Prescription Over Prevention
Available May 14

Drawing from 15 years of critical care experience, including his time as Department Head at The Ottawa Hospital ICU during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng challenges our reactive healthcare model with a revolutionary proactive approach to wellness. His new book, Prescription Over Prevention, distills complex health advice into simple, actionable strategies focused on the 80/20 principle — small changes that yield dramatic results.
Rather than chasing “magic pill” solutions, Dr. K demonstrates how strategic lifestyle modifications can help you achieve better sleep, sustained energy, and vibrant health while avoiding the ICU altogether. The book outlines four key pillars of longevity — nutrition, movement, sleep, and community — offering a practical roadmap for anyone seeking to transform their well-being.
This isn’t about fad diets or extreme regimens — it’s about evidence-based prevention that costs less and delivers more than our current healthcare model.
Building Unstoppable Teams
Available May 27

When Sébastien Sasseville, an endurance 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.
Sébastien with his 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.
Andrew Coyne, Ron Tite, and Sébastien Sasseville deliver engaging and informative keynote presentations that dive deep into the concepts and frameworks explored in their new books.
