Logic & Language
You can't engineer culture with reason and design.As decisions spread, they're already translated. As ideas land, they're already filtered. As strategies stick, they're already framed.Logic & Language begins where most leadership books stop: with the maps people silently carry. These maps are drawn from bias, story, habit, and half-remembered truths - and they shape every decision and interaction long before leaders present their strategies.In this practical and powerful second volume of NLP Mastery for Leaders, Paul O'Neill shows how culture shifts not through command, but through meaning. Leaders will learn how to: Surface hidden maps with precision questions.Expose the scaffolding beneath assumptions.Frame narratives that invite - not coerce.Reframe perspectives so coherence returns without force.This isn't about clever rhetoric. It's about alignment. Because the challenge isn't what's said. It's how meaning is made.Culture lives between us. It cannot be redesigned. Mostly concealed, it is revealed in language. And through language, it can move in new directions.Paul O'Neill equips leaders to decode complexity and guide systems with insight and precision. He is the author of the Neuro-Resilience Skills series and Adaptive Wisdoms.If you want to lead in complexity, don't start with plans. Start with language.

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.

Rich Family Smart Family
Financial intelligence begins with financial literacy. And Robert Kiyosaki reminds us that "our minds are our greatest assets." Financial literacy gives you the tools to build your personal financial statement... which tells you the story about how you are managing your cash flow. The language of money can be confusing and intimidating. But, like it or not, "money"--in all of its shapes and forms--is a part of our daily lives. And the more we understand money, and the language of money, the more power we have over our future. Words are the most powerful tools you can possess. Challenge yourself--and your family--to master the language of money. The lessons in this book are simple ones and, like those in Rich Dad Poor Dad, they have guided me over the years.

The Marriage-Friendly Prenup
GETTING MARRIED?Thinking About Prenuptial Agreements?For anyone who is getting married, embarking on a prenuptial agreement can often be a distressing and disappointing journey. Sometimes the negotiations irreparably damage the impending marriage and may even cause a couple to break up. People considering prenuptial agreements almost invariably face what seems to be an insurmountable task filled with angst. But it doesn't have to be this way.The Marriage-Friendly Prenup: How to Create a Thoughtful and Caring Prenuptial Agreement contains ideas and methods for future spouses to find common ground and create positive outcomes for each other when formulating a prenup. It provides guidance on how to mitigate the harm often caused by the usual process of getting a prenup. The Marriage-Friendly Prenup provides concepts and tools that will help foster creative and collaborative decision-making and mutual problem-solving. This results in better prenups, ones that that can actually increase marital harmony and goodwill.With a clarity and grace that comes from years of experience helping couples through the pain of divorce, and now, more joyfully, helping couples create healthy prenuptial agreements, Laurie Israel shares her insightful, optimistic, and grounded wisdom on building a strong, healthy marriage, with, or without, a prenup.The Marriage-Friendly Prenup is a must-read for couples at all stages of their relationship. It is also a vital resource for lawyers, financial advisers, couples' therapists, clergy, and friends and family of people who are embarking on prenuptial agreements.The Marriage-Friendly Prenup is not only legally, but financially and emotionally sophisticated, and covers all the most important topics - it is a genuine classic. The book provides solid advice for building a happy life with a new spouse, digs us out of the era of marriage-weakening prenups, and spiritedly charts a new way forward.Laurie Israel's analysis adds humanity and generosity of spirit to the inherently emotionally complex and traditionally purely money-focused process and helps spouses to be the best people they can be. Her approach is based on a simple observation that the dynamics around money are inseparable from other interpersonal dynamics. This means that a poorly negotiated prenup can easily cause so much damage that it becomes a tearful roadmap for divorce. In this accessible, succinct, and surprisingly happy book, the author asks the reader to respect the existing laws on marriage and divorce by understanding them, and not to treat them as "the enemy" but as a guiding template to creating a healthy prenuptial agreement. Laurie Israel capably provides couples with a practical framework for creating agreements that strengthen, rather than weaken, their relationships.

Dirtbag Billionaire
Named one of Financial Times's Best Books of 2025 New York Times reporter and bestselling author David Gelles reveals how Patagonia became a global leader in doing well by doing good and how other companies are adopting its principles. This is the inside story of one of the most extraordinary brands in the corporate world, the rare company that is driven by environmental activism instead of cutthroat capitalism. Founded in 1973, Patagonia has grown into a wildly popular producer of jackets, hats, and fleece vests, with a cultlike following among hardcore alpinists and Wall Street traders alike, posting sales of more than $1 billion a year. But it's not just the clothes that make Patagonia unique. For decades, the company has distinguished itself as a singular beacon for socially responsible business, the rare company that can legitimately claim to be doing its damnedest to make the world a better place, while also making a profit. From its early efforts to take exemplary care of its employees, to its extensive work trying to clean up its supply chain, to its controversial activism, Patagonia has set itself apart from its peers with one unorthodox decision after another, proving that there is another way to do capitalism. At the heart of the story is Patagonia's founder, the legendary rock climber Yvon Chouinard. A perennial outsider who forged one of the most impressive resumes in the outdoor world, Chouinard also established himself as a pivotal figure in the history of American business. Guided by his anti-authoritarian streak and his unwavering commitment to preserving the natural world, Patagonia came to exert a powerful influence on other companies, paving the way for a new era of social and environmental responsibility. He started out as a dirtbag--a term affectionately bestowed on poor, itinerant outdoorsmen so uninterested in material possessions they are happy to sleep in the dirt--and he became a billionaire. Chouinard also proved that there was another way to be a philanthropist. In the twilight of his career, he gave away Patagonia, renouncing his wealth and committing all its future profits to fighting the climate crisis. Drawing on exclusive access to Chouinard and the Patagonia team, Dirtbag Billionaire offers new insights into the key moments that informed their priorities, shaped the company, and sent ripples across the corporate world.

Over Work
"Brigid Schulte is a vital voice on the future of work, and her carefully researched book lights the way to fewer hours, less stress, and more meaning."―Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential, and host of the podcast WorkLife From the New York Times bestselling author of Overwhelmed, a deeply reported exploration of why American work isn't working and how our lives can be made more meaningful Following Overwhelmed, Brigid Schulte's groundbreaking examination of time management and stress, the prizewinning journalist now turns her attention to the greatest culprit in America's quality-of-life crisis: the way our economy and culture conceive of work. Americans across all demographics, industries, and socioeconomic levels report exhaustion, burnout, and the wish for more meaningful lives. This full-system failure in our structure of work affects everything from gender inequality to domestic stability, and it even shortens our lifespans. Drawing on years of research, Schulte traces the arc of our discontent from a time before the 1980s, when work was compatible with well-being and allowed a single earner to support a family, until today, with millions of people working multiple hourly jobs or in white-collar positions where no hours are ever off duty. She casts a wide net in search of solutions, exploring the movement to institute a four-day workweek, introducing Japan's Housewives Brigade--which demands legal protection for family time--and embedding with CEOs who are making the business case for humane conditions. And she demonstrates the power of a collective and creative demand for change, showing that work can be organized in an infinite number of ways that are good for humans and for business. Fiercely argued and vividly told, rich with stories and informed by deep investigation, Over Work lays out a clear vision for ending our punishing grind and reclaiming leisure, joy, and meaning.

Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar
A completely original approach to trading using price bar charts While complex strategies and systems may work for some traders, understanding price action is all you really need to succeed in this arena. Price action analysis is an effective approach to trading today's markets--whether you're involved in stocks, futures, or options. It allows you to focus on the process of trading without being overwhelmed by a complicated collection of trading techniques. And while this method may appear elementary, it can significantly enhance returns as well as minimize downside risk. One way to apply price action analysis to your trading endeavors is with chart patterns. Nobody understands this better than author Al Brooks, a technical analyst for Futures magazine and an independent trader for more than twenty years. Brooks discovered ten years ago that reading price charts without indicators proved to be the most simple, reliable, and profitable way for him to trade. Mastering that discipline is what made him consistently successful in trading. Now, with Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar, Brooks shares his extensive experience on how to read price action. At the end of the day, anyone can look at a chart, whether it is a candle chart for E-mini S&P 500 futures trading or a bar chart for stock trading, and see very clear entry and exit points. But doing this in real time is much more difficult. Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar will help you become proficient in the practice of reading price action--through the use of trendlines and trend channel lines, prior highs and lows, breakouts and failed breakouts, and other tools--and show you how this approach can improve the overall risk-reward ratio of your trades. Written with the serious trader in mind, this reliable resource addresses the essential elements of this discipline, including the importance of understanding every bar on a price chart, why particular patterns are reliable setups for trades, and how to locate entry and exit points as markets are trading in real time. Brooks focuses on five-minute candle charts to illustrate basic principles, but discusses daily and weekly charts as well. Along the way, he also explores intraday swing trades on several stocks and details option purchases based on daily charts--revealing how using price action alone can be the basis for this type of trading. There's no easy way to trade, but if you learn to read price charts, find reliable patterns, and get a feel for the market and time frame that suits your situation, you can make money. While price action trading doesn't require sophisticated software or an abundance of indicators, this straightforward approach can still put you in a better position to profit in almost any market. Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar will show you how.

People Matter at Work
From Me to We: Fostering a Culture Where Everyone Wins When people feel safe, seen, and successful, trust takes root, ownership grows, and generosity flows. When Josh Block left the office on Friday, he was a regional sales representative. By Monday morning, he was president of the company. His unexpected promotion threw him into the deep end of leadership--facing the same challenges many leaders encounter daily: reengaging a disheartened team, restoring trust, and creating a culture where people love to work. In People Matter at Work, Block shares his story of navigating crisis leadership by shifting the focus from individual survival to collective success. He exposes the toxic grip of the Me-Cycle--a self-preserving mindset in which bosses and employees operate in silos and primarily look out for themselves. It's a surefire recipe for disengagement and dysfunction. The antidote? The We-Cycle--a transformational approach powered by leaders who work together, make thoughtful decisions, and lead with transparency. These leaders create cultures where people feel safe, seen, and successful. When leaders embody this mindset and put people first, team members respond in kind--carrying trust, ownership, and generosity. This deepens commitment and fuels a culture where performance shines and everyone wins. With empathy and hard-won insight, Block offers real-world, practical tools for leaders at any level to turn workplaces into communities of shared purpose, growth and belonging. Because leadership isn't just about confidence and competence--it's about cultivating a culture where people thrive. Whether you're an aspiring leader or leading from the top, People Matter at Work shows how the most successful companies build from the inside out--by choosing we over me.
