An Economist's Guide to Saving Time, Making Money, and Living Well

The Best Decisions You'll Ever Make

This book—the first to treat workplace culture like a garden instead of a construction project—offers the proven framework that transforms toxic environments into thriving ecosystems where all talent flourishes. Organizations fail when they treat culture like a construction project. But they thrive when they treat it like a garden, cultivating conditions for growth rather than engineering behavior through rigid blueprints. Award-winning consultant Abi Adamson introduces the SERN framework—Soil, Exposure, Roots, Nourishment—to guide leaders toward sustainable cultural transformation. Through compelling stories from her work redesigning cultures at Spotify, Sony Music, and the Gates Foundation, Adamson shows how to make the following positive changes: <ul><li>Detoxify organizational foundations</li><li>Ensure that diverse perspectives get real influence</li><li>Create authentic belonging</li><li>Distribute resources equitably</li></ul> Organizations using this approach report dramatic improvements in psychological safety, authentic engagement, and the ability to retain diverse talent pools. Unlike traditional culture initiatives focused on compliance and conformity, this framework helps leaders identify toxic environmental conditions, move beyond demographic headcounts to actual inclusion, enable people to contribute authentically, and recognize that equal treatment in unequal systems produces unequal outcomes. Set during a pivotal moment when workplace culture programs are being dismantled or reimagined, this practical guide offers leaders a sustainable alternative—treating culture as a living ecosystem that requires ongoing cultivation rather than a one-time structural fix.

This book, the first to treat workplace culture like a garden instead of a construction project, offers a proven framework that transforms toxic environments into thriving ecosystems where all talent flourishes. Organizations fail when they treat culture like a construction project. They thrive when they treat it like a garden, cultivating conditions for growth rather than engineering behavior through rigid blueprints. Award-winning consultant Abi Adamson introduces the SERN™ framework (Soil, Exposure, Roots, Nutrients) to guide sustainable cultural transformation. Drawing from her experience working with international clients, including Spotify, Sony Music, and Match Group, Abi shows how to do the following: <ul><li>Identify and detoxify the soil poisoning organizational foundations</li><li>Expose who's hoarding the light while others wither in shadows</li><li>Strengthen the root networks where real culture actually lives</li><li>Distribute the nutrients people actually need to thrive (hint: it's not pizza Fridays)</li></ul> Unlike traditional culture initiatives, focused on compliance and conformity, this framework reveals why expensive transformation efforts keep failing and how to spot "nutrient vampires" draining your best people. For C-suite leaders, executives, people managers, and anyone who has ever felt invisible at work, this guide offers a sustainable alternative: treating culture as a living ecosystem requiring ongoing cultivation, not a one-time fix. Because as Abi says, "We bloom together or we wilt alone."™

Nurturing Workplaces Where People Grow

Culture Blooming

Adam Kahane, bestselling author of Collaborating with the Enemy, shows how justice helps families, organizations, communities, and nations repair broken relationships and live together better. A practical guide to using justice as the lever for balancing power and love in a world that is falling apart. We are always falling apart and coming together. In families, workplaces, communities, and nations, people pull back into smaller camps, harden boundaries, or force unity that leaves too many voices unheard. Adam Kahane names the twin traps of combat and subordination and offers a practical way to steer between them: the justice lever. Drawing on thirty-five years of work with divided groups around the world, along with intimate stories from family life and public life, Kahane defines justice as a functional tool. Justice is the container made of rules, norms, agreements, structures, and relationships that allows people to be both separate and together. Readers will learn how to <ul><li>recognize when relationships are slipping into combat or subordination;</li><li>harness power, the drive to realize ourselves;</li><li>harness love, the drive to unite with others;</li><li>construct justice containers that make collaboration and cohabitation possible; and</li><li>repair cracked containers in families, teams, organizations, communities, and public life.</li></ul> Brief and clear, with unforgettable stories from global peace work, climate negotiations, Indigenous health, family life, and organizational repair, this book gives readers a way to start repairing what is cracking right where they are.

Bear's World

This companion title to Natalia Shaloshvili’s award-winning book Bear is a funny and comforting take on how to cope with constant worrying. With a little help from his friend Duck, Bear finds that even when his biggest (cookie-related!) worries do come true, it’s not the end of the world. &nbsp; At first, Bear is happily munching his cookie, until a thought creeps in: what if it’s the last cookie? When this turns out to be true, he sets off for the shops – and his worries mount and mount. He worries about missing the bus . . . and it leaves without him. He worries he’ll get lost . . . and gets lost. By the time he finds the cookie queue, he’s at the very back;¿and his worst worry comes true. The very last cookie goes . . . to Duck!&nbsp; But just when Bear thinks his worst fears have been realised, Duck gently shows him that worries don’t have to end in disaster. By sharing his cookie and reminding Bear that ‘what ifs’ can lead to happy endings too, Duck helps his friend see that things often turn out better than expected.&nbsp; Complete with Natalia Shaloshvili’s expressive, playful illustrations and a story that balances humour with warmth, Bear Worries captures the familiar experience of children (and adults) whose imaginations run away with them. Both entertaining and reassuring, this picture book is the perfect springboard for conversations about anxiety, resilience and friendship.&nbsp; Whether shared at storytime, used in classrooms or given as a thoughtful gift, Bear Worries is an essential addition to every child’s bookshelf. It offers the reminder that no worry is too big when faced together.&nbsp;&nbsp;

We are drowning in choices—from major life decisions like whether to move, marry, or change careers, to relentless daily dilemmas about what to wear, eat, say, or do.

Nell McShane Wulfhart is here to change that. In Decide in an Hour, she tackles the epidemic of indecision head-on and offers readers a lifeline: the tools to make better choices quickly, without feeling guilty, spiraling, or second-guessing. In this book, Wulfhart teaches us how to: <ul><li>identify the decision we’re actually making (a shockingly common obstacle)</li><li>eliminate noise and make the call—fast</li><li>follow through with confidence, even when others disagree</li><li>make the most common major life choices (career, relationships, kids, where to live) through the use of a decision-making field guide</li></ul> Equal parts wise, warm, and no-nonsense, Decide in an Hour offers clarity and momentum for how to start making smart, confident decisions today.

The Handbook for Making Better Decisions Faster

Decide in an Hour

Make better high-stakes decisions in uncertainty by developing the 3 agilities (emotional, cognitive, and navigational) needed to lead when no clear answers exist. Today's leaders face a difficult challenge: They must make high-stakes decisions before they have enough information to know whether those choices will succeed. Organizations operate in a BANI world, one that is brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and increasingly difficult to predict. Yet many leaders continue to make strategic decisions using mental models built for a more stable era. This book reveals why leaders often narrow their options under pressure, mistake activity for impact, and seek certainty when ambiguity demands something different. Executive coach Karin Blair shows that the quality of strategic decisions depends less on what leaders know and more on what they can hold without reacting, oversimplifying, or forcing premature resolution. Through a powerful framework built around 3 interconnected agilities, readers learn how to <ul><li>build emotional agility to stay grounded under pressure,</li><li>develop cognitive agility to hold competing perspectives and challenge assumptions, and</li><li>strengthen navigational agility to sustain commitment when results remain uncertain.</li></ul> Filled with practical leadership insights and real-world examples, this book helps leaders expand their decision field, choose coherence over relief, and create strategies that compound into meaningful long-term impact.

3 Agilities for Strategic Decisions

Capacity Under Pressure

A novel framework for how entrepreneurs can use Bayesian reasoning to make decisions. This edited volume introduces and explores the concept of Bayesian entrepreneurship, a novel framework for understanding entrepreneurial decision-making under uncertainty. It brings together contributions from leading scholars to examine how entrepreneurs form beliefs about opportunities, learn through experimentation, and make strategic decisions. The Bayesian approach emphasizes the critical interaction between an entrepreneur’s prior beliefs and their capacity for learning and experimentation to update those beliefs. This dynamic process allows entrepreneurs to formulate and test theories about value creation and capture, attract resources and capabilities, and implement effective entrepreneurial strategies. The volume is organized around four key themes: <ul><li>the foundations and distinguishing features of Bayesian entrepreneurship </li><li>how entrepreneurs form and update prior beliefs in entrepreneurial decision-making</li><li>the role of experimentation and learning in entrepreneurial strategy</li><li>applications to entrepreneurship education and practice</li></ul> Bayesian Entrepreneurship offers both theoretical contributions advancing our understanding of entrepreneurial decision-making and practical insights for entrepreneurs and educators.

The New York Times Bestseller • Nominated for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year From the long-tenured head of Goldman Sachs, an institution legendary for its culture of success, comes a candid memoir of global leadership in an age of extreme turbulence. "Funny, mainly blunt, unexpectedly vulnerable and rarely apologetic.” —Bloomberg “No one has gotten inside the secret walls of Goldman Sachs and told the story of everything about it, warts and all. Now the man who ran it tells all—and it’s incredible.” —Jim Cramer "Lively and insightful." —The Wall Street Journal When Lloyd Blankfein was attacked as a Wall Street fat cat, he had to smile, thinking of his precarious childhood in the notorious public housing projects of East New York, Brooklyn, and attending a high school so chaotic he didn’t feel safe leaving class to go to the bathroom in his time there. Harvard University was a total moonshot, and his outsider status never wore off, there or at Harvard Law. When he struck people as street-y, it wasn’t Wall Street they were thinking of. But if the chip never quite left Blankfein's shoulder, neither did a wry, resilient spirit and a lucid, democratic intelligence that saw through airs and found talent and ideas in unlikely places. Streetwise is a delightfully honest, sharp and often very funny reckoning with the author’s education—in finance, human nature, and the workings of the world. It abounds with lessons about leading teams of brilliant, aggressive, competitive people and harmonizing them around shared goals; changing when times are hard and when they’re good; managing risk; and knowing a crisis is at hand before it swamps you so you can guide your team to the further shore. Blankfein is famed for his calm hand on Goldman Sachs’s tiller during the global financial crisis, and that story is told in full here, among many other decisive episodes. Suffusing Streetwise is the author’s deep and abiding respect for the partnership culture of Goldman Sachs. We follow the never-ending work to protect and preserve that culture through all sorts of tumult—the challenge behind every other challenge. He is open about when he and the firm got it wrong, which was often enough, but the creative, risk-taking spirit was never snuffed—even as the fail-safes put in place to protect the firm and its clients held when they were needed the most. A powerful blueprint for the wise stewardship of a cause that is larger than yourself, Streetwise will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community and beyond.

A comprehensive look at causality’s theoretical and practical aspects in economics and finance. In Causal Modeling for Finance and Business, Frank Fabozzi and Sergio Focardi offer a foundation for understanding causal relationships and their importance in complex systems. Topics include the theory of graphs, probabilistic frameworks, structural causal models, algorithms for learning causal structures, and the empirical testing of these models. The book emphasizes applying and deploying causal models in real-world business and investment scenarios. However, it also offers a novel theoretical perspective on causal modeling. Fabozzi and Focardi argue that causation is not a law of nature, but a characteristic of causal systems. If we accept the modern idea of causation as manipulability, causal systems are characterized by causal relationships as well as purely descriptive functional relationships. With these arguments in mind, the book addresses a critical gap in understanding and applying causal reasoning in complex systems. While correlations have often been relied upon in data analysis, decision-making in business and economics demands a deeper understanding of causation and functional relationships to drive actionable outcomes. The book’s objective is to provide a comprehensive resource that bridges foundational theories and practical applications of causal models. By integrating recent advancements in artificial intelligence, probabilistic logic, and graph theory, the authors offer a robust framework for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to harness the power of causality in solving intricate problems.
