Tiller N: The Health and Wellness Lie

The Health and Wellness Lie

Exposing the hype, hacks and hidden agendas of the well-being machine

Healthcare strategy tends to be a "black box" affair, shrouded in mystery by consulting firms or in foggy recollection from a long-ago college text. Dawn Carter believes it doesn't have to be that way. Based on more than 30 years' experience as a healthcare strategist, she has written a straightforward, consistently practical handbook for practitioners of every kind: seasoned executives, emerging leaders, board members, and students alike.That book is Strategic Planning for Healthcare: How to Implement a LIVING Strategy. Rather than abstract theory or academic jargon, it is a step-by-step guide for anyone who wants to understand how a winning strategy evolves and how it creates positive change. Filled with anecdotes from real-world engagements, the book also introduces Great Health System, a hypothetical organization whose strategy takes shape across every chapter, tying the entire process together.The LIVING framework - built around six essential elements of strategy formation and execution - gives practitioners at every level a shared language and a clear path forward. At the same time, the book is focused on why-to as much as how-to. Carter's conviction is that strategy isn't a chore or a compliance exercise. Done right, it is the beating heart that keeps healthcare organizations moving forward in an increasingly difficult environment.With fresh analogies in every chapter drawn from art, history, engineering, and beyond, LIVING Strategy makes the unfamiliar immediately recognizable and keeps the pages turning.For readers who enjoyed If Disney Ran Your Hospital or Hardwiring Excellence, this is the book on healthcare strategy that you've been waiting for.

A Hands-On Guide to Building Fandom Stories Readers Love

Write Your Own Fan Fiction

<div>Learn how the world’s most memorable brands find the words that make them impossible to ignore. Visual identity has its canon. Logos, typefaces, color systems, and design principles have filled bookshelves for decades. But behind every successful brand is another system that shapes perception, builds trust, and creates emotional connection: language. In How Brands Find Their Voice, brand writer and Brand Impact Awards founder Nick Carson gives verbal identity the visual design-book treatment it has long deserved. With a foreword by John Simmons—the acclaimed writer who coined the term “verbal identity”—and built on unprecedented access to leading branding agencies and in-house creative teams, this richly illustrated volume reveals how brand language is developed, expressed, and sustained across every touchpoint. Through in-depth case studies spanning hospitality, technology, consumer goods, and nonprofits, from global institutions to challenger brands, Carson explores how language becomes part of a brand’s DNA. Readers meet the people who do the work and discover how verbal identity emerges from collaboration, research, and craft. Inside, you’ll discover: <ul><li>The evolution of brand voice from advertising copy to modern verbal identity</li><li>How leading agencies develop language systems alongside visual identity</li><li>The strategic thinking behind memorable brand voices</li><li>Different approaches to tone, personality, storytelling, and communication</li><li>How organizations embed verbal identity across teams and touchpoints</li><li>What separates effective brand guidelines from documents that are never used</li><li>The opportunities and challenges that AI presents for brand language</li></ul> Featuring brands such as Ben &amp; Jerry’s, Mailchimp, Virgin, Liquid Death, Innocent, Oatly, and many others—and world-renowned agencies including COLLINS, Wolff Olins, and JKR—the book demonstrates that successful verbal identity is not about clever taglines or isolated campaigns. It’s about creating a coherent language system that shapes every interaction people have with a brand. Filled with photography, packaging, digital experiences, environmental graphics, annotated guidelines, and expert commentary,&nbsp;How Brands Find Their Voice presents language in context, where words and visuals work together to create meaning. For brand strategists, designers, copywriters, marketers, students, and business leaders, this book offers both inspiration and practical insight into one of branding’s most important—and least understood—disciplines.</div>

Health Care Market Access and Reimbursement

An introductory finance textbook that teaches personal, corporate, and investment decisions from one set of first principles. How much should I save for retirement? Should this company launch a new product? Is this stock worth its price? These questions look like they belong to three different subjects—personal, corporate, and investment—and most introductory textbooks treat them that way. But this innovative introduction to finance shows that they actually come down to the same handful of principles. Drawing on more than two decades of teaching at Wharton, Michael Roberts develops each idea in context, working through real companies and live data and returning to the core concepts often enough that they stick. Featuring hundreds of examples, frequent understanding checks, and extensive end-of-chapter problems, Financial Decision-Making is an essential learn-by-doing guide to practicing finance in our personal and professional lives. <ul><li>Organized by decision type rather than finance topic</li><li>Illustrates the thought process for tackling financial questions in varied contexts</li><li>Emphasizes relatable, practical applications </li><li>Suits undergraduates, MBAs, executives, and general readers</li><li>Includes instructor resources</li></ul>

Principles, Applications, and Cases

Financial Decision-Making

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Uncovering how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence-based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, antitrust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.

A Practitioner's Guide to Building Data-Driven Business Cases

Investing in Health

This book proposes a radical rethink of how we fund our economy. Rather than disentangling public and corporate finance, this book shows how the two are forced to feed a never-ending force: growth. By re-visiting how money is created in our economy, the book proposes a new way of funding the economy using interest-free money creation.
Economic evaluation techniques like Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) reinforce the idea that to receive funding, a project need to generate economic growth. However, this book argues that the priority of the economics discipline should be to illuminate resource allocation and scarcity and propose ways to make the economy self-sustainable, helping to avoid inflation and poverty. To do this, the book highlights that not all public needs—such as social housing or other non-profit services—require economic growth. It argues that by decoupling public funding from taxation and interest-based borrowing, governments could more effectively fund essential public services that do not need to be profitable, thereby freeing the public sector from the growth imperative imposed by the current financial system. With practical applications for sectors including healthcare, environmental policy and sustainability, the book’s interdisciplinary approach – incorporating insights from economics, finance, public policy, anthropology and more – will be a valuable tool for scholars and practitioners in diverse fields.
Simon Combes is a Lecturer in Economics at University College London. His research interests cover health, migration, economic evaluation techniques, macroeconomics and general economics.

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.
