Rise with Purpose. Lead with Resilience. Influence with Integrity

THIS IS A PAPERBACK EDITION FOR THE EXPORT MARKET. From the bestselling author of Rejection Proof, a guide to achieving your goals—the easy way—for anyone who struggles with distractions, disorganization, and discipline. Most people think that because great achievements are difficult, they must also feel difficult. But great accomplishments are rarely achieved through mental toughness. Rather, the most successful people find ways to make hard actions repeatable and enjoyable. Drawing on stories from his own battles with ADHD and procrastination, as well as twelve epic stories from history and pop culture, bestselling author Jia Jiang outlines the four principles of Easy Discipline—Enjoyment, Artistry, Systems, and Yourself—so you can take hard actions on a consistent basis, and love your work in the process. Each principle offers a mindset of Easy Discipline, as well as powerful, practical tools to turn mindset into action. You’ll learn: -How to harness the power of the One Action Goal system—and why it’s the only system you’ll ever need -Why “Changing the Game” can turn dreaded tasks into energizing pursuits -How to curate your media consumption to educate and inspire you toward your goal, the way developers fine-tune AI machines -How to create an “Inspiration Index” that concretely ties your efforts (inputs) to measurable outputs -Why “Repetition with Variation” is the key to success A love letter to ambitious people everywhere who are disorganized, undisciplined, and distracted, Easy Discipline will give you the mindsets and tools to turn flaws into assets, obstacles into stepstones, and dreams into realities. Work can be fun. Focus can be automatic. And success can be easy.

How to Get What You Need from the People in Charge

Managing Up

Mentoring is usually a relationship between two successful, busy people - and that's exactly the challenge.

If you've been asked to mentor, it's almost certainly because you're good at what you do and you genuinely care about helping others grow. Your time is already accounted for, several times over.
If you're coming to this as a mentee, you're probably at one of those moments where everything is about to accelerate - a bigger role, a steeper learning curve, more riding on every decision. You're not short of things to do either.
This is a book for both of you. For mentoring partners who want to make the most of the time they spend together and get a real return on that investment - for themselves and for their businesses.

However, most mentoring relationships are conducted over a series of just a few very precious hours and our research revealted that not many people had received format mentoring training - neither mentors, nor their partners.

So how can you learn to make the very most of that precious time?

Here's our solution. A practical workbook for busy people.

No need to work through these activities start to finish. Just one or two of these science-backed, experience-based, thinking boosts will ensure your time together delivers more in less time.

A partner workbook to Mentoring: It's Not Bloody Rocket Science, the latest book from coaching and training expert and author Dulcie Swanston.

Your boss can shape your career more than you think. The question is-do you know how to manage that relationship?
BossSeBachao: Navigating the Boss Maze is a practical guide to one of the most important-and often most complicated-relationships in professional life: the relationship between an employee and the boss.
Drawing on over three decades of corporate experience, Sunil Das takes readers inside the realities of the workplace-difficult bosses, office politics, communication gaps, changing expectations, missed opportunities, trust, visibility, and the everyday situations that can make or break a career.
Rather than teaching employees how to fight their bosses, BossSeBachao shows them how to understand them.
Through practical insights, relatable situations and lessons from corporate life, readers will discover how to:
¿ Understand what their boss really expects
¿ Communicate with confidence and credibility
¿ Handle difficult bosses and workplace politics
¿ Build trust without becoming a "yes person"
¿ Manage disagreements professionally
¿ Become someone their boss can depend on
¿ Take greater control of their career
Because sometimes, you don't need to change your boss. You need to change how you manage the relationship.
Understand Your Boss. Build Trust. Grow Your Career.

Karen Dobres never expected to fall for football - let alone help revolutionise it. In Pitch Invasion, Karen shares her hilarious and heartfelt journey from someone who 'always zoned out when bloody football was on the telly' to becoming a Director at Lewes FC - the first football club in the world to pay its women and men players equally.In 1994, Karen could barely sit through a match at Wembley. Fast forward to 2023, and she's introducing multi-million-pound deals for the women's team of her local club. How does a trained counsellor and former catwalk model end up navigating the male-dominated world of football? And how did she turn her 'imposter syndrome' into a tool for change?With bisexual pirates, vegan snacks, and even a designated breastfeeding area, Lewes FC is no ordinary football club. It's a pioneering force for equity, inclusion, and innovation. Through Karen's witty, self-deprecating storytelling, Pitch Invasion gives readers an insider's view of the quirky yet revolutionary culture at Lewes FC. From organising Suffragette flash mobs to introducing Prosecco on tap at the stadium, Karen brings to life her experiences at this fan-owned, debt-free, gender-equal club where everyone - from local supporters to pop stars - helps shape the future of the game.From 2017, when women's football was still fighting for recognition, to the present day, Pitch Invasion is the story of how one woman helped lead the charge for gender equality, challenging football's entrenched hegemony, not just for one club, but across the UK.

My story as a woman on a Football Club board – Highly commended at the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Writing Award 2026
