Elcham A: The Courage to Say "F*** It!"

The Courage to Say "F*** It!"

Selected by the Telegraph as one of the best new children's books in January 2026. "exuberantly charming" - The Guardian Bodger, Billy and Betty are VERY good dogs. They like doing good deeds and are always on the lookout for ways to help people. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan... From flying socks to runaway shopping, chaos follows them wherever they go. But when a little girl's kitten gets into trouble, the good deed dogs are determined to save the day. A heartwarming picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Emma Chichester Clark, celebrating the power of kindness, friendship and never giving up.

Celebrate the underdogs in this hilarious read-aloud picture book about the power of kindness and friendship for ages 3+

The Good Deed Dogs

Uncertainty Advantage fundamentally reframes how leaders should think about disruption, arguing that uncertainty is the primary source of competitive advantage in modern markets. When crises emerge, value doesn't disappear; it redistributes to those who detect shifts earlier, decide faster, and act while competitors are still in analysis paralysis.

Drawing from real-world wins across various industries, Lynch exposes the fatal flaw that traditional risk management can breed inefficiency. When supply chains collapse, cyberattacks hit, or pandemics strike, defensive leaders hunker down while market winners do the opposite - they pounce.

The book bridges the gap between C-suite strategy and operational execution, dismantling the "minimize and protect" mindset that's killing competitive advantage for most Fortune 500 companies. Lynch reveals the systems, data infrastructure, and decision-making principles, that turn concurrent and relentless threats into profit opportunities while competitors play catch-up.

Uncertainty Advantage

How can a particular way of argumenting direct our thinking? How does the formulation of a question influence the answer, producing a bias or an insight? And finally, what effect does public communication have on public behaviour?Psychorhetoric and the Psychology of Thought illustrates the role played by rhetoric and communicative heuristics in the psychology of thinking and decision making, and its effect on many areas of our daily life. It gives voice to a new and unconventional approach to the contemporary debate within the psychology of thought that has wide implications for key behavioural phenomena, including biases, creativity, decision making, and public policy. This innovative work challenges conventional wisdom by proposing that cognitive biases are not inherent flaws in human cognition, but rather outcomes of misleading communication patterns that influence our thinking processes.This unconventional approach to the psychology of thought has significant implications for creativity, decision making, economic behaviour, and public policy development. Essential reading for students and researchers in cognitive psychology, communication studies, and behavioural economics, this volume promises to reshape our understanding of human rationality and the communicative forces that guide it.

How do we make workplaces more sustainable, given the present world challenges? Balancing critical and management perspectives with the sociological and psychological aspects of organizational behaviour, this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject and helps you think critically about the effects of human action on people at work. This edition has reworked chapters and a strong focus on sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. It includes new coverage of the impact of artificial intelligence, work-life balance, hybrid and remote working, DEI initiatives and changes to organizations post-Covid. There are a variety of features to help you connect theory to practice, including The Reality of Work and Globalization and Organizational Behaviour. Globally-oriented, this 5th edition includes new cases and examples from around the world, and includes new chapter case studies that are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject or previous work experience, and the content fits to the typical structure of Organizational Behaviour modules at undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA level. This edition is supported by extensive online teaching and learning resources, freely available at bloomsbury.pub/organizational_behaviour_5e

Organizational Behaviour

This book is an exploration of the reasons, biases, and blind spots that result in people making assumptions and jumping to conclusions during problem-solving. It delves deep into why, even experts, often make errors in judgment when problem-solving. Through a combination of behavioral science, data science, and real-world examples, this project is aimed at equipping the reader with a deeper understanding and awareness and a practical toolset to allow them to separate speculation from fact and get to the true root cause. The book applies principles of lean thinking, scientific method, and statistical analysis to problem-solving scenarios. By introducing concepts such as Attribute agreement analysis, Cognitive biases, Hypothesis testing, and Special cause vs Common cause, the book provides the reader with a structure that enables them to navigate complex problems. The narrative is enriched with stories and anecdotes that reinforce the concepts and demonstrate how the tools were and can be successfully used. In addition, the book demonstrates through some of these stories the negative impact that assumptions have had in various fields ranging from medicine to Engineering. Essentially, the book makes rigorous problem-solving methodologies and the application of the scientific method engaging and accessible. The book employs humor, storytelling, and relatable anecdotes to illustrate abstract concepts, making it an effective learning tool for both professionals and general readers. Readers are encouraged to actively challenge their own biases, improving their ability to validate assumptions before acting on them.

Leadership has a friction problem. 
 Not because people are weak.
 Not because teams are broken.
 Not because organizations lack talent.
Because work is happening under more pressure, with fewer buffers, less context, and more opportunities for human strain to spread quickly.
Everything about modern work is built for speed. But human beings are not.
In Friction, Maggie Sass and Ross Blankenship argue that the invisible force shaping performance, retention, trust, decision quality, and culture is not just workload or poor communication. It is friction: the emotional tension that shows up when being human collides with high expectations.
And most of us have never been taught what to do with it.
We tend to think of leadership as strategy and execution, and emotions as a side effect. But the truth is, many workplace breakdowns happen in the moments right before and after something small but charged: a triggering comment, a tense silence, a missed expectation, a rushed decision, a piece of feedback, a conversation that goes slightly sideways and is never fully repaired.
That is where friction lives. 
And that is where this book begins.
Drawing on original research from a broad, generalizable sample of the U.S. working population, Sass and Blankenship introduce a practical new framework for understanding how emotions actually show up at work—and what effective professionals and leaders can do about them. They show that friction is not random, and it is not merely personal. It happens across three levels at once:
<ul><li>Internal friction: what is happening inside you including your reactions, identity, forecasting, and nervous system 
</li><li>Interpersonal friction: what is happening between people, such as trust, defensiveness, feedback, and repair 
</li><li>System friction: what is happening in the environment—norms, incentives, staffing, policies, and decision structures</li></ul>
Because friction is contagious, solving only one layer rarely works. 
Read Friction if:
<ul><li>You want a better explanation for why smart, capable people still struggle at work 
</li><li>You want practical tools for handling pressure without passing it on 
</li><li>You are trying to lead or collaborate in conditions that feel faster, hotter, and less forgiving than they used to 
</li><li>You know culture problems often show up in small moments first </li><li>You want to get better at noticing tension early and responding on purpose 
</li><li>You are looking for a leadership book that connects self-awareness, relationships, and systems instead of treating them separately</li></ul>
Friction shows readers how to reduce the costly kind of friction, like avoidable conflict, rework, resentment, poor follow-through, spirals, and decision drag, while using productive friction to sharpen thinking, strengthen relationships, and improve outcomes.
Inside, readers will discover strategies including:
Calibrating Your Inner Forecaster.A practical method for noticing when your predictions are being shaped by threat, fatigue, or identity pressure so you can respond with more accuracy and self-control.
Listen for What’s at Stake. A way to hear the fear, status risk, or unmet need underneath someone’s reaction so you can address the real issue instead of fighting the surface behavior.
Premium Strategy, Regular Fuel. A system-level reminder that high expectations mean little without the time, staffing, clarity, and support required to sustain them.
Sass and Blankenship’s edge is integration. Most books live in one lane: inner work, communication, or culture. Friction brings all three together and gives readers practical experiments to test in real life.
For readers of Emotional Intelligence 2.0, Friction offers a fresh leadership framework for an era defined by overload, ambiguity, and rapid transformation. As more work is automated, the leaders who stand out will know how to read friction, work with it, and turn it into better decisions, stronger relationships, and healthier performance.
The goal is not to lead without friction. The goal is to lead through it, better.

There is no meant to be but the love I've known has made it hard to believe that An inventive, funny and deeply moving family epic: a love story, an elegy and a reminder that even in the mess of family and memory there is something to laugh about AN OBSERVER NON-FICTION BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2026 'A wild ride' JON McGREGOR 'Raw and intimate, so daring and disobedient' SARAH HALL 'The most beautiful and truthful song to the pain present in a good life' EVIE WYLD Jarred McGinnis was born to a Southern US clan where masculinity, resilience and physical violence were intertwined. In There Is No Meant to Be he unearths the legends, secrets and scars that have shaped his family line from his outlaw Irish ancestors to his mother Momo's gift of foresight, and the ghosts - both real and remembered - that follow him into adulthood. Two decades on from the near-fatal accident that left him in a wheelchair, McGinnis is married and the father of two girls, living first in East London and now Marseille. He writes about love within the context of care and of the particular vulnerability that comes from being a parent with a disability. In a daring imaginative leap, he writes of the end of life too, reaching beyond his own death to look at what truly makes a life.
