The greatest predictor of your future is the beliefs you hold about the world. In his new book, world-renowned researcher and author Shawn Achor illuminates how beliefs change the math about what is possible and probable in our lives. 

The Power of Beliefs shows how seven core beliefs predict your present, bend the probability of future success, and, in the modern world, are the key to creating a better life for you and for others. Shawn draws on two decades of research, as well as his work with NASA, the NFL, and over a third of the Fortune 100 companies, to explore the predictive power of beliefs and how beliefs about ourselves, money, the world, politics, faith, and work do more than shape the lens through which we see the world. They shape what happens next.

This book reveals the seven most predictive “core beliefs” that alter our future health, success, wealth, and education. Scientifically, these core beliefs take the cap off our potential, enrich us, strengthen us, and heal us.

Spencer West’s new book is an inspirational guide that shows you how to be the person you were meant to be all along.

You might think that the hardest mountain Spencer had to climb was Mount Kilimanjaro, but as he tells it, the real challenge was learning to overcome the everyday mountains we all face: anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure to live up to the expectations of others.

Born without the use of his legs, Spencer discovered that the path he was told to follow only led to frustration and unfulfillment. With unrelenting candor and unexpected humour, he shares his own experience of listening to his heart and creating a life defined by authenticity, not approval, to help readers dig deep and uncover who you were always meant to be, pursue your passions fearlessly, embrace the life you want to live on your own terms.

The road to self-discovery is certainly filled with vulnerability, but once you stop seeking permission to be yourself, you’ll find your most powerful and authentic self awaits you on the other side.

Liane Davey’s new book explores how thoughtload — not workload — is the culprit causing chaos for your team. Learn how to be the leader that creates clarity, calm, and greater capacity.

In Thoughtload, Liane, a New York Times bestselling author and team effectiveness advisor, tackles today’s most pressing management challenges: over-burdened systems, burned-out teams, and declining results. However, contrary to conventional wisdom, Liane argues that the problem is not with out-sized workloads, it’s excessive thoughtload — the cumulative and often overwhelming burden of increasing cognitive and emotional demands, worsened by decreasing physical and mental energy.

In this brilliant, highly prescriptive guide, Liane lays out the steps for reducing thoughtload, so that you and your team feel more focused — and get more done. Backed by science and written with the time- and energy-strapped manager in mind, Thoughtload is Liane’s potent handbook for a better way to lead.

Despite sleep’s critical role in maintaining health and cognitive function, humans sleep less than any other primate. In The Sleepless Ape, David R. Samson reveals the reasons for this evolutionary paradox, showing how our unique sleep patterns evolved when our ancestors left the safety of the forest canopy for more dangerous ground.

David draws on his extensive fieldwork to explain how these sleep patterns contributed to our cognitive and social evolution. He delves into how the human brain adapted to achieve deeper, more restorative sleep, enabling advanced memory consolidation, fostering creativity, and contributing to our success as a species. David also addresses modern sleep challenges, demonstrating how an understanding of our evolutionary sleep heritage can help us address sleep disorders and improve overall health and well-being.

Blending the latest science with engaging storytelling by a leading expert, The Sleepless Ape shares compelling insights into how a fundamental yet overlooked aspect of human biology has shaped our evolutionary trajectory and continues to profoundly influence our daily lives.
