Values tells the parallel stories of these two unique organizations, operating in very different spheres yet shaped by the same core beliefs. Leaders in every field will discover valuable lessons about how to build organizations for lasting success in the dramatic, colorful stories that fill the pages of Driven to Build.

Speak Shopper or Get Shelved
AI is transforming the consumer goods and retail industry faster than anyone predicted. Pricing engines, automated planograms, predictive analytics: the tasks that once defined a commercial career are being absorbed by machines. The question every sales professional must now answer is not what they know, but what they choose to do with what they know.That choice has a name. Intent.Speak Shopper or Get Shelved is the first book to codify the one capability that separates the professionals who will thrive in the age of AI from those who will be replaced. Drawing on more than 25 years across P&G, Accenture, Kantar and 50+ countries, Ankur Shiv Bhandari introduces Route to Shopper(R) a 79 kata methodology spanning brand strategy (GUIDE) and retail execution (PATHS) that turns intent from an instinct into a discipline.The book exposes the industry's uncomfortable truth: global organisations spend more than $350 billion annually on training, yet the vast majority of it fails to create lasting behavioural change. It then provides the system to fix it. Intentonomics(R), the philosophy of intent activation. The O.R.B.I.T Principle(TM), the engine that sustains it. The Bushido of Commerce, the professional code that governs it. And the Shopurai(TM) mastery system, a progressive belt journey from Peach to Purple that gives commercial professionals something the industry has never had: a visible, credentialed path from competence to excellence.This is not another book about surviving AI. This is the book about what AI cannot do. It cannot choose to serve the person standing at the shelf. It cannot form intent. It cannot build relationships grounded in genuine shopper understanding. Those capabilities belong to the human being. But only if that human being chooses to develop them.For sales professionals, category managers, commercial directors, and anyone whose career depends on understanding what shoppers actually do, this book is the career playbook the industry has been missing.Foreword by Wayne Levings, CEO Kantar Americas and Global Chief Client Officer, Kantar.
Lifecycle of Nations
In a world fractured by tariff wars, rising protectionism, and geopolitical rivalry, Steve Jones offers something different: a structured framework for understanding how economies truly evolve, and how nations can grow together rather than apart.In The Lifecycle of Nations, Jones introduces a five-stage Maturity Model for Economies and Markets, from nascent, resource-dependent nations to post-industrial, innovation-led consumer economies. Drawing on economic history, modern case studies, and the defining lessons of the 20th century, he argues that countries do not rise randomly. They progress through identifiable stages, each with distinct pressures, trade dynamics, and strategic responsibilities.Readers will see how collaborative trade built prosperity after World War II, and how protectionism repeatedly undermines it. From Adam Smith and David Ricardo to the repeal of the Corn Laws, from the Smoot-Hawley Tariff to President Reagan's warnings against trade wars, history provides unmistakable evidence: nations prosper most when they specialize, exchange, and respect comparative advantage.Through case studies of China, the United States, Germany, India, Vietnam and others, Jones maps where countries sit today, and why the language of "reciprocal tariffs" must give way to a deeper understanding of "reciprocal needs."More than theory, this book serves as a diagnostic tool for policymakers, investors, business leaders, scholars, and engaged citizens seeking clarity in a fractured, multi-nodal global order.The global economy functions best not when nations compete to win alone, but when they recognize that prosperity is shared.The Lifecycle of Nations is both a map and a mirror for the 21st century.BONUS Readers also receive access to a complimentary mini-book, Churchill's Leadership Lessons from American Presidents, distilling five timeless principles Churchill drew from Washington, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Truman - leadership insights that shaped Allied victory, built the post-war world order and remain urgently relevant today.

Minimalistic Consumer Behavior
In developed countries people still place great emphasis on materialistic possessions for a happy life; however, many possessions produce tension and lead to burden. As a result, an anti-consumption movement has emerged that embraces the notion of a minimalistic lifestyle. This book combines research, personal insights, and real-world examples to explore the motivations behind minimalist choices and their impact on individuals, communities, and the environment. It examines how consumer behavior is influenced by cultural, economic, and psychological factors, and how adopting minimalist principles can foster well-being and sustainability. The authors also address voluntary simplicity, sustainable marketing, and discuss the implications of minimalistic consumer behavior for achieving SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production. In addition to a theoretical examination for scholars, researchers, and academics, this book provides guidelines for marketing practitioners seeking to engage ethically with increasingly conscious consumers and to design value propositions consistent with minimalist and sustainable principles.
Lifecycle of Nations
In a world fractured by tariff wars, rising protectionism, and geopolitical rivalry, Steve Jones offers something different: a structured framework for understanding how economies truly evolve, and how nations can grow together rather than apart.In The Lifecycle of Nations, Jones introduces a five-stage Maturity Model for Economies and Markets, from nascent, resource-dependent nations to post-industrial, innovation-led consumer economies. Drawing on economic history, modern case studies, and the defining lessons of the 20th century, he argues that countries do not rise randomly. They progress through identifiable stages, each with distinct pressures, trade dynamics, and strategic responsibilities.Readers will see how collaborative trade built prosperity after World War II, and how protectionism repeatedly undermines it. From Adam Smith and David Ricardo to the repeal of the Corn Laws, from the Smoot-Hawley Tariff to President Reagan's warnings against trade wars, history provides unmistakable evidence: nations prosper most when they specialize, exchange, and respect comparative advantage.Through case studies of China, the United States, Germany, India, Vietnam and others, Jones maps where countries sit today, and why the language of "reciprocal tariffs" must give way to a deeper understanding of "reciprocal needs."More than theory, this book serves as a diagnostic tool for policymakers, investors, business leaders, scholars, and engaged citizens seeking clarity in a fractured, multi-nodal global order.The global economy functions best not when nations compete to win alone, but when they recognize that prosperity is shared.The Lifecycle of Nations is both a map and a mirror for the 21st century.BONUS Readers also receive access to a complimentary mini-book, Churchill's Leadership Lessons from American Presidents, distilling five timeless principles Churchill drew from Washington, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Truman - leadership insights that shaped Allied victory, built the post-war world order and remain urgently relevant today.
