“A fascinating look into why people reveal what they do about themselves—and how we can all communicate better with others.” —Arthur C. Brooks, bestselling author of From Strength to Strength A groundbreaking book on the surprising potential of revealing more of ourselves to others, from a celebrated Harvard Business School professor and expert on the psychology of personal disclosure decisions We all know the feeling: that gut-wrenching post-conversation replay, cringing at how much we just revealed. We live in fear of saying too much, so we keep our mouths shut, guard our emotions, and lock away our most personal thoughts. But what if we’ve been worrying about the wrong thing? A growing body of research shows we vastly underestimate the value of sharing more than we think we should, with our spouses, friends, colleagues, and even strangers. Drawing on over a decade of research and real-life stories, behavioral scientist Leslie John explores why we hesitate to open up, when sharing really does backfire, and how to strike a balance between too much and too little. Learning to be more vulnerable and open at work and at home can unlock some of life’s richest rewards: deeper friendships, stronger professional relationships, greater well-being, and, yes, even love. Revealing is a road map for making smarter, bolder, and ultimately more satisfying decisions about just how much you want to share and why.

The Underrated Power of Oversharing

Revealing

A respected voice on technology shows how seemingly simple ads help dismantle democracy and public discourse. Whether you're intentionally shopping or casually browsing social media, something is following you: ads. Their creators seem to know your income bracket, politics, age, location, medical conditions, and tastes in clothing, food, and romantic partners. As advertising firms use predictive AI to discover your hot buttons and generative AI to push them, your online world becomes an increasingly bespoke--and isolated--place. The fervid competition around personalization in digital marketing has given rise to an ecosystem of advertisers, media outlets, tech companies, and retailers who monetize your data while threatening the health of our media, discourse, and sense of community. In this urgent book, award-winning author Joseph Turow shows how we got here, and how to change direction. The Problem with Personalization shatters common beliefs about advertising history by showing that individualized ads are not new. Today's AI-enabled advertisers draw on past aspirations and assumptions about personalization while weaponizing data in unprecedented ways that drive social fragmentation and the disappearance of shared social reality. Informed by interviews with marketing insiders and covering the latest technology advances, Turow accessibly explains how artificial intelligence sifts through our data to tag and target us wherever we go with personalized videos, pictorial billboards, audio messages, and more. A logical next step for advertiser support is tailored entertainment and news, a shift that further destroys the common ground necessary for a functioning democracy. A must-read for all who care about the future of public discourse, The Problem with Personalization reveals how targeted advertising has altered how we're seen and what we see in return.

“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.

How Constraints Make Us Better

Inside the Box

Celebrated Harvard Kennedy School Professor and behavioral scientist Julia Minson has devoted her career to understanding the psychology of disagreement and its relevance to negotiations, conflict-resolution, and decision-making. In this revolutionary book, Minson reveals the counterintuitive secret to living a life of less drama and more impact How many times have you tried to resolve a dispute by overwhelming someone with a flood of facts, appealing to your counterpart’s emotions, or pointing out the hypocrisy of their arguments only to end up in an even deeper disagreement than when you started? Julia Minson’s two decades of research into the science of disagreement uncovers two insights that can change every disagreement: persuasion doesn’t work nearly as well as we think it does, and displaying receptiveness to opposing views is the key to not only preventing conflict, but also to forging stronger relationships and making better decisions. The science shows that receptive individuals don’t just fight less, they also get more done—they are better negotiators, better peacemakers, and yes, better influencers than the rest of us. Through original research and case studies, How to Disagree Better will show you: <ul><li>Why persuasion doesn’t work as well as you think it does</li><li>How you can reach better conflict outcomes simply by signaling receptiveness</li><li>That disagreeing well is a skill all of us can learn</li><li>How to apply these ideas at home with your partner and kids, as well as at work in your negotiations and decision-making</li></ul> By practicing receptiveness, you’ll see your conflicts soften, your conversations deepen, and your relationships grow stronger. You will create a richer, wiser, kinder life for yourself and for those around you—and you will find them agreeing with you a little more often, too.

How to Disagree Better

How contemporary artist Glenn Ligon’s expansive body of work mines American history and literature to ask critical questions about modern culture. OCTOBER Files: Glenn Ligon presents the first compilation of critical discourse on the multimedia work of one of the most influential American artists of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Often citing or annotating past literary (e.g., James Baldwin), artistic (e.g., Andy Warhol), and musical (e.g., Steve Reich) interventions, Ligon’s practice imaginatively explores the contradictions of speech, vision, authorship, identity, blackness, and belonging in works that are at once historically resonant and materially sensuous. Spanning Ligon’s emergence in the postmodern multicultural milieu of New York in the late 1980s and early ‘90s, his starring turns at Documenta, the Venice Biennale, and other international exhibitions of the 2000–2010s, and his formative impact on both new and canonical art histories, this volume provides a comprehensive accounting of the questions central to his work in painting, sculpture, video, installation, and print. With texts by writers from Wayne Koestenbaum to Rizvana Bradley, this File not only plumbs the depths of Ligon’s oeuvre but also models the various approaches to critical writing that have defined art and culture of the past 30 years.

Unmasking Safety's Myth of Individualism unveils a critical gap in current safety thinking: safety is not solely an individual responsibility, but a social outcome that entails collective action and thinking. Focusing on individual responsibility often translates into individual blame (most often called accountability) and is usually accompanied by a reluctance to recognize the psychosocial harm that leads to physical and emotional injuries. The cost of this oversimplification is that we miss the crucial role of psychological well-being and social dynamics.This book encourages us not to dismiss the importance of safety management systems, but to expose their limitations. Along with practical pointers, it advocates for a relationship-centered evolution that prioritizes human connection to break through the current status quo and reduce serious injuries and fatalities. The focus on relationship-centered leadership and the critique of an exclusively individualistic or physical focus is timely and relevant. The book challenges leaders to rethink their approach to safety, moving beyond over-reliance on individual responsibility and embracing a relationship-centered model that fosters collective action and psychological wellbeing. It provides a blueprint where leaders act as catalysts for change, guiding and supporting their teams to achieve shared safety goals. Unlike traditional approaches, this book explores the crucial role of social dynamics and relational leadership in creating truly safe workplaces. It offers specific strategies for fostering communication and building trust. Additionally, this book provides valuable insights into the role of OHS advisors from a social perspective. It explores how leaders can effectively leverage the H&amp;S function by understanding the challenges OHS professionals face in influencing organizational culture. Finally, it offers practical advice and strategies for executives and managers as well as for OHS advisors on navigating hierarchical structures and effectively drive safety improvements.This book is written for all safety leaders, executives and safety professionals. It could also have a role in supplementary reading for graduate programs.

Africa stands at a critical juncture in its development trajectory, grappling with the twin challenges of climate vulnerability and persistent socio-economic inequality. As global attention shifts towards sustainable development and climate action, there is growing recognition that Africa's green transition must be inclusive, innovative, and financially viable. However, access to climate finance and support for green entrepreneurship remain underdeveloped across much of the continent, limiting the realisation of its vast potential for sustainable growth. This book explores how innovative financial instruments and entrepreneurial models can drive Africa's green economy agenda.Drawing on case studies, policy analysis, and African-led practices, it examines the transformative roles of green bonds, impact investing, blended finance, and digital financial tools in supporting climate-aligned ventures. It also interrogates the institutional, regulatory, and capacity challenges that hinder the scaling of green entrepreneurship and proposes practical pathways for reform. The book gives prominence to African agencies and actors, showcasing how local stakeholders, particularly women, youth, and community-based enterprises, are crafting context-sensitive solutions that bridge environmental sustainability with economic inclusion. It emphasises the need to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, mobilise domestic and international capital, and align national policy frameworks with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to accelerate a just green transition. Further, the book offers a rare Africa-centred perspective, highlighting local innovations and solutions in green finance, financial inclusion, and sustainable entrepreneurship in Africa.This book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, development practitioners, financial institutions, and innovation hubs interested in Africa's sustainable future.

From award-winning journalist and bestselling author Jennifer Wallace comes Mattering—a landmark book that introduces a transformative new framework to confront the loneliness, burnout, and lack of purpose so many of us face today. In this groundbreaking work, Wallace makes an urgent case: mattering—the feeling that we are valued and have an opportunity to add value—is a core human need, as essential to our well-being as food and water. And yet, in today’s world, that fundamental need is going unmet, with perilous consequences. As mental and social health crises surge, we often blame social media, the pace of modern life, and polarizing politics. But beneath these issues lies a deeper crisis, what Wallace calls “an erosion of mattering.”&nbsp; With her signature warmth and insight, Wallace weaves together research and deeply moving stories of mattering lost and regained. From burned-out employees to overwhelmed caregivers to people grappling with grief or struggling through a destabilizing transition, Mattering explores how our lives are transformed when we are reminded, in small and intentional ways, that we are valued and that we have value to offer. Wallace provides the essential elements to building what she calls our “mattering core”: recognizing your impact, being relied on (but not too much), feeling prioritized, and being truly known and invested in. Strengthening this core helps us reconnect to our sense of purpose, deepen our relationships, and navigate life’s uncertainties and challenges with greater resilience.&nbsp; For readers of Brené Brown, David Brooks, and Adam Grant, Mattering is a rare, culture-shifting book that offers both a diagnosis and a remedy. With a clear road map and actionable takeaways, Wallace reveals how to unlock this powerful force within ourselves and how to build cultures of mattering in our homes, workplaces, and communities. &nbsp; Mattering is both a call to action and a blueprint for living a meaningful life and creating a world we so urgently need.
