Advice on careers and achieving success Books
Crown Currency The Happiness Advantage
Book SynopsisINTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER ?The happy secret to greater success and fulfillment in work and life?a must-read for everyone trying to flourish in a world of increasing stress and negativity?Thoughtfully lays out the steps to increasing workplace positivity.??ForbesIn the book that inspired one of the most popular TED Talks of all time, New York Times bestselling author Shawn Achor reveals how rewiring our brain for happiness helps us achieve more in our careers and our relationships and as students, leaders, and parents.Conventional wisdom holds that once we succeed, we?ll be happy; that once we get that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But the science reveals this formula to be backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around.Research shows that happy employees are more productive, more creative, and better problem solvers than their unhappy peers. And positive people are significantly healthier and less stressed and enjoy deeper social interaction than the less positive people around them.Drawing on his original research?including one of the largest studies of happiness ever conducted?and work in boardrooms and classrooms across forty-two countries, Achor shows us how to rewire our brains for positivity and optimism to reap the happiness advantage in our lives, our careers, and even our health. His strategies include:? The Tetris Effect: how to retrain our brains to spot patterns of possibility so we can see and seize opportunities all around us? Social Investment: how to earn the dividends of a strong social support network? The Ripple Effect: how to spread positive change within our teams, companies, and familiesBy turns fascinating, hopeful, and timely, The Happiness Advantage reveals how small shifts in our mind-set and habits can produce big gains at work, at home, and elsewhere.

Nick Hern Books Writing Music for the Stage: A Practical Guide
Book SynopsisThe definitive guide to writing music for the stage, by the Composer-in-Residence at the Donmar Warehouse. Music has played a vital part in drama since the earliest days of theatre. For composers, writing music for the stage is an opportunity to exercise their utmost creativity and versatility: a good musical score will both support and enhance the play it serves, and can lift a prosaic moment into something quite extraordinary. In this book, Michael Bruce takes you through the entire process – from initial preparation, through composition, rehearsals and recording, and finally to performance. He covers everything a composer needs to know, including: • Getting started – spotting when and how music might be used in a play, doing research, considering form and content • Building a 'sound world' – finding and using source music, creating incidental music, choosing the best instrumentation, scoring, utilising technology, writing music to accompany song lyrics • Working on the production – understanding the composer's role in rehearsals, collaborating with key creatives, employing actor-musicians, getting the show on • Recording – knowing when to record, booking and working with musicians – and the studio engineer, running a recording session Throughout the book, the author draws on his own experience of creating music for a wide variety of plays at the Donmar Warehouse, the National Theatre, in the West End and on Broadway, including detailed case studies of his work on The Recruiting Officer, Coriolanus, Privacy, The Winslow Boy, Noises Off and Strange Interlude. The book is accompanied by online excerpts from his scores. An essential companion for all composers – amateur, student or professional – Writing Music for the Stage is also invaluable reading for other theatre professionals, including directors, playwrights, producers, actors, designers and sound designers – in fact, for anyone seeking to understand how music helps to create worlds and tell stories on stage. 'This fascinating book – like its author (with whom I've had the good fortune to work on three productions) – is bursting with practical advice, good sense and invention. A must-read for all those with an interest in how music works on stage.' Mark Gatiss 'A good score makes a world of difference to an actor. Read Michael Bruce's book and you'll understand why. He is a genius.' Judi Dench 'Michael's music is wonderful: inclusive, original, respectful and – in its rightness – sheer joy.' Josie Rourke, from her ForewordTrade Review'plenty of detailed practical advice here for you wherever you are in your learning journey. It’s also a good read for anyone who simply wants to understand how theatrical music works without necessarily wanting to create it.' -- Susan Elkin * susanelkin.co.uk *'A joy to read… an incredibly interesting viewpoint of this vital aspect of the creation of a performance… Michael Bruce successfully conveys his passion and work ethic, constantly inspiring the reader and encouraging us to continue to learn from his words' * Drama Magazine *

Familius LLC What Would Gen-Z Do?: Everything You Don't Know
Book SynopsisWhen interacting with Gen-Zers, whether you be their parent, teacher, coach, relative, neighbor, or anything in between, the generational divide can seem larger than ever. Gen-Zers ignore you, they refuse to turn on their Zoom cameras, they procrastinate, they make strange jokes, they have short attention spans, and they take so many selfies. But that isn’t all there is to Generation Z. What Would Gen-Z Do? will help you reach across the generational divide and learn how to navigate your relationships with Gen-Zers. In this guide to everything Gen-Z, John Schlimm, Harvard-trained educator and Gen-Z advocate, uses his extensive experience in working with the younger generation to offer some insight for anyone who’s navigating the Gen-Z universe. In 51 chapters, you’ll find quick, relatable lessons and activity ideas that crush the stereotypes and stigmas of Generation Z and shed light on who your Gen-Zers really are—intelligent, compassionate, courageous, and honest future leaders. Love them, appreciate them, and encourage them to rock on!Trade Review“Being the first Gen-Zer to visit space, I realize that my generation will bring many new possibilities to the world. Much will change from technologies to how we look at each other. What Would Gen-Z Do? describes and predicts how this will affect everyone and everything around us. For older generations especially, this book will act as a guideline for how to communicate with me and all the other Gen-Zers.” - Oliver Daemen, First Gen-Zer in Space, Blue Origin NS-16 “John Schlimm is undoubtedly right that Gen-Z will prove to be the most influential and impactful generation in history. Coming from an earlier generation, I’m grateful for this holistic look at Gen-Z mindsets and belief systems. What Would Gen-Z Do? will be my guide!” - Patrick Moore, Director, The Andy Warhol Museum "Having my own Gen-Zer, I can attest that John Schlimm is spot on about this generation of young people: they are resilient, multi-layered, and often misunderstood. That’s why his new book, What Would Gen-Z Do?, is a must-have guidebook for anyone who parents, teaches, mentors, coaches, or loves a Gen-Zer and wants to understand them better. And in typical Schlimm style, it’s not only accessible and creative but also full of heart.” - Lory Hough, Editor, Harvard Ed. magazine "As a psychiatrist who regularly interacts with Gen-Zers, I can confidently state that John Schlimm hits the nail on the head in What Would Gen-Z Do? with his insight surrounding their ability to smash stereotypes. As a society, particularly in the mental health arena, we owe a lot to the Gen-Zers and their ability to acknowledge the existence of mental illness and promote treatment. Keep up the great work, Gen-Z and John!" - Micah T. Hoffman, MD, DABPN, FAPA, QME, CIME, Behavioral Health Medical Director, Allmed Healthcare Management

Not Stated Same as Ever
Book SynopsisFrom the author of the international blockbuster The Psychology of Money, a powerful tool to unlock one of life''s most challenging puzzlesEvery investment plan under the sun is, at best, an informed speculation of what may happen in the future, based on a systematic extrapolation from the known past. Same as Ever reverses the process, inviting us to identify the many things that never, ever change. With his usual élan, Morgan Housel presents a master class on optimizing risk, seizing opportunity, and living your best life. Through a sequence of engaging stories and pithy examples, he shows how we can use our newfound grasp of the unchanging to see around corners, not by squinting harder through the uncertain landscape of the future, but by looking backward, being more broad-sighted, and focusing instead on what is permanently true. By doing so, we may better anticipate the big stuff and achieve the greatest success, not merely financial comforts, but most important, a life well lived.

But that’s exactly what they did! Through this thrilling, motivating and inspiring story of triumph over seemingly impossible odds, Kevin shares the 80 world-beating lessons that he and his team used to beat the best at their own game.

Because all workers in the gig economy need to bluntly pose this question to themselves, The Gig Is Up is designed to answer this one key point head-on, giving readers innovative tools like Unique Value Proposition to confidently step up. The Gig Is Up offers the best boots-on-the-ground methods for success, by evolving the reader's perspective and process. Many books on the gig economy focus on letting people live out their dreams, instead of looking at the realities of what it truly takes to win in a world of increasing choice. People need to understand how to compete and how to put the best version of themselves up front and center. The goal in competing today is to not only be chosen, but to move toward becoming the only choice, over and over again

Wharton Digital Press Beating Burnout at Work: Why Teams Hold the
Book SynopsisA first-of-its-kind, science-backed toolkit takes a holistic approach to burnout prevention by helping individuals, teams, and leaders build resilience and thrive at work. Burnout has become one of the most talked about workplace topics, and its impact is far-reaching. The 24/7 pace of work, constant demands, and scant resources can easily put busy professionals on a path to burnout, a cycle that has only accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout affects the health and well-being of the entire organization, yet most attempts to help focus on quick-fix strategies aimed at individuals. Something is missing. In Beating Burnout at Work: Why Teams Hold the Secret to Well-Being and Resilience, Paula Davis, founder of the Stress & Resilience Institute, provides a new framework to help organizations prevent employee burnout. Davis's research-driven, fast-reading, and actionable book is the first of its kind to explore a new solution to the burnout problem at work: a comprehensive approach focused on building the resilience of teams of all sizes. Davis argues that teams, and their leaders, are uniquely positioned to create the type of cultures that are needed to prevent burnout. In Beating Burnout at Work, Davis shares stories from her work coaching, teaching, and training leaders and teams of all sizes, and she explores:How she navigated her own burnout as a lawyer, and how that led her to study burnout and launch a business with the aim of helping organizations and their employees become more resilient; How teams and leaders can utilize simple, science-backed strategies to create cultures that promote resilience and well-being and reduce burnout; How the Mayo Clinic, one of the most renowned medical centers in the world, has developed a powerful model to reduce burnout in its organization; How organizations dealing with high-stress challenges, including the US Army, work to increase resilience in a systemic way; andHow the German company trivago is piloting a new approach to work amid COVID-19 in order to increase team connection and resilience.Solving the burnout puzzle requires a systemic approach. In Beating Burnout at Work, Davis offers an actionable method to help leaders create cultures of well-being and resilience in their organizations.Trade Review"Timely lessons, in mercifully compact form." * Financial Times *"Searching, empathetic, and timely . . . . Davis describes the burnout process as more complicated than simply being tired from working too hard; she views it as a manifestation of chronic workplace stress, and as a 'gateway process' to more serious health problems, such as depression and panic attacks. She asserts that the key to getting through burnout is to avoid trying to do so alone. The silver bullet, she says, is teamwork." * Kirkus *"Building resilience is a team sport, not an individual trait. In this groundbreaking book, Paula Davis gives us a roadmap for creating stronger teams and sustainable well-being.

Beating Burnout at Work highlights how we can diagnose burnout, and how leaders can change work practices to ensure their employees are able to bounce back stronger and more resilient than before." * Dr. Jon M. Jachimowicz, Assistant Professor, Organizational Behavior Unit, Harvard Business School *"Not only was Beating Burnout at Work informative, but reading it was delightful. Davis nailed the art of delivering complex, evidence-based information using accessible language, a smooth cadence and such a relatable voice. Best of all is the way she animated key points with anecdotes and storytelling. Here is how engaged I was: If the book were a person I would take it to lunch immediately just to swap stories with a smart friend." * Alyssa Brennan, Director, Strategic Projects, Global Security & Resilience Services at Google *"The unique team and systems approach in Beating Burnout at Work is practical and goes beyond treating the symptoms of individual burnout to identifying and treating root causes that impact everyone in the work environment. This sets the stage for lasting change." * Beth Hammer, MSN, RN, ANP-BC *"I don't remember being a part of a team that enjoys getting together and talking through issues as much as the group I'm working with now, and I can credit much of that to the tools Paula gave us and shares in her book, Beating Burnout at Work." * Lauren A. Shure, Maj, USAF, Deputy Chief, Special Victims' Counsel *"Understanding how to avoid burnout and build resilience in yourself and in your team is, more than ever, a foundational and essential skill. No one understands this topic more deeply than Paula Davis, and in Beating Burnout at Work she outlines a powerful data-driven and research-based framework for countering burnout." * Jack Newton, CEO and Founder, Clio, and author of The Client-Centered Law Firm *"Paula is a thought leader in the application of the science of resilience to teams, and I'm excited that she has translated her incredible work into such a user-friendly guide for leaders and organizations.
