Paperback. Condición: New. Higher education has a long history of transferring knowledge-facts and theories-into students' minds. However, it has less of a history of providing students with direct experiences, such as internships, that lead to felt knowledge of the field and relevant skills. It is this combination of academic and felt knowledge that fosters the growth students need, which we refer to as "professional wisdom."This growth state is supported by basic neuroscience. Humans possess a crowning achievement of evolution in the neocortex, allowing us to perform amazing feats of cognitive symbolic logic, such as language and planning. Beneath the neocortex lies an older part of the brain that regulates emotional computation-the limbic system. This system provides a perspective of value, helping us determine whether a plan or activity is beneficial. Interestingly, neuroscience shows that the limbic system reacts most strongly to actual experiences, and it requires reflection to process these experiences into the higher cognitive regions of the brain.When applied to higher education, this insight suggests that combining academic study with hands-on experiences-such as cooperative learning and internships-can lead to a lifelong career where students remain passionate and engaged. A major paired with an enjoyable, real-world experience in college helps students connect knowledge with purpose, fostering long-term satisfaction and success.While some individuals, especially in academic administration, refer to this as "educating the whole student," we describe it as cognitive-emotional integration, the foundation of professional wisdom. In this book, we explore the current experiences in higher education that foster this development, from cooperative learning to internships and beyond. We also offer two neuroscientists' perspectives on how cognitive-emotional integration aligns with the brain's natural processes.With this understanding, we believe colleges and universities have an obligation to their students: to cultivate environments that challenge them both inside and outside the classroom. Without this, we risk graduating learners unprepared for the demands of the modern workforce.…

Hardback. Condición: New. A raw, clear-eyed portrait of what it's really like to run a startup in Silicon Valley, told by someone who has lived it again and again. For nearly three decades, Mike Grossman has been at the centre of the world's most mythologised innovation hub, leading early-stage, venture-funded tech companies through the highs, heartbreaks, and near misses that define life in the Valley. He has raised millions, managed boardroom crises, built great teams, and navigated moments when everything seemed one bad quarter away from collapse. Failure Is An Option gathers forty-four sharp, candid essays shaped by years in the trenches. Together, they form a mosaic of what leadership really looks like when the cameras aren't rolling: the moments of absurdity, fear, luck, and endurance that make or break a company and the person leading it. Unflinchingly honest and darkly funny, Grossman dismantles the myths of startup success and offers an insider's view of what it means to build under pressure. This is not a playbook or a victory lap. It is a collection of truths about ambition, uncertainty, and the art of holding it together long enough for the story to make sense. For founders, investors, and anyone who has ever wondered what Silicon Valley is really like, Failure Is An Option offers an antidote to the glossy founder myth and a reminder that authenticity, humility, and a sense of humour are what keep you in the game. …

Hardback. Condición: New. This book is a compass for anyone who feels the ground shifting beneath them and is asking, "Where do I go from here?" It reveals why knowledge is no longer enough, how to navigate the turbulence of this transition, and how to uncover the wisdom advantage only you can bring to thrive in the Age of AI.The Knowledge Economy is collapsing.

Hardback. Condición: New. In this leadership book, renowned industry analyst Josh Bersin introduces a new way to think about organizational design, employee engagement, and employee development. Distilled from decades of research and management theory into seven practical yet profound management principles, Bersin outlines how business leaders can create enduring companies that thrive with improved customer satisfaction, employee retention, and business agility. Irresistible businesses grow faster, they're more profitable, and they innovate and lead their markets. Most importantly, their employees, customers, and stakeholders are drawn to them like magnets. Leaders have an outsized impact on culture, engagement, and productivity. Irresistible helps leaders at all levels understand how to scale a business through a new organization model - the "network of teams."  Bersin's model emphasizes that effective companies operate as networks, not hierarchies. When focused leadership empowers small teams, the result is increased speed, agility, and traction - along with a sense of purpose, mission, and clarity of roles. Leaders of irresistible companies understand that by unleashing the power of the human spirit, their companies can go faster and farther than their competitors by empowering people and creating employee-centric cultures. If you can make your company - large or small -- irresistible, your employees will contribute, innovate, and grow more than you thought possible. Bersin shares eye-opening examples from his consulting work with HR and executive business teams around the world. Each chapter includes tips and discussion questions to bring these organizational behavior lessons to life. Inspiring yet highly pragmatic, this business book is a leader's handbook for today's unpredictable business world, where people and culture are more important than ever. Bersin's human resource management book challenges companies to rethink their current approach to organizational design, leadership development, and human resources strategy. A top business book for organizations large and small, Irresistible belongs on the bookshelf of every executive, supervisor, and entrepreneur.…

Hardback. Condición: New. Right now, your brain is selling you a story about who you are, what's true, and what you should believe. And you're buying it, even when it sabotages your success. In Inner Propaganda, psychologist Owen Fitzpatrick reveals the internal persuasion system shaping your thoughts, your decisions, and your reality. After decades studying external propaganda, from witnessing first-hand modern influence operations in North Korea, Afghanistan, and Washington D.C., to analysing the incredible double agent who helped change the outcome of World War II, Fitzpatrick reached a startling conclusion: The same tactics that sway nations also operate inside each of us. Your mind has its own propaganda machine. It manufactures certainty, reinforces old narratives, and keeps you loyal to beliefs that no longer serve you. And in an era of infinite information and AI-generated content, these internal distortions intensify-making it nearly impossible to distinguish between genuine insight and manufactured conviction. But understanding your own propaganda is the key to understanding everyone else's. Once you see how your brain manipulates you, you finally understand why others believe what they believe. As the current media landscape fragments our relationships, this can help you bridge divides rather than deepen them. To do this, he offers a deceptively simple framework: Feels Right, Fits In, Makes Sense-three forces that explain why ideas take hold, why we cling to them even when they harm us, and how to reshape beliefs that actually support better mental health, clearer decision-making, and stronger leadership. Fitzpatrick's insights come from deep research and lived experience. Early struggles with mental health set him on a lifelong path to understand how beliefs form and how they can change-a journey that led him to study the science of influence at Harvard and MIT and advise organisations across 33 countries. Through that work, he explains: Why the inner voice you trust most might be lying to you Why smart leaders make terrible decisions Why teams resist great strategies Why the harder you argue, the more people dig in Your inner story war never ends. But now, you can choose which side wins.…

Hardback. Condición: New. The next big interface won't be on your screen-it will be the space between your intention and the result. In Invisible Interface, operator-investor Harry Glorikian explains how artificial intelligence is quietly moving us from "open an app and tap" to "say what you want and it gets done." The shift sounds small. It's not. When software becomes invisible, trust becomes the interface. Glorikian introduces the concept of the Personal Operating Layer (POL)-a helpful, always-on teammate that understands your context, coordinates across your tools, and acts on your behalf while keeping you in control. A true POL does five things well: it remembers what matters to you, reasons across your information, reaches into apps and services to take action, reflects on results to improve next time, and respects your boundaries with clear controls you can see and stop. This is a practical book for busy people who need outcomes. Glorikian defines a new measure for trust-proof-seconds, the time it takes to verify that an answer is correct. If it takes under ten seconds to confirm, users will return the next day. From there, the book gets concrete: Receipts that show sources and confidence, right on the result. Overrides (a visible stop button) so humans can correct the system in the moment. Audits so teams can learn, comply, and improve. Invisible Interface reveals how the economics of intelligence are changing-how cheaper cognition flips business models and reshapes who captures value. It shows why defaults decide: in a world of agent-to-agent commerce, the product that becomes the "one-slot pick" wins the customer in seconds. And it demonstrates how to redesign work, so people focus on judgment and relationships while agents handle the grind. Drawing on examples from healthcare, finance, and everyday life, Glorikian translates the technical into the practical, providing tools leaders can apply immediately-a Decision-Friction Index to prioritise automation, a Beacon/Receipt framework for building trustworthy products, and an Agent Experience Optimisation checklist to help organisations earn default status. If your strategy still starts with "build another app," you're aiming at yesterday. Invisible Interface is the field guide to leading when decisions happen at the speed of intent.…

Hardback. Condición: New. Teams don't get stuck because of poor communication skills. They get stuck because smart, capable people choose not to speak up-and leaders rarely notice until those patterns are hardwired. People talk in circles, revisit old decisions, and mistake activity for progress. The result is conversational debt-the compound cost of the conversations people avoid. Not because they're afraid, but because they've learned that speaking up doesn't change anything. Forward Talk exposes this hidden force that quietly drains performance, trust, and alignment. It reveals why the corporate obsession with "psychological safety" has become a bandage for deeper issues, how well-intended teams hide behind politeness, and what it takes to break through the false harmony that prevents real progress. Drawing on twenty-five years of facilitating high-stakes conversations with Fortune 500 leaders and frontline teams in more than thirty countries, Gustavo Razzetti introduces a research-backed, practice-proven framework for turning stuck conversations into forward movement. Readers will learn to recognise and reverse the three destructive conversational patterns that keep teams trapped: Avoidance: staying silent or skirting the real issue, hoping it resolves itself Blame: focusing on who's at fault instead of what's next Groupthink: chasing false harmony and mistaking agreement for alignment Through real stories, diagnostic tools, and actionable practices, Forward Talk helps teams rebuild voice, agency, and momentum. It's for leaders, facilitators, HR professionals, and change agents who know that success isn't determined by effort-it's determined by whether people believe their voices matter. …
