The Joy of Finding FISH
What if the life you have is already more than enough?Our relentless pursuit of 'more' never seems to reach 'enough'. Rather than joining the line of books trying to change your life, The Joy of Finding FISH offers the belief that the life you have is already enough. The secret to a more fulfilling, inspiring, successful and happy life is the realisation that it is about being those things, rather than chasing them.Filled with strategies to create your purpose, live your values, and pursue your Greatest Imaginable Challenge, The Joy of Finding FISH offers insight and inspiration to grow in a way that is personal to you. Each chapter is rich with stories, swimming through topics such as resilience, embracing courage, celebrating achievements, exploring gratitude, and integrating your life roles in the pursuit of FISH. In the midst of his own personal trauma, Christopher Miller shares his wisdom with deep love and honesty. His words offer hope grounded in reality, and demonstrate the joy that comes from living a life well-lived.

Millennials and Conflict in the Workplace
This book unravels the mysteries and confusion surrounding Millennials. They are now the largest group in the labor force and their presence redefines the workplace for many organizations. Many older workers, who struggle to understand Millennials, often define them by stereotypes rather than their actual attributes. The historical and social events that occurred when Millennials were growing up are reviewed, which can result in traits and values specific to this cohort. The research behind this book explores the conflict styles of Millennials compared to Generation Xers and Baby Boomers - the unique strategies they are likely to use to address conflict in the workplace. This book shares the results of interviews and focus groups providing first-hand accounts from Millennials and non-Millennials about their work interactions. And the results from approximately 11,000 test-takers of the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument provide fascinating findings about generational differences in conflict styles. Millennials grew up with technology at their fingertips and tend to avoid conflict and seek advice from their online support groups. The book will also dig into Millennials' powerful use of social media and how they use it to further their causes. They have a strong desire to know what's happening now and find it difficult to "turn off." This book explores generational differences and finds an increase in unassertive styles in Millennial males. This work shares what Millennials want and value in a workplace and what employers can do to recruit and retain this valuable cohort. Millennials' diversity, political and social engagement, and the implications for the broader society are explored. This research fills an important gap in the research on generational cohorts and conflict management and provides valuable information to scholars and practitioners alike.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Its Impact on Ethics
This book tackles the ethical problems of the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" (4IR) and offers readers an overview of the ethical challenges connected to Artificial Intelligence (AI), encryption and the finance industry. It specifically focuses on the situation of females in these industries, from women lawyers, judges, attorneys-at-law, investors and bankers, to portfolio managers, solicitors and civil servants. As the 4IR is more than "just" a technology-driven transformation, this book is a call to policymakers and business leaders to harness new technologies in order to create a more inclusive, human-centered future. It offers many practical cases of proactive change agents, and offers solutions to the ethical challenges in connection with implementing revolutionary disruptive products that often eliminate the intermediary. In addition, the book addresses sustainable finance in startups. In this context, education, training, agility and life-long learning in financial literacy are some of the key solutions highlighted here. The respective contributors supply a diverse range of perspectives, so as to promote a multi-stakeholder approach.
Conscious Business Ethics
This book will transform your life for the better.The case for business ethics is both settled and urgent; we are within an era of human history in which the most influential organizations on the planet, businesses, must align their goals with principles of human flourishing, ethics, if humanity is going to experience a more ideal future than what we now know. To accomplish this attainable goal, we must realize that business is composed of individuals who must make the conscious choice to pursue a more ideal future. In this revolutionary approach to business ethics, Wade Chumney utilizes his nearly 20 years of experience in the field to synthesizes the ancient wisdom found in Plato's philosophy, the modern findings of positive psychology, and the powerful insights of systems thinking to create a new paradigm for the field. Centered around the consciousness found within each of us, Conscious Business Ethics provides a practical approach that anyone can apply in order to develop the one quality most desired by humanity in any historical era: wisdom.This book can transform your life for the better. The common threads found within all wisdom traditions are distilled into simple, understandable concepts and diagrams that make practical application accessible to anyone.

The Confidence Myth
Not only do we need more female leaders at the top, but we need more women at all levels of business, government, and nonprofits to step up - there's no time to waste. The problem, says Helene Lerner, isn't so much that women lack confidence but that they misunderstand what confidence really is. True confidence isn't fearlessness; it's having the courage to jump in even when your knees are shaking. Any woman who waits until she feels 100 percent confident before offering a big idea or asking for a raise or promotion will never get anywhere. Drawing on her own and other female leaders' experiences, as well as on her survey of over 500 working women, Lerner lays out practical strategies for beating this confidence myth and overcoming obstacles like gender bias. The book features dozens of Confidence Sparks, simple but powerful exercises and techniques that can catapult anyone's career to the next level.
The Mood Elevator
The Mood Elevator Take Charge of Your Feelings, Become a Better You We all ride the Mood Elevator up and down every day. How well we do it impacts our relationship, our personal effectiveness, our career and our experience of life. Most people take that ride for granted and don't think it can be influenced. But what if we knew the right buttons to push to move to the top of the Mood Elevator. Wouldn't it be useful if there were proven ways to make visits to the lower floors less frequent and less intense? In this very practical guide, Larry Senn provides an operating manual to keep you out of the emotional basement. He shows how to recognize when you've become so accustomed to being stuck on a lower floor-depressed, stressed, anxious, judgmental-you don't even realize it and what to do to interrupt those negative thought patterns and start going up again. He urges us to cultivate mental attitudes like curiosity and gratitude that will keep us on the higher floors and explains how to quiet the mind and nurture positive thoughts without succumbing to Pollyannaish denial. And as someone who took up triathalons at the age of seventy, he speaks from experience when he emphasizes the inseparable connection between physical health and mental health. Through Senn's decades of work as a consultant, the Mood Elevator has been enthusiastically embraced by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. It symbolizes our moment-to-moment experience of life, encompassing a wide range of feelings. Together, these emotions play a major role in defining the quality of our lives and relationships and our effectiveness on the job. By sharing his work with a wider audience, Senn hopes to help all of us live life at our best.
Power Through Partnership
Betsy Polk and Maggie Chotas have learned something powerful: when women work together they discover a level of support, flexibility, confidence, accountability, and freedom to be themselves that they rarely find in other work relationships.

This groundbreaking book shows that when women team up - combining complementary skills, channeling their egos into the partnership, and encouraging each other - they can work as full equals to achieve something that's exponentially greater than each woman alone.

What Economists Should Do
There is controversy among economists over just what it is that economists should do.The controversy is centered on the question whether what is called "neoclassical" or "mainstream" economics provides the appropriate template for performing economic analysis. Neoclassical economics is based on the principle that economic behavior is guided by "rational choice," i.e., choice based on reason rather than sentiment.Challenges to this principle come from several fields of study: behavioral economics, neuroeconomics, Austrian economics, Keynesian economics, and others. A common thread running through these fields is that the rational choice assumption is unrealistic and therefore not useful for analyzing economic policy choices.It is important, however, to distinguish between economic policy choices, which are frequently irrational, and how individuals are observed to react to these choices. Examples of irrational policy choices are minimum wage laws, buy-American rules, and corporate tax increases. The job of the economist is to play a role akin to that of preachers, in exposing such choices for their irrationality. Mainstream economics shows that people react to these choices in a manner that impairs the performance of the economy.

On the Private and Public Virtues of an Honorable Entrepreneur
Alexis de Tocqueville's writings on honor, and his observation that a democracy's definition of honor "stands for the peculiar individual character of that nation before the world," provide inspiration for an ideal entrepreneurial innovator discussed in this book. Beginning with Aristotle, contributions of the giants of moral, political, and economic thinking are aggregated in a Credo for honorable entrepreneurs who are dedicated to freedom and general human flourishing. The Credo's maxims and duties can help entrepreneurs prevent a separation of the honorable and the useful, which is a moral challenge faced by many leaders in all parts of society. Like-minded individuals who share this vision can rebalance power and repair America's triune social order, while creating wealth and a surplus that can benefit the poorest among us.

Magic
Magic: A Treatise on Natural Occultism (1929) is a short work by author, mystic, and lecturer Manly P. Hall. By exploring the differences between black and white magic, this book seeks to guide fellow occultists away from those practices which damage the spirit and lead to the loss of the soul. Born in Canada, Manly P. Hall (b. 1901, d. 1990) was drawn into the world of mysticism when he moved to Los Angeles at age 18. He quickly began to preach and lecture at the Church of the People. Soon, he was leading the evangelical congregation as its minister. This began a long career that spanned thousands of lectures, often well-attended affairs that received local coverage in the Los Angeles Times. His growing notoriety caught the attention of a wealthy woman named Carolyn Lloyd, who became Hall's patron. Through her support, he was able to travel the world, seeking education and wisdom from diverse cultures and acquiring rare books of philosophy and mysticism. As the author of over 150 books, pamphlets, essays, and countless articles, Hall shared what he had learned in his readings and extensive travels. Through his lectures and writings-particularly 1928's The Secret Teaching of All Ages, Hall became a well-known philosopher and expert on mysticism and occultism. He channeled some of this fame and wealth into the creation of the Philosophical Research Society, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit learning center and book collection centered on metaphysics, religion, and the occult. Founded in 1934, the PRS is still in operation today. Magic: A Treatise on Natural Occultism explores the differences between black magic and white magic-how they are practiced, the justifications behind both, and the inevitable results of each. "Motive is the key to the problem of Magic," he explains. "Even the greatest of White Magicians can become a degenerate in an instant if his motive becomes unworthy. The White Magician serves humanity; the Black Magician seeks to serve himself." This ulterior motive leads the Black Magician into selfish and destructive behaviors, rather than the wise and learned actions of the White Magician who seeks only to do good.Through his description of black and white magic, Hall explores the very nature of good and evil. He argues against the personification of "natural principles." In his view, the Devil is not a person at all, but a natural occurrence, comprised of all manner of sins. He is "...the spirit of perversion or negation, the created principle of misuse." As an abuser of magic, the Black Magician can indeed be said to serve "the two great demons of creation"-Satan (Saturn) and Lucifer (Mars). But the White Magician, free of selfish desire, "consecrates his life to study, meditation, and service....He molds himself into the Plan, becoming part of the divine rhythm by sacrificing himself and his wishes to the will of the Infinite, asking only to know wherein his duty lies and how he may be of the greatest service to the greatest number."In Part Three of the work, titled The Mechanics of Magic, Hall explains the creation of the universe from the occult perspective. He breaks down the concepts of reincarnation, human consciousness, and the laws of nature, drawing on theology and philosophy from Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, ancient Tibet, Greece, Rome, Egypt, and more. Through the writings of Manly P. Hall, students of mysticism and the occult find both a guide to the natural world and instruction in how to navigate it.

Organising Responses to Climate Change
Climate change is the most important issue now facing humanity. As global temperatures increase, floods, fires and storms are becoming both more intense and frequent. People are suffering. And yet, emissions continue to rise. This book unpacks the activities of the key actors which have organised past and present climate responses - specifically, corporations, governments, and civil society organisations. Analysing three elements of climate change - mitigation, adaptation and suffering - the authors show how exponential growth of the capitalist system has allowed the fossil fuel industry to maintain its dominance. However, this hegemonic position is now coming under threat as new and innovative social movements have emerged, including the fossil fuel divestment movement, Fridays for Future, Extinction Rebellion and others. In exposing the inadequacies of current climate policies and pointing to the possibilities of new social and economic systems, this book highlights how the worst impacts of climate change can be avoided.
