The WING ZONE Story

“An inspiring blueprint to overcome challenges—and thrive” (Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO of Thrive Global), on how to turn other’s and your own doubt into rocket fuel to achieve your dreams, from entrepreneur, CEO, and healthcare investor Surbhi Sarna. The very qualities that make you an outlier are, in fact, your strengths. Or so Surbhi Sarna discovered after a teenage cancer scare inspired her to reimagine healthcare, founding a medical start-up to detect early ovarian cancer. In Without a Doubt, she shares how she proved the doubters wrong. As a young, brown woman without a medical degree or Ivy-league or Silicon Valley contacts—and who had felt different throughout her life—she was often overlooked and underrated. Undeterred, Sarna used the naysayers as ammunition to help her surpass expectations—and achieve her dreams. Without a Doubt is her powerful story of becoming a leader without an MBA, networking without a network, and raising funds when she didn't know a single venture capitalist, teaching you how to do the same. Sarna led an all-star team to develop a life-saving medical device, sold her business for $275 million, and became a partner at Y Combinator, one of the most successful venture firms in the world. Using her own experience, she shows you how to face setbacks, not let impossible standards get in the way, lead empathetically, empower others to think differently, and how to convince the right people to help you accomplish your goals. Without a Doubt reveals that your power lies in recognizing the qualities that make you different and leveraging them to pursue your dreams.

How to Go from Underrated to Unbeatable

Without a Doubt

A Memoir

Without Prejudice

A freewheeling and riveting memoir from media honcho Tom Freston that takes us behind the scenes of his global adventures—from hitchhiking around the world, to running a clothing export company out of India and Afghanistan, to cofounding MTV, to becoming CEO of MTV Networks, then CEO of Viacom, then later returning to work in Africa and Afghanistan. Tom Freston’s path to the C-suite was decidedly non-traditional. After getting his MBA, he bartended his way through the United States and the Caribbean, sparking a lifelong passion for travel. After a brief stint on the fast track at an ad agency, he chucked it all and headed to the Sahara Desert and beyond. Entranced by India and Afghanistan, he stayed on for eight years and launched his first big success, Hindu Kush, a company that designed and manufactured contemporary clothing for export to America and other countries. Freston’s next chapter followed his other passion: music. He joined the small original team that launched MTV where he swiftly climbed the ladder, eventually overseeing not only MTV but also Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, VH1, CMT, and other iconic networks. He built a creative powerhouse that transformed global popular culture in cable’s all-conquering heyday. In this unique memoir of risk-taking, rule-breaking, and warm cultural exchanges, Freston shows how to be successful at living your life on your own terms.

The Highway Home: A Memoir of Ambition, Sacrifice, Leadership, and Finding Your Way Back

What does success really cost?

The Highway Home is a powerful memoir about ambition, sacrifice, resilience, family, and the
hidden price of a successful corporate life. Moving between heavy manufacturing floors,
international airports, corporate apartments, midnight highways, and the glow of computer
monitors, this deeply personal journey explores what happens when professional success comes at
the cost of presence, memories, and time with the people who matter most.

For a generation of professionals whose lives are measured in flight schedules, international time
zones, business trips, and long stretches away from home, this book offers an honest look at the
brutal mathematics of career ambition. It follows the journey from demanding industrial
environments and challenging domestic markets to managing global operations across the Middle
East, Africa, and Europe.

Along the way, the author confronts the realities of corporate competition, including the destructive
"Crab Mentality" that can make professional growth even more difficult. Yet this is not simply a story
about climbing the corporate ladder. It is a story about surviving setbacks, navigating uncertainty,
leading through adversity, and rebuilding from the ground up.

Through memories of family, the loss of childhood experiences, a mother's missing gold bangles,
industrial grease, cascading lines of code, and countless journeys between destinations, The
Highway Home connects the personal and professional sides of a life shaped by relentless ambition.

Written across international departure gates, highways, and moments of solitude, this memoir
examines the emotional consequences of chasing financial security and professional recognition. It
asks difficult but important questions: How much are we willing to sacrifice for success? What
happens when achievement creates distance from the people we love? And when everything is
finally accomplished, where do we truly belong?

More than a corporate memoir or career retrospective, The Highway Home is a story of resilience,
leadership, family, sacrifice, personal transformation, and the search for meaningful success.

It is for professionals navigating demanding careers, entrepreneurs building their futures, leaders
facing setbacks, and anyone who has ever wondered whether the destination is worth the journey.

Because true success may not be defined by the number of countries visited, the prestige of a job
title, or the miles accumulated on a boarding pass.

Sometimes, success is simply finding your way home.

Routledge Studies in Employment Relations

This is the era of flexibility. Under constant pressure to be adaptable, organizations increasingly adopt employment practices such as zero-hours contracts, the casualization of the workforce and the use of temporary and agency labour. These flexible practices are central to debates about the changing nature of job quality and its causes, trends and consequences.Arguing that job quality is central to understanding contemporary work, this book explores the internal and external pressures for flexibility in workplaces, professions and sectors and how this pressure shapes workers' experiences of job quality. By studying job quality dynamics via case studies from organizations and occupations in the UK, Poland, Belgium and Sweden, the volumes illustrates the diversity of practices and experiences, as well as market pressures and institutional arrangements which effect working lives. Finally, the editors propose a policy debate on the new concept "flexiquality" - a combination of flexibility and job quality that can be beneficial for both management and workers.

As employment practices such as zero-hours contracts, casualization of the workforce and the use of temporary and agency labour become prevalent, this book explores the pressures for workforce flexibility and how this pressure shapes workers’ experiences of job quality.
