When Sébastien Sasseville, an athlete with type 1 diabetes, decided to take part in the Race Across America, solo, he knew he was embarking on the most difficult ultra-cycling race in the world. What he didn’t realize was that this experience, and the work that needed to be done ahead of it, would inform his thinking around a team-building model that had application beyond sports and deep into workplaces and boardrooms.

Together, Sasseville and co-author Gabriel Renaud have taken the model they used to build the Race Across America team and written Building Unstoppable Teams, a toolkit for building passionate teams that can accomplish the exceptional. Leadership, commitment, definition of objectives, group dynamics, adaptability, performance, motivation, and recognition are all components of successful team building and key pieces of the toolkit, but it all begins with getting the right people in place: the bees and eagles.

Most people wait until they’re sick to start thinking about their health. But what if you could avoid the hospital, chronic illness, and burnout altogether?

As an ICU doctor, Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng has seen firsthand what happens when people ignore the warning signs. The truth? Many of the life-threatening cases he’s seen are preventable. This is why he wrote Prevention Over Prescription — a simple, science-backed roadmap to staying out of the ICU and optimizing your health for the long run.

This book isn’t about fad diets, quick fixes, or miracle pills. It’s about proven, practical strategies that work in the real world, including:

• How to prevent chronic disease and metabolic dysfunction before they start.
• Why most people fail at long-term health — and how to break the cycle.
• The four key pillars of longevity: nutrition, movement, sleep, and community.
• How to optimize your health using data from wearables.
• The leadership mindset shift you need to take control of your health, career, and life.

Whether you’re a high-performing executive, busy parent, or someone who just wants to feel better every day, this book will give you a clear blueprint for taking ownership of your health — without the overwhelm.

What’s the purpose of corporate purpose? It is simpler than you might think.

The days of mission-driven purpose are over. Saving the planet, fostering rights, showing the human side of your company – these are merely table stakes for any business that wants to thrive in a caring world. But when it comes to your organization’s purpose, the truth is, it is all about driving growth.

In The Purpose of Purpose, bestselling author and renowned creative advertising director Ron Tite shows how his powerful Think, Do, Say approach can be applied to growth – for individuals, for teams, and for your entire organization. In his warmly contrarian style, Tite challenges conventional thinking about corporate purpose. Using compelling case studies, from General Motors to Lego, Tite helps leaders implement a true and effective purpose. He shows you how to reimagine the strategic heart of your business in a way that will create amazing experiences for your clients, partners, and teams.

Funny, conversational, and relatable, Try Hard is for anyone looking to make sense of their own creative pursuit, offering a framework for how to do it and where to begin.

Let’s say you see a familiar musician from a globe-trotting, touring band hanging out at your local coffee shop, reading the newspaper and typing away on his laptop. This doesn’t look like a musician at work. He seems approachable enough, so you ask him what exactly he does all day. With a grin on his face, he admits the job might not be what you think. So you take a seat, and ask him every question you’ve ever had about how it all works: the nuts and bolts of writing a song, preparing for a show, marketing a band, and the day-to-day business of a creative life.

With each answer—none of it about talent—you realize this musician is a bit of a…try hard. That the mystery of being a creative person isn’t actually mysterious at all: it’s just exploring ideas with an enthusiastic and determined curiosity. Over and over.

Max is that musician in the coffee shop, and this is what reading Try Hard feels like: one-of-a-kind tales from a dynamic frontman, and a companion to your own creative work in progress. With a brick-by-brick attitude, Max explores his own growth in the craft of storytelling and performance, the pleasure to be found in collaboration, and the creative spirit required in sharing your art.

A fiercely-argued, deeply-informed examination of why defunding the police is the only way to support a model of security and protection that increases public safety overall

Time and again history has watched as police respond to minor calls with escalation, wrongful arrests, and even murder. Reform programs are often poorly implemented and their impacts short-lived. Calls to “defund the police” have rung out across the nation, yet the actual meaning of the phrase remains unclear to many. In Defund, longtime activist and founder of Black Lives Matter Canada Sandy Hudson elucidates what it actually means to “defund the police” and why it matters, by exploring today’s criminal landscape, and the patterns and structures that result in safer, well-resourced communities.

Hudson explores the origins of commonly held ideas about police and safety to show how police-related social policies are based more on a sensationalized idea of safety, than on outcomes and data. Through interviews and sociological research, she demonstrates, for instance, that law enforcement solve only a small number of the crimes that they are tasked to investigate, and even the process of assigning cases depends more on optics than large-scale crime reduction. Conversely, safe neighborhoods, rather than featuring an increased police presence, are rich in resources and social programs.

After laying out the history and data behind our broken policing system, Hudson paves a clear path forward by exploring how communities can save both money and lives by investing in themselves rather than in policing. She shows how simple changes to educational resources, community centers, and civic engagement can not only make communities safer, but also better able to provide for their citizens in countless ways. Clear-eyed and hopeful yet pragmatic, Defund is the key to understanding why a future without police is not only entirely possible, but necessary.

Off the beaten path, following unmarked trails, we are wired to explore. More than just a need to get outside, the search for the unknown is a primal urge that has shaped the history of our species and continues to mold our behavior in ways we are only beginning to understand. In fact, the latest neuroscience suggests that exploration in any form — whether it’s trying a new restaurant, changing careers, or deciding to run a marathon — is an essential ingredient of human life. Exploration, it turns out, isn’t merely a hobby—it’s our story.

In this much-anticipated follow-up to his New York Times bestseller Endure, Alex Hutchinson refutes the myth that, in our fully mapped digital world, the age of exploration is dead. Instead, the itch to discover new things persists in all of us, expressed not just on the slopes of Everest but in the ways we work, play, and live. From paddling the lost rivers of the northern Canadian wilderness to the ocean-spanning voyages of the Polynesians to the search for next-generation quantum computers, The Explorer’s Gene combines riveting stories of exploration with cutting-edge insights from behavioral psychology and neuroscience, making a powerful case that our lives are better — more productive, more meaningful, and more fun — when we break our habits and chart a new path.

In this inspirational, practical self-help book, Dr. Samra Zafar weaves together research and personal stories to share how she has broken free of beliefs that held her back, and how readers can too.

After escaping an abusive marriage in her 20s with her two daughters in tow, Zafar thought the biggest challenges she would face would be supporting her family, putting herself through school, working in the corporate world, and rebuilding a support system. But she discovered the hardest challenge of all was within her own heart. Her childhood conditioning to criticize her every move paralyzed her from pursuing what she truly wanted, landed her in relationships that held her back, and constrained the way she wanted to mother. Finally, when she couldn’t take it anymore, she sought help.

In Unconditional, Samra shares everything she has learned, as a woman, physician, and mother, about unlearning the harmful beliefs we store deep within ourselves. Through the hard work of digging out past trauma, unpacking faulty ideas that no longer serve you, creating healthier neural pathways, and embracing who you truly want to be, you can learn to love yourself — unconditionally.

Work has recently undergone profound changes, not all for the better.

AI’s acceleration has led to worker fears and uncertainties around job security. DEI initiatives are underfunded or canceled. The debate over remote, hybrid, and in-person work is growing more heated. And study after study confirms a widespread sense of employee unhappiness in the workplace.

Workers are left to reexamine their relationship with work, asking themselves, why are we here?

Workplace expert Jennifer Moss, author of The Burnout Epidemic, takes readers to the front lines of this historic shift. Through extensive interviews, she uncovers why work has changed and highlights the leaders and organizations who have managed to build cultures that everyone really wants.

Packed with fresh insights, new research, and compelling stories, Why Are We Here? illuminates this turbulent time and offers inspiration and practical guidance for leaders navigating our complex, ever-changing world.

Changing how we work can feel overwhelming. Like trying to budge an enormous boulder. We’re stifled by the gravity of the way we’ve always done things. And we spend so much time fighting fires—and fighting colleagues—that we lack the energy to shift direction.

But with the right strategy, we can move the boulder. In Reset, Heath explores a framework for getting unstuck and making the changes that matter. The secret is to find “leverage points”: places where a little bit of effort can yield a disproportionate return. Then, we can thoughtfully rearrange our resources to push on those points.

Heath weaves together fascinating examples, ranging from a freakishly effective fast-food drive-thru to a simple trick from couples therapy to an inspirational campaign that saved a million cats.

In Reset, you’ll learn:

• Why the feeling of progress can be your secret weapon in accelerating change
• How leaders can uncover and stop wasteful activities
• Why your team’s motivation is often squandered—and how to avoid that mistake
• How you can jumpstart your change efforts by beginning with a “burst”
• The book investigates mysteries: Why the middle is the roughest part of a change effort. Why inefficiency can sometimes accelerate progress.
• Why getting “buy-in” is the wrong way to think about change.

What if we could unlock forward movement—achieving progress on what matters most—without the need for more resources? The same people, the same assets…but dramatically better results. Yesterday, we were stuck. Today, we reset.

To heal a world in crisis, we must rethink “legacy”— and commit to something bigger than ourselves.

From the time he was born, Martin Luther King III has carried the weight of his father’s legacy—and his dream of a Beloved Community built on justice, love and equal rights for all. Today, in a world burdened by histories of violence, oppression, racism, poverty, fear and disconnectedness, that dream seems more remote than ever.

In answer to these challenges, Martin has teamed up with his wife and fellow activist, Arndrea Waters King, and legacy architects Marc Kielburger and Craig Kielburger to find a new way forward. Drawing on breakthroughs in neuroscience, psychology, epigenetics and their own lived experiences, they have created a groundbreaking new framework called Living Legacy. It’s based on the simple but profound recognition that our small, day-to-day actions create legacies that have the power to transform, uplift and unite us all. It’s time to reevaluate, recognize, and reclaim those legacies. Living Legacy invites us to live our best lives and lives larger than ourselves—and in doing so, discover the most sought-after yet elusive state of being: fulfillment.

In conjunction with the Realize the Dream campaign, What Is My Legacy? kicks off an essential conversation on how to best refocus our individual stories to achieve collective change. Featuring never-been-told stories from the King family and contributions from celebrities and thought leaders—including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Jay Shetty, Julia Roberts, Yara Shahidi, Rev. Al Sharpton and Sanjay Gupta—it’s an extraordinary road map for finding genuine connection, bringing us closer to Dr. King’s dream of a Beloved Community.
