From the New York Times best-selling author of Unaccountable comes an eye-opening, urgent look at America's broken health care system - and the people who are saving it. One in five Americans now has medical debt in collections and rising health care costs today threaten every small business in America. Dr Makary, one of the nation's leading health care experts, travels across America and details why health care has become a bubble. Drawing from on-the-ground stories, his research and his own experience, The Price We Pay paints a vivid picture of price-gouging, middlemen and a series of elusive money games in need of a serious shake-up. Dr Makary shows how so much of health care spending goes to things that have nothing to do with health and what you can do about it. Dr Makary challenges the medical establishment to remember medicine's noble heritage of caring for people when they are vulnerable.The Price We Pay offers a road map for everyday Americans and business leaders to get a better deal on their health care and profiles the disruptors who are innovating medical care.

In this "handbook for disruptors" (Eric Schmidt), The Geek Way reveals a new way to get big things done. It will change the way you think about work, teams, projects, and culture, and give you the insight and tools you need to harness our human superpowers of learning and cooperation.What is “being geeky?” It’s being a perennially curious person, one who's not afraid to tackle hard problems and embrace unconventional solutions. McAfee shows how the geeks have created a new culture based around four norms: science, ownership, speed, and openness. The geek way seems odd at first. It's not deferential to experts, fond of planning and process, afraid of mistakes, or obsessed with "winning." But it explains everything from why Montessori babies turn out to be creative tinkerers to how newcomers are disrupting industry after industry (and still just getting started). When all four norms are in place, a culture emerges that is freewheeling, fast-moving, egalitarian, evidence-driven, argumentative, and autonomous. Why does the geek way work so much better? McAfee provides an original answer: because it taps into humanity's superpower, which is our ability to cooperate intensely and learn rapidly. By providing insights from the young discipline of cultural evolution, McAfee shows that when we come together under the right conditions, we quickly figure out how to build reusable spaceships and self-correcting organizations. Under the wrong conditions, though, we create bureaucracy, chronic delays, cultures of silence, and the other classic dysfunctions of the Industrial Era. Mixing cutting-edge science, history, analysis, and stories that show the geek way in action, McAfee offers a new way to see the world and empowering tools for seizing the big opportunities of today and tomorrow.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Leaders need guidance on leading change grounded in the latest science, not 20th-century myths. In this updated 2019 edition of The Science of Organizational Change, Paul takes us on a journey from change mythology, from New Age change ideas, from "reports in drawers", and from pop psychology up to the present.In the first comprehensive treatment of behavioral science in business, you'll learn which cognitive biases caused the 2008 Financial Crisis, Enron, and the Deepwater Horizon. Later in the book, you'll discover how evidence-based management is helping leading businesses including Google.There are new concepts such as change-agility that answer the question - "how can organizations be more responsive, so they are the disruptors, rather than the disruptees?" Turbulent environments demand constant change, but the mindset, skills, and behaviors taught to business leaders are unhelpful and sometimes flatly misleading.In The Science of Organizational Change, Paul offers the first blueprint for change for that fully reflects the newest advances in mindfulness, behavioral economics, sociology, and complexity theory.The Science of Organizational Change first identifies dozens of change management myths, bad models, and unhelpful metaphors, replacing some with twenty-first-century research. Gibbons links the origins of theories about change to the history of ideas and suggests that the human sciences will provide real breakthroughs in our understanding of people in the twenty-first century. For example, change fundamentally entails risk, yet little is written for business people about how breakthroughs in the psychology of risk can help change leaders. Change fundamentally involves changing people's minds, yet the most recent research shows that the provision of facts may strengthen resistance. Starting with a rigorous and evidence-based understanding of what makes people in organizations tick, he presents a complete framework for organizing your company around successful change. With case studies from Google, IBM, Shell, British Airways, British Petroleum, HSBC, and Morgan Stanley, Gibbons goes deeper and broader than any previous discussion of the subject.In this multi-disciplinary treatment of change leadership, you will learn: How a deeper understanding of flaws in human decision-making can help you make far better choices when the stakes are largest.How new advances in neuroscience have altered best practices in influencing colleagues, negotiating with partners, engaging followers' hearts, minds, and behaviors, and managing resistance.How to bring greater meaning and mindfulness to your organization - and reap their benefits.How new ideas from analytics, forecasting, and risk are humbling those who thought they knew the future - and how the human side of analytics and the psychology of risk are paradoxically more important in this technologically enabled world.How to improve your boardroom, promoting more effective conversations about strategy, ethics, and decision-making.What chaos and complexity theories mean in the context of your own business.How to create resilient and agile business cultures, and anti-fragile, dynamic business structures.To link science with your "on-the-ground" reality, Gibbons interviews top CEOs who are applying its principles. You'll find case studies from well-known companies like IBM and Shell; and deeply relevant quotations from history's greatest leaders and thinkers.Hailed as "the best book on change in 15 years" and a book that belongs alongside classics such as The Halo Effect, Switch, and the Fifth Discipline - The Science of Organizational Change is a must-read for senior executives and change experts alike.

Chen flips the script with a character-driven narrative, exposing the people who fueled the industry (not necessarily the folks you’d expect) and what motivated them (not necessarily unadulterated greed). Gamers will find this book impossible to put down, as will anyone who loves a good origin story."—Apple Books, Best of the Month selection  "Fans of financial thrillers such as Barbarians at the Gate will be excited by this insider account of the dizzying rise of fantasy sports websites"—Publishers Weekly  You've seen the commercials. Here is the untold story behind the clash of billion dollar companies that unleashed an unprecedented advertising war. From Sports Illustrated's Albert Chen comes the story of two companies whose battle unleashed a carpet bombing of advertising as they sought supremacy in an exploding fantasy sports and gambling market: In a time of gushing venture capital money, FanDuel and DraftKings turned into billion-dollar companies seemingly overnight — then, just as quickly, found themselves the target of FBI and Department of Justice investigations, and facing likely destruction. Chen tells the story of the improbable individuals behind the saga: An Irishman who knew nothing about American sports. A fantasy geek who felt it was his destiny to change the way fellow nerds watched the games they loved. A conflicted poker player. A mother of three in Scotland. In a character-driven narrative with excursions into the strange and unexpected, Chen takes us from casinos to board rooms, from Edinburgh to Wall Street to the Vegas Strip, to tell a sprawling and intimate tale of the new world that this group of accidental disruptors helped to create. It’s a story of ideas and dreams, about a world of risk, luck, hubris, greed and redemption—a story for our high-stakes times. Read more

From war zones to global stages, from quiet betrayals to bold acts of defiance, You Will Not Erase Me explores what it means to be erased by systems yet remembered through art.This is not a pity story.Not vengeance in verse.This is survival as testimony.Protest as poetry.A reclamation of labor, voice, and legacy.Inside these pages, you’ll find:• A raw, lyrical journey through erasure and resilience• A collection that blurs the line between art and activism• A call to artists, advocates, and dreamers who are done asking for permissionThis book is for:• The women who upheld feminism but were left behind by it• The storytellers whose creative labor changed the world without acknowledgment• The global advocates who built the room but weren’t handed the mic• The cultural workers, disruptors, and survivors who write themselves back into historyIf you’ve ever been told to stay quiet, to play small, or to wait your turn, this book is for you.Because when the world tries to erase you,you write yourself back into it.Praise for You Will Not Erase Me“You are a true poet… these poems are beautiful and touching.”Countess Albina du Boisrouvray, global philanthropist and founder of FXB International“The emotional impact of your memoir is, for me, on the level of immersing in Seamus Heaney’s prose.

Humane-scale, eco-logical, urban forms and functions emerge over millennia; epitomised in European central cities from the North to the South and West to East, irrespective of climate and culture. These timeless-design cities are renowned as eminently liveable; but all cities are hot: thermally massive sinks and radiators - urban-climate disruptors, global-climate-change agents. Fortuitously, in the timeless form and function, moderator potentials for urban cooling are in-built.Review: In "Timeless Cities: A Blueprint for Livable and Sustainable Urban Ecology," Professor Samuels takes readers on a deep dive into the world of urban design theory and practice. The book's 300 plus pages may be challenging for some readers, but those who persevere will be rewarded with a wealth of insights and ideas.Samuels' encyclopedic knowledge of urban design is evident throughout the book, as he draws connections between seemingly disparate fields and concepts. His exploration of the relationship between urban form and climate change is particularly sobering, highlighting the urgent need for a new approach to city-making.In the footsteps of popular urban design books like "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" or "Happy City," this is an important contribution to the field, one that will be valued by serious students and practitioners of urban design. For those willing to grapple with its complexities, this book offers a roadmap for creating truly sustainable, livable cities. Read more
