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.

You will never earn or budget your way into real wealth. Growing your money significantly doesn't require starting with a lot of money.

Using her own vulnerable stories and her signature conversational style, let Nicole show you all the different ways and paths that you can take to become financially free at last.

Miss Independent

We all know what it's like to hold back from making a decisive move, offering our most candid feedback, or even advocating for ourselves because it was easier and safer to take the well-travelled path - but these are also the hinge points that transform reputations, relationships, and results.Drawing on a landmark seven-year study of 34,000 people, JP Pawliw and Bill Benjamin reveal a consistent pattern: in high-stakes moments people hold back an average of 7.56% of what can make the crucial difference between 'taking your shot' and regret at failing to do so. Rounded, they call this gap the 'Last 8%'. The book explores the brain function reasons for this gap and equips readers with effective tools to close the gap. Blending neuroscience, behavioural research, and stories from astronauts, Olympic athletes, Fortune 100 executives, and frontline professionals, THE LAST 8% provides a practical roadmap for acting with decisiveness in pressure situations.It teaches individuals to regulate their biology in the heat of the moment, while also offering leaders a proprietary framework - the Last 8% Culture Map - to build teams and organisations where candour, accountability and trust drive performance.

Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision-Making

In this inspiring book, a real-world entrepreneur shares the hard-won lessons from a journey that spans from selling frozen food in pub car parks to building a £40-million industry leader. This isn't a book about frantic growth or "winging it" through the next deal; it's a tactical guide for entrepreneurs and managers who are tired of carrying the pressure alone. By shifting from a "heroic" mindset to one of clarity and confidence, you will learn how to build a business that is resilient from the inside out, ensuring that your progress no longer comes at the expense of your family, your values - or your sanity. True sustainability is found in a simple, non-negotiable alignment:&nbsp;the Win-Win-Win. When you win as a leader by regaining control and stability, your team wins through clear purpose and trust, which ultimately ensures your customers win through reliable, consistent value. Brian Donne provides a "back-room coach" experience, utilizing "Performance Levers" and "the Mushy Ps" - from Purpose to Profit - to help you master the fundamentals that most businesses ignore. It's time to stop settling for growth that feels like firefighting and start building your "Champions League" victory. Discover how to make a decent profit, decently, and finally achieve the ultimate win: a successful business that grants you the freedom to live life on your terms.

Hard-won lessons for building a resilient and growing business

Win-Win-Win

Das Buch von Prof. Oliver Hoffmann zeigt, wie Geiz unser Denken, Fühlen und Handeln im Alltag beeinflusst - oft ohne dass wir es merken. Geiz versteckt sich hinter Vernunft, ist aber eigentlich ein Ausdruck von Angst und Unsicherheit. Er wirkt überall: vor allem in unsichtbaren Mikroentscheidungen über Zeit, Aufmerksamkeit und Anerkennung. Was erwartet den Leser? - Klarheit statt Klischees: Das Buch erklärt verständlich, wie sich Geiz von gesunder Sparsamkeit unterscheidet - und warum es wichtig ist, den Unterschied zu kennen. - Psychologie zum Anfassen: Die Leser erfahren, warum wir manchmal zu viel festhalten - ob aus Angst vor Verlust, alten Gewohnheiten oder weil wir es so gelernt haben. - Alltagstipps: Anhand vieler Beispiele wird gezeigt, wie Geiz im Alltag aussieht - und wie er Beziehungen, Teamarbeit und sogar Unternehmen beeinflusst. - Praktische Lösungen: Die Leser erhalten konkrete Ideen, wie sie und ihr Umfeld mehr Großzügigkeit und "Fluss" in ihr Leben bringen können - ohne dabei leichtsinnig zu werden. - Impulse für Unternehmen: Auch Organisationen profitieren: Mit einfachen Kennzahlen und neuen Routinen lässt sich eine Kultur schaffen, in der Teilen, Lernen und Anerkennung selbstverständlich werden. &nbsp; Fazit: "Geiz" ist ein Buch für alle, die verstehen wollen, warum wir manchmal zu wenig geben - und wie wir gemeinsam mehr erreichen können. Es lädt dazu ein, alte Muster zu hinterfragen und neue Wege zu mehr Großzügigkeit und Lebensfreude zu entdecken.
