Code Collar 2030
You are a knowledge worker. You think for a living. And by 2030, that may no longer be enough.Code Collar 2030 is a thoroughly researched, deeply personal, and unflinching examination of what artificial intelligence is doing to the people who work with their minds - not their hands.Victor Singh spent nine months and 1,500 hours writing this book. A knowledge worker with two decades of experience, an immigrant's perspective, and a front-row seat to Norway's cautious relationship with innovation, he asks the question most people in his position are quietly afraid to ask: What am I worth when a machine can do what I do - faster, cheaper, and without calling in sick?The title says it all. "Code" is what AI fundamentally is - strings of computational logic. "Collar" has always signified labor class: blue-collar, white-collar, pink-collar. Code Collar names the new category that is quietly absorbing them all: work done by, and through, algorithms. The "2030" is not a prediction - it's a deadline.The book is structured in three movements. The first lays the intellectual groundwork: from Gutenberg's printing press to the zettabyte era, through the evolution of AI and the mechanics of prompt engineering. The second shifts inward, to the human side of the equation - the cognitive biases we carry into AI systems, why trust erodes or holds, how Generation Z is rewriting the rules of work, and what job polarization actually looks like from the inside. The third is profession by profession: middle managers, project leaders, lawyers, real estate agents, software engineers, and the wealth managers overseeing Norway's $1.9 trillion sovereign oil fund.Throughout, Singh weaves in his own story - a father who owned a pizza restaurant and whose labor couldn't be outsourced to an algorithm; a son who rents his relevance month by month, certification by certification, billable hour by billable hour. It's a contrast that cuts to the heart of the book: the "working class" hasn't disappeared. It's just wearing a different collar.Singh draws on Schumpeter's creative destruction, Drucker's knowledge worker framework, Kahneman's cognitive biases, and over 500 research papers and articles reviewed during the writing process. He also gives honest attention to Norway's specific vulnerabilities: a country ranked 2nd in global productivity in 2022 that had slipped to 5th by 2024, with a five-year estimated lag in generative AI adoption behind the US, China, and India - all while sitting on one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds and a diminishing appetite for risk.The book closes with a genuine dilemma rather than a tidy resolution. Singh sees three likely futures for knowledge workers: Universal Basic Income, legislated human workforce minimums, or some combination of the two. He isn't sure which he prefers. What he is sure of is that passive acceptance is not a strategy.Code Collar 2030 features a foreword by Maxim Salnikov, AI Apps and Developer Productivity GTM Lead at Microsoft Western Europe, and an afterword by Eirik Norman Hansen, entrepreneur, futurist, and author.This is not a book about technology. It is a book about what it means to be a knowledge worker - and whether that still means something - in the age of intelligent machines.

Talk to Me Nice
USA TODAY BESTSELLER - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Longlisted for the Non-Obvious Book Awards 2025 "A game-changer for workplace dynamics" --Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair PlayThe author of The Memo helps you discover what you need to navigate every workplace communication challenge with confidence. We are living in a world of broken trust, especially in the workplace. Employees have heard too many empty promises and are unmotivated. Managers are scrambling to keep eyes on direct reports in demanding environments. Nobody knows how to talk to one another. Trust is the central pillar of any functioning workplace. But without it too many of us are unhappy, fed up, and ready to walk out the door. Minda Harts knows from years of experience as a highly sought-after workplace consultant how a lack of trust between colleagues, managers, and executive leaders is bad for business and our own professional well-being. That's where the seven workplace trust languages come into play. Earning trust is different for every one of us. Some respond well to verbal affirmations of their contributions, while others need visibility to see how business decisions are made. By understanding the seven languages of trust--transparency, security, demonstration, feedback, acknowledgment, sensitivity, and follow-through--we can all learn to navigate conflict, be more productive, and communicate more effectively. In Talk to Me Nice, you'll learn what workplace trust languages work for you and how to show colleagues, managers, and direct reports that they are valued. When we're talking one another's languages, we can rebuild a more equitable, sustainable, and profitable workplace that works for us all.

The Politics of Migrant Labour
The turnover of labour and its significance for workers and employers has usually been considered at the organizational level as individual exit behaviour, and seldom in relation to the cross-border mobility practices of migrant workers within and without the workplace. Drawing from labour process theory, the autonomy of migration, social reproduction, and industrial relations, this book explores the relationship between labour mobility and international migration under a global and historical perspective. Uncovering both the individual and collective actions by migrants inside and outside worker organizations, the authors develop a new understanding of migrants' everyday mobilities as creative and life-sustaining strategies of social reproduction and labour conflict.

The Trade Gap
Go to college. Find a high-paying job as a knowledge worker. Buy a house in a safe neighborhood and hire good people to maintain it. This is the carrot Americans have chased since the 1980s. But what if it's the wrong goal? What if skilled knowledge work no longer unlocks the American Dream we were promised?A nation of too many thinkers and not enough doers leaves us all vulnerable. Vulnerable to layoffs and economic uncertainty. Vulnerable to crowded job markets. Vulnerable to breakdowns in our homes and our nation's infrastructure.Is this really how we want to live?In The Trade Gap, author Zachary Hanson proposes a balanced approach to education that merges intellectual pursuits with hands-on capabilities. Through self-reliance, deeper skill sets, and a greater emphasis on trade work, we can close the widening skills gap and strengthen our resilience in the process. The future of America is in your hands. How will you help to build it?
Stoic Empathy
What if you could lead with strength and compassion? Negotiate effectively and ethically? Live from rigorous principles and deep connection? Find answers in this radical new paradigm of personal power. "A radical approach to influence rooted in ethical strength. . . . A profound blend of philosophy, personal story, and actionable insights that will inspire readers to lead with both heart and mind." -- Dr. Mike Dow, New York Times best-selling author of The Brain Fog Fix Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like an oxymoron. But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they have the power to change your life. We think of empathy as an emotional stance: we feel what someone else is feeling. In this book, Shermin Kruse offers a radical alternative. She outlines a form of empathy that's based in cognition instead--a way for us to understand what the other person is thinking and feeling while keeping a distance from their emotive state--and shows us how we can strategically maneuver our level of engagement from "emotional empathy" to "cognitive empathy" in all kinds of circumstances. Then she utilizes Stoic philosophy and modern science to explain the mechanics of emotional regulation and control. With this radical perspective shift, Kruse builds a bridge between the rigor of Stoic philosophy and the relational impact of empathy. She gives us the knowledge and discipline we need to: Calmly assess the power dynamics of any situation Understand and manage our own emotions as well as the emotions of othersDefuse danger and turn conflict into connectionSkillfully steer a challenging conversation toward the result we wantWhether you're a leader striving to succeed in your role with integrity, an educator seeking to guide curious minds with compassion, a parent nurturing resilience in your children, or simply facing a personal or professional crossroads, Stoic Empathy is an essential toolkit for negotiating success in every area of your life.

Is stereotyping wrong - or is it a normal part of being human? Why does it stubbornly persist despite our best efforts to discourage it?Challenging the dominant narrative, former journalist Robert Gentle argues that stereotyping isn't a problem to be solved but a reality to be understood.

These include the clothes we wear, the work we do and even the car we drive.Packed with interesting insights and anecdotes, this accessible read brings a fresh way of thinking to a much-misunderstood phenomenon. You'll never look at yourself - or others - in quite the same way again!
