Prompt Your Life

A Barack Obama Summer Reading Pick 2025
From New York Times bestselling author and television and podcast host, a powerful, wide-angle reckoning with how the assault from attention capitalism on our minds and our hearts has reordered our politics and the very fabric of our society.
We all feel it - the distraction, the loss of focus, the addictive focus on the wrong things for too long. We bump into the zombies on their phones in the street, and sometimes they're us. We stare in pity at the four people at the table in the restaurant, all on their phones, and then we feel the buzz in our pocket. Something has changed utterly: for most of human history, the boundary between public and private has been clear, at least in theory. Now, as Chris Hayes writes, 'With the help of a few tech firms, we basically tore it down in about a decade.' Hayes argues that we are in the midst of an epoch-defining transition: attention has become a commodified resource extracted from us, and from which we are increasingly alienated.
Because there is a breaking point. Sirens are designed to compel us, and now they are going off in our bedrooms and kitchens at all hours of the day and night, doing the bidding of vast empires, the most valuable companies in history, built on harvesting human attention. The Sirens' Call is the big book we all need to wrest back control of our lives, our politics, and our future.

How Attention Became the World’s Most Endangered Resource

The Sirens’ Call

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.An unorthodox guide to making things worth making, from 'the father of the iPod and iPhone' and the creator of Nest.Everyone deserves a mentor.For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:Here's how to think about choosing a job. Here's how to be a better manager. Here's how to approach design. Here's how to start a company. Here's how to run it.Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.PRAISE FOR BUILD This is the most fun - and the most fascinating - memoir of curiosity and invention that I've ever read.'Malcolm Gladwell, Host of the Revisionist History podcast. Author of Outliers and Talking to Strangers.Whether you're looking to build a great product, a creative team, a strong culture, or a meaningful career, Tony's guidance will get you thinking and rethinking.'Adam Grant, Author of Think Again &amp; Host of the TED podcast WorkLife

The Power of Doing Less in a Workplace that Demands More

Relentless

The reason you feel stuck isn't because you are not working hard enough or lack discipline. It's because your vision, strategy and habits are misaligned. Founder and entrepreneur Hermione Olivia knows what it's like to live a life that looks successful from the outside: packed schedules, never-ending to-do lists, saying yes to everything. But when did success become about ticking every box? When was the last time we asked ourselves whether this life is actually the one we want to live? After walking away from a six-figure CEO role to answer this very question, Hermione has discovered that true success doesn't come from doing more, but from designing our lives and careers with true intention. CEO Yourself is the culmination of that journey; a unique model of personal leadership that blends insights and practical tools to:<ul><li>build a vision unique to you</li><li>develop a personal strategy that executes achievable milestones</li><li>grow into the person you were always meant to be with supporting habits that create momentum</li><li>step into consistent and sustainable personal growth</li></ul>Are you ready to take charge?

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

The Instant New York Times bestseller 'Masterful' - Adam Grant 'So interesting' - Pandora Sykes 'Wonderful' - Angela Duckworth An essential read to become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Range. We are constantly told to 'keep our options open' and 'think outside the box' - but what if endless freedom is exactly the problem? Drowning in a dizzying excess of choice often leads to dread, anxiety, and burnout. In Inside the Box, award-winning author David Epstein reveals a powerful truth: to thrive, you don't need more freedom. You need to build your own box. From navigating an uncertain future to building a life, intentional boundaries breed brilliance: <ul><li>Relationships: Couples who consciously commit are more satisfied than those who simply 'keep their options open'.</li><li>Artificial Intelligence: A lack of advanced microchips forced engineers at DeepSeek into brilliant workarounds, producing a model to rival ChatGPT.</li><li>Business: General Magic - a tech startup with limitless funding - failed spectacularly because they refused to set internal limits.</li><li>Science: The periodic table wasn't born from boundless genius, but the strict demands of a textbook deadline.</li><li>Music: Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett produced the bestselling solo piano album of all time by adapting to a broken piano.</li></ul> Constraints are not obstacles - they are powerful tools we can wield. Weaving gripping storytelling with cognitive science, Inside the Box proves the secret to expanding your potential isn't chasing endless options. It's taking back control and choosing the right limits. 'David Epstein's first two books - The Sports Gene and Range - were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best . . . I won't think about my own work the same way ever again' - Malcolm Gladwell

The Hidden Power of Embracing Limits

Inside the Box

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.

Best Laid Plans

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.
