Negotiating with Trump

Lessons on Power, Influence, and Dealing with Extreme Bargainers

A staggering examination of how America's wealthiest infiltrated the government and allied with dictators, transforming the U.S. from democracy to oligarchy. For years, a small group of billionaires has amassed increasing power, steering American politics for their own benefit. Many of these figures are familiar. There's Elon Musk, who has used his wealth to help place Donald Trump back in the White House. There's Mark Zuckerberg, who has used his resources to transform America into his own digital playground. There's Jared Kushner, who has used family connections to gain more political power than he ever dreamed of. There is only one word to describe such extreme levels of wealth, avarice, and political control: Oligarchy. But the oligarchs are not working alone. From China to Russia to Saudi Arabia and beyond, many of these men have cultivated alliances with America's most notorious adversaries, opening the doors for autocrats around the world to sink their teeth into the U.S. Placing profit over patriotism, they have transformed into vectors of influence for some of the world's most repulsive dictatorships, all of whom are trying to create a world dominated by imperialism and tyranny. Connecting everything from the devastation in Ukraine to destruction in Gaza to destabilization in Greenland, these oligarchs have transformed American policy and American politics into their own private fiefdoms, regardless of what Americans actually want. In United States of Oligarchy, Casey Michel illuminates a story decades in the making, from the earliest efforts to corral and combat American oligarchs, to the new crop of individuals monopolizing American democracy and making the world safe for dictatorship - all for their own benefit. The oligarchs have risen, and are attempting to reign. The only question remaining is whether or not it's too late to stop them.

Warum sich in Taiwan jederzeit die Zukunft der internationalen Ordnung neu entscheiden kann - und was wir über den Konflikt mit China wissen müssen 
 Während die Welt auf China blickt, wird Taiwan oft übersehen. Dabei leben hier Menschen, die seit Generationen darum ringen, gehört zu werden – zwischen kolonialem Erbe, chinesischem Druck und demokratischem Aufbruch. Vieles, was wir über Taiwan zu wissen glauben, ist geprägt von alten Narrativen, gezielter Propaganda und hartnäckigen Missverständnissen. 
 
 David Demes, der seit über 10 Jahren in Taiwan lebt und als Journalist arbeitet, will diese Perspektive korrigieren. Sein Buch erzählt die Geschichten jener, die im Schatten der Großmächte um Sichtbarkeit, Sicherheit und Selbstbestimmung kämpfen. Es erklärt, wie das Land sich auf eine mögliche Invasion Chinas vorbereitet. Und es zeigt, warum der Kampf um Taiwans Zukunft auch uns in Deutschland und Europa betrifft – politisch, wirtschaftlich und moralisch.

Wie der Inselstaat sich gegenüber China behauptet und was die Welt daraus lernen kann

Taiwan: Das Land, das es nicht geben darf

Emotions are messy. Life is full of friction. Here’s what to do about it.

You’ve felt it — the meeting that goes sideways after one wrong word, the feedback that lands wrong no matter how carefully you planned it, the relationship that keeps getting stuck in the same loop. You’ve felt it inside yourself too: the moment you react before you mean to, the pressure that makes everything harder than it should be, the Sunday evening dread that has nothing to do with the actual work.

That tension has a name. It’s friction — and most of us have never been taught what to do with it.

In Friction, leadership researchers and organizational psychologists Maggie Sass and Ross Blankenship
make the case that friction isn’t random, it isn’t weakness, and it isn’t just “bad communication.” It’s a predictable force that shows up in three distinct places — inside you, between people, and in the systems and structures around you — and it’s quietly shaping everything from your own performance to your
team’s culture.

Drawing on findings from their National Emotions Survey of U.S. working adults, Sass and Blankenship introduce
a practical framework for understanding how emotional tension actually works at work, and what you can do to reduce the costly kind while using productive friction to sharpen thinking, deepen trust, and improve outcomes.

The heart of the book is 45 experiments, organized across all three types of friction, that you can put to
work immediately. Strategies like “Breathe Before the Story,” “Set the Temperature with Your First Sentence,” “Listen for What’s at Stake,” and “Premium Strategy, Regular Fuel” give you concrete experiments to try in the moments when friction shows up and you need to respond on purpose rather than on instinct.

Friction will help you:
<ul><li>Spot the warning signs of escalating tension before it becomes a
problem</li><li>Handle pressure without passing it on to your team</li><li>Have the hard conversations you’ve been avoiding </li><li>Build the kind of trust that makes your team resilient, not just
compliant</li><li>Recognize when the system itself is creating friction, and what
to do about it</li><li>Lead with more intention in conditions that feel faster and less
forgiving than they used to</li></ul>

Friction is for anyone who has ever been caught off guard by their own reaction, or someone else’s. It’s for the newly promoted manager who’s discovering that the job is 80% emotional and no one ever told them. It’s for the seasoned leader who’s tired of advice that assumes they can be a robot or a saint. It’s for the HR partner, the executive coach, the L&amp;D director, and the facilitator who can feel a room’s energy shift but need new language to help them navigate changing dynamics. And it’s for anyone who has ever thought: Where is the user’s manual for this mess?

Most leadership books ask you to choose: work on yourself, fix your relationships, or change your culture. Friction shows you why all three are connected by emotion and gives you the tools to work on all of them at once, backed by a companion website and downloadable worksheets.

The goal isn’t to eliminate friction. The goal is to lead through it, better.

How people have reimagined the story of the ten plagues of Egypt, from antiquity to our own era of relentless catastrophe People have been telling and retelling stories about disasters for as long as they have been telling stories. One of the oldest of such stories is the ten plagues in the book of Exodus, the series of disasters that forced the Egyptians to liberate the Israelites. These plagues packed enough catastrophe to fill a series of summer blockbusters—rivers of blood, invasions of frogs and insects, mass disease, fiery hail, smothering darkness, and a midnight massacre of the firstborn. The story of the ten plagues resonates today, as we try to make sense of such calamities of modern life as pandemics, climate change, and war. In Disasters of Biblical Proportions, Steven Weitzman explores how people of later ages—artists, writers, activists, philosophers, believers and unbelievers alike—have reshaped the story of the ten plagues to give expression to their own trauma, outrage, guilt, humor, and hope. Tracing the interpretation and retelling of each plague across time and space, Weitzman uncovers how this ancient tale found new meaning among Jews, Christians, and Muslims and continues to shape how people today understand the present and envision the future. Even as it recounts the history of how the ten plagues have been reimagined, Disasters of Biblical Proportions is also a history of people’s search for shelter from the calamities of their own times—and of humanity’s striving for justice, freedom, and redemption.

The Ten Plagues Then, Now, and at the End of the World

Disasters of Biblical Proportions

In this revolutionary book, pioneering Harvard Kennedy School professor and behavioral scientist Julia Minson reveals the counterintuitive secret to a life of less drama and more impact. We are in a disagreement crisis. The average person would rather go to the dentist than have a twenty-minute conversation with someone that they strongly disagree with. Yet disagreement is both inevitable and essential for everything from navigating decisions at home to running innovative and agile companies to governing democratic societies. In How to Disagree Better, Minson brings to bear her decades of research into understanding the psychology of disagreement and its relevance to negotiations, conflict resolution, and decision-making, revealing the hidden skill that all the best mediators and negotiators share: displaying receptiveness to opposing views. The science shows that receptive individuals don't just fight less, they also get more done-they are better decision-makers, better peacemakers, and yes, better influencers than the rest of us. Through original research and case studies, How to Disagree Better will show you why traditional persuasion strategies don't work as well as you think they do, how you can bridge division and reach better outcomes simply by utilising receptiveness strategies, and that disagreeing better is a skill all of us can learn to apply at home, at work, and with our neighbors.

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the 21st century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.

 Nie war seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg so offensichtlich, welche Gefahren einem liberalen Europa drohen – und wie wenig Verlass auf alte Allianzen ist. Dies gilt ganz besonders für Deutschland und Amerika: Tiefenscharf und aus nächster Nähe analysiert Holger Stark, warum Trump keine Momentaufnahme ist, sondern etwas Neues. Und er sagt, worauf es jetzt ankommt:
 
 Auf der Grundlage von Gesprächen mit Regierenden und Ministern in Berlin, Brüssel und Washington rekonstruiert er die Fehler der vergangenen 25 Jahre – und entwirft ein Bild, wie eine Zukunft jenseits von Amerika aussehen könnte. Für Deutschland ist es an der Zeit, erwachsen zu werden. Es könnte ein zweiter Mauerfall-Moment werden.

Von hier an alleine Ohne Amerika kein Europa, ohne US-Soldaten keine Sicherheit – das war die Formel, die seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg galt. Mit Donald Trump geht diese Epoche unwiderruflich zu Ende. Die Amerikaner sind keine Freunde mehr. Für die Babyboomer und alle danach, die mit Jeans von Levi’s und Big Macs aufgewachsen sind, bedeutet dies das Ende eines Weltbildes.&nbsp;

Celebrated Harvard Kennedy School Professor and behavioral scientist Julia Minson has devoted her career to understanding the psychology of disagreement and its relevance to negotiations, conflict-resolution, and decision-making. In this revolutionary book, Minson reveals the counterintuitive secret to living a life of less drama and more impact How many times have you tried to resolve a dispute by overwhelming someone with a flood of facts, appealing to your counterpart’s emotions, or pointing out the hypocrisy of their arguments only to end up in an even deeper disagreement than when you started? Julia Minson’s two decades of research into the science of disagreement uncovers two insights that can change every disagreement: persuasion doesn’t work nearly as well as we think it does, and displaying receptiveness to opposing views is the key to not only preventing conflict, but also to forging stronger relationships and making better decisions. The science shows that receptive individuals don’t just fight less, they also get more done—they are better negotiators, better peacemakers, and yes, better influencers than the rest of us. Through original research and case studies, How to Disagree Better will show you: <ul><li>Why persuasion doesn’t work as well as you think it does</li><li>How you can reach better conflict outcomes simply by signaling receptiveness</li><li>That disagreeing well is a skill all of us can learn</li><li>How to apply these ideas at home with your partner and kids, as well as at work in your negotiations and decision-making</li></ul> By practicing receptiveness, you’ll see your conflicts soften, your conversations deepen, and your relationships grow stronger. You will create a richer, wiser, kinder life for yourself and for those around you—and you will find them agreeing with you a little more often, too.
