The Calm CEO
Modern leadership is drowning in noise. Constant emails, endless meetings, and the pressure to always react faster have left executives drained, distracted, and disconnected from what really matters. Yet the leaders who stand out today are not the loudest or busiest-they are the calmest. They cultivate clarity where others spiral into stress, and they make decisions that endure long after the chaos fades. This book redefines leadership by showing why calm leadership is not a luxury but the foundation of lasting success. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, business history, and psychology, it reveals how the most effective leaders harness mindfulness for executives to sharpen judgment, steady their teams, and build cultures of trust. Instead of fueling urgency, you'll discover how to: - Lead high-pressure meetings with presence rather than panic - Manage crises through steady judgment, not frantic reaction - Design a workplace culture calm enough for focus and innovation to thrive - Reclaim mental bandwidth by resisting the myth of constant busyness Whether you are a founder facing uncertainty, a manager juggling competing demands, or a CEO guiding through volatility, this book equips you with a practical playbook for leadership under pressure. Through real-world examples, reflection prompts, and everyday routines, it shows how stillness can become your most powerful strategy. The result is more than reduced stress-it is the emergence of executive presence habits that command trust, inspire loyalty, and deliver stronger results. By the final page, you'll see why in an age of overload, clarity belongs to those who choose calm.
The Fail Fast Playbook
A promising idea dies. The costs remain. What if the story did not end there? This book shows how to turn misses into money-without theatrics, shortcuts, or self-deception. It is a field manual for founders, operators, and creators who want rigorous ways to fail fast playbook their work, extract value from what didn't land, and move again with speed and clarity. Inside, you'll learn how to monetise failed experiments using a simple asset inventory: data that still sells, code you can license, and narratives buyers pay to learn from. You'll practice pivot strategy for startups grounded in evidence, not vibes, and master decision kill criteria so you stop late and start sooner. Practical templates walk you through startup post-mortem template structure, learning per dollar metric dashboards, and pathways to salvage markets for code and data where your "waste" becomes someone else's time saved. You'll also get playbooks for repurposing product ideas, pricing knowledge products, and rebuilding morale without spin. This is for founders who hate burning runway, product leaders tired of zombie projects, creators looking to package what they learned, and investors who want cleaner write-ups and better second acts. If you're ready to recover cash, credibility, and optionality from the work that didn't work, this book gives you the operating system to do it-calmly, repeatedly, and on purpose.
Profit Without Burnout
What if growth didn't have to come at the expense of your health, your relationships, or your sanity? In today's hustle-obsessed world, too many entrepreneurs are told the only way to win is to work harder, longer, and faster. Yet chasing success this way often leads to exhaustion, stalled progress, and eventually burnout. This book flips that script, showing that the smartest path forward is not about grinding harder-it's about building smarter. Packed with clear frameworks and real-world examples, it reveals how sustainable business growth can be achieved through clarity, systems, and design-not endless sacrifice. Instead of drowning in to-do lists, you'll discover how time leverage for entrepreneurs turns limited hours into exponential results. You'll learn why delegation frameworks are not a luxury but a necessity, and how to design workplace culture for small business that scales without draining its leaders. This book is for ambitious founders, business owners, and professionals who want to grow their ventures without becoming consumed by them. It offers practical strategies to: - Prevent founder burnout before it undermines your work and your health - Build systems that let you scale a business without overworking - Use energy, focus, and recovery as capital, not afterthoughts - Align profit with freedom, so you can reduce hours and increase profit By the final page, you'll have a complete mental model for growth that works for the long term.

This isn't just survival-it's the blueprint for thriving in both work and life.
Beyond Billionaires
What if the real future of prosperity isn't locked in boardrooms or billionaire fortunes, but in the everyday systems we build together? Around the world, a quiet revolution is reshaping the economy-from neighborhood credit unions to global B-Corps-proving that wealth can be designed to circulate, not concentrate. This book reveals why the next wave of capitalism is being forged not by titans of industry but by communities, cooperatives, and purpose-driven firms rewriting the rules of ownership. In an age where corporate governance often rewards extraction over fairness, models of stakeholder capitalism and shared ownership show a different path-one that balances profit with resilience, equity, and trust. Through compelling case studies of community banks and credit unions, thriving cooperative business models, and innovative platform cooperatives, readers will see how alternative systems already outperform conventional enterprises in durability and social impact. This book is written for entrepreneurs, leaders, policymakers, and citizens who sense that the current system is reaching its limits-and are searching for credible, practical alternatives. It challenges assumptions about growth, redefines what it means to "win" in business, and equips readers with a fresh framework for evaluating value creation beyond short-term gain. By the end, you'll gain clarity on why inclusive capitalism strategies are not fringe experiments but the blueprint of a more stable and humane economy. You'll learn how ethical business growth is no longer a trade-off, but a competitive advantage-and how to align your choices, investments, and organizations with the powerful momentum of community wealth building. This is not a call to abandon capitalism, but to rewire it-so prosperity can finally be shared, sustained, and scaled.
Beyond Profit
What if the way we measure success is the very thing holding us back? For decades, businesses have been judged by numbers alone-profits, growth charts, quarterly returns. Yet these figures often hide what truly determines resilience: whether teams feel joy in their work, whether leaders act with integrity, and whether organizations are aligned with their deeper purpose. This book introduces a groundbreaking framework for leaders ready to rethink what winning means. It reveals how values-based leadership and workplace culture metrics can be tracked and managed with the same rigor as revenue, creating a second bottom line that drives both financial and human flourishing. Through vivid case studies, research-backed insights, and practical tools, it shows how to design meaningful scoreboards for business ethics and integrity, cultivate organizational alignment, and embed inner metrics for business-such as kindness, presence, and impact-into daily practice. You'll discover how to: - Replace hollow perks with authentic systems that generate measurable joy at work - Use a leadership dashboard for culture that reveals what financial reports miss - Build teams where alignment and trust become long-term assets, not fragile slogans - Adopt the second bottom line performance mindset to future-proof your company Written for entrepreneurs, executives, and anyone shaping culture from within, this book reframes profit as proof of viability-but never the full story. It equips you with the clarity and tools to create organizations where success is measured not just in dollars earned, but in values lived. For leaders seeking a practical yet profound shift, it's both a challenge and a roadmap: the new scoreboard for business in the 21st century.

Privatising Humanity
A powerful expos矇 of how finance turns our basic human needs into assets. We have entered a new era of turbo-charged financial extraction. Having amassed huge reserves, global finance capital is seeking out fresh areas for profitable investments. Virtually all aspects of our lives are now targeted by someone seeking to make a profit. In Privatising humanity, Kate Bayliss shows how wealthy investors, including asset managers, target our essential services. When it comes to investments in these sectors, shareholder profits are funded by us, the end-users and tax-payers who simply wish to meet our basic human needs for water, warmth and shelter. We have no alternative but to pay into these structures that often generate massive returns for investors and dysfunctional systems for society. Unpacking the details of these processes in three sectors in the UK - water, energy and housing - Bayliss exposes the devastating consequences of this model, which is contributing to deepening inequality.

Fortune's Formula
An updated edition of the classic book that introduced the world to the controversial money-making formula known as the Kelly system. In 1956, two Bell Labs scientists discovered the scientific formula for getting rich. One was the mathematician Claude Shannon, neurotic father of our digital age, whose genius is ranked with Einstein's. The other was John L. Kelly Jr., a Texas-born, gun-toting physicist. Together they applied the science of information theory--the basis of computers and the internet--to the problem of making as much money as possible, as fast as possible. Shannon and the MIT mathematician Edward O. Thorp took the "Kelly formula" to Las Vegas. It worked. They realized that there was even more money to be made in the stock market. Thorp used the Kelly system with his phenomenally successful hedge fund, Princeton-Newport Partners. Shannon became a successful investor, too, topping even Warren Buffett's rate of return. Fortune's Formula traces how the Kelly formula sparked controversy even as it made fortunes at racetracks, casinos, and trading desks. It reveals the dark side of this alluring scheme, which is founded on exploiting an insider's edge. Featuring a new preface and sixty pages of new material, this 20th anniversary edition of William Poundstone's classic book is the definitive account of the betting system that forever changed our understanding of risk-taking.
