Anyone can be a contrarian. Effective leaders are smart about when--and how--they go against conventional wisdom to succeed.Contrarians are, by and large, ineffective. Their countervailing ideas don't gain support. Their pleas for understanding are dismissed. Their efforts to change minds backfire. But it's not because they're always wrong. It's because they're not smart about going against the grain. People tend to think of contrarianism as some innate trait that you either have or you don't. It's not. It's a way of thinking and a set of skills that can be learned and practiced.This provocative and deeply researched book teaches those skills. Strategy scholars Chengwei Liu and Balázs Kovács reveal how exceptional performance is far less predictable--and far less meritocratic--than most people believe. Drawing on insights from behavioral science, business strategy, finance, sports, entertainment, and entrepreneurship, they show how luck, social dynamics, institutional conformity, and hidden biases shape who succeeds, who fails, and which ideas rise to the top.The authors uncover why consensus thinking so often leads organizations and leaders astray through fascinating stories ranging from PSY's "Gangnam Style" to the rise of Capital One to venture capital bets, celebrity CEOs, financial collapses, and viral cultural phenomena. They introduce a powerful framework for spotting overlooked opportunities, avoiding costly decision traps, and building organizations that learn faster than their competitors do.Leaders and professionals who thrive are not reckless rebels or irrational gamblers but disciplined, smart contrarians who know how to separate signal from hype, skill from luck, and genuine innovation from fashionable noise.Fresh and highly original--and a joy to read--Smart Contrarians is the guide for executives, leaders, entrepreneurs, and all ambitious professionals who want to zig when everyone else zags.

Too young to retire, too vital to stand still, too experienced to start from scratch? Welcome to your Bonus Years. Increased longevity has gifted us fifteen-to-twenty extra active, healthy working years, shattering the traditional linear career script of learning, working, and retiring. In The Bonus Years, the world's leading expert on career transition, and London Business School Professor Herminia Ibarra, delivers the definitive, social-science-backed resource for navigating later-career transformation. Ibarra reveals that thriving in an extended work life requires abandoning the old linear, plan-and-implement strategies. Instead, successful reinvention comes through 'resourceful discovery' - a disciplined process of active experimentation, trying on new futures, and knowing when to adjust your course. Whether change has arrived uninvited through an industry shock, or a quiet internal restlessness is telling you it's time to let go, this book provides the actionable tools to build transition mastery and successfully map your path forward. Filled with rich and varied case studies of professionals who reinvented themselves across the globe, The Bonus Years is an empowering manifesto for anyone who refuses to stand still. It is proof that to bloom late is not to bloom less - it is to bloom with deeper roots, on your own terms.

There is a reason why some people never break free financially.
And it is simpler than you think.

This book reveals what many overlook, what few talk about, and what can change more than luck, a high income, or hard work.

The secret is not far away.
The only question is whether you dare to see it.

Happiness. Success. Freedom.
Love. Hope. Wealth.

It's not about finding more.
It's about remembering what you already have.

The Simple Secret Behind Millions

This is a clear, compelling guide to improving racial literacy in schools and communities, demonstrating how making that investment can transform our education system. Exploring the ability to understand race, racism and anti-racism as an effective tool for recognising and challenging racism, educators and learners will find opportunities to develop their racial literacy through a range of practical activities. These form part of an ongoing journey of learning, using the impact of De Montfort University's Stephen Lawrence Research Centre. This specific, focused approach places the book's advice and ideas - from decolonising the curriculum and anti-racist educator training to student ambassadors and open dialogue - squarely within the historical context of race and education in the UK. By working through the nuance of racial consciousness and towards a fair and equitable society it stands as a productive counterpoint to the conventional wisdom of how to 'solve' racism. This is essential reading for anyone committed to achieving social justice and racial equity in our education system.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award How 1,000 years of global history show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapse In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies--the United States and China--have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change. By examining key historical moments--from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI--Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past--such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain--ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term--findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

24 Principles to Help You Get Out of Your Own Way

Just F*cking Do It

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.
