O'Connor F: Flannery O'Connor on Writing

Flannery O'Connor on Writing

THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER As seen in TIME Magazine and on High Performance podcast 'This book could change your life' - Time Out 'A remarkable reflection on values and psychology based on hard-won experience' - Rory Stewart Expert advice to master your potential, from the founder and CEO of Discovery and Vitality. Adrian Gore built a company from a single, bold idea into a global financial group serving over 50 million customers across more than forty markets. He didn't just scale a business; he created a whole new shared-value business model, a system so revolutionary it's taught as a case study at Harvard Business School and has been recognized by Fortune magazine as 'changing the world'. In The Four Principles, Gore reveals the framework and guiding principles that powered this success for the first time. Moving beyond standard leadership advice, he explores the behavioural science and 'multiplier effect' that occur when these four principles intersect:<ol><li>Disciplined Optimism: We have a default tendency to seek out negative signals. Learn why choosing optimism is the most rational path to seizing overlooked opportunities.</li><li>Focused Urgency: Why your perceived time to make an impact is shorter than you think. Recognizing this can act as your greatest motivator.</li><li>Declared Goals: Psychologically, avoiding a loss feels twice as important as achieving a gain. Setting bold goals triggers this force, unlocking radical motivation and decisive action.</li><li>The 'Pareto Tail': Building on the other principles, learning to identify and target a few high-power decisions can determine your life's entire trajectory.</li></ol> Gore argues that our instincts, shaped for a simpler, linear world, often mislead us in today's complex, networked age. The Four Principles challenges these outdated mental models and shows you how to harness your potential for truly remarkable results - personally and professionally. 'Demonstrates how to create enduring value' - Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock 'Important reading for those aspiring to leadership or seeking to make an impact on the world' - Lord William Hague, Chancellor of the University of Oxford 'The Four Principles distils decades of leadership and insight into a practical framework that explains what matters - and why' - Sir Mark Tucker, Chairman, AIA Group 'For leaders seeking to create outsized impact' - Ruth Porat, President and CIO of Alphabet and Google

Multiply Your Impact in Life and Leadership

The Four Principles

A manifesto in lectures about the material conditions and absurdities of being a writer and adjunct professor under capitalism-by turns funny, angry, despairing, and hopeful-from a writer who "has invented a new form" (Annie Ernaux). 
 
 In the spring of 2025, Heroines and Drifts author Kate Zambreno taught a weekly nonfiction "craft" lecture at Columbia University, thinking through the crises of the adjunct loop in the United States and the question of labor and writing in publishing and the university. This project became more absurd, and more urgent, as the Trump administration quickly turned to authoritarianism and the university became complicit with the administration, creating a dystopian and paranoid atmosphere in which students were kidnapped from university housing and student protestors were expelled. How can we study together and create under such conditions? 
 
 The resulting essays are funny, angry, often in despair, and somehow also full of optimism as to the future of writing, even amidst the collapse of the institutions meant to support writers and students. Zambreno engages with texts including Sofia Samatar's Opacities, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's The Undercommons, Noémi Lefebvre's The Poetics of Work, Heike Geissler's Seasonal Associate, and Samuel Delaney's Times Square Red, Times Square Blue. 
 
 A craft book against a "craft" divorced from political and material realities, Against Nonfiction is for anyone trying to write and make art in impossible times.

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

This book applies the approach and methodology of 'Resilient Property Theory' (RPT), bringing together leading scholars to develop and test new approaches to housing and its relationships to private property and environmental sustainability. RPT analyses problems through multiple lenses, paying attention to the web of intersecting issues and stakeholders involved in contemporary housing studies: individuals (owners, tenants, precariously housed, homeless), aggregated interests (neighborhoods, communities, markets, social movements), and the state itself across its multi-layered actors, agencies and institutions (local/city; regional; national; transnational). It focuses on seeking out solutions that enable the production of resilience for different stakeholders and promote resilience within housing systems. This book focuses on providing greater synergy amongst a diverse range of perspectives, across disciplines (law, economics, history, political science) across a range of jurisdictions (US and Canada, England and Wales, Scotland, Europe, Australia and South Africa) and sets out to find sustainable solutions.

The Future of Housing

The book examines the practice of judicial reasoning in Tort law, understood as a process of justification, consisting of both deductive and non-deductive elements, and therefore involving a significant element of choice or discretion. The book divides the elements of judicial reasoning into four conceptual categories: factual assessments, application of legislative and judge-made rules, reliance on reasonableness, and policy considerations. To discuss these elements in a comparative perspective the book uses the English and French judicial traditions of Tort law as case studies. This enables the author to present a range of methods of establishing facts, drawing inferences, using legal sources and relying on policy arguments. By closely examining selected Tort judgments from both jurisdictions, the book elucidates the phenomenon of law-making through adjudication in both a non-codified and a codified system of liability. It offers a reflection on different approaches legal systems may adopt to the importance in the process of judicial justification of such issues as certainty and truth, common sense, consistency with previous judicial decisions and policy.
The book connects the choice of approaches in judicial reasoning in Tort law with its procedural and institutional context.

This book examines the practice of judicial reasoning in Tort law. Drawing on comparative examples from the French judicial tradition, it connects the choice of approaches in judicial reasoning with its procedural and institutional context.

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.

Bhogal on Anti-Social Behaviour

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.
