"How an acceptance of our limitations can lead to a more fulfilling life and a more harmonious society"--

How an acceptance of our limitations can lead to a more fulfilling life and a more harmonious society We live in a world oriented toward greatness, one in which we feel compelled to be among the wealthiest, most powerful, and most famous. This book explains why no one truly benefits from this competitive social order, and reveals how another way of life is possible—a good-enough life for all. Avram Alpert shows how our obsession with greatness results in stress and anxiety, damage to our relationships, widespread political and economic inequality, and destruction of the natural world. He describes how to move beyond greatness to create a society in which everyone flourishes. By competing less with each other, each of us can find renewed meaning and purpose, have our material and emotional needs met, and begin to lead more leisurely lives. Alpert makes no false utopian promises, however. Life can never be more than good enough because there will always be accidents and tragedies beyond our control, which is why we must stop dividing the world into winners and losers and ensure that there is a fair share of decency and sufficiency to go around. Visionary and provocative, The Good-Enough Life demonstrates how we can work together to cultivate a good-enough life for all instead of tearing ourselves apart in a race to the top of the social pyramid.

The Good-Enough Life

WE NEED MORE LEADERS. From socio-political chaos and workplace disruption to the climate change crisis, we have never needed people with the skill and will to collaborate to create a better world more than now. We need people who are willing to fill the leadership void. People who will embrace the influence they have.

Over fourteen promises, it seamlessly intertwines personal anecdotes and workplace and social observation with the latest research, to provide practical, proven tips and strategies to empower you to maximize your own potential and inspire others. It is not a self-help book. It is a how-to guide for winning, rooted in the belief that the most unlikely of people, in the most improbable of circumstances, can become extraordinary.

How YOU can fill the leadership void --THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER--

The Promises of Giants

Your attention has been hijacked-and it's costing you more than time.

In HIJACKED, author, speaker, and leadership mentor Jim Koetting exposes the invisible war being waged for your attention and shows how digital distraction is quietly reshaping your brain, your relationships, your faith, and your ability to live with clarity and purpose.

This is not a book about deleting apps, embracing extreme digital detoxes, or "trying harder." Drawing from nearly four decades of sobriety, leadership experience, and personal transformation, Koetting reveals a deeper truth: distraction is not a willpower problem-it's a replacement problem. Screens haven't just taken our time; they've replaced the habits that once grounded us.

Through compelling storytelling, accessible neuroscience, and practical wisdom, HIJACKED introduces the PRECEPT Framework-a simple, life-giving structure for reclaiming attention one habit at a time:

Pray. Read. Exercise. Capture. Engage. Practice. Think.

Each discipline replaces fast dopamine with meaningful, stabilizing practices that restore focus, emotional steadiness, and depth. Rather than preaching guilt or perfection, Koetting invites readers into small, repeatable steps that rebuild the inner life and lead to lasting change.

HIJACKED is for leaders, parents, professionals, and anyone who feels scattered, anxious, or disconnected in a hyper-stimulated world. It's for readers who sense that something essential has been stolen-and are ready to take it back.

This book is not about escaping technology.

It's about recovering yourself.

The Career Ladder

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic future In a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; blueberry farmer Hugh Kent, who turned his battle with Driscoll's into a farmers' movement; and Doha Mekki, the daughter of a Sudanese asylum seeker who took on Google and won; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism.Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

Anti-Monopoly

#1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant illuminates the surprising science behind strong connections A vibe—a special connection between people that creates a spark—is an engine of happiness and success. Yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As social media forces face-to-face interaction behind digital screens, communication gets outsourced to AI, and the world becomes more polarized than ever, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing. To reveal how we can forge faster, stronger, and longer bonds, Grant offers groundbreaking studies, expert insights, and myth-busting stories. Filled with the eye-opening takeaways that have brought millions of readers to his books, Vibe teaches us that similarity is not necessary for solidarity, chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly, and closeness doesn’t always take time. Along the way, Grant introduces us to a crew of astronauts who learned to trust people they don’t like, a comedy troupe that swears by taking time apart as a key to staying together, a band that grew closer by learning to fight more, and a journalist who designed a gathering that led to seventy-eight marriages. He also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convener. Through these examples and more, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities. Vibe will change how you approach your interactions. No matter how good you are at connecting, you can always get better—and help others get better too.

The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World

Vibe

Nobody is coming to save us - so we'll lead a revolution to save ourselves.The 'glass ceiling' was just the first barrier - now comes the 'glass cliff' and the takedown playbook. The global rollback of DEI programs, the literal deletion of women in leadership and the entrenched assumption that only white men are competent leaders make one thing clear: institutional bias isn't going anywhere and, in fact, is likely to go backwards.In short, nobody is coming to save us. If women want to drive real change, we must claim our power and take control of our own destiny by banding together to make progress. The science is clear: more diverse teams drive better business outcomes.Shannon Nutter and Julia C. Carreon know this from first-hand experience. They climbed to the C-suite at some of the world's largest financial institutions while staying true to who they are. They built careers that weren't just successful, they were fully their own. And along the way, they learned that what women really need isn't another set of instructions for how to change themselves, it's a playbook for how to identify and prepare for bad behavior, from women who've actually lived it.Shannon Nutter is a global executive and board director. She has over two decades of leadership experience at organizations including Vanguard, Deloitte and General Motors.Julia C. Carreon is a financial services executive with a reputation for technology transformations and execution excellence. She has led wealth management and advisor tech at Citibank and Wells Fargo.

Navigating the aftermath of the glass ceiling

Walking on Broken Glass

A new paradigm based on quantum probability that can model stock markets and price options—and also upends classical quantitative finance. In The Quantum Stock Market, David Orrell combines theory and new empirical findings to argue for a new approach to finance based on quantum probability. The main finding, a property called q-variance, may be unique in finance in that it was discovered as the result of a prediction, affects financial markets in general, has no tunable parameter, and has important consequences for a range of topics including the pricing of financial options. The property, which somehow eluded detection for over a century, has been verified by experts in the field. And the fact that it is incompatible with classical finance—which is perhaps why it went undetected—suggests that the field must be reinvented. The aim of this book is therefore nothing less than to initiate a paradigm shift in finance. As with any new work that challenges existing methods, the ideas have already received considerable pushback from a range of sources, including leaders in the field of finance, along with physicists skeptical of applying quantum probability outside its traditional domain. Written in an interdisciplinary style that mixes mathematical equations, data analysis, and informed comment on the field of finance, it should be read by anyone—including students, academics, and practitioners—who wants to be on the right side of a paradigm shift.

And the Road Not Taken in Finance

The Quantum Stock Market

A leading psychologist and philosopher challenge the shortcomings of rational choice theory-and propose a new framework for understanding decision-makingFor many decision scientists, their starting point-drawn from economics-is a quantitative formula called rational choice theory, allowing people to calculate and choose the best options. The problem is that this framework assumes an overly simplistic picture of the world, in which different types of values can be quantified and compared, leading to the "most rational" choice. Behavioral economics acknowledges that irrationality is common but still accepts the underlying belief from economics of what a rational decision should look like.In this book, Barry Schwartz and Richard Schuldenfrei offer a different way to think about the choices we make every day. Drawing from economics, psychology, and philosophy-and both inspired by and challenging Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow-they show how the focus on rationality, narrowly understood, fails to fully describe how we think about our decisions, much less help us make better ones. Notably, it overlooks the positive contribution that framing-how we determine what aspects are most important to us-contributes to good decisions. Schwartz and Schuldenfrei argue that our choices should be informed by our individual "constellation of virtues," allowing for a far richer understanding of the decisions we make and helping us to live more integrated and purposeful lives.
