The Instant New York Times bestseller 'Masterful' - Adam Grant 'So interesting' - Pandora Sykes 'Wonderful' - Angela Duckworth An essential read to become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Range. We are constantly told to 'keep our options open' and 'think outside the box' - but what if endless freedom is exactly the problem? Drowning in a dizzying excess of choice often leads to dread, anxiety, and burnout. In Inside the Box, award-winning author David Epstein reveals a powerful truth: to thrive, you don't need more freedom. You need to build your own box. From navigating an uncertain future to building a life, intentional boundaries breed brilliance: <ul><li>Relationships: Couples who consciously commit are more satisfied than those who simply 'keep their options open'.</li><li>Artificial Intelligence: A lack of advanced microchips forced engineers at DeepSeek into brilliant workarounds, producing a model to rival ChatGPT.</li><li>Business: General Magic - a tech startup with limitless funding - failed spectacularly because they refused to set internal limits.</li><li>Science: The periodic table wasn't born from boundless genius, but the strict demands of a textbook deadline.</li><li>Music: Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett produced the bestselling solo piano album of all time by adapting to a broken piano.</li></ul> Constraints are not obstacles - they are powerful tools we can wield. Weaving gripping storytelling with cognitive science, Inside the Box proves the secret to expanding your potential isn't chasing endless options. It's taking back control and choosing the right limits. 'David Epstein's first two books - The Sports Gene and Range - were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best . . . I won't think about my own work the same way ever again' - Malcolm Gladwell

The Hidden Power of Embracing Limits

Inside the Box

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.

Levi's former CEO--who joined the company after a 28-year career at Procter &amp; Gamble, where dozens of his direct reports became CEOs of other companies--shares how to build great brands and ignite growth.Levi's was lost. For more than a decade, the company that changed how the world dressed had been stagnating--at one point near bankruptcy--as its iconic product, 501 jeans, faded into a nostalgic relic amid more-fashionable competitors.Fast-forward to today. Levi's are back and just about everywhere, from college campuses and concerts to workplaces and red carpets. Influencers style them. Taylor Swift sings about them, and Beyoncé and Post Malone's hit "Levii's Jeans" compares them to a lover's hug. To paraphrase British Vogue, the jeans beloved by James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Springsteen, and Kurt Cobain, as well as presidents and protestors, are once again part of the culture, worn by style icons like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, as well as moms and dads.This is the inspiring, instructive story of Levi's resurgence, from the CEO who led it.Chip Bergh was a die-hard Levi's fan when he was tapped to be CEO thanks to his track record leading successful brands at P&amp;G. In this brisk narrative, he reveals the most consequential decisions and the six timeless tenets of what he coins "brand-driven leadership" that fueled Levi's revival: origin stories matter; the brand is the business; marketing is an investment, not an expense; be customer obsessed; control how the brand shows up; and play the long game.With rich storytelling and actionable insights, Bergh shows how universal leadership principles returned Levi's to relevance, as he surprises readers with fun facts about the history of the company that introduced denim jeans to the world.For any leader facing crucial strategic choices, and anyone who loves jeans, A Levi's Story is a compelling narrative and a vital resource to start, build, or revive brands and unlock growth.

Why healthcare's most persistent failures are organizational, not financial or political In The Moral Alibi: How Healthcare Learned to Look Away--and How We See Again, Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA--CEO of SCAN Group, Stanford faculty member, and former Obama Administration official--delivers a candid diagnosis of why healthcare institutions fail patients despite decades of reform. Drawing on his experience leading an organization from $2.7 billion to over $8 billion in revenue, Jain names the organizational pathologies that executives recognize but rarely discuss openly. The Moral Alibi examines how dysfunctional cultures, conflict-avoidant leadership, misaligned incentives, and ethical drift produce fragmented care, clinician burnout, and systems indifferent to patients. Jain identifies specific patterns including "innovation theater" that mistakes conferences and pilots for transformation and "split-the-baby leadership" that prioritizes institutional harmony over patient outcomes, offering both vocabulary and a framework for addressing the crisis beneath the crisis. Readers will also find: <ul> <li>An honest examination of why healthier organizations may be the prerequisite for healthier patients and what leadership courage that requires</li> <li>Analysis of how administrative complexity and institutional drift from founding purpose create systemic indifference to patient needs</li> <li>Insights drawn from leadership roles at CareMore Health, Aspire Health, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation</li> <li>A framework for identifying organizational pathologies that persist despite financial investment, technological upgrades, and policy reform efforts</li> <li>Practical vocabulary for naming dysfunction that clinicians, executives, and board members recognize but rarely confront directly</li> </ul> Written for anyone navigating the gap between what American healthcare claims to be and what it actually does--including healthcare executives, physicians, policymakers, healthcare workers, and patients--The Moral Alibi provides the intellectual honesty and organizational framework needed to confront systemic dysfunction and lead meaningful change.

How AI is transforming consulting and professional services, plus a new model for the future.Artificial intelligence has disrupted the world of expertise. Work that once required teams of highly trained professionals--research, analysis, modeling, and drafting--can now be completed in seconds. For consulting firms, law firms, accounting practices, and other professional-service organizations, the implications are profound. The very activities that have long generated revenue, developed talent, and sustained competitive advantage are rapidly being transformed. How do firms built on human expertise create value in a world where machines can now think alongside us?In The Future of Expertise, innovation expert David Duncan offers a compelling answer. Drawing on more than two decades of experience at McKinsey, at Clayton Christensen's advisory firm, and on the front lines of AI-enabled consulting, Duncan argues that the basic structure of professional-service firms must be reinvented. He introduces a new model for the AI era: a leaner, more agile "obelisk" structure that replaces the traditional professional-services pyramid with smaller, highly skilled teams augmented by AI.Through real-world examples from consulting, law, accounting, and corporate strategy, Duncan shows how AI is reshaping everything from client expectations to firm economics and profitability to talent development and leadership. He examines why the apprenticeship model that was used to train generations of professionals is breaking down, how firms can rethink careers and capability building, and what new forms of value clients will demand as routine expertise becomes automated.Provocative and deeply insightful yet practical, The Future of Expertise is an essential guide for leaders navigating the next era of knowledge work.
