Hardback. Zustand: Good. If you want your company to thrive, you need to break one of the oldest unwritten rules of leadership. Leaders in nearly every industry have learned to keep a professional 'distance' between themselves and the people who report to them -- to avoid getting too close or too personal. This unwritten rule of leadership is pervasive and quietly destructive, and, little by little, keeping ourselves at arm's length destroys trust, collaboration, and the very fabric of organizations. When Tom Gartland became president of Avis Budget Group, North America, he wanted the corporate culture to become more 'open and connected' -- so he started with himself. His message was 'business is personal -- very personal.' As he grew closer and connected more with those he was leading, he became a more effective leader, and those around him were inspired to create unprecedented results. Tom found that when we truly open up and care about the people we work with, we can transform organizations into sanctuaries where people feel a deep connection to one another, a profound sense of being part of an important mission, and extraordinary engagement in their work. The result? Employees who feel valued generate exceptional profits. After applying this business philosophy at Avis, not only did Tom see an increase in employee morale, he also saw a significant increase in the company's bottom line. In Lead with Heart, Tom provides an unconventional approach to business leadership, including advice and strategies on how to open yourself up as a leader, recognize potential in your employees, and increase employees' trust in you and the company. Lead with Heart is the revolutionary leadership book that will help managers and employees at all levels grow their businesses by connecting, honestly and meaningfully, with the people they lead.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. With so much of our lives lived online, we've never been more connected -- or disconnected from what's most important to us. It's time to let go of our curated online worlds and get beyond our need for likes. For all that we think we're getting out of social media, we're also getting duped. The perfection echo chamber oftentimes makes us feel like we're getting left behind. The truth is, life is messy, but curated online fabulousness makes it hard to let our true selves show, and it impedes our ability to have real, meaningful connections. Depression, anxiety, and suicide are also on the rise, and the virtual world is partially to blame, affecting our self-worth, our friendships, and the way we choose to navigate our real lives. As the founder and CEO of Squad, an app company built on connectedness, Isa Watson knows firsthand why we need to learn how to be more genuine. The digital world is her lifeblood, but it's also been an Achilles' heel: She struggled privately with some of the biggest challenges life can throw at you, while online she seemed to be living her best life -- earning high-profile accolades, taking fabulous trips, and partying with the likes of many big name celebrities. It took a personal crisis to make her realize that she needed to change. In Life Beyond Likes, she gets real, sharing practical guidance on: Getting over the addiction to likes, and letting your true self shine; Recognizing your own damaging habits and developing healthy ones; Determining when a friendship has run its course; Getting comfortable with discomfort in order to make real connections. Drawing from a wealth of experiences including being the youngest published chemist in the world, working as executive in the upper echelons at JPMorgan Chase, and founding her own company, Isa helps readers better understand what constitutes success, identify what's really important, and achieve a balance between the curated online world and the enriching, emotionally nourishing world right in front of us.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Focused on a simple principle and designed to bolster writers' confidence and skills, writing coach at Harvard Business School Mark Rennella offers practical advice for students and budding writers -- with the goal of leveling the playing field between beginners and those with more experience. After a 30-year career as a writer, instructor, and editor, Mark Rennella has crafted a battle-tested method to help students and young professionals who want to improve their writing: the One-Idea Rule, anchored on the assertion that every component of a successful piece of writing should express only one idea. With The One-Idea Rule, writers embarking on their adult lives and professional journeys will have a reliable methodology they can easily remember and count on for all of their writing tasks, as well as increased confidence about the cogency of their writing and its potential for impact in the public sphere. Most advice about writing looks like a long laundry list of dos and don'ts. For those already accomplished as writers, these lists can be a helpful addition to an already-developed communication style. But for teens starting college and young professionals entering the workforce, it can be challenging to wield such complex advice to tackle increasingly demanding writing assignments. The One-Idea Rule is a writing primer aligned and empathetic with any young writer's needs.…

A happy little Christmas miracle. Even after more than 20 years after his death, pop culture icon, painter, host, and teacher Bob Ross has never been more heralded than he is today.

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Why do we exist? For centuries, this question was the sole province of religion and philosophy. But now science is ready to take a seat at the table. According to the prevailing scientific paradigm, the universe tends toward randomness; it functions according to laws without purpose, and the emergence of life is an accident devoid of meaning.   But this bleak interpretation of nature is currently being challenged by cutting-edge findings at the intersection of physics, biology, neuroscience, and information theory -- generally referred to as 'complexity science.' Thanks to a new understanding of evolution, as well as recent advances in our understanding of the phenomenon known as emergence, a new cosmic narrative is taking shape: Nature's simplest 'parts' come together to form ever-greater 'wholes' in a process that has no end in sight.   In The Romance of Reality, cognitive neuroscientist Bobby Azarian explains the science behind this new view of reality and explores what it means for all of us. In engaging, accessible prose, Azarian outlines the fundamental misunderstanding of thermodynamics at the heart of the old assumptions about the universe's evolution, and shows us the evidence that suggests that the universe is a 'self-organizing' system, one that is moving toward increasing complexity and awareness.   Cosmologist and science communicator Carl Sagan once said of humanity that 'we are a way for the cosmos to know itself.' The Romance of Reality shows that this poetic statement in fact rests on a scientific foundation and gives us a new way to know the cosmos, along with a riveting vision of life that imbues existence with meaning -- nothing supernatural required.…
