The Power to Change
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE, BUT KNOWING WHERE YOU WANT TO GO IS NOT ENOUGH. YOU ALSO NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET THERE. The Power to Change shows how to use Stoic principles to create a successful life and provides a clear road map and directions to get there. It will guide you in designing a life that flows well and dealing with problems that arise in everyday living. More than two thousand years ago, a group of philosophers known as the Stoics analyzed life's predicaments and came up with simple solutions. The principles they identified were so profound that they formed the basis of many major modern psychotherapies. They are easy to use and powerful, and they can be applied to modern life and its problems. Often we don't pay much attention to simple principles because we don't believe simple things can be effective, but when understood and consistently practiced, simple principles can have a profound effect on our lives. The problems are real. The solutions are accessible. Each chapter in The Power to Change is bite-sized and actionable, focusing on common, day-to-day challenges - from anxiety, self-sabotage and overthinking to resilience, habits and productivity - and giving you easy-to-apply tools to overcome them. Practicing them is not difficult. But practicing consistently is where most of us fail. The Power to Change is packed with tools and exercises to help you practice consistently, bypass every motivational plateau and reach the big payoff.

A Midlifer’s Guide to Content Creation and Profit
"A midlifer's guide to content creation and profit is both counterintuitive and logical. At a time when the concept of the individual as a 'brand' waxes stronger, there is also alongside the sense that the older generation should fade away to make room for the new and more savvy. This book challenges the idea of being put out to pasture with encouraging evidence, that aided with technology, there is no best before date for meaningful content and cultural production." - Ayisha Osori is the author of Love Does Not Win Elections. "This book is a wealth of insights, a robust roadmap for midlifers aiming to flourish in a complex digital age. Its blend of honest reflections, expert interviews and captivating life stories offers compelling and inspiring proof that the digital age is not the exclusive domain of any age group but a space where all demographics can ideate, execute and thrive." - Adeyeye Joseph is managing director/editor-in-chief of The PUNCH. "Finally, a book to bridge the great tech divide between older and newer generations and open the minds of midlifers to the borderless possibilities surrounding them in the new world. This is a fascinating and engaging work from the peerless teacher who practises what he preaches." - Simon Kolawole is an author and the founder of TheCable newspaper.

Junctures in Women's Leadership: Media and Journalism
The news industry is still dominated by men. Yet women have exercised leadership in journalism and related media professions in a variety of ways, from moral leadership to experimenting with structural and technological innovations and pioneering new formats to serve new audiences. This book offers a robust account of women's leadership in journalism, looking at what motivated women to become media leaders, the obstacles they overcame, and the strategies they used to solve problems and handle crises. This book offers profiles of inspiring women in prominent media positions from the nineteenth century to today, beginning with trailblazers like abolitionist publisher Mary Ann Shadd and Memphis Free Speech anti-lynching editor Ida B. Wells. The book takes an in-depth look at the leadership styles of well-known media moguls like Oprah Winfrey and Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham. Other chapters highlight women now emerging as media leaders, such as digital media executive S. Mitra Kalita and Iman Zawahry, a Muslim hijabi filmmaker. Bringing together cases from print, broadcast, public relations, film, and digital media, this book offers useful insights into how to be an effective leader in an ever-changing industry.
The 55 Minutes
Albert Einstein is credited with saying, "If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend fifty-five minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions." This book is about how to use those metaphorical first fifty-five minutes wisely. If we want to be successful when we innovate, act, or try to "change the system," we need to get serious about understanding the problem. But problems don't exist in a vacuum. They are enmeshed and ensnared in complexity. Moreover, the kinds of problems we face in our workplaces, institutions, and society at large are the results of systems. Unfortunately, the world that most of us inhabit is focused on those last five minutes-rushing headlong toward a "solution" without having understood the problem. This happens in virtually every industry, organization, and sector of society. It's one of the reasons most new businesses fail, most public policies are reactive, and "innovation" (whether commercial or social) spends far too much time in the unicorn-seeking land of hackathons, design sprints, and slick pitches, where confident answers make poor substitutes for authentic understanding. We work in "solutions-driven" companies, we expect governments to deliver rapid fixes, and we ask schools to teach and test for the "right" answers, instead of asking new and better questions. This book is an "atlas," an expansive compendium of foundational practices, concepts, frameworks, and tools for mapping and navigating systems. It will help you ask better questions and see deeper forces beneath the problems and symptoms visible on the surface. To those who lament that "the system is broken," "the system is rigged," or "it's a systemic problem," this is a guide to understanding those systems and hopefully feeling less helpless, alienated, and confused. The world is not linear, binary, or static. It is rich with complex systems, and it is changing rapidly and radically. But in order to keep up, we need to slow down and think. Set your watch to The 55 Minutes-your compass amid complexity.

The Dark Pattern
From the creators of the theory of ethical blindness comes an investigation into how corporate scandals happen, revealing the common pattern behind them and how your organization can avoid them Too often, the stories of corporate scandals are narrated like Hollywood movies in which once-celebrated CEOs are unmasked as sociopaths and ultimately convicted for their crimes. What we fail to realize, however, is that most bad things are done by average people with honorable values and without bad intentions. In The Dark Pattern, two experts in business ethics and decision-making challenge the conventional view that corporate misconduct happens because of a handful of bad actors. Instead, the book shows how entire organizations can fall off the moral cliff because good people become ethically blind. Drawing on the latest insights from behavioral science, the authors identify nine toxic elements that lead to corporate scandals and offer nine actionable lessons for building morally resilient organizations. Essential reading for business leaders, The Dark Pattern offers real-world guidance for defending companies against the subtle dynamics of moral erosion.

Conflicts and Conflict Management in Intentional Communities
Intentional communities combine complex economic organizations with member-run governance. As in any human organization, conflicts arise--whether between members, officials, or external entities. These communities seek to manage disputes locally, often avoiding formal mechanisms like state courts. Many rely on bylaws and committees, adjusting their conflict-resolution strategies over time. Strategic decisions often require broad consensus, pushing members to refine their approaches to agreement. This volume explores how various intentional communities--such as kibbutzim, eco-villages, and cooperative housing--navigate internal and external conflicts. The book contains both theoretical analysis and research articles written specifically for this volume, alongside innovative practical methods developed and tested to resolve conflicts that arise in intentional communities.

Bonnie Hammer's legendary career spans five decades in a turbulent, male-driven industry. Today, Bonnie is a powerful leader at the very top of her field, and women at all levels constantly ask her: What is your secret to success? Her power--and her staying power--comes from rejecting common myths about how women are "supposed" to act in the workplace. She knows that the traditional wisdom women are told about work--pithy phrases like "don't mix work with play," "talk is cheap," "follow your dreams," "know your worth," "trust your gut," and "you can have it all"--hold women back. Having risen from an entry-level production assistant whose chief charge was a dog, to a transformative, top executive at NBCUniversal, Bonnie challenges conventional workplace wisdom and shares the un-common sense women need to succeed. Bonnie has mentored countless women in every industry. She's known for telling the uncensored and uncompromising truth--even when it isn't easy to hear. Now, she gives you her private master class--replacing the lies women have been fed about work with her unique wisdom. You will learn powerful new truths and easily digestible, practical advice to apply in your own life. Written with humor and heart, and full of insights and research, 15 Lies Women Are Told at Work is an "honest, unfiltered guidebook...a must-read for any woman at any stage in her career" (Chelsea Clinton). It doesn't just explain one woman's rise to the top in a tough industry; it shows how any woman can rise as high as she wants in her own work world.
