Awaken Your Genius
A WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER Unlock your originality and unleash your unique talents with this simple guide from the acclaimed author of Think Like a Rocket Scientist. We say some people march to the beat of a different drummer. But implicit in this cliché is that the rest of us march to the same beat. We sleepwalk through life, find ourselves on well-worn paths that were never ours to walk, and become a silent extra in someone else’s story. Extraordinary people carve their own paths as leaders and creators. They think and act with genuine independence. They stand out from the crowd because they embody their own shape and color. We call these people geniuses—as if they’re another ...

The Democratic Coup d'État
The term coup d'état--French for stroke of the state--brings to mind coups staged by power-hungry generals who overthrow the existing regime, not to democratize, but to concentrate power in their own hands as dictators. We assume all coups look the same, smell the same, and present the same threats to democracy. It's a powerful, concise, and self-reinforcing idea. It's also wrong. In The Democratic Coup d'État, Ozan Varol advances a simple, yet controversial, argument: Sometimes, a democracy is established through a military coup. Covering events from the Athenian Navy's stance in 411 B.C. against a tyrannical home government, to coups in the American colonies that ousted corrupt British g...
Summary of Ozan Varol's Think Like a Rocket Scientist
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The media frenzy surrounding the discovery of organic molecules on a Martian meteorite in 1996 was a classic example of people trying to make something appear definite when in fact it isn’t. #2 Uncertainty is the enemy of certainty. You'll learn how our obsession with certainty leads us astray and why all progress takes place in uncertain conditions. You'll learn why rocket science resembles a high-stakes game of peekaboo, and what you can learn from Pluto's demotion as a planet. #3 The fear of the uncertain is universal. We are all programmed with the same fear of the unknown, and we spend far more time and effort on trying to control the world than on trying to understand it. #4 The quest for certainty leads us to pursue seemingly safe solutions, such as looking for our keys under street lamps. But it’s only when we sacrifice the certainty of answers and take our training wheels off that breakthroughs happen.
Unfairly Labeled
A blueprint for managing people, not generations Unfairly Labeled challenges the very concept of "generational differences" as an unfair generalization, and offers a roadmap to intergenerational understanding. While acknowledging that generational stereotypes exist, author Jessica Kriegel argues that they are wrong—and that it's unreasonable to assume that the millions of people born in the same 20-year time span are motivated by the same things, attracted to the same things, and should be dealt with in the same way. Kriegel's experience as Organizational Developer at Oracle puts her squarely in the talent strategy realm, where she works to optimize leadership development, team effectivene...

You’ll be inspired to consider the big questions of today: What does the future hold? What does the exponential growth of technology mean for the world of work?
