A must-read for every CEO and high-level executive, ALL enables executives to become active participants in the dialogue around diversity, equity and inclusion.
ALL may be the first book to document how diversity in the workplace is broken and why. Its insights extend across a diverse group, including white, black, Latinx, & Asian men and women, as well as LGBTQ+ and disabled individuals.
Author and CEO of Purpose Brand, Diane Primo, is an entrepreneur and visionary thought leader on diversity and purpose with two decades of experience in Fortune 500 C-suite roles.
The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the Atlantic's happiness columnist Arthur Brooks.
Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs.
What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success?
At the height of his career at the age of 50, Arthur Brooks embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from one of disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. From Strength to Strength is the result, a practical roadmap for the rest of your life.
Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness.
Read this book and you, too, can go from strength to strength.
Have you ever watched your horse do something that defies human logic and wondered, “Why does my horse act this way?”
If so, you’re not alone. Horses are designed to survive in the wild, yet occasionally the wires between domestication and instinct get crossed. Meredith Hill is back with her equine expertise to explain:
✓ How horses act in the wild
✓ How some of these behaviors manifest in the stable
✓ And what you can do about it!
Have you ever wished your horse had the power of speech for just a few minutes, so they could explain why they’re acting crazy? Horses can be complicated and mysterious creatures, but often, their behavior is the direct result of
✓ Pain and discomfort
✓ Prior training flaws
✓ Abuse or neglect in a former home
In many cases, behavioral issues can be addressed with empathy and training. In Why Does My Horse Act Like This? Understanding Equine Behavior in your New Horse, Meredith Hill will explain the whys and hows of problem horses, including issues like
✓ Bucking
✓ Bolting
✓ Biting
✓ And acting politely when being handled by humans
Ms. Hill also addresses when to call a professional, and how to gauge whether a particular professional is going to be beneficial for you and your horse.
As responsible horse owners, we want our equine companions to be healthy and happy. In Why Does My Horse Act Like This? Understanding Equine Behavior in your New Horse, Meredith Hill helps you understand what your horse’s behavior is telling you, and what you can do to make life a little more comfortable for everyone involved.

The instant New York Times bestseller about humanity's place in the universe—and how we understand it.
“Vivid...impressive....Splendidly informative.”—The New York Times
“Succeeds spectacularly.”—Science
“A tour de force.”—Salon
Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on Higgs bosons and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions: Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void? Do human purpose and meaning fit into a scientific worldview?
In short chapters filled with intriguing historical anecdotes, personal asides, and rigorous exposition, readers learn the difference between how the world works at the quantum level, the cosmic level, and the human level—and then how each connects to the other. Carroll's presentation of the principles that have guided the scientific revolution from Darwin and Einstein to the origins of life, consciousness, and the universe is dazzlingly unique.
Carroll shows how an avalanche of discoveries in the past few hundred years has changed our world and what really matters to us. Our lives are dwarfed like never before by the immensity of space and time, but they are redeemed by our capacity to comprehend it and give it meaning.
The Big Picture is an unprecedented scientific worldview, a tour de force that will sit on shelves alongside the works of Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Daniel Dennett, and E. O. Wilson for years to come.
“A true crime tale told with earnest compassion and cultural sensitivity…with a great deal of empathy, as well as an ample amount of detail…offering an intimacy that many true-crime stories lack." – Kirkus Reviews
While volunteering at a women's prison, Doug stumbles upon Panna Krom's story. A gut-wrenching tragedy that would send him on a meandering near-impossible mission to try to correct an appalling injustice.
Panna, the 17-year-old daughter of a Cambodian refugee family, went from hiding an unwanted pregnancy to being charged in a highly-publicized murder case. That ultimately earned her an 18-year sentence.
With no legal credentials, Doug exposes a broken criminal justice system which had ignored crucial facts and discovered other surprising prison sentences for crimes identical to Panna’s.
Daughter of Song is a gripping account of a bold attempt to right an irreparable wrong while spanning dangerous treks through the Khmer Rouge-controlled jungles of Cambodia and the suffering of wasted years behind bars.
“Compelling…gripping…incredible reporting…very fine writing.” – Amy Nutt, Washington Post Columnist, Author and Pulitzer Prize Winner
“I just had the pleasure of reading your manuscript. It's incredible; the story itself is powerful and moving. Congratulations on completing such a wonderful book; I'm inspired by your example.” – Rachel E. Barkow, Vice Dean and Charles Seligson Professor of Law, NYU School of Law

An innovator’s guide to embracing ambiguity and reimagining what’s possible.
Ambiguity—a lack of clarity—is traditionally viewed as negative, a fuzziness to be corrected. Many people resist uncertainty and change, preferring instead the comfortable idea that what was or what is are inherently better options than what might be.

To them, ambiguity is a valuable resource for innovation, a space of endless possibility where perceived risk becomes the framework for professional transformation.
Leading in Ambiguity is a visually engaging guide for anyone who aspires to help teams and organizations manage ambiguity capacity as they move away from stagnation and toward resilience. Throughout, Elster and Christensen lay out the steps to achieving true innovation in your workplace, from ideas to actions. They’ll guide you through assessing your current roadblocks, identifying your aspirations for growth, and exploring the mindset and design principles that will lead you and your team through an exciting shift in how you think, act, and create. Leading in Ambiguity will come in handy when you’re ready to face uncertainty with empathy and creativity.
