A silent epidemic is taking place.

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

When life disrupts work, leaders need to know what to do next. This practical guide shows&nbsp;leaders at organizations of every size, from small businesses to large corporations, how to support employees through hard moments while strengthening trust across the workplace. This is the book to read before the crisis happens, so you can respond with confidence, care, and clarity when it does. Life disruptions do not stay outside the workplace. Grief, illness, caregiving, divorce, infertility, and other major life events shape how people show up at work, yet most organizations still do not prepare leaders for these moments. Even caring managers can freeze, unsure what to say, how to help, or how to balance support with team needs. The challenge is not whether a life disruption will affect your team. It is when. The leaders who build trust in difficult moments are the ones who prepare before those moments arrive. Drawing on original PhD research, interviews with employees and leaders, and nearly two decades of experience advising employers on benefits and workplace strategy, Dr. Nataliya Boychenko Stone gives leaders a practical guide for responding with confidence and care. She shows readers how to <ul><li>understand what support an employee actually needs,</li><li>connect people with the right workplace resources,</li><li>adjust work with clarity and flexibility,</li><li>stay present after the first crisis moment, and</li><li>support employees while maintaining accountability.</li></ul> This practical framework helps managers, HR professionals, and organizational leaders navigate life's most challenging moments at work while strengthening trust, loyalty, and performance across their teams.

Das Buch behandelt das umfangreiche Gebiet der Medizin in einigen Schwerpunktthemen und weist auf ökonomische Zusammenhänge zu diesen Themen hin.&nbsp;Die Notwendigkeit, medizinische mit ökonomischer Forschung und Lehre zu verknüpfen, wird nicht mehr in Frage gestellt, da die Kosten im Gesundheitswesen ausufern. Ein aktuelles Beispiel für überproportional steigende Kosten im Gesundheitswesen sind die Ausgaben für Medikamente, die stärker zunehmen als das Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP). Die Kostendiskussion muss daher weiter auf allen Ebenen des Gesundheitswesens vom niedergelassenen Arzt bis zum Krankenhaus, von der pharmazeutischen Industrie bis zu den Spitzenverbänden der Selbstverwaltung geführt werden, da die wirtschaftlichen Konsequenzen einer rationalen medizinischen Versorgung analysiert, kritisch diskutiert, bewertet und transparent dargestellt werden müssen.&nbsp;Es fehlt bisher ein Basislehrbuch der Medizin für Ökonomen, also ein Buch, das medizinische Inhalte auf das für Gesundheitsökonomen relevante Maß begrenzt und dabei versucht, medizinische Maßnahmen im Zusammenhang mit Kostenbewertungen zu veranschaulichen.&nbsp;Das wesentliche Anliegen des vorliegenden Buches ist daher die Verbindung ärztlichen Denkens und Handelns mit ökonomischen Überlegungen, da der Dialog zwischen Ökonomen und Mediziner nur auf der Basis gemeinsamen Wissens effizient geführt werden kann.

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Burnout can’t be solved with just perks or stress-reduction workshops. It's solved by changing how leaders engage their teams—a practical shift that requires no new resources. Grounded in peer-reviewed research, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in everyday workplace conversations can spark energy, revive exhausted teams, and build workplaces where people thrive. Every leader is dealing with burnout and looking for something they can actually do tomorrow morning, and this is it. In this book, leadership scholar Amy Young, with Kim Cameron, reveals how everyday communication creates relational energy, the powerful force that fuels engagement, creativity, resilience, health and well-being, and performance across teams. Drawing on interviews with energizing leaders and weaving in supporting peer-reviewed research, Young unlocks the secrets to thriving amid uncertainty and disruption due to AI automation, fragile labor markets, cultural divisiveness, and relentless workplace demands. Through vivid real-world examples, you'll discover how energizing leaders sustain their own vitality while lifting their teams at the same time, simply by rethinking how they approach everyday conversations. You'll learn how to turn those ordinary interactions into extraordinary ones, providing a practical, no-cost antidote to workplace stress and burnout. In this book, you will learn <ul><li>how relational energy promotes workplace well-being and performance, creating the foundation for sustainable organizational success;</li><li>strategies energizing leaders use to maintain their own energy levels while navigating the same modern workplace pressures that impact their teams;</li><li>how to have workplace conversations that generate healthy perceptions of challenge and stress and reduce burnout while building resilience and team solidarity;</li><li>specific language choices (wording, pronoun selection, questions, and declarative statements) that empower employees, elevate teams, and drive productivity; and</li><li>how to acknowledge hard realities while building genuine hope and resilience, avoiding toxic positivity that saps energy.</li></ul> Practical, research driven, and immediately applicable, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in language can create extraordinary impact, recharging people, teams, and entire organizations.

How to Beat Burnout and Ignite Your Team

Relational Energy

What if the key to success in a world of constant change was never really grit, or persistence - but curiosity? The modern era asks us to optimise ourselves into corners and build lives that run predictably while we stall inside. And the very blueprint we've been handed for success - one of relentless specialization - is not only incomplete, but completely counterproductive to a fulfilling life.Fusing groundbreaking research, elite business insights, and thrilling studies of history's greatest polymaths, Harvard educator Dr. T. Alexander Puutio uncovers the simple truth behind resilient, fulfilling lives: they're built in loops, not ladders.From Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs, the people who shape the future don't follow straight lines - they explore widely, quit strategically, and stay flexible enough to keep becoming someone new.In a world that breaks ladders as fast as you can climb them, the code of curiosity offers a powerful model for thriving in uncertainty. Exploiting a loop of exploration, feedback and reinvention, curiosity is a force that supercharges our brain's capacity to learn and innovate. Those who can harness the cycle unlock not just a serious strategic edge, but a better way to cultivate a meaningful life.A joyful book that speaks to the meaning vacuum of modern life, The Curiosity Code upends the traditional pillars of self-development. Instead, it offers a bold, practical blueprint for navigating change, reclaiming agency, and building a life that evolves as fast as the world around you.

The Hidden Advantage of Curiosity in a World of Constant Change

The Curiosity Code

Turn your difference into a repeatable advantage for leading change The Room Needs You: Let Your Difference Drive Change-The Connect, Trust, Grow Method presents a field-tested method for driving transformation when you are not the expert in the room. Jennifer Langton, the NFL's former Senior Vice President of Player Health and Innovation, came to player safety out of finance-no medical, scientific, or engineering training-and led a decade of work that took the league from the era of League of Denial to record-low injuries. She distills that experience into the Connect, Trust, Grow (CTG) Method: a three-move sequence for connecting the experts, earning trust with evidence no one can dispute, and growing a win into a standard that holds after you leave. The Room Needs You follows the work in the order it happened-learning first to react to injury, then to prevent it, then to predict it-from a partnership with GE and the Department of Defense to the AI-powered Digital Athlete built with AWS, which now predicts injury risk for every player in the league. Underneath it runs the story of the girl on the boys' lacrosse team, the athlete who lost her mother and her knee in the same year and turned both into fuel, and the finance executive who asked her way into a role that did not exist-because the method works on you before it works on the room. Readers will also find: <ul> <li>A three-move sequence-Connect, Trust, Grow-run first on yourself, starting with what you are good at and what fuels you, then on the room, with the questions to answer at each move</li> <li>The Langton Roadmap: a one-page method for making the case for the role that should exist, inside the organization you are already in</li> <li>A clear distinction between the Expert Path, which delivers the science, and the Human Path, which delivers adoption-and why the human path matters more as technology gets more capable</li> <li>Practical guidance on reaching the people who have to adopt your work, setting an evidence standard, and turning a success into a standard that runs without you</li> <li>Real-world lessons from one of sports' most visible transformations, including the NFL-AWS partnership and the day Langton stopped the room The Room Needs You serves leaders, change agents, and anyone building with data or AI who has to move experts, skeptics, and institutions they do not control. It speaks just as directly to anyone at a turning point-a career pivot, a step into leadership, the chance to grow into something larger-and to the athlete leaving the game, the person coming back from an injury or a loss, the student choosing a path: anyone asking what am I good at now, because the method begins with that question. Langton's method equips anyone who has felt out of place in a room to make their difference the reason they belong there.</li> </ul>

Let Your Difference Drive Change -- the Connect, Trust, Grow Method

The Room Needs You

Modern leaders face intense pressure to move fast and look decisive, often resorting to rapid restructuring and sudden pivots to signal strength. But this obsession with speed is a trap. It forces executives to rely on past assumptions rather than actual observation, turning experience into hasty judgment. When you act on incomplete fragments - like anecdotal evidence or surface-level dashboards -&nbsp; you inadvertently trigger a cycle of temporary fixes, organizational fatigue and strategic drift. This concise book introduces a critical discipline for the modern era: pausing to see an organization clearly before attempting to change it. Moving beyond abstract theory, Clarity Before Change provides executives with practical tools-like the "Organization Twin"-to map capabilities without bias and replace organizational blame with productive curiosity. Far from preaching hesitation, this research-backed guide delivers a blueprint for precise, intelligent transformation, showing that the ultimate competitive advantage is strategic composure under complexity.
