Welding: Principles and Applications

**This edition will be released in March 2027. If you want to get a copy ahead of then, have a look at our hardback edition, released in May 2026.** 'If you're worried about wasting your life, read this book.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is the most important decision you'll ever make. Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades. So what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like 'follow your passion'. It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones. Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:<ul><li>What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn't involve 'following your passion'.</li><li>How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.</li><li>Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn't among them.</li></ul> It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference. 'This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I've seen.' Cal Newport, author of Deep Work 'A remarkably rigorous guide about how to find that perfect career for you.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Productivity 'Based on evidence and good sense, not platitudes.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of our Nature 'The most informative book you can read if you're stuck trying to make one of life's most important decisions.' Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World

How to Have a Fulfilling Career That Does Good

80,000 Hours

'Si alguien hubiera de leer un solo libro sobre economía, sin duda le recomendaría que fuera la clara, inteligente y notable (además de breve) obra de Andrew Leigh.

The Transformative Power of Creating Community

Flourish

Transform your organization when most change efforts fail. After decades of organizational transformation efforts, the failure rate remains stubbornly high: over 70%. What’s missing? The human element. In Practice Makes Culture, you'll discover why most transformations still fail and how to ensure yours succeeds by addressing what other approaches miss: the emotional dynamics, hidden narratives, and everyday behaviors that truly shape your organization. This practical guide introduces a powerful framework centered on three critical focus areas: - Elephants: Address the emotional aspects of change, recognize diverse perspectives, and tackle difficult conversations that most leaders avoid. - Ownership: Create transformation that people actually want by ensuring those affected by change are the ones steering it. - Practice: Transform meetings into powerful practice fields for cultural change through consistent, daily reinforcement of desired behaviors. Whether you're helping your humans grapple with GenAI (everywhere), helping turn around a business or department, or building a learning organization, you'll learn how to create lasting change that delivers both better business results and happier humans. Filled with practical templates, facilitator guides, and real-world case studies, this book translates cutting-edge research into actionable practices you can implement immediately. Don't settle for another failed transformation. Create a culture where continuous improvement and positive change become organizational habits—where your teams deliver with confidence, quality, and joy

The Importance of Financial Literacy in Promoting Sustainable Livelihood explores the critical role financial literacy plays in empowering individuals and communities, particularly in emerging economies, to achieve sustainable development. With over 1.7 billion people living below the poverty line and lacking access to formal financial systems, this book examines how financial literacy can bridge the gap between financial knowledge and behavior, enabling marginalized populations to benefit from state programs and make informed financial decisions. It challenges conventional definitions of financial literacy and highlights the importance of financial self-efficacy, attitude, and emotional disposition in shaping financial behavior. Drawing on empirical research and policy analysis, the book offers a fresh conceptualization of financial literacy as an operational tool for economic empowerment and sustainable livelihoods. It argues that financial literacy is not merely a theoretical construct but a transformative capability that fosters rational financial decision-making and long-term resilience. Designed for policymakers, educators, and researchers, this publication provides a timely and necessary contribution to the discourse on financial inclusion, offering insights into how financial literacy can be harnessed to promote inclusive growth and sustainable development.
