Want to avoid business disasters, whether minor mishaps, such as excessive team conflict, or major calamities like those that threaten bankruptcy or doom a promising career? Fortunately, behavioral economics studies show that such disasters stem from poor decisions due to our faulty mental patterns—what scholars call “cognitive biases”—and are preventable.

Unfortunately, the typical advice for business leaders to “go with their guts” plays into these cognitive biases and leads to disastrous decisions that devastate the bottom line. By combining practical case studies with cutting-edge research, Never Go With Your Gut will help you make the best decisions and prevent these business disasters.

The leading expert on avoiding business disasters, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, draws on over 20 years of extensive consulting, coaching, and speaking experience to show how pioneering leaders and organizations—many of them his clients—avoid business disasters. Reading this book will enable you to:

• Discover how pioneering leaders and organizations address cognitive biases to avoid disastrous decisions.
• Adapt best practices on avoiding business disasters from these leaders and organizations to your own context.
• Develop processes that empower everyone in your organization to avoid business disasters.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, Simon Sinek presents a bold framework for leadership in today's ever-changing world. Asking the question, "How do we win a game that has no end?" Sinek contrasts finite games, like football or chess, which have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint, with infinite games, such as business, politics, or life itself, which have players who come and go, changeable rules, and no defined endpoint.

Infinite games have no winners or losers—only those who are ahead and those who are behind. Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset, where success is about pursuing a Just Cause and committing to a vision of a future world so compelling that we strive to build it continuously. Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset create stronger, more innovative, and more inspiring organizations, leading us into the future.

Indistractable provides a framework that will deliver the focus you need to get results. International bestselling author, former Stanford lecturer, and behavioral design expert, Nir Eyal, wrote Silicon Valley's handbook for making technology habit-forming. Five years after publishing Hooked, Eyal reveals distraction's Achilles' heel in his groundbreaking new book.

In Indistractable, Eyal reveals the hidden psychology driving us to distraction. He describes why solving the problem is not as simple as swearing off our devices: Abstinence is impractical and often makes us want more. Eyal lays bare the secret of finally doing what you say you will do with a four-step, research-backed model. Indistractable reveals the key to getting the best out of technology, without letting it get the best of us.

Inside, Eyal overturns conventional wisdom and reveals: Why distraction at work is a symptom of a dysfunctional company culture—and how to fix it; What really drives human behavior and why "time management is pain management"; Why your relationships (and your sex life) depend on you becoming indistractable; How to raise indistractable children in an increasingly distracting world.

Empowering and optimistic, Indistractable provides practical, novel techniques to control your time and attention—helping you live the life you really want.

Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World explores the benefits of being a generalist in a world that increasingly values specialization. While many believe that early specialization is the key to success, David Epstein presents compelling evidence that this is not always the case. Through rigorous research and engaging examples, Epstein demonstrates that generalists are often more creative, agile, and capable of making connections that their specialized peers might miss.

Instead of focusing on a single path from an early age, generalists tend to find their way later in life, embracing a wide range of experiences and interests. This breadth of knowledge allows them to adapt to complex and unpredictable fields. Epstein's work challenges the notion that efficiency is always the best approach, arguing for the value of cultivating inefficiency. He shows that those who experiment and fail, those who quit and move on to different pursuits, often end up with the most rewarding careers.

Provocative and thoroughly researched, Range encourages readers to rethink performance and success in various domains. It is a call to broaden our experiences and perspectives in a world where interdisciplinary thinking and diverse skill sets are becoming increasingly important.

Leadershift by internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell is a masterclass in leadership, teaching readers how to adapt, innovate, and influence in today's fast-paced business environment. The world changes rapidly, and leaders who cannot adapt and embrace new ways of thinking and leading will not succeed. Maxwell introduces the concept of 'leadershift'—essential changes leaders must make to enhance their organizational and personal growth.

Maxwell shares eleven shifts that have marked his long and successful leadership career, each one a strategic adjustment in thinking, acting, and ultimately leading. These shifts include the Adaptive Shift from Plan A to Option A, the Production Shift from Ladder Climbing to Ladder Building, and the Influence Shift from Positional Authority to Moral Authority. With specific guidance, Maxwell outlines how readers can implement these shifts in their own leadership journeys. Each shift is designed to help leaders be more effective in a world that is constantly evolving.

To truly move forward and stay ahead, leaders must be agile, visionary, and proactive—seeing more and before others. Leadershift empowers leaders with the tools and mindset necessary to navigate the complexities of modern business.

Daniel H. Pink, the #1 bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets to good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home. Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.

Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed.

How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married?

In When, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.
