Barry Susan R.: Dear Oliver

Dear Oliver

An unexpected friendship with Oliver Sacks

Your Nervous System Is the Bottleneck — The Internal Operating System for Leaders Under Pressure

When pressure becomes permanent, leadership doesn’t fail loudly—it degrades quietly. Decisions slow. Second-guessing creeps in. Authority softens in ways no dashboard can detect. From the outside, everything still looks fine. Inside, clarity is harder to access on demand.

This is the work behind the leader who raised $29M while staying regulated enough to keep their board confident, their team aligned, and their marriage intact. Behind the executive who scaled through three acquisitions without losing decision quality. Behind the founder who built capacity as intentionally as they built revenue.

This isn’t a motivation or discipline problem. And it isn’t solved by better frameworks, productivity systems, or AI tools.

It’s a capacity problem.

Today’s leaders are operating in nonstop uncertainty, relentless information flow, rapid technological disruption, and high-stakes decisions with incomplete data. AI accelerates execution. Markets demand faster pivots. Complexity never turns off. In this environment, the real competitive edge isn’t intelligence or strategy.

It’s regulation—your nervous system’s ability to hold pressure without distorting perception, judgment, or authority.

Neuro Resilient Leader introduces a neuroscience-backed operating system for leadership at the speed of change. This is not burnout recovery. This is not wellness culture. This is a precision upgrade for leaders who must think clearly, decide decisively, and remain grounded while everything else accelerates.

Inside this book, you’ll discover:

• How high-performing leaders expand their internal capacity to meet external demand—without sacrificing health, relationships, or authority

• How to remain calm when certainty is unavailable and maintain decision quality under sustained pressure

• How to convert stress from cognitive drag into strategic advantage

• The C³ Protocol: a proven framework for Clarity, Capacity, and Composure under pressure




This work is grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and real-world leadership application—not theory for theory’s sake. It addresses the invisible erosion that happens long before leaders burn out: the quiet degradation of judgment, instinct, and presence. Long before leaders fail publicly, something far more dangerous happens privately. Their decision-making erodes quietly.

PRAISE FOR NEURO RESILIENT LEADER:

"In an era where AI accelerates everything—decisions, pressure, and unpredictability—Neuro Resilient Leader delivers the human upgrade leaders desperately need." —Jeremiah Owyang, General Partner at Blitzscaling Ventures

"The principles that built Amazon required a nervous system capable of processing massive complexity without short-circuiting. Angus Nelson has created the definitive guide for developing that same neurological resilience." —Steve Anderson, bestselling author of The Bezos Letters

"After 25+ years studying and teaching self-leadership, I can tell you this: You can't lead others until you first lead yourself. Angus Nelson shows how to do this by bridging the gap between neuroscience and leadership in a way that's both rigorous and immediately applicable." —Andrew Bryant, author of Self Leadership (McGraw Hill) and POTENTIAL-IZE (Wiley)

"Angus Nelson delivers a timely and important message. This book is essential for leaders navigating uncertainty and driving growth." —Tony Weisman, former CMO of Dunkin', former CEO of Digitas

"Devour this book because it really works! Angus Nelson shows leaders how to cut through the noise and find clarity when it matters most." —Michael Stelzner, Founder of Social Media Examiner

Also endorsed by Jon Acuff (New York Times bestselling author), Steve Cadigan (former Chief HR Officer, LinkedIn), David Meltzer (Top 100 Business Coach), Joel Comm (New York Times bestselling author), Jeff Goins (bestselling author of The Art of Work), and Scott Leese (Founder, Scott Leese Consulting).

Ein emotionales und wichtiges BuchConny Böttger widmet ihr Leben der Tierrettung.

Sie ist bei jeder Rettungsaktion persönlich dabei, kennt jede Kuh einzeln und weiß um ihre Gefühle und Bedürfnisse. Für Conny sind die Tiere nicht bloß Kühe, sie sind Lebewesen, deren Bedürfnisse über die Maßen schützenswert sind. Und das geht ins Herz.

El gurú de los equipos de alto rendimiento revela las estrategias clave para trabajar con todo tipo de personas (incluso las más difíciles). ¿QUIÉN ES LA PERSONA MÁS COMPLICADA CON LA QUE TRABAJAS? Es probable que no necesites pensarlo demasiado para responder a esta pregunta. Ya sabes cuál es su nombre, cuál es su puesto, cuáles son sus manías y sus defectos. Has vivido de primera mano el desgaste mental y emocional que deja a su paso. Has visto los problemas que genera en todo el equipo. Te gustaría arreglarla, cambiarla, ignorarla o teletransportarla a una dimensión paralela. Pero no puedes, tienes que colaborar con ella. Podrías dejar el trabajo, pero en el siguiente te estará esperando otra persona complicada, así que necesitas estrategias efectivas para colaborar con (casi) cualquier persona, en especial con las más exigentes, ásperas o problemáticas. A partir de su experiencia como consultor internacional con equipos y líderes,desde el glamuroso mundo del deporte y el entretenimiento, hasta el rigor de las finanzas, las aseguradoras, la industria farmacéutica y el sector industrial-, Ryan Leak ofrece estrategias contrastadas para: <ul><li>Ver a las personas difíciles como seres humanos a los que comprender, y no como problemas por resolver.</li><li>Desintoxicar expectativas poco realistas y aprender a convivir con lo complicado.</li><li>Comunicarte de forma eficaz en entornos complejos.</li><li>Aceptar el desacuerdo saludable como una herramienta para encontrar mejores soluciones.</li><li>Establecer límites que les permitan a los demás entrar en tu mundo sin dejar que lo controlen.</li></ul>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A New York Times Bestseller! Bestselling author and transformational speaker Ryan Leak shares research-based strategies for working with even the most challenging people to create more collaborative and productive teams. Who is the most complicated person you work with? You probably don’t have to think very hard to answer that question. You already know their name, their job title, their quirks, and their flaws. You have firsthand experience with the mental and emotional fallout they leave in their wake. You’ve seen the problems their complexity creates for everyone on their team. You wish you could fix them, solve them, ignore them, or teleport them to a parallel dimension. But you can’t. You have to work with them. (You could quit, but your next job will have a complicated person waiting for you.) That means you need effective strategies to collaborate with (nearly) anyone. Especially the picky, prickly, problematic ones. Drawing from his global consulting experience with teams and leaders from the glitz of sports and entertainment, to the number-crunching world of finance, to the meticulous realms of insurance, pharma, and manufacturing, Ryan Leak provides proven strategies for…<ul><li>Seeing challenging individuals as human beings to understand rather than problems to solve</li><li>Detoxing unrealistic expectations and getting comfortable with complicated</li><li>Learning to communicate effectively in complex environments</li><li>Embracing healthy disagreement as a tool to discover better solutions</li><li>Setting boundaries that let people into your world without letting them run your world</li></ul> “The process of learning to collaborate with difficult individuals is transformative—it’s a gateway to greater creativity, stronger teams, and increased productivity,” Leak explains. “On the other side of complicated is the wonderful, wide-open world of effective collaboration and a workplace you love.”

Ancient Wisdom for a Better Night’s Rest

How to Sleep Like a Caveman

In July 1973, at the age of 21, Mark Constantine OBE started making herbal hair products while studying to become a trichologist. Over 50 years later he still works out of his first hair and beauty clinic in Poole High Street, although today at the head of the global cosmetics retailer LUSH.Dear Johntells the rags to riches story of how a headstrong young man went from earning £20 a week treating hair and scalp conditions with home-made remedies; to becoming the major product inventor for The Body Shop; and co-founding the LUSH natural cosmetics brand operating 900 shops in over 45 countries.Mark's story came to a grinding halt in March 2020 when the Covid pandemic closed almost every LUSH shop in the world. Coming hard on the heels of Brexit, another body blow for LUSH which employs thousands of EU citizens both in the UK and across Europe, things couldn't get much worse. Unless you happened to operate 50 shops in Russia and Ukraine and a tragedy was about to envelop your family.Before all of Mark's success, two boys growing up in the seaside resort of Weymouth began a 60-year friendship, where one was the hare and the other, the tortoise. That journey reached an epic climax in South Africa in 2012 and it spurred the hare to keep on running even harder than before. Another decade has passed but the tortoise has finally caught up again, and is the author of this expanded second edition of Dear John, which brings the often controversial life of Mark Constantine and the story of LUSH right up to date.

Build organizations where employees feel truly safe to learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo. The proven practical guide to psychological safety is now expanded with updated research and powerful new frameworks and tools. Psychological safety—the belief that you can speak up without risk of punishment or humiliation—is crucial for high-performing teams and innovative organizations. This revised and expanded edition of Timothy Clark's groundbreaking framework provides leaders with a research-backed roadmap through four distinct stages that enable individuals to feel safe, valued, and empowered. The four stages build progressively: <ul><li>Inclusion Safety (feeling included and accepted),</li><li>Learner Safety (feeling safe to learn and ask questions),</li><li>Contributor Safety (feeling safe to contribute and participate), and</li><li>Challenger Safety (feeling safe to challenge the status quo and speak truth to power).</li></ul> This new edition adds compelling quantitative evidence from Clark's global database of 1.2 million data points, validating the four-stage model across cultures and demographics. New chapters explore what psychological safety is not, the dangers of “nice” cultures, the relationship between psychological and physical safety, and practical measurement strategies. Leaders will learn to banish fear, create performance-based accountability, and build environments where people thrive beyond expectations.

Letters to Our Sons

Psychoanalyse

Was ermöglicht es dem Subjekt, nicht vollständig in den normativen Anrufungen der Gesellschaft aufzugehen? Eva Laquièze-Waniek setzt sich mit der Resthaftigkeit des Subjekts auseinander und rückt sie erstmals in den Mittelpunkt einer psychoanalytischen Analyse. Sie zeigt, dass der Rest als unabdingbare Voraussetzung der Subjektkonstitution und als Quelle des symbolischen 'Ankommens' zu betrachten ist. Diese von Lacan und Freud ausgehende neue Sicht auf das Subjekt fokussiert dabei die Rolle der Sprache im Verhältnis zum Sexuellen und Realen sowie die Ursache von Begehren, Identifizierung und Sublimierung.

'A fascinating journey that illuminates, in often thought-provoking ways, the politics of violence in radical movements' Angela Davis The son of the FBI's most wanted woman tells the electrifying, heart-rending story of a childhood on the run - and a half-century of revolutionary struggle in America We all grapple with a past that defines us: culture, religion, a family story. But what happens when you inherit a revolution? Zayd Ayers Dohrn was born underground. His parents were fugitives after a decade fighting the US government; his mother co-founded a leftist radical group called the Weathermen, and replaced Angela Davis on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. All his life, Dohrn's parents said his birth marked a clean break with violent revolutionary struggle but, in this explosive memoir, he discovers that story wasn't entirely true. A masterpiece of personal and social history, Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young offers a page-turning account of an infamous family and their life in hiding, as well as the political battles of the '60s and '70s. At its heart it asks big questions: how can a child survive when the place they feel safest - with their family - also puts them in danger? What does it mean to be a good revolutionary, and how should young people today try to change the world?

Why socially responsible investment promises to make investors richer and the world better—but fails at both. Wall Street thrives by telling investors that clever financial strategies can reverse the trade-off between corporate profits and social progress. But the link between greater corporate social responsibility and improved financial performance is an illusion. Profit vs. Progress dissects the massive $30 trillion “socially responsible” or “sustainable” finance industry—and finds the emperor has no clothes. At best, sustainable investing typically delivers average rates of financial and social returns. But it makes social and environmental crises harder to overcome, by using financial gimmickry to distract our attention from real solutions. Author Brad Swanson argues that corporations in competitive markets act without moral values, and ethical investment can’t prod them to take greater social responsibility. The only way to change the outcome of the game is to change the rules. The solutions will have to come from legislatures, not corporate boardrooms. Swanson calls for public policies to make businesses better serve all of society, not just their shareholders—without blunting their edge. His recommendations include breaking up the cartel of large asset managers, rebuilding the influence of organized labor, curbing the rapacious behavior of the private equity industry, and eliminating the conflict of interest that pits corporate directors against the greater good of the community. The author shows that in previous eras of social crisis caused by corporate excess, meaningful reforms emerged through the political process. Today as well, the path forward is clear—if we have the will to follow it.

“There is so much at play in this wondrous novel. Vi, struggling to place herself in any context that makes sense within the world, earnestly leads us into a wild experiment, to turn a blob into the man of her dreams, and I was transfixed by her voice. This is a book that looks at identity and desire in profoundly interesting ways.” — Kevin Wilson, bestselling author of Now Is Not the Time to PanicA humorous and deeply moving debut novel in the vein of Bunny and Convenience Store Woman about a young woman who tries to shape a sentient blob into her perfect boyfriend.A New Yorker Best Book of 2025 · A Finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut NovelThe daughter of a Taiwanese father and white mother, Vi Liu has never quite fit into her Midwestern college town. Aimless after getting dumped by her boyfriend and dropping out of college, Vi works at the front desk of a hotel where she greets guests, refills cucumber water samovars, and tries to evade her bubbly blond coworker, Rachel. Little does Vi know her life is about to be permanently transformed when she agrees to a night out with Rachel. In the alley outside the bar, Vi discovers a strange blob—a small living creature with beady black eyes. In a moment of concern and drunken desperation, she takes it home.But the blob is no ordinary pet. Becoming increasingly sentient, it begins to grow, shift shape, and obey Vi’s commands. As the entity continues to change, Vi is struck with a daring idea: she’ll mold the creature into her ideal partner. Feeding it a stream of sweet breakfast cereals and American pop culture, the creature grows into a movie-star handsome white man. But when Vi’s desire to be loved unconditionally threatens to spiral out of control, she is forced to confront her lonely childhood, her aloof ex-boyfriend, and the racial marginalization that has defined her relationships—a journey of self-discovery that teaches her it’s impossible to control those you love.Blending the familiar with the surreal, Blob is a witty, heartfelt story about the search for love and self and what it means to be human.
