Dass R: Be Here Now 2026 Wall Calendar

Be Here Now 2026 Wall Calendar

Teachings from Ram Dass

<div>Learn how the world’s most memorable brands find the words that make them impossible to ignore. Visual identity has its canon. Logos, typefaces, color systems, and design principles have filled bookshelves for decades. But behind every successful brand is another system that shapes perception, builds trust, and creates emotional connection: language. In How Brands Find Their Voice, brand writer and Brand Impact Awards founder Nick Carson gives verbal identity the visual design-book treatment it has long deserved. With a foreword by John Simmons—the acclaimed writer who coined the term “verbal identity”—and built on unprecedented access to leading branding agencies and in-house creative teams, this richly illustrated volume reveals how brand language is developed, expressed, and sustained across every touchpoint. Through in-depth case studies spanning hospitality, technology, consumer goods, and nonprofits, from global institutions to challenger brands, Carson explores how language becomes part of a brand’s DNA. Readers meet the people who do the work and discover how verbal identity emerges from collaboration, research, and craft. Inside, you’ll discover: <ul><li>The evolution of brand voice from advertising copy to modern verbal identity</li><li>How leading agencies develop language systems alongside visual identity</li><li>The strategic thinking behind memorable brand voices</li><li>Different approaches to tone, personality, storytelling, and communication</li><li>How organizations embed verbal identity across teams and touchpoints</li><li>What separates effective brand guidelines from documents that are never used</li><li>The opportunities and challenges that AI presents for brand language</li></ul> Featuring brands such as Ben &amp; Jerry’s, Mailchimp, Virgin, Liquid Death, Innocent, Oatly, and many others—and world-renowned agencies including COLLINS, Wolff Olins, and JKR—the book demonstrates that successful verbal identity is not about clever taglines or isolated campaigns. It’s about creating a coherent language system that shapes every interaction people have with a brand. Filled with photography, packaging, digital experiences, environmental graphics, annotated guidelines, and expert commentary,&nbsp;How Brands Find Their Voice presents language in context, where words and visuals work together to create meaning. For brand strategists, designers, copywriters, marketers, students, and business leaders, this book offers both inspiration and practical insight into one of branding’s most important—and least understood—disciplines.</div>

Why Brands Should Watch Their Language

How Brands Find Their Voice

Every leader knows the drain of conflict handled badly: performance conversations that go nowhere, teams that don't trust each other, fires you keep putting out instead of doing the work you want to do. Most leadership advice treats conflict as a threat to manage. This book makes the opposite case: Conflict is energy, and how you use it determines whether it builds your team or turns your work culture toxic. That choice has never mattered more. Employees now spend over a third of their workday dealing with conflict, and fewer than half trust their leader to navigate it well. Leaders who don't handle conflict skillfully create workplaces with 80 percent more unproductive conflict. Ninety-four percent of people trained in this framework rate it more effective than anything else they've used. What makes this different from the standard playbook for “difficult conversations”? Most frameworks ask you to choose: kind or direct, relationship or results. This book rejects that trade-off: Compassion without accountability is ineffective, and accountability without it is unkind. This book shows how to hold both, using the compassion cycle, the drama triangle it replaces, and the ORPO formula, turning principle into a repeatable playbook. The book moves in three parts: first naming the problem, how good intentions and unmanaged conflict energy spiral into drama; then introducing the antidote, the compassion cycle and the behavioral skills that interrupt drama before it takes hold; and finally handing you the playbook, the ORPO formula and match-and-move method for engaging conflict and coaching others through it in real time. New to this edition: <ul><li>A complete framework outline up front</li><li>Fifteen years of refinement teaching, coaching, and certifying practitioners worldwide</li><li>New research on what skilled conflict leadership is worth</li><li>Reorganized chapters, more-inclusive language, fresh real-life illustrations</li><li>Access to the Compassionate Accountability Assessment and a range of additional resources to extend the book's impact well beyond the page</li></ul> Written by Nate Regier, PhD, cofounder and CEO of Next Element Consulting, this book distills two decades of applied research into a model any leader can use the next time conflict shows up, which will be soon.

The Science of Succeeding with People

Captivate

When was the last time you thought something through by yourself, without a screen? The brain rot happens quietly. You stop drafting emails and start approving them. You cannot answer a question without checking your phone. You stop wrestling with the idea and start accepting the summary. Every shortcut feels like a win until you've outsourced your mind to machines that don't doubt, don't feel, and don't care. The atrophy is subtle; the cost is staggering. It's the promotion lost to the person who can still reason out loud. It's your child freezing at an open-ended question because no one ever let her sit in the discomfort of not knowing. We are becoming a generation that prompts brilliantly and thinks almost nothing, and it feels so good we don't even notice. Use Your Brain is a field guide for sharpening your creativity and original thinking when the generic answer is always a tap away, whether it's in the boardroom or around the kitchen table. From CEOs to artists to students to parents, the most effective navigators of the modern era have one thing in common: they aren't afraid to pick up a new tool, but they know exactly when to put it down and think for themselves. Drawing on years of research, globally-recognized leadership expert Erica Dhawan delivers common-sense habits for protecting your judgment that you can start building tonight. You will learn how to catch yourself on autopilot before you act, how to interrogate an answer that looks finished, how to separate signal from noise under pressure, and how to own a decision instead of laundering it through a machine. The window to keep your edge is still open, but not for long.

Ein Plädoyer für die Hoffnung

Der Karsamstag steht im Abseits des Kirchenjahres und wurde bisher wenig in der Literatur reflektiert. Seine Botschaft aber ist aktueller denn je. Wie soll man an diesem Tag nicht zum Schwarzseher werden? Der bekannte Bürgerrechtler und Theologe Frank Richter meint: Gerade in düsteren Situationen wie am Karsamstag kann man wertvolle Erfahrungen machen und Wichtiges erlernen: still zu sein, das Düstere aushalten, warten und sich der eigenen Werte vergewissern. Frank Richter zeigt, worin der Unterschied zwischen Hoffnung und Optimismus liegt. Er betrachtet die christliche Tugend der Hoffnung aus persönlicher, politischer und theologischer Sicht und bringt überraschende Zusammenhänge auf den Punkt. Entdecken Sie den Karsamstag als Gelegenheit für eine persönliche Hoffnungs-Übung!

KarsamstagsGedanken

Warum ich Hoffnung für die Hoffnung habe

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

The Rational Pessimist

'I LOVED this book. I tore through it because it's so compelling. You will be left feeling informed, energised and hopeful' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN 'Wise, uplifting and revelatory. What the world is crying out for' SANDI TOKSVIGEat healthily, cut back on alcohol, quit smoking, cycle to work, fly less - we all know what we should be doing. So why aren't we?The answer is both simple and radical: the world is stacked against us. From the moment we wake up, our decisions are shaped by the shops we visit, the streets we walk down, the ads we scroll through. These environments are not neutral. They are designed for our convenience and immediate gratification, and to serve the interests of four industries: tobacco, ultra-processed food, alcohol and fossil fuels.Together, these industries drive the climate crisis, from greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation, and contribute to our poor health and at least one in four deaths worldwide each year. Yet we are told the problem is one of personal responsibility - that with more information, smarter habits or new technologies, we can change our behaviour.This book challenges those myths. Drawing on decades of cutting-edge research and compelling case studies from around the world, leading behavioural scientist Theresa Marteau explores what actually works, and why those in power keep failing to act on evidence. From taxing sugary drinks in Mexico to redesigning streets in Paris, from restricting junk food advertising in London to electing more women to office, Marteau shows how proven interventions applied at scale could transform our health and the health of our planet.Clear-eyed and incisive, this is a book for anyone who wants to understand why change is so hard. It offers an inspiring blueprint for how citizens and governments can push back against vested interests and corporate power and build a fairer, brighter future, together.'A rousing call-to-arms ... an extraordinarily valuable read' DAVID SPIEGELHALTER
