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.

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.

From a childhood marked by loss and longing to an adulthood shaped by the highs of success and the depths of betrayal, Horky's journey is as much a cautionary tale as it is an inspiring comeback story. Raised between two vastly different family legacies-one of wealth and prestige, the other of crime and survival-he struggled to find his place in the world. Without guidance, he chased the allure of power, luxury, and fame, only to learn that true success isn't about the money or the name-drops-it's about resilience, reinvention, and knowing who you are when everything is stripped away. From rubbing shoulders with Michael Jackson during the Thriller era to handling elite security for Hollywood's biggest stars, Horky built an empire, only to see it crumble before his eyes. A federal indictment, financial collapse, and personal struggles nearly took everything from him. But instead of giving up, he fought back, rebuilding his life and career with a newfound understanding of what truly matters. Unbreakable Path is a high-stakes, behind-the-scenes look at the worlds of luxury, celebrity, and survival, proving that setbacks don't define your ability to rise again.

Because meaningful relationships that drive success and enrich our lives depend on our deepest human powers. Powers we already possess. Powers that go beyond digital technology. Powers like empathy, listening, vulnerability, and generosity, which come from being present with our minds, our bodies, and our hearts.We all have these tools. We just need to use them.

Lucky by Design
"Lucky by Design is that rarest of things: an economics PAGE-TURNER." --Lin-Manuel Miranda 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.

Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Research
Multidisciplinary approach in research is very much in vogue these days to address the problems of the society. It involves drawing appropriately from multiple disciplines to explore problems outside the normal boundaries and reach out to solutions addressed through different perspectives. Modern research looks through more multidisciplinary approaches and has dominance of problem solving and project oriented applied research. Multidisciplinary approaches while aiming at achieving a common goal attempts to develop answers to complex questions, which a single discipline is unable to handle. The growing research canon is to apply knowledge of various disciplines for the solution. Since current problems are of complex nature, there is a need to have knowledge of all the aspects such as economic, social, political and psychological. Multi-disciplinary approaches call for collaboration between two or more disciplines on a research project, while each discipline maintaining its assumptions, values, and methods. In other words, each discipline maintains its autonomy while collaborating. Today multidisciplinary approach is considered as the driver of innovation and research to solve real world problems. The book aims to address the current issues and problems and draw the solutions with the help of multidisciplinary approaches.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Public Libraries (Building a Sustainable Knowledge Society)
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India is evolving from a philanthropic endeavour into a strategic business necessity. While historically more active in the private sector, governmental bodies are increasingly participating. Companies now recognize that supporting their workers, local communities, and society at large yields significant business benefits, making this approach gain considerable ground.Numerous corporations and foundations already execute commendable CSR projects in education, health, and the environment. This scope should be expanded to include public libraries. As vital social institutions, libraries provide the fundamental information necessary for citizens' socio-economic and cultural development and sustain lifelong learning.They are crucial hubs for disseminating existing knowledge and fostering the creation of new ideas. By directing CSR initiatives towards public libraries, corporations can invest in the nation's informational infrastructure, empowering citizens and strengthening the very foundation of a knowledge-driven society. This creates a powerful synergy between corporate growth and communal development.
