7 Steps to Move Beyond Your Painful Past and Manifest Your Brightest Future

What's True About You

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.

Ordinary Days and Tender Places

Career Comedown

Most leadership books tell you what great leaders do.
This one tells you why it works-and why most change efforts don't.
Somewhere between 60 and 70 percent of organizational change initiatives fail. Not because the strategy was wrong. Not because the leaders weren't committed. But because the people responsible for leading change didn't understand the one thing that determines whether transformation sticks or collapses:
Human beings resist change for predictable, neurological reasons-and most leaders are fighting those reasons instead of working with them.
The Science of Leadership Transformation is the book that changes how you lead change. Drawing on more than sixty years of peer-reviewed research in neuroscience, behavioral economics, organizational psychology, and social science, it gives leaders the evidence-based framework that separates the 30 percent of transformations that succeed from the 70 percent that don't.
This is not motivational content dressed up as research. Every claim is sourced. Every finding is accurately represented. And the implications are specific enough to change what you do on Monday morning.
Here is what the research actually shows:
The single biggest driver of team engagement is not culture programs, compensation, or leadership vision-it's the immediate manager. Gallup's data from thirty million employees across 195 countries shows managers explain the majority of why some teams are deeply engaged and others are not.
Change doesn't spread uniformly. It moves through populations in a mathematically predictable sequence-and research shows that genuine commitment from just 25 percent of the relevant population is sufficient to tip an entire organizational culture, rapidly and permanently.
The human brain processes organizational change as physical danger. The same neural circuits that evolved to protect us from predators activate when roles shift, hierarchies change, or certainty disappears. Leaders who understand the five specific threat triggers-and how to address them-produce measurably better outcomes than those who don't.
Culture is not values on a wall. It is the aggregate of habitual behaviors that people enact automatically. Changing culture means changing habits-and habits live in a part of the brain that willpower cannot reliably override.
Transformational leadership produces effects roughly double those of management by reward and consequence-across every outcome studied in one of the most cited meta-analyses in organizational psychology.
Twenty-one chapters. Sixty years of research. One integrated framework.
You will learn the mathematics of how change spreads and how many committed people it takes to make it inevitable. You will understand the psychology of why people resist even beneficial change-and what actually moves them. You will have the neuroscience of threat response, habit formation, flow states, and psychological safety explained in terms specific enough to act on. And you will see how engagement, tribal culture, participation, and organizational measurement work together as the foundation that either sustains or undermines everything else.
Ideal for: Executives, senior leaders, managers, change agents, MBA students, organizational development professionals, and anyone who has ever led a transformation and wondered why it was harder than it should have been.

Love is humankind's supreme gift, our spiritual center and our guiding light. This inspiring essay by Paulo Coelho, the internationally bestselling author of The Alchemist, teaches us how to embrace it.The Supreme Gift is an invitation for reflection, a clear and concise response to life's biggest questions. Inspired by a 19th century sermon by Henry Drummond offering a deeper understanding of love, here Coelho explains love as the culmination of nine elements, which we can incorporate into our everyday lives for an instant connection to life's most important gift: <ol><li>patience,</li><li>kindness,</li><li>generosity,</li><li>humility,</li><li>gentleness,</li><li>dedication,</li><li>tolerance,</li><li>sincerity, and</li><li>innocence.</li></ol> In The Supreme Gift, Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist, a fable of following your dream and one of Oprah’s “Best Self-Help Books of a Generation,” offers a real and powerful message that will help us incorporate love into our daily life and experience all its transformational power.Freely adapted from the text by Henry Drummond

The Psychology of Money
The Psychology of Money: Unveiling the Secrets of Financial Behavior by Dr. Maxwell Shimba is not a conventional personal finance manual promising get-rich-quick schemes or secret stock tips. Rather, it is a profound interdisciplinary excavation of the human relationship with money, drawing from behavioral economics, neuroscience, clinical psychology, sociology, and philosophy. The book's central thesis is revolutionary yet simple: money is fundamentally a psychological artifact, a vessel into which we pour our deepest fears, hopes, identities, and narratives. Every financial decision-from the mundane morning coffee purchase to the monumental retirement portfolio allocation-is a window into our internal world, shaped by childhood imprints, cultural conditioning, and ancient neural wiring. Dr. Shimba systematically dismantles the myth of Homo economicus, the perfectly rational actor, and replaces it with a far more complex and compassionate portrait of the human being navigating an increasingly complex financial landscape.
The book is structured as an expedition through ten interconnected territories of financial psychology, beginning with the foundational architecture of the money mindset. Dr. Shimba guides readers through an archaeological dig of their earliest money memories, the cognitive biases that systematically distort judgment, and the emotional underpinnings-fear, greed, regret, shame-that often override our best intentions. The work is grounded in rigorous scholarship, from Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory to the neuroscientific mapping of the brain on money, yet it remains intensely practical. Each chapter builds upon the last, moving from individual psychology into the powerful currents of social influence, the intricate dance between money and meaning, and the psychological preparation required for life's great transitions: marriage, parenthood, career volatility, and retirement. The twenty-year case study contrasting Michael's scarcity mindset with David's abundance orientation serves as a haunting, instructive parable of how internal architecture shapes external destiny.
What distinguishes this work from other books on financial psychology is its unflinching engagement with the frontiers of our moment. Dr. Shimba devotes substantial attention to the digital transformation of money-the algorithmic agents now co-piloting our investment decisions, the frictionless interfaces that have anesthetized the "pain of paying," the ethical quagmires of fintech dark patterns and algorithmic bias, and the psychological challenges of the gig economy and cryptocurrency speculation. Yet the book never succumbs to technological determinism or Luddite nostalgia. Instead, it charts a third path: the way of the Integrator, who possesses dual citizenship in both the Digital Republic of algorithmic fluency and the Republic of Inner Experience, where timeless human values reside. The future of money psychology, Dr. Shimba argues, is not a prediction but a practice-the daily, disciplined integration of the Technologist and the Philosopher-Psychologist.

“Mind-expanding . . . The Score is so exuberant and readable that the depth and seriousness of its insights almost sneak up on you.” —Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “Brilliant and wildly original . . . The Score is socially attentive, historically literate and imbued with sensual glee.” —Becca Rothfeld, The Washington Post “I give this excellent book five stars.” —Stuart Jeffries, Financial Times A philosophy of games to help us win back control over what we value The philosopher C. Thi Nguyen—one of the leading experts on the philosophy of games and the philosophy of data—takes us deep into the heart of games, and into the depths of bureaucracy, to see how scoring systems shape our desires. Games are the most important art form of our era. They embody the spirit of free play. They show us the subtle beauty of action everywhere in life in video games, sports, and boardgames—but also cooking, gardening, fly-fishing, and running. They remind us that it isn’t always about outcomes, but about how glorious it feels to be doing the thing. And the scoring systems help get us there, by giving us new goals to try on. Scoring systems are also at the center of our corporations and bureaucracies—in the form of metrics and rankings. They tell us exactly how to measure our success. They encourage us to outsource our values to an external authority. And they push on us to value simple, countable things. Metrics don’t capture what really matters; they only capture what’s easy to measure. The price of that clarity is our independence. The Score asks us is this the game you really want to be playing?
