How Innovations are Changing our Future

Technological Evolution

Break free from delay and reclaim your lifeStruggling to start important tasks, even when you know the consequences? This practical guide draws on clinical expertise and research to tackle procrastination at its roots, all grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).Overcoming Procrastination dismantles common myths about motivation and willpower, exposing delay as a struggle with emotional regulation, rigid thinking and environmental triggers. You'll discover why distant deadlines feel harmless, how negative automatic thoughts fuel avoidance, and why 'productive procrastination' sabotages your goals.Inside, you'll find: · A step-by-step framework to help you understand why you delay. · How emotional regulation and motivation work, and what keeps avoidance habits locked in place. · Self-assessment tools, reflective exercises and real-world examples.From managing digital distractions and setting meaningful goals to using activity scheduling, this book provides practical solutions for overcoming self-doubt, perfectionism and stress. Discover how to break the intention-action gap, reward yourself effectively and build routines that last. Whether you want to improve academic success, productivity at work, or simply stop delaying what matters, this guide offers a compassionate, structured path forward.Overcoming self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. Many guides in the Overcoming series are recommended under the Reading Well scheme. Series Editor: Emeritus Professor Peter Cooper

A self-help guide using cognitive behavioural techniques

Overcoming Procrastination

Indecision is a fact of life.We can't decide what film to watch, dinner to make or wine to buy. We hesitate before committing to romantic relationships and then again before breaking up. We worry about how best to invest our money, time, and energy. In contrast, we admire those individuals who can make quick decisions and stick to them with ease.But what if the line we've been sold - that indecision is bad, unhelpful, weak - is wrong?In this ground-breaking book, two leading psychologists upend the traditional decision mindset and reveal the hidden benefits of staying undecided. Drawing on the latest neuroscience and a wealth of examples from current affairs, history and popular culture, Ophelia Deroy and Bahador Bahrami provide fresh insight on everything from online dating and parenting to the gig economy and the way we vote. In so doing, they reveal that our obsession with decision-making does us more harm than good. Offering a radical, and often counterintuitive, new perspective on our everyday predicaments, Indecision encourages us to cultivate the power of an unresolved mind for happier, healthier lives.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An indispensable guide to help women reclaim hours in their day by overcoming the Four 4P’s—People Pleasing, Procrastination, Perfectionism, and Padding—from the acclaimed author of The Myth of the Nice Girl. “A liberating reframing of time in a culture that equates busyness with worth.”—Jennifer B. Wallace, New York Times bestselling author of Mattering and Never Enough Women often carry a different kind of time load—one that adds up in ways that aren’t always visible but deeply felt. Often, these responsibilities cause us to fall prey to what Fran Hauser calls “The 4 P’s”—people-pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination, and (time) padding. Whether it’s saying yes when you know you don’t have the bandwidth, rewriting an email for the tenth time, or sitting through meetings that go nowhere, these patterns chip away at our hours, leaving less time for what truly matters. But when we start paying attention to these habits, we begin to change our relationship with time. In Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour, Hauser shows professional women how to embrace a “twenty-minute mindset” to create more time and space for themselves and their most meaningful work. This mindset helps us break free from the 4 P’s, stop over-rotating and make progress in less time than we think we need. Drawing on Hauser’s decades of executive experience—and stories from successful women such as Sprinkles Founder Candace Nelson and Journalist Danielle Robay— Twenty Minutes is the New Hour is equal parts accessible and actionable. You’ll come away with important tools, including: <ul><li>The secret recipe for getting an effective meeting done in 20 minutes</li><li>A messy action mindset to help you start (and keep going)</li><li>Ways to streamline projects and negotiations that have become overly complex</li><li>Frameworks for nailing high-stakes conversations without overthinking</li><li>A simple weekly practice to create space on your calendar</li></ul> Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour is the antidote to our always-on, overworked world and a fresh take on productivity. The goal isn’t to do more. It’s to focus on what matters—and feel good about how you’re doing it.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.An unorthodox guide to making things worth making, from 'the father of the iPod and iPhone' and the creator of Nest.Everyone deserves a mentor.For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:Here's how to think about choosing a job. Here's how to be a better manager. Here's how to approach design. Here's how to start a company. Here's how to run it.Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.PRAISE FOR BUILD This is the most fun - and the most fascinating - memoir of curiosity and invention that I've ever read.'Malcolm Gladwell, Host of the Revisionist History podcast. Author of Outliers and Talking to Strangers.Whether you're looking to build a great product, a creative team, a strong culture, or a meaningful career, Tony's guidance will get you thinking and rethinking.'Adam Grant, Author of Think Again &amp; Host of the TED podcast WorkLife

Sleep isn't passive rest, but a critical driver of performance.In high-pressure environments, sleep is often the first thing to go. Long hours are treated as commitment. Pushing through is expected. But the cost builds, often in ways we don't immediately see, leading to distraction, poor decisions, emotional reactivity and missed signals.In this groundbreaking guide, sleep neuroscientist and executive advisor Els van der Helm, PhD, shows that sleep is not just a habit to optimise. It's a system to understand.Blending cutting-edge research with real-world stories and interviews - from global executives to frontline professionals - Dr van der Helm reframes sleep as a hidden driver of performance, resilience and leadership. Her practical, science-backed six-principle framework reveals how we can: <ul><li>Identify our chronotype and align our schedule with peak performance windows</li><li>Use chronotherapy to align work, energy, and recovery across the day</li><li>Understand how REM sleep supports emotional control, creativity, and decision-making - and how to protect it</li><li>Use strategic napping to recover faster and sustain high performance</li><li>Navigate periods of poor sleep, reducing the impact of bad nights and building long-term resilience</li><li>Become a 'sleep leader,' rethinking how work and life are structured to make sustained performance possible, at work and at home</li></ul> Perfect for leaders, ambitious professionals and anyone operating in high-demand environments, Sleep Intelligence offers a new way of thinking about sleep - and how we work, recover and live as a result.

The Instant New York Times bestseller 'Masterful' - Adam Grant 'So interesting' - Pandora Sykes 'Wonderful' - Angela Duckworth An essential read to become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Range. We are constantly told to 'keep our options open' and 'think outside the box' - but what if endless freedom is exactly the problem? Drowning in a dizzying excess of choice often leads to dread, anxiety, and burnout. In Inside the Box, award-winning author David Epstein reveals a powerful truth: to thrive, you don't need more freedom. You need to build your own box. From navigating an uncertain future to building a life, intentional boundaries breed brilliance: <ul><li>Relationships: Couples who consciously commit are more satisfied than those who simply 'keep their options open'.</li><li>Artificial Intelligence: A lack of advanced microchips forced engineers at DeepSeek into brilliant workarounds, producing a model to rival ChatGPT.</li><li>Business: General Magic - a tech startup with limitless funding - failed spectacularly because they refused to set internal limits.</li><li>Science: The periodic table wasn't born from boundless genius, but the strict demands of a textbook deadline.</li><li>Music: Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett produced the bestselling solo piano album of all time by adapting to a broken piano.</li></ul> Constraints are not obstacles - they are powerful tools we can wield. Weaving gripping storytelling with cognitive science, Inside the Box proves the secret to expanding your potential isn't chasing endless options. It's taking back control and choosing the right limits. 'David Epstein's first two books - The Sports Gene and Range - were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best . . . I won't think about my own work the same way ever again' - Malcolm Gladwell
