How Coca-Cola makes Americans sick—and makes sure we don’t know it. If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don’t find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America’s health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.

Attention Seeker

If you’re tired of one-size-fits-all leadership advice—this book is for you. If you’ve ever been told that you don’t fit the mold. That you don’t look like a leader or act like a leader. That you’re too much, or maybe not enough. The Antihero Advantage gives you permission to throw conventional leadership wisdom out the window, trust your instincts, and stop performing for approval or to meet some unrealistic standard. Instead, you’ll learn how to transform your flaws, fears, and doubts into tactical advantages. Bestselling author, communication strategist, and founder of Art of Coaching Brett Bartholomew tells it straight: You become a more effective leader when you learn how to channel your darker impulses with awareness, discipline, and strategy. Because real change rarely comes from playing it safe or trying to fit a mold. Sometimes you have to be willing to be a misfit — an antihero. That means breaking a few rules, accepting that not everyone will like you, and developing the tools needed to handle difficult people and to face conflict in ways that drive progress. Modern leadership demands social agility, power fluency, and adaptability. The Antihero Advantage gives you the tools to operate in complex, morally gray environments without losing yourself in the process. Stop seeking approval. Stop waiting for certainty. Stop doubting yourself. Only then will you become the leader you were meant to be.

“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?

As all well-designed games show, when these principles are applied, you’ll always feel like you’re winning.
