How to build innovation and industrial ecosystems in the US that support global leadership in priority technologies of the future. A new world order is emerging, and within it, US priorities are shifting. A reconfiguration of global supply chains. The redrawing of geopolitical lines and alliances with increasing threats of conflict. A rise in weather-related disasters. And the emergence of transformative technologies. All these factors are converging to create an environment filled with uncertainty and change—but also possibility. For the country to flourish as well as defend and secure its interests, it must build on its decades of experience in developing frontier technologies and globally competitive industries through investments into priority technologies for the twenty-first century. This volume, edited by Elisabeth Reynolds, presents a high-level introduction to some of the key areas where the United States must excel and lead in the coming decades to ensure both national and economic security. The book provides an overview of six key priority technologies—critical minerals, semiconductors, biomanufacturing, quantum computing, drones, and advanced manufacturing—needed to build the innovation and industrial ecosystems that will keep the US secure and drive shared prosperity. Contributors: Elsa A. Olivetti, Jesús del Alamo, J. Christopher Love, William D. Oliver, Jonathan Ruane, and Fiona E. Murray.

“I thought David Epstein’s first two books were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best. I’ll never think about my own work the same way again.” —Malcolm Gladwell It's never been easier to do too much. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Range, why limits are the key to stimulating creativity, innovation, collaboration, and personal contentment. We live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and prizes freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do, who to be, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing, and unlimited resources don’t necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction. David Epstein argues that all of us—individuals, businesses, institutions, even societies—can benefit from narrowing our options. He dives into the science and practice of constraints, exploring exactly when and how guardrails can be beneficial, whether we’re working with limited resources or using self-imposed boundaries to tap unexpected wells of focus and innovation. Original, galvanizing, and deeply researched, Inside the Box tells absorbing stories of people and organizations that embraced constraints to transform themselves, and the world—as well as a few that struggled from a lack of limits. Epstein reveals how boundaries create breakthroughs, and how setting the right constraints can help you become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself.

Inside the Box

A timely, practical guide to AI—its strengths, weaknesses, and real-world applications—for business professionals and policymakers. Artificial intelligence, or AI, can recognize a pattern from any set of data it is given, which is what makes it such an extraordinarily powerful tool. But because not all patterns are authentic or reliable, AI's pattern-finding superpower can lead to spurious patterns—and to disastrous results for business and government entities that rely on them. Hence the conundrum at the heart of AI: its greatest strength can also be its greatest weakness. Targeting the businessperson who needs to know how to use AI profitably and responsibly, Caleb Briggs and Rex Briggs offer in this book a foundational understanding of AI that is easy to grasp yet thorough enough to be used effectively.

A Daily Practice for Extreme Results

The Obsession Year

It's a lot, we say. And it's true - sometimes everyday life feels like too much. So what habits can we prioritise for mental clarity and creative verve? How can we continue to do what's normal and necessary but wind back to care for our basic human needs? In this gentle, wise and actionable guide, best-selling author and respected health journalist Jodi Wilson explores the simple, evidence-based changes we can make to give our brains the breathing space they need. After a lifetime with anxiety, Jodi wanted to better understand herself so she could continue to be creative and productive without slipping into overwhelm and exhaustion. In this fascinating exploration of the brain and body, she discovers that neuroscientists and psychologists, as well as artists and sustainable living experts, all agree on the one habit that can change how we live. It's something our ancestors had in abundance but we've essentially eradicated from our lives: free time, spare time, leisure time - real space to breathe. The modern concept of self-care we've been sold doesn't help - it costs us time and money and keeps us on an unsustainable treadmill. No one is making any money when we choose to rest and do less, yet it's the proven antidote to modern stress. Instead of looking ahead for answers, we need to consider our evolutionary biology; our brains were designed for life 10,000 years ago, so what would our ancestors have found helpful? A Brain That Breathes is full of accessible and practical suggestions to embrace the power of 'enoughness', 'soft fascination' and intentional 'not-doing' so you can declutter your mind, restore your attention, and live every day with breathing space.

A Brain That Breathes

Busting the myth of “groupthink,” a powerful look at how our ability to influence one another can accelerate individual and collective intelligence. A leading expert on social networks and behavior change delivers new principles of social influence to improve collective intelligence. For years, scientists have struggled to discover the formula to produce the world’s smartest teams. But the solution has been elusive&nbsp;because they have focused on individual intelligences. In Goodthink, Damon Centola shows how to build teams, design online platforms, and create office spaces that sharpen our thinking individually and align our intelligence collectively. The secret, it turns out, is in the shape of our networks. How did MIT’s Building 20, populated with outcasts and eccentrics, become one of the most innovative and productive research hubs in American history? Why did increasing the number of online echo chambers unexpectedly reduce political polarization? How can popular “herding behavior” make crowds more intelligent? This book has the answers. Taking us behind the scenes of the most successful systems of collective intelligence in the modern world, it introduces a new science of what it means to be smart. Every day, each of us faces four critical decision-making challenges: choosing, coordination, cooperation, and creativity. Goodthink describes the tell-tale signs of when effective structures are at work, enabling us to “read the room” and begin to shift the dynamics at play. It also reveals how to know when things are failing and what to do to fix them. Delivering path-breaking insights currently at work within Fortune 500 companies, global philanthropic organizations, and government agencies, the book reveals underlying dynamics of group intelligence that have gone overlooked. Showing us how these principles work to make us feel more confident, more connected, and more engaged, Goodthink leaves us feeling smarter—because we are!

Right now, the chances are that the world is changing faster than your organization. And it won't be slowing down any time soon.If your organization is stuck in the old model of change - unfreeze, move, refreeze - sooner or later you'll fall so far behind that you fall over. Instead of relying solely on change management skills, what you also need now is Adaptability Intelligence. When you move your people from fear of change to freedom to change, you set them up for higher productivity, better leadership and transformational change - forever.Those who are more adaptable don't just bounce back from adversity, they bounce higher, able to see any change as the chance to make a difference to others and to challenge themselves. They have the confidence to face an uncertain future knowing that they're ready to make the most of whatever happens next.When everything changes, all the time, adaptability is the only future-proof skill, and the one that unlocks all the others.Rich Alderton has been leading change for over 25 years, in roles that have included head of a billion-dollar supply chain, regional CEO of a global No.1, and board member of a listed company. He now runs a leadership development practice, with a diverse client list that ranges from agritech start-ups in NZ to the UK's NHS.

Most books about the gig economy fall into one of two categories: breathless cheerleading that ignores real challenges, or pessimistic warnings that dismiss every opportunity as exploitation. The Gig Economy: Cutting Through the BS is neither. 

Richard Lowe spent twelve years building, testing, and abandoning online income strategies before finding what actually works. He made $10,000 in affiliate marketing and walked away because the industry runs on manufactured social proof and predatory incentives. He made $35,000 on eBay before fees and platform changes killed the margins. He tested contest sites, read-for-pay schemes, dropshipping, Fiverr gigs, and survey platforms, and documented exactly why each one fails and what makes people keep trying them anyway. 

What he kept was a methodology. Not a system to copy, but a repeatable process for identifying opportunities others miss, testing ideas cheaply before committing, scaling what works, and killing what doesn't. That methodology eventually built a ghostwriting business generating $150,000 a year. More importantly, it can be applied to almost any skill set in almost any market. 

This book is for the person who just lost a job and needs income within thirty days. For the employed professional who wants a second income stream before they need one. For the freelancer who has tried platforms like Fiverr and Upwork and can't understand why the math never works out. For the semi-retired professional with decades of expertise and no idea it's sellable. For anyone with ADHD or neurodivergence who needs income that works with their brain instead of against it. 

It covers the psychological traps that keep motivated, intelligent people stuck in strategies that aren't working - sunk cost fallacy, confirmation bias, authority bias, social proof - and provides concrete systems to counteract them. It covers scam detection in practical terms, including the mechanics of three real scams the author personally encountered. It covers the legal and financial basics that most freelance books skip: how to write a statement of work, how to structure payment to protect yourself, what insurance you actually need. 

No affiliate links. No guaranteed systems. No recycled advice dressed up in new packaging. Just an honest account of what works, what doesn't, and how to tell the difference before you waste months finding out the hard way.

The Gig Economy

Edición especial 10.º aniversario ¿Alguna vez te has sentido abrumado? ¿Sientes que estás al mismo tiempo trabajando más y no estás siendo aprovechado? ¿Estás continuamente ocupado, pero no eres productivo? ¿Sientes como si tu tiempo estuviera constantemente secuestrado por la agenda de otras personas? Si respondiste sí a cualquiera de estas preguntas, la solución es Esencialismo. El Esencialismo es más que una estrategia para administrar tu tiempo o una técnica de productividad. Es una disciplina sistemática para distinguir lo que es absolutamente esencial y para eliminar lo que no lo es: para que podamos hacer la mayor contribución posible a las cosas que de verdad importan. Al forzarnos a utilizar criterios más selectivos para lo que realmente es esencial, la búsqueda disciplinada de menos permite que recuperemos el control de nuestras elecciones sobre dónde gastar nuestro valioso tiempo y energía, en lugar de darle a otros el permiso implícito de elegir por nosotros. Esencialismo es una forma novedosa de hacer todo. Es sobre hacer más, pero mejor, en cada área de nuestra vida. Esencialismo es una actitud emprendedora, audaz y exitosa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Special 10th Anniversary Edition. THE LIFE-CHANGING NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • MORE THAN TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD • Now in a 10th anniversary edition featuring a new introduction and bonus 21-day challenge. “Essentialism holds the keys to solving one of the great puzzles of life: How can we do less but accomplish more?”—Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin? Are you often busy but not productive? Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist. Essentialism is more than a time-management technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter. By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for where to spend our precious time and energy, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices, instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing to do. It’s a whole new way of doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Join the millions of people who have used Essentialism to change their outlook on the world.
