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.

Information Wars, by former Time editor and Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Richard Stengel, provides a first-hand account of the challenges faced by the U.S. in combating the rise of global disinformation, which played a significant role in the 2016 election.

Disinformation is not a new phenomenon, but social media has amplified its reach and effects. Stengel's narrative, both dramatic and enlightening, takes readers through the front lines of the global information war during the last three years of the Obama administration. As the single person in the U.S. government responsible for addressing ISIS's messaging and Russian disinformation, Stengel's insights are crucial for understanding the current landscape.

The book delves into regions such as Russia, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, featuring key figures including Putin, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Mohamed bin Salman. It examines how ISIS utilized social media to instill terror and how Russia's disinformation campaign during the annexation of Crimea became a template for future operations, including interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Information Wars is an urgent call to action, emphasizing the need for democratic societies to develop effective strategies to counteract the growing threat of disinformation and protect the integrity of their institutions.

Sorted is an unflinching and endearing memoir from LGBTQ+ advocate Jackson Bird, detailing his journey to sorting things out and coming out as a transgender man. Assigned female at birth and raised as a girl, Jackson often wondered if he should have been born a boy. Growing up in Texas without transgender role models, he kept his thoughts to himself.

Through journal entries and candid recollections, Jackson chronicles the challenges of growing up gender-confused and the loneliness of coming to terms with his gender and bisexual identity. He shares the obstacles and quirks of his transition, from figuring out chest binders to emotional breakdowns at fan conventions, and from his first shot of testosterone to his top surgery.

With warmth, wit, and educational insights, Jackson's narrative not only sheds light on the many facets of a transgender life but also highlights the power and beauty of being true to oneself. Sorted is a testament to the importance of self-discovery and embracing one's identity.

The Emperor needs necromancers.

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead nonsense.

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.

Of course, some things are better left dead.

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.

Lost Connections offers a radical new way of thinking about depression and anxiety. Award-winning journalist Johann Hari presents a challenge to the conventional understanding of mental health, suggesting that the real causes of depression and anxiety are largely rooted in the way we live today. Hari's thorough investigation leads him to discover nine different causes of depression and anxiety, which are not primarily biological, but rather are connected to social and environmental factors.

Hari's journey takes him to a variety of places, from the tunnels beneath Las Vegas to an Amish community in Indiana, and to a Berlin uprising, all of which provide a vivid and dramatic illustration of the new insights into mental health. These insights pave the way for solutions that are markedly different from the traditional approaches, offering real hope for those affected by these conditions.

Lost Connections not only transforms our understanding of depression and anxiety but also prompts a broader debate on the subject, emphasizing the need for collective efforts to end the epidemic of mental health issues.

At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves.

In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities—that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves. Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism.

This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society.

In his extraordinary and inspiring debut memoir, Jesse Thistle, once a high school dropout and now a rising Indigenous scholar, chronicles his life on the streets and how he overcame trauma and addiction to discover the truth about who he is. If I can just make it to the next minute...then I might have a chance to live; I might have a chance to be something more than just a struggling crackhead.

From the Ashes is a remarkable memoir about hope and resilience, and a revelatory look into the life of a M�tis-Cree man who refused to give up. Abandoned by his parents as a toddler, Jesse Thistle briefly found himself in the foster-care system with his two brothers, cut off from all they had known. Eventually the children landed in the home of their paternal grandparents, whose tough-love attitudes quickly resulted in conflicts. Throughout it all, the ghost of Jesse's drug-addicted father haunted the halls of the house and the memories of every family member.

Struggling with all that had happened, Jesse succumbed to a self-destructive cycle of drug and alcohol addiction and petty crime, spending more than a decade on and off the streets, often homeless. Finally, he realized he would die unless he turned his life around. In this heartwarming and heart-wrenching memoir, Jesse Thistle writes honestly and fearlessly about his painful past, the abuse he endured, and how he uncovered the truth about his parents. Through sheer perseverance and education—and newfound love—he found his way back into the circle of his Indigenous culture and family.

An eloquent exploration of the impact of prejudice and racism, From the Ashes is, in the end, about how love and support can help us find happiness despite the odds.

From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity. Benjamin argues that automation, far from being a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark web, has the potential to hide, speed up, and deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to the racism of a previous era.

Presenting the concept of the “New Jim Code,” she shows how a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies; by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions; or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. Moreover, she makes a compelling case for race itself as a kind of technology, designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice in the architecture of everyday life.

This illuminating guide provides conceptual tools for decoding tech promises with sociologically informed skepticism. In doing so, it challenges us to question not only the technologies we are sold but also the ones we ourselves manufacture.

Book three in Frank Herbert's magnificent Dune Chronicles—one of the most significant sagas in the history of literary science fiction.

The Children of Dune are twin siblings Leto and Ghanima Atreides, whose father, the Emperor Paul Muad'Dib, disappeared in the desert wastelands of Arrakis nine years ago. Like their father, the twins possess supernormal abilities—making them valuable to their manipulative aunt Alia, who rules the Empire in the name of House Atreides.

Facing treason and rebellion on two fronts, Alia's rule is not absolute. The displaced House Corrino is plotting to regain the throne while the fanatical Fremen are being provoked into open revolt by the enigmatic figure known only as The Preacher. Alia believes that by obtaining the secrets of the twins' prophetic visions, she can maintain control over her dynasty.

But Leto and Ghanima have their own plans for their visions—and their destinies....

Includes an introduction by Brian Herbert.

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.

Biased by Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt is a compelling examination of unconscious racial bias and its profound impact on society and criminal justice. Eberhardt, a leading expert in the field, offers both a scientific and personal perspective on one of the most challenging issues of our time.

Despite our best intentions, racial bias can infiltrate our perception, attention, memory, and actions, leading to disparities in various aspects of life, including education, employment, and housing. These disparities, in turn, perpetuate the bias. Eberhardt's work extends beyond the laboratory, engaging with law enforcement, courtrooms, and the streets, offering a comprehensive view of how bias operates in real-world settings.

The book is informed by Eberhardt's research, including analysis of police body camera footage, and is enriched with interviews, personal anecdotes, and practical suggestions for reform. Biased confronts the uncomfortable reality that racial bias is a pervasive human problem, one that all individuals have the power to address and overcome.

Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez is a groundbreaking book that brings to light the gender bias that permeates our society. The book reveals how the world is largely built for and by men, leading to a systemic disregard for women's experiences. This bias manifests itself in various aspects of life, from medical research to technology, workplaces, and even urban planning.

The author compiles an array of case studies, stories, and new research from around the globe, illustrating the 'invisible' ways in which women are consistently overlooked, and the significant consequences this has on their lives. Invisible Women uncovers the 'gender data gap,' which has led to widespread and systemic discrimination against women, affecting their health, safety, and economic well-being.

Through this compelling narrative, Perez advocates for change, urging us to view the world through a more equitable lens. This book is not just an eye-opener but a call to action for a more just society where both men and women are equally considered.

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.

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.
