Surrounded by Idiots
Do you ever think you're the only one making any sense? Or tried to reason with your partner with disastrous results? Do long, rambling answers drive you crazy? Or does your colleague's abrasive manner rub you the wrong way? You are not alone. After a disastrous meeting with a highly successful entrepreneur, who was genuinely convinced he was 'surrounded by idiots', communication expert and bestselling author, Thomas Erikson dedicated himself to understanding how people function and why we often struggle to connect with certain types of people. Surrounded by Idiots is an international phenomenon, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide. It offers a simple, yet ground-breaking method for assessing the personalities of people we communicate with - in and out of the office - based on four personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow), and provides insights into how we can adjust the way we speak and share information. Erikson will help you understand yourself better, hone communication and social skills, handle conflict with confidence, improve dynamics with your boss and team, and get the best out of the people you deal with and manage. He also shares simple tricks on body language, improving written communication, advice on when to back away or when to push on, and when to speak up or shut up. Packed with 'aha!' and 'oh no!' moments, Surrounded by Idiots will help you understand and communicate with those around you, even people you currently think are beyond all comprehension. And with a bit of luck you can also be confident that the idiot out there isn't you!

It's a Whole New Ball Game With Creative Financing
I've spent four decades coaching investors in their creative financing and note businesses. Competition has never been stronger in real estate investing, however, there's a portion of real investing you can play that most other investors can't. And it puts you way ahead of the game. Creative Financing!There are three other big challenges that investors face: - The seller won't budge on their price because they're not desperate to sell.- The seller owes too much on his mortgage so he can't take a low price.- There's something weird or unique about the property that will make it hard for you to resell.In this book, I'll explain how creative financing can make these obstacles go away. These techniques help wholesalers double conversion rates on the offers made because we can now control three important factors: - The terms of the sale.- The terms of the loan.- The terms of the agreement.I help people look at real estate through a different lens than just about anyone else. I'm helping smart investors think differently about how they've done things the same way over and over. I show them how to dig deep into the numbers and find money to be made. Most investors don't know this, most investors don't do this. You need to understand all the tools available in the creative financing toolbox and this book can help you get there.

Deals
"An invaluable resource for anyone who wants to understand real-world contracts and deals." --Oliver Hart, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics Drawing on real-life cases from a wide range of industries, two acclaimed experts offer a sophisticated but accessible guide to business deals, designed to maximize value for your side. Business transactions take widely varying forms, from corporate mergers to patent licenses to the signing of an all-star quarterback. Yet every deal shares the same goal, or at least should: to maximize joint value and distribute that value among the parties. Building on decades of experience advising on business deals, Michael Klausner and Guhan Subramanian show how to accomplish this goal through the design of incentives, mitigation of information asymmetries, and attentiveness to parties' rights and obligations. Deals captures the range of real-life transactional complexities with case studies covering Microsoft's acquisition of LinkedIn, a contract dispute between Disney and actor Scarlett Johansson, litigation surrounding LVMH's pandemic-disrupted acquisition of Tiffany, NBC/Viacom's negotiation with Paramount over the final three seasons of Frasier, and many more. Klausner and Subramanian concisely establish the framework of negotiation and the economic concepts underlying value maximization. They show how to tackle challenges such as moral hazard and opportunistic behavior and lay out responses to common risks associated with long-term contracts. Unique in applying economic theory to actual transactions, Deals is an indispensable resource for students and professionals across the business and legal worlds.

This book offers a fresh path: simple, secular practices that transform the everyday office into a place where focus and humanity can thrive side by side. Drawing from psychology, cultural history, and design, it reveals how workplace rituals-from 5-minute meeting check-ins to mindful leadership habits-can bring rhythm and depth back to the modern job.

The Sacred Routine
Most entrepreneurs know how to work harder-but very few know how to work with presence, steadiness, and meaning. This book reveals why the missing ingredient in modern business isn't another tactic or productivity hack, but business rituals that anchor your energy and mindset in the middle of relentless demands. Through practical and thoughtful practices, it shows how simple routines-morning intention setting, gratitude journaling for leaders, or creating energetic boundaries at work-can transform not just your schedule, but the way you experience leadership itself. Instead of treating work and spirituality as separate, it weaves them together into a framework where everyday actions become grounding forces of clarity. You'll learn how to: - Begin each day with focus and purpose through morning intention setting - Use gratitude journaling for leaders to prevent burnout and reframe setbacks - Protect your energy with clear energetic boundaries at work - End your day with powerful closure rituals that free your mind for rest and renewal - Design personal and team routines that create sustainable workplace culture practices Written for entrepreneurs, founders, and leaders seeking more than short-term success, this book speaks to those ready to replace constant busyness with depth, rhythm, and resilience. Whether you are building a company, leading a team, or redefining your own pace of life, you'll discover that meaningful work is not achieved by doing more-but by ritualizing what matters most. By the end, you will hold a practical model for a sacred routine for business-one that brings balance, clarity, and enduring strength to the way you lead, work, and live.

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.

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.
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.
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 Resilience Mindset
When the economy falters, most people react with fear-cutting back, freezing up, and hoping to outlast the storm. But downturns don't just take things away; they reveal new paths for those who know how to think differently. This book offers a fresh blueprint for building resilience during economic downturns, showing how ordinary people can protect themselves, stay calm, and even find opportunity when everything seems uncertain. Instead of focusing only on numbers in a bank account, it reveals why true stability comes from mindset, adaptability, and small but strategic actions that compound over time. Through real-world examples, practical frameworks, and reflection tools, it helps you: - Create diversify income streams with side hustles and skill-building that act as shock absorbers - Strengthen family financial stability by redesigning household roles and conversations about money - Apply risk management for individuals that reduces fragility and increases optionality - Cultivate emotional resilience and money habits that prevent fear-driven mistakes - Recognize undervalued opportunities and thrive in places others overlook This isn't theory-it's a step-by-step approach grounded in history, psychology, and decision science, designed for workers, families, and entrepreneurs alike. Whether you're worried about job security, navigating a shrinking paycheck, or trying to make smart moves in uncertain times, the tools here turn anxiety into clarity. By the final page, you'll hold a clear mental model for thriving in tough economies: one that goes beyond survival to help you design a life less dependent on forecasts and more rooted in calm, confidence, and choice. For anyone asking how to truly become recession proof in personal finance, this book delivers both the mindset and the moves that matter.
The End of the Paycheck
The paycheck was once a symbol of stability. Today, it's one of the greatest risks you can depend on. In a world of layoffs, automation, and economic shocks, tying your entire livelihood to a single employer is no longer security-it's fragility. The path forward is not about chasing endless hustle, but about designing multiple streams of income that provide flexibility, resilience, and control. This book is a practical blueprint for professionals, freelancers, and aspiring investors who sense that the old model of work no longer fits. Instead of vague promises of easy money, it reveals how to strategically combine side income ideas for professionals, freelancing to replace salary, royalties and passive income, and cash flow investing for beginners into a coherent income portfolio strategy. Each stream may start small, but together they create an ecosystem of stability-one that protects you from volatility and opens up new choices in how you live and work. You'll learn why one job is riskier than many, how to avoid the trap of scattered hustles, and how to align your time, skills, and resources into a portfolio that compounds security. Real-world examples and practical exercises make it clear how ordinary people have built resilient financial lives-without gambling on trends or chasing hype. Whether you want to escape the single paycheck, diversify income sources, or build financial resilience for your future, this book offers the clarity and structure you need. It's not about working more, but about designing smarter systems of income that put you back in control of your time, energy, and options. The future belongs to those who stop waiting for one paycheck and start building many.
The Money Mind
Most people think financial freedom comes from earning more-but the truth is that income alone won't break the cycle of stress, overspending, and scarcity. The real driver of your financial life is hidden beneath the surface: the unconscious money patterns you learned in childhood, the emotions tied to your spending, and the habits you repeat without realizing it. This book exposes why smart, hardworking people still struggle with money. It reveals how childhood money scripts shape adult decisions, why emotional spending triggers sabotage your goals, and how cultural pressure to "look successful" keeps you broke. Through psychology, behavioral economics, and real-world examples, it explains the hidden logic behind why saving feels painful, why debt feels safer than change, and why even disciplined people fall into self-sabotage. Written for anyone who's tired of living paycheck to paycheck despite knowing better, this book speaks directly to professionals, entrepreneurs, and everyday readers who sense that the numbers never quite add up. It doesn't offer generic budgeting tips-instead, it provides a clear framework to identify your blind spots, disrupt destructive cycles, and rewire your money habits for lasting freedom. Inside, you'll learn how to: - Recognize the hidden money habits that undermine progress - Break free from unconscious money patterns that keep you stuck - Reframe saving, debt, and spending in ways that align with your values - Replace shame and avoidance with clarity and confidence By the final page, you won't just understand the psychology of saving and spending-you'll have the mental model and practical tools to finally live on your own terms. Your income doesn't define you. Your money mindset does. And once you change it, everything else follows.
Financial Fables
Numbers may explain money, but they rarely change behavior. What truly shapes financial choices are the stories we grow up hearing, the cultural myths we inherit, and the fables we quietly live by. From tales of greed and scarcity to parables of generosity and debt, the narratives around money have more influence on our decisions than any spreadsheet ever could. This book reveals why understanding money stories for adults is the missing key to lasting financial clarity. Instead of formulas and jargon, it uncovers the hidden cultural money myths and everyday parables that govern how we save, spend, risk, and trust. Along the way, you'll discover why even the smartest plans collapse under the weight of old narratives, and how rewriting those stories gives you back control. Designed for thoughtful readers who crave more than quick hacks, it blends psychology, history, and anthropology with timeless fables to bring the psychology of money decisions into sharp focus. Whether you're struggling with debt, chasing security, or trying to make sense of luck and risk, these insights expose the quiet forces behind your financial habits. Inside, you'll learn how to: - Recognize the invisible myths that keep you stuck - Rethink risk and luck through a storytelling approach to finance - Reframe wealth as values, time, and identity-not just numbers - Choose new narratives that support wiser, calmer decisions By the final page, you'll stop asking for another tip or formula and start seeing every choice through a new lens: finance as story. These are financial fables you'll remember long after the numbers fade-guiding you toward steadier, more intentional decisions and a healthier relationship with money.
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. You'll see how to build systems not hustle, protect what matters most, and grow a business that creates wealth without breaking its creator. This isn't just survival-it's the blueprint for thriving in both work and life.
Profit and Principle
What if growing your wealth didn't mean compromising your values? In a world where markets often reward short-term gains at long-term cost, a new approach is rising-one where conscience isn't a liability but an advantage. This book makes the case that aligning your investments with your principles can be the smartest financial decision you ever make. Drawing on history, psychology, and finance, it dismantles the false trade-off between ethics and profit. You'll see how ethical investing protects against hidden risks, why socially responsible investing has outperformed skeptics' predictions, and how ESG investment strategies can create resilience in volatile markets. From the rise of green bonds to the cultural momentum behind conscious capitalism, the evidence is clear: principle and prosperity can compound together. This is not just theory-it's practical. You'll gain frameworks to clarify your own hierarchy of values, build a values-based portfolio, and navigate real dilemmas like whether to divest from imperfect companies or use shareholder influence to demand change. Along the way, case studies and market insights reveal how investors, both large and small, are shaping the future of wealth. Whether you're a seasoned investor, a professional seeking sustainable wealth building, or someone simply unwilling to profit from industries you oppose, this book shows you how finance and ethics can converge. The result is more than financial return-it's the ability to invest with integrity, knowing your capital is not only growing but also contributing to the world you believe in. The new rules of money are clear: investing with conscience isn't a sacrifice. It's the strategy of those building wealth that lasts.
