Design Thinking hoch 3: KI-gestützte Transformation von Entrepreneurship Education

Problem-zu-Prototyp-Modell

“Here is a writer with a rare gift for appreciation and for reminding us of all we have to celebrate in our fractured world.”&nbsp;—Pico Iyer, author of 
The Half Known Life Behind the scenes of a globe-spanning career in freelance journalism Foreword by Tim Cahill A Crooked Line celebrates an age when print journalism changed lives and made the world a better place. That era may be winding down, but this perceptive book makes the case for why incisive writing will always matter. Over the course of his 40-year career, Michael Shapiro has reported from more than 20 countries, writing for National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and many other top publications. But the itinerant writer’s life, while rewarding, has never been easy.
 
Shapiro worked as an investigative reporter and staff writer for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers before letting go of a regular paycheck and setting out to share stories of people and places worldwide. The exhilarations of the open road, “afoot and light-hearted” as Whitman wrote, were tempered by the challenges of freelancing, from making a living to working with heavy-handed editors.
 
His stories put people first: For a feature about Puerto Rico’s recovery after Hurricane Maria, he visited farmers who spoke of shifting from exporting produce to growing food for local people. His profile of a Yosemite photographer, who climbed Half Dome after being diagnosed with cancer, brought the man’s big-hearted humanity to the fore.
 
Shapiro is known as a travel writer, but his work goes far beyond global dispatches. In this book he shares stories of: <ul><li>saving Sunset magazine’s priceless archive of Western life (including photos made by Ansel Adams) after Time Inc. told staffers to toss everything into a dumpster</li><li>an investigation into the U.S. government’s attempt to conceal the circumstances of pro football star and soldier Pat Tillman’s death during the war in Afghanistan</li><li>writing a tribute about environmental hero Jane Goodall just hours after she died</li><li>how the Grateful Dead’s ecstatic songs celebrate the wonders of nature.</li></ul>Renowned for his books of conversations with writers and artists, A Sense of Place and The Creative Spark, Shapiro has interviewed David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Smokey Robinson, Joan Rivers, Frances Mayes and Peter Matthiessen. In this volume, he tells the story of how he convinced a reluctant Paul Theroux to agree to an interview and shares an in-depth dialogue with poet and philosopher David Whyte. A Crooked Line highlights Shapiro’s best journalism and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how he pitched stories and got assignments worldwide. Postscripts detail what happened afterward; some include letters from people he wrote about, sharing what his coverage meant to them. Due to the dramatic changes in the journalistic landscape, a career like Shapiro’s couldn’t begin today. Yet the skills he honed as a journalist—empathetic listening, concise and evocative writing, and a keen sense of what matters—remain as relevant as ever. The tales and insights in A Crooked Line provide a timely affirmation of journalism’s enduring power to illuminate the human experience. This penetrating book reminds us that whatever life path we choose, it’s vital to make it our own.

A sitting CEO's guide to making safety a strategic leadership advantage In A Walk on the Safe Side: Leading with Science in an Uncertain World, Jennifer F. Scanlon, President and CEO of UL Solutions, a leading global safety science organization, states that "innovation without safety is failure." That's what makes safety a critical leadership responsibility-protecting a company's brands, reputation and financial strength. Scanlon shows how leaders can evaluate and address risks amid increasing complexity and fast-paced developments, across AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, supply chains, industrial and consumer products and more. A Walk on the Safe Side offers an insider's perspective from the helm of UL Solutions, the iconic organization descended from Underwriters Laboratories whose century-long legacy of testing and certification has provided assurance and certification for billions of products in the marketplace. Scanlon addresses how potential risks grow more numerous as leaders drive continuous improvement at a scale and pace that determines competitive advantage, providing a framework for safety-first decision-making. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>How to elevate safety from an operational concern to a C-suite strategic imperative that builds trust and competitive advantage</li> <li>Practical approaches for leading through uncertainty by grounding organizational decisions in safety science, transparency, and rigorous standards</li> <li>Strategies for managing emerging risks in AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, and environmental protection </li> <li>Personal and professional insights drawn from Scanlon's two-time tenure as a CEO, leading both USG Corporation's international expansion and UL Solutions' successful 2024 IPO on the NYSE</li> <li>A leadership philosophy that treats safety as the currency of assurance, reflecting the highest responsibility organizations owe their stakeholders</li> </ul> A Walk on the Safe Side is written for business leaders, executives, and professionals, providing a roadmap for navigating risk, building trust, and driving growth while maintaining the highest standards of responsibility and transparency.

Leading with Science in an Uncertain World

A Walk on the Safe Side

Too many leaders are burning out--and taking their teams with them. Despite good intentions, many organizations still push harder, demand more, and equate long hours with high performance. The result? Talented people walk away from work they once loved, while leaders feel stuck between delivering results at any cost or failing altogether. Longevity Leadership challenges that paradigm. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral science, and years of experience in organizational change, Jessica Billiet offers a new model for leadership--one that recognizes performance and well-being are not in conflict but deeply connected. When leaders understand how the brain responds to stress, motivation, and habit, they can create environments where people are energized, innovative, and resilient--without sacrificing results. This book explores the small, often overlooked choices leaders make every day: how they respond to pressure, how they communicate during uncertainty, and how they shape team habits and rhythms. Readers will learn practical, science-backed strategies for reducing burnout, leading through resistance, and building sustainable performance across their teams and organizations. At its core, Longevity Leadership is a call for systemic change. It's about equipping leaders at every level with tools to achieve results without destroying the people who deliver them. Inspiring and deeply practical, this book shows that when leaders honor both performance and mental health, everyone wins.

The 5 Laws to Reclaim Your Time, Protect Your Energy and Build a Life That Fits You

Create a Life on Your Terms

From the bestselling author of Do Hard Things and Win the Inside Game comes a guide to showing up in the moments that demand your best and shape who you become. We’ve all been there. The nerves, pressure, doubts, and that voice in our head screaming “what if I’m not good enough?” Once we enter the arena, everything changes, and none of us are immune. Even an Olympic champion muttered on the starting line, "What the hell am I doing here?" Yet, we fundamentally misunderstand pressure and how to rise to the occasion. It’s time to redefine what it means to step up and compete. We’ve been sold a one-dimensional picture of the competitor: fearless, ruthless, dominant, the alpha dog. But fear and doubt aren’t a sign of weakness. They’re the price of admission. Drawing on new science and an original survey of over 2,000 high performers across sport, business, and the arts, Magness shows us that the best aren't defined by fearlessness or fire. They're defined by range: the ability to summon the right state at the right moment. They’re able to be fierce without becoming reckless, focused without becoming rigid, and driven without losing the people beside them. Step Into the Arena is about more than just performing. The arena isn’t just a stadium or a stage. It’s the blank page, the difficult conversation, and every moment when we care deeply, the outcome is uncertain, and failure stings. In a world of curated feeds and sideline critics, the arena is one of the last places of unfiltered truth. It’s where we stop hiding, risk failure for something worthy, and find out what we're made of. It asks something larger of us: What are we striving for? How will we strive? And who will we become in the process? For everyone who has ever known exactly what they were capable of, and watched the moment take it away, it's time to take it back. Step into the arena. It's where you'll find out who you are.

How to Master Pressure, Quiet Your Doubts, and Show Up When It Matters Most

Step into the Arena

Part life philosophy, part financial clarity, and part real-world wisdom from a hugely popular estate planning attorney who has seen what happens when families plan and when they don't. I'm Sorry I'm Dead helps readers confront the reality of life's end, not in a morbid way, but in a deeply empowering one. Estate planning attorney, entrepreneur, and best-selling author Pamela Maass Garrett aka Law Mother has helped thousands of families navigate what happens when someone dies. She has seen firsthand that the biggest problems families face are rarely legal: they are emotional, relational, and the result of decisions never made . . . siblings that stop speaking over a dispute about their parent's home, a grieving widow locked out of bank accounts because she didn't know how to get access, and families forced to guess about critical medical decisions. All of these problems can be easily avoided. In this book, Garrett introduces a powerful mindset shift: when you face the end of life honestly, you begin living more intentionally today. Through compelling stories from real families, practical financial insights, and simple decision-making frameworks, readers learn how to take control of their lives before circumstances take control of them. The book guides readers through the most important life decisions most people avoid: · how to organize finances and build real wealth · how to protect loved ones legally and emotionally · how to make difficult family decisions before crisis strikes · how to prevent conflict, confusion, and regret after death · how to create a legacy that strengthens future generations rather than unintentionally burdening them with a huge tax bill · what you really can and can't do Rather than overwhelming readers with technical legal details, I'm Sorry I'm Dead offers a clear philosophy and practical tools for making the decisions that matter most. The result is a life lived with greater clarity, stronger relationships, and the peace of knowing the people you love will be protected. This book is for anyone who wants to stop drifting through life and start deciding it.
