Over a decade ago, Tim Houlne wrote The New World of Work, suggesting that many businesses would shift from the cube to the cloud. Work wouldn’t just be conducted in the office, and employees could work remotely. While this declaration was met with much resistance, two years of the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything, and many more companies embraced the concept of remote work.

Today, Houlne believes we’re at another pivotal moment in history where work is about to change again. As Houlne shares in The Intelligent Workforce, we live in a world where everything is digital, and the lines between humans and machines continue to blur at an unfathomable rate. The new world of work has fundamentally shifted how businesses operate—providing employees with a real-time, constant stream of emails, messages, and digital communications.

Unfortunately, many executives are far behind the times. They think owning a smartphone or moving away from physical files to digital means they are current with technological trends. But entrepreneurs who plan to be in business for the long term must understand that the level of human and artificial intelligence interactions will increase at an even more rapid rate than digital transitions of the past. For managers, it is critical they adapt to this digital transformation and jobs reset. Work is changing, careers are shifting, and those long sought-after titles and levels of seniority once thought invaluable seemingly devalue by the day.

While many fear the future and see machines as a replacement for humanity, Houlne is more optimistic and sees an opportunity for humans and machines to co-create the future. As he details in The Intelligent Workforce, machines are precise while humans have intuition. Combined, these make a powerful combination. There will always be jobs that humans do better than machines and jobs that machines do better than humans.

Houlne believes that businesses that continue to invest in AI will accelerate and widen the gap between those that do not. He argues that for most organizations to survive in the coming decade, they must recognize the emerging patterns of the digital workforce, understand the impact these changes will have on their teams and customers, and then take proactive steps to work with rather than against these changes.

Crisis is inevitable. Chaos is not.

Every organization will face a crisis—whether it’s an executive scandal, a cybersecurity breach, workplace violence, or a PR disaster. The difference between brands that survive and those that collapse is simple: The ones that prepare, win.

In Crisis Compass, crisis communications expert Michele Ehrhart pulls back the curtain on what truly separates effective leaders from those who crack under pressure. Drawing on decades of high-stakes experience—including managing crises for one of the world’s largest global corporations—Ehrhart delivers a practical, no-nonsense road map for leaders, PR professionals, and executives who want to stay ahead of the storm.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• the fatal flaws in crisis plans—why most organizations fail when it matters most;
• crisis drills and rehearsals—the real reason your team thinks it’s ready (but isn’t);
• the 24-hour rule—how to control the narrative before the crisis controls you;
• silence vs. speed—why sometimes, saying nothing is the smartest move;
• social media strategy—how to handle misinformation, leaks, and public panic; and
• what comes after the fire—post-crisis strategies to rebuild trust and reputation.

Using compelling, real-world case studies—including firsthand experience from corporate crises that made global headlines—Ehrhart gives leaders the exact strategies they need to think, respond, and lead under pressure. Whether you’re a business executive, PR strategist, or crisis communicator, Crisis Compass will transform the way you approach high-stakes moments.

Ordinary to Extraordinary will give you valuable insights into developing your career, no matter your age or stage! Pursuing an extraordinary career is one of the best things you will ever do for yourself. It will bring you joy, friends, wisdom, treasures, stories, travels—and for author Pattie Dale Tye, a spouse. It will give you freedom and superpowers (to be used for good, not evil). You’ll be able to change lives—not just your own but legions of others. It will make you cry, wince, shout, curse, and miss vacations or family events. But in the end, it will be one of the best parts of your precious life.

Having a successful career—success means different things to different people—will enable you to live the life you want to lead and to give back and help others all along the way.

Too often, people have the mentality of “My job is nine to five.” Or, “I can’t wait for the end of the week and to end my thirty-year career so that I can move on with life.” But if you have the right perspective, your career—no matter what direction it takes or how many roles and titles it includes—can give you meaning and purpose, allowing you to use your gifts and talents in extraordinary ways. Tye’s goal is to help you see the treasure you are holding.

If you are at the start of your career, the world is your oyster, as the saying goes. Tye encourages you to enjoy the fact that you have this field of learning opportunity in front of you. Your gifts, talents, and drive to succeed are what others are looking for.

For those reentering the workforce, it’s important to reacquaint yourself with all the great things you’ve accomplished, the new skills you’ve acquired, and the education you have received from life itself. Tye wants to help you remember and then reimagine your career using the skills and experience that will set you up for success.

If you are entering the third stage of your career, the world needs your skills, wisdom, and experiences! Think about how your education and experience can promote you into higher positions you may have previously disqualified yourself from. Unlimited choices and paths lie ahead of you, and the great thing is that you get to choose where you want to go! If you still have it … use it!

And for everyone, from the day you graduate from college through to your third career stage, you will meet hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Treasure these connections, and maintain contact with as many people as possible. Maintaining these special relationships will build your network, which is one of the most important aspects of your career.

As you read this book, Tye would like you to keep in mind this universal principle: let each of you look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others. No matter where you are in your career, if you are always looking to help others achieve their goals, you are giving back, and you will reap the rewards for that generosity during your lifetime.

This book is designed to supercharge your leadership skills by triangulating winning leadership strategies from the U.S. Navy SEALs, professional sports, and executive business.

There is an undeniable demand for great leaders today. Individuals who excel as leaders are able to attract exceptional people to an organization and then foster a sense of connectedness within the team and to the company. The result is a more resilient organization in a fast-evolving world, a team that continuously strives for improvement, experiences lower turnover of valued personnel, and outperforms its competition.

Yet cultivating the next generation of exceptional leaders is an unmet challenge for most organizations. While they may recognize the need for developing the next leaders of their organizations, the training provided to those driven individuals is largely ineffective—or lacking altogether.

In Bullets, Basketballs & Boardrooms: Triangulating the Best Leadership Practices from Three Elite Disciplines, authors Dave Hubinger, Andrew Pence, and Jim Brogan share practical insights developed throughout their collective ninety years of experience in their individual professions—military special operations, professional sports, and executive business. These insights facilitate a leader’s better understanding of themselves and their ability to navigate the complex landscape of their role. That begins by having an intimate understanding of the values that drive an individual to excellence. With that deep knowledge of oneself, combined with an unconventional array of tools to effectively connect with their teams, leaders can create an organization that excels now and into the future.

Each chapter begins with three distinct “leadership truths” that the authors have found to be universally applicable to leaders and teams in each of their disciplines. The chapters then contain subsections of insights and tips from each author individually. Finally, chapters conclude with action items that challenge the reader to begin transformative measures to elevate and hone their leadership habits and abilities, personally and professionally. Chapter content also addresses insights for the reader to elevate the efficacy and performance of their teams and, ultimately, their organizations. The book concludes with the authors’ daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly “make it real” actions to execute for personal growth, greater leadership effectiveness, more connected relationships, and sustainable change.

A simple guidebook for navigating the new world of sports marketing and brand management

The modern consumer, today’s fan, is no longer passive. Over three quarters of millennials say they prefer experiences over traditional advertising. Old approaches won’t work. Yard barkers handing out free towels. A stadium plastered with billboards. Maybe a new Jumbotron. Today’s fan is looking for something more engaging, more interactive, and more immersive.

Industry pioneer, James Giglio, the founder of MVP Interactive, takes us through his fascinating decade-long journey, starting out with a vision for immersive experiences, well before anyone had ever heard of virtual reality. Over that time, he has had the opportunity to work with many leading sports teams, professional leagues, advertising agencies, and consumer brands, to completely redefine the fan experience and now he shares those lessons with us.

James also takes us through his own personal story of building a startup, from growing up as a daydreaming kid in Ocean County, New Jersey, to working with an advertising agency in New York and recognizing that three themes were emerging: the iPhone app explosion, the increased use of digital signage or so-called “street furniture,” and the emergence of “pop up events” by leading brands. He began to wonder how these three trends could be brought together. What if the immersive technology on our iPhone could be brought to the streetscape? What if those digital displays could become interactive? And what if brands could attract consumers to them rather them just hawking them promotions and free stuff? The result was MVP Interactive. But like any startup, there were bumps along the way and James’ story is a heartfelt, honest tale of making many... let’s just say, learning a lot of lessons along the way.

The timing could not be better. Post Covid, events are back and back big. During the pandemic, we all went fully remote and realized it was just way too much screentime. But we are also not going back to the way it was. Beyond the Jumbotron lies a new, hybrid world where human interaction and technology combine. James takes us through not only the why — the dramatic changes in consumer attitudes and behavior that are driving the adoption of immersive technology, but more importantly the how — how to bring these projects to life and lead to real, measurable result after case study and shows the possibilities of new technology are not only endless, but also just the beginning. lts for sports properties and brands. James and his team at MVP Interactive have completed over 200 immersive technology projects and the book is filled with case study after case study and shows the possibilities of new technology are not only endless, but also just the beginning.

Get Ahead – Even When You Lose!

What if you could learn to profit from nearly every loss or misstep in your life, and get a return on it—like an investment?

Failure will always be a part of our lives. We cannot avoid it. But we can leverage it to create a better future for ourselves and others. When we do that, it separates us from the people who let failure stop or defeat them. Follow Maxwell’s advice and you’ll never look at failure the same way again.

Canada is often praised as one of the world’s nicest countries. But what if that niceness is costing us the future?

In The Impolite Canadian, Kumaran Nadesan challenges one of the country’s most enduring myths: that politeness is a virtue in all things. Drawing on his experience in government, business, and civic engagement, Nadesan makes a sharp, convincing case that Canada’s quiet deference is holding it back—economically, diplomatically, and culturally.

This is a book about Canadian identity—but not the one you see on postcards. It’s about how immigrant success, bold leadership, and civic engagement can redefine what it means to be Canadian in the twenty-first century.

In 2011, Case Lawrence was facing financial ruin. His real estate business had collapsed in the wake of the Great Recession, and bankruptcy seemed inevitable. With a wife, six kids, and no clear path forward, he resigned himself to finding a traditional job—until a spontaneous trip to a California trampoline park changed everything.

What started as a simple curiosity turned into an obsession. Could he turn trampoline parks into a profitable business? Could he scale an industry that didn’t even exist yet? Armed with nothing but a lawyer’s skepticism, a failed entrepreneur’s hunger, and a family’s unwavering belief, Lawrence decided to take the leap.

The result? Sky Zone—a global entertainment empire with 300+ locations, millions of customers, and a billion-dollar valuation.

But success wasn’t instant. No investors. No blueprint. No proven market. Instead, there were lawsuits, a pandemic, and countless moments of doubt. In Off the Ground, Lawrence shares the raw, unfiltered truth about the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship—the setbacks, the pivots, and the victories that only come when you refuse to quit.

This book is more than a business memoir. It’s a blueprint for resilience, creativity, and surviving when the odds are stacked against you. Whether you’re a startup founder, a small business owner, or just someone looking for inspiration, Off the Ground will challenge you to think differently about courage, risk, and the unexpected opportunities that can change everything.

Key takeaways include:

• Trends and principles driving the rapidly growing “experience economy”
• Why failure is often the best setup for success
• The key strategies behind scaling an unproven business model
• How to innovate and lead in a new industry
• What it really takes to survive as an entrepreneur

For fans of Shoe Dog by Phil Knight and The Ride of a Lifetime by Bob Iger, Off the Ground delivers an honest and gripping look at what it really takes to retain your values, your nerve, and your perspective as you build something from nothing.

Because success isn’t about avoiding failure. It’s about learning how to bounce back.

Why You React the Way You Do—And What to Do About It

If you’ve ever overreacted, shut down, chased affection, or walked on eggshells—this book explains why.

In 7 Primal Wounds, psychotherapist Dr. Michaela Renee Johnson reveals the invisible emotional injuries that shape how we love, fight, and connect. These seven wounds—feeling insignificant, inadequate, damaged, like an outsider, unintelligent, powerless, or undeserving—drive unconscious patterns in both individuals and couples. But they don’t have to.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify the wound behind your triggers and communication struggles
• Recognize your “Primal Responders” (Inner Child, Teen, and Parent)
• Pause before the spiral, shutdown, or overreaction
• Use the PRIMAL Reset to move from reactive to responsive
• Build stronger, more authentic relationships—with yourself and others

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about understanding yourself—so you can respond, not just react, in every relationship that matters.

If you’ve ever asked, “Why am I like this?”—this book has your answer.

With a poignant and inspirational story, Blake Shumate traces the footsteps of his life to deliver a moving debut memoir. Follow his journey from a childhood spent in working-class rural Virginia caring for his mentally disabled sister and factory worker mother to an unexpected career as a co-founder and corporate executive of a supply chain logistics company to the visionary investor of people.

When Blake embarks on a hunt to uncover the cause behind a series of sudden medical emergencies that leave doctors puzzled, his life is forever changed. Once a work-obsessed and ambitious career man, Blake finds his priorities drastically transformed when faced with a life-altering diagnosis. But through adversity and unwavering determination, he uncovers the true meaning of love, family, resilience, and faith.

Prior to his fight against a mysterious disease, Blake had been consumed by the demands of his career, inadvertently sidelining his wife and daughter in the process. But as the symptoms of an elusive multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis begin to take control of his daily life, he must reevaluate the purpose of his time on earth. Realizing the importance of his family’s unflinching support and his faith in God, he asks for the strength to change his ways and strengthen the bonds with his loved ones.

The narrative takes a deeper turn as we learn of his difficult childhood, marked by living on the wrong side of the tracks and a competitive high school career as a champion wrestler that ultimately earned him the chance for a first-generation college education. Despite facing a multitude of hardships, Blake’s determination to escape the clutches of poverty shaped him into a successful business executive only to realize that his true mission was to be more like Christ and invest in others.

Through a series of flashbacks and present-day events, the story reveals how his childhood struggles inadvertently prepared him for the hurdles of MS. As a battle against his own body ensues, Blake embodies the spirit of perseverance and uses the same tenacity he displayed as a child to confront his medical condition head-on. That determination has led Blake on a mission to uncover answers to MS on behalf of himself and anyone else affected by this little-understood disease.

As the tale unfolds, Blake’s transformation goes beyond the professional sphere. He becomes an advocate for those suffering from neurological diseases, sharing his story to inspire others facing similar challenges. Through his bravery and vulnerability, he touches the hearts of many, spreading hope and encouragement to those who may feel overwhelmed by life’s trials.

In the end, this gripping story reveals that life’s most profound lessons often emerge from the darkest of times. It serves as a reminder to embrace the love of family, cherish every moment, and find strength in one’s past to conquer the present. Blake’s journey through his MS diagnosis to find healing in mind, body, and spirit is an endearing testament to God’s power.

Suzanne Hopgood was eleven when she got her first real job bussing tables at her parents’ hotel in New Hampshire. By seventeen, she was running the place. That’s when a chef threw a knife that barely missed her head because she’d forgotten to include turkey on the menu. It wouldn’t be the last time she had to duck and weave in her career.

In Get Your Own Coffee, Hopgood takes readers through her journey from that small-town beginning to chairing multiple corporate boards, including a NYSE company during what became known as Director Magazine’s article, “Board from Hell.” Along the way, she shows how she navigated a business world where the rules for women weren’t just different—they were kept secret until you broke them.

When her first boss told her, “You will always be underestimated. Use it to your advantage,” she couldn’t have known how valuable that advice would become. She’s had a boss grab her, throw her over his shoulder, and carry her into a business meeting. She’s been fired for refusing a boss’s late-night advances at her condo. She’s been fired for “insubordination.” She’s watched male colleagues take credit for her ideas while ignoring her voice at the table.

But she also became Chair/CEO after the proxy contest that The Wall Street Journal called “The Shot Heard Round the World,” fired executives who thought she didn’t have the authority, and slammed her files on the table before walking out of negotiations—only to have the deal she wanted waiting when she returned.

Between the corporate battles, Hopgood shares the joy she found with her husband Frank during their forty years together, biking through Southeast Asia, navigating the streets of Moscow and São Paulo, and finding laughter even in his final days.

She learned that getting ahead doesn’t mean playing by other people’s rules. Sometimes, you have to create your own—and sometimes, you just have to be bold enough to take a stand.

What do you inherit when your family flees everything they’ve ever known? For Dr. Emily Watson, the daughter of Cambodian refugees, the answer was clear: tenacity, faith, and the unspoken mandate to succeed.

In Roots of Resilience, Watson recounts how her parents escaped the Khmer Rouge and arrived in Indiana with nothing but hope and work ethic. From growing up in the back room of a donut shop to leading a modern orthodontic practice, she tells a deeply personal, sharply observed story of what it means to build a life from scratch—one rooted in family legacy, shaped by sacrifice, and defined by daily acts of quiet courage.

Each chapter delivers a leadership insight forged not in classrooms but in lived experience. Watson shares how cultural identity shaped her professional path, how she navigated practice ownership while pregnant and overwhelmed, and how lessons learned in her parents’ business—like cleaning the floors and showing up no matter what—gave her an edge no textbook ever could. From hard conversations with staff to the chaos of early practice years, she is refreshingly candid about what success actually requires.

Perfect for women in dentistry, first-generation professionals, and readers of memoirs that merge heart and hustle, Roots of Resilience offers: * Practical leadership lessons from a faith-driven, immigrant upbringing * A behind-the-scenes view of owning a dental practice as a woman of color * An honest look at balancing ambition, motherhood, and cultural expectations * A timely reminder that success starts with showing up every single day

Watson’s voice is grounded and warm, never sentimental. Her story is one of small, defiant miracles—refugees learning English in the dead of winter, children of trauma building businesses, a daughter finding purpose through pain.

This book is for anyone who’s ever felt pressure to make it count—for their parents, for their community, for themselves.

For fans of Beautiful Country, Somewhere in the Unknown World, and Minor Feelings. A moving, unflinching tribute to family, faith, and the fierce grace of starting over.

In a world that equates success with happiness, many high-achievers still feel unfulfilled. In Love, Learn, Play, Akhil Gupta offers a transformative mindset that reframes how we think about purpose, peace, and flourishing.

Drawing from his remarkable journey—from global finance to Harvard classrooms—Gupta explores how ancient wisdom and modern science point to three essential forces that lead to true well-being: love, learning, and play. These are not luxuries, he argues, but our deepest human needs.

This powerful, research-backed framework helps readers:

• Break free from false cultural narratives
• Reconnect with their authentic self
• Balance meaning and happiness without burnout
• Bring wholeness to work, parenting, and personal life
• Create a life that feels deeply alive—every day

Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, or reevaluating what really matters, Love, Learn, Play offers a practical and inspiring guide to a life that’s not just successful—but truly flourishing.

If you've ever asked, “Is this all there is?” this book is your answer.

Some of the best leaders don’t start out wanting the role—they step up because they see a problem and refuse to ignore it.

In Making Waves: Inspiring Transformational Leadership Through Positivity, Persistence, and Aloha, Davin Kazama redefines leadership for those who never saw themselves as leaders. With deep humility and personal insight, he shares lessons from his own journey, from navigating business challenges to the transformative experience of fatherhood.

This book explores the power of leadership in service to others—how individuals who lead with authenticity, service, and integrity create lasting impact. Drawing from his upbringing in Hawaiʻi and the values of aloha, Kazama illustrates how true leadership is not about dominance or showmanship, but about resilience, responsibility, and community.

Through engaging storytelling and practical wisdom, Making Waves offers a roadmap for anyone ready to lead in their own way. Whether you’re a young entrepreneur, a mid-career professional questioning your leadership potential, or a seasoned executive looking for a fresh perspective, this book will help you harness your strengths, bet on yourself, and step forward with confidence.

In Intangience, award-winning strategist Ernie Ross reveals the hidden language that drives human connection, decision-making, and perceived value. Drawing from decades of experience creating transformative campaigns for global brands and political movements, Ross introduces a revolutionary methodology that explains why emotional connections matter more than features or facts.

Through compelling stories—from converting gang leaders through basketball to rescuing a national brewery from foreign competition—Ross demonstrates how understanding intangible values creates resonant messaging and authentic engagement. The book introduces three powerful frameworks: Pillars of Purpose (introspective questions that reveal core values), Currency of Conversation (principles for creating shareable messages), and the Science of Human Connection (techniques for amplifying impact).

Whether you're building a brand, leading an organization, or seeking greater meaning in your personal life, Intangience provides practical insights for creating connections that transcend rational thinking and inspire lasting loyalty, conviction, and impact.

In Maid in America, Rosemary Everton shares an extraordinary tale of resilience, determination, and the true meaning of the American Dream. Born into a working-class family on Delaware's Eastern Shore, Rosemary's life took an unexpected turn when she became pregnant at fifteen, married young, and seemed destined for a challenging path. But destiny had other plans.

Against overwhelming odds, Rosemary refused to be defined by her circumstances. While juggling motherhood, night school, and work, she and her husband Mike built a cleaning business from the ground up—transforming a small residential service into a multimillion dollar commercial cleaning enterprise. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, hard work, and unwavering commitment.

The book chronicles not just a business success story, but a deeply personal narrative of overcoming tragedy. From losing children to navigating family challenges, financial struggles, and workplace obstacles, Rosemary demonstrates an incredible capacity for resilience. Her story takes an unexpected turn when President George H.W. Bush publicly celebrates her achievements during a high school graduation speech, bringing her remarkable journey into the national spotlight.

More than a memoir, Maid in America is a masterclass in entrepreneurship. Rosemary shares candid insights into building a successful business, including lessons on patience, consistency, trust, and never burning professional bridges. Her wisdom extends beyond business, offering profound reflections on marriage, family, and maintaining hope through life's most difficult moments.

With raw honesty and inspiring optimism, Rosemary Everton proves that with determination, faith, and hard work, anyone can transform their dreams into reality. Her story is a powerful reminder that the American Dream is alive and accessible to those willing to persevere, adapt, and believe in themselves.

With increased demand for hybrid and fully remote work styles, most firms understand that some form of distance work is here to stay—and have put some remote protocols in place. But are they the right ones? Do they reflect best practices when it comes to the hiring, training, and onboarding of new remote hires? Are policies and workflows in place that enable remote workers to be as productive as possible? Does management know how to keep remote teams engaged while keeping an eye out for burnout and other wellness issues?

Often, the answer is “we’re not quite there yet.” Many companies either see the shift to remote work as a threat to their culture and management style, or they just don’t know how to make the transition.

It’s time to take advantage of the many opportunities remote work presents. Stop saying “we’re not there yet,” and start saying “we’ve arrived!” This book will show you how.

American education is often attacked by critics citing test scores and pundits claiming systemic failure. Yet American Educational Excellence: The Foundation of Our Values, Democracy, and Market Capitalism by Kenan Sahin reveals a different story: one of resilience, innovation, and unmatched global impact.

Through personal experience—from Robert College in Istanbul to MIT—and decades as an entrepreneur and educator, Sahin illustrates why the US education system remains an unparalleled engine of innovation. Rather than focusing narrowly on standardized testing, he highlights how the American education system produces individuals capable of thriving in democracy, capitalism, and global markets. Drawing vivid examples from ventures like Kenan Systems and CAMX Power, Sahin showcases how US education fosters adaptability, creativity, and leadership skills essential in an AI-driven future.

Sahin argues that the real success of American education lies in having incorporated core American values and its symbiosis with democracy and market capitalism—nurturing initiative, competition, and community involvement. He shows how graduates of the US education system have led the world’s greatest companies—Amazon, Apple, Google—demonstrating the effectiveness of a values-driven education. The book explores how K-12 outcomes, higher education success, and cultural values converge to support the economy, emphasizing that metrics like innovation in education and resilience against disruption matter more than international test rankings.

By blending historical analysis, business insight, and personal narrative, Sahin redefines the discussion on education and democracy. He warns that failing to recognize the system’s deep-rooted strengths could endanger the very forces that power America's future.

For educators, policymakers, business leaders, and citizens concerned with American competitiveness, American Educational Excellence: The Foundation of Our Values, Democracy, and Market Capitalism provides an essential, optimistic, and fact-driven understanding. It’s a rallying cry for those who recognize that preserving the best of our education system is critical to national success in a world increasingly dominated by AI, quantum computing, and shifting global dynamics.

In this powerful and intimate memoir, a mother chronicles her son's battle with depression, offering unprecedented insight into the complex world of mental illness through their dual perspectives.

When Josh—a talented soccer goalkeeper with a bright future—begins withdrawing from the activities and people he once loved, his mother Maria notices subtle changes that evolve into concerning patterns. What follows is a deeply personal account of one family's journey through the labyrinth of mental health care, revealing both its possibilities and its limitations.

Through alternating voices, readers experience the raw emotions of both a mother desperately trying to protect her child and a young man struggling to articulate the overwhelming darkness within him. This unique narrative structure provides rare insight into both sides of depression—those suffering from it and those watching someone they love disappear into it.

With unflinching honesty, Maria recounts the warning signs she recognized and those she missed, the well-intentioned but sometimes ineffective interventions, and the heart-wrenching reality that even the most vigilant parental love cannot always prevent tragedy. Her candid retelling of emergency room visits, psychiatric evaluations, and late-night fears illuminates the often-hidden experience of families affected by mental illness.

Far more than a memoir of loss, this book serves as a crucial resource for understanding depression's early signs and the importance of meaningful intervention. Through her family's story, Maria challenges readers to break the silence surrounding mental health and offers compassionate guidance for those supporting loved ones through similar struggles.

For parents, educators, mental health professionals, and anyone touched by depression, Love Beyond provides both validation and valuable perspective. It stands as a testimony to a mother's enduring love, a young man's courageous battle, and the critical importance of bringing depression into the light through open, honest conversation.

Written with grace, empathy, and purpose, this book transforms personal tragedy into a powerful call to action that could save lives.

In Beyond the Science: How People, Process, and Systems Transform the Business of Life Sciences, Gary Zammit, PhD, delivers an insightful guide for professionals working in pharmaceutical and medical device development. Drawing from his twenty-five years of experience leading Clinilabs, a specialty contract research organization focused on central nervous system (CNS) therapeutics, Zammit provides behind-the-scenes insights into the often-overlooked human elements that drive scientific breakthroughs. The book’s actionable and practical advice is focused on two core parts, first examining the people and culture needed for research and development (R&D) to thrive, and then elaborating on the systems and processes required to empower those individuals to deliver the kind of R&D capable of changing patient lives—and starting medical revolutions.

In part one, Zammit provides actionable strategies for creating a corporate culture that inspires innovation while maintaining unwavering ethical standards, revealing tips for:

• building a team of A-players,
• defining and setting goals,
• optimizing team function,
• ensuring consistent communication, and
• creating an environment where people aspire to greatness.

Part two delves into the processes and systems that enable these teams to excel. Breaking down the granularities of clinical research processes, Zammit covers best practices for:

• creating clinical trial protocols,
• developing project plans,
• implementing risk mitigation,
• ensuring quality and compliance, and
• integrating technological advances.

Zammit’s practical guidance is set against the backdrop of his personal journey, as he shares how he founded a company with scientific expertise but limited business acumen—and nearly lost everything in the Great Recession. With candor and humor, he shares how this crisis forced him to recognize that successful drug development depends on more than scientific expertise—it also requires exceptional people working with effective processes and within well-structured systems.

Throughout the book, insightful contributions from industry leaders provide diverse perspectives on what it takes to succeed in the challenging world of life sciences research. Beyond the Science is essential reading for pharmaceutical executives, clinical research professionals, and entrepreneurs in life sciences who understand that “good enough” is never sufficient when patients are waiting for better treatments.

Smarter healthcare IT is the solution to three interrelated problems: widespread physician burnout, uneven care quality, and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

In The HIPUS® Revolution, emergency physician and healthcare IT innovator Dr. Mark Sorensen reveals how these challenges are symptoms of a deeper issue: outdated, inefficient information systems that overwhelm doctors, compromise care, and inflate costs.

Research shows that nearly half of all physicians in the U.S.—and many abroad—have experienced burnout serious enough to impact the quality of care. While many patients still receive excellent treatment, our healthcare system struggles to deliver that same standard of high-quality care to everyone. At the same time, rising healthcare costs are placing growing pressure on families and the broader economy.

Dr. Sorensen introduces a breakthrough solution: the HIPUS® system, which uses patented, color-assisted, Bayesian-like analysis to help physicians:

• Fully process diagnostic information
• Integrate use of all patient and care data during decision-making
• Communicate and document care more easily and effectively

By restoring cognitive clarity, diagnostic confidence, and autonomy to physicians, the HIPUS® system addresses burnout at its root—while improving outcomes and lowering costs.

Designed for emergency departments but adaptable across care settings, this transformative IT also supports diagnosis-related, doctor-nurse collaboration and enhances the integration of AI and machine learning tools.

This book provides a way for physician and non-physician readers to propel implementation of the IT described. The better readers understand the need for such IT, the better they can advocate for its use.

Whether you're a clinician, hospital leader, or simply someone who cares about the future of healthcare, The HIPUS® Revolution offers a compelling and understandable roadmap to smarter, safer, and more sustainable care—starting now.

In A New View of Retirement, financial advisor James F. Locke introduces a revolutionary yet simple approach to retirement planning that challenges conventional wisdom. While most financial advice focuses on growing assets as large as possible, Locke reveals why this strategy—which works well during your accumulation years—can backfire dramatically in retirement.

At the heart of Locke's philosophy is a deceptively simple equation: TR = I + G (Total Return = Income + Growth). During your working years, total return is what matters most. But as you approach retirement, the source of that return becomes critical. By prioritizing reliable income (I) over unpredictable growth (G), you can create a renewable resource that provides steady cash flow regardless of market conditions.

Through clear explanations and compelling case studies, Locke demonstrates how investors who continue to focus primarily on growth in retirement may be forced to sell assets during market downturns—a strategy he calls "cannibalizing your principal." In contrast, those who restructure their portfolios to generate sufficient interest and dividends can weather market volatility while maintaining their principal intact.

The book offers practical guidance on:

• Implementing the income-first approach using various investment tools
• Selecting the right annuities (and avoiding the wrong ones)
• Optimizing Social Security benefits based on your unique situation
• Using Roth conversions strategically to manage your tax burden
• Navigating required minimum distributions without depleting your savings
• Creating an effective estate plan that protects your legacy
• Finding a fiduciary advisor who specializes in retirement income

Whether you're ten years from retirement or already enjoying your golden years, Locke's approach provides a framework for transforming retirement anxiety into confidence. By shifting your focus from accumulating the largest possible nest egg to generating reliable income, you can ensure your money lasts longer than you do—allowing you to truly live the retirement of your dreams.

A New View of Retirement isn't just about making your money last; it's about making your retirement the best years of your life.
