  Compelling and straight-shooting wisdom for coping with whatever challenges life throws at us from the New York Times bestselling author of Unfu*k Yourself. 
  In Unfu*k Yourself, Gary John Bishop taught millions of readers how to silence the negative, self-sabotaging voice in their head to thrive. In Wise AF, he expands on his ideas, redefining what it means to be wise and showing how to tackle problems and improve our lives and those of others.  
   
  When the shit storms of life hit us, many of us don’t know what to do—whether it’s losing a job, suffering a broken heart, or just feeling a lack of purpose. We need wisdom to help us navigate forward. While the internet is full of seemingly good advice, it isn’t helping us actually change our lives. Wise As Fu*k breaks through the bullshit, providing insight to inspire us in the four areas we need it most: love, loss, fear, and success.  
  Written with his widely admired no-nonsense style, Wise As Fu*k provides a welcome fresh perspective to help us transform how we approach a variety of life’s problems. But Bishop makes clear, the work doesn’t stop there. Now that you’ve unfu*ked yourself and and are wise as fu*k about these touchy areas, you can apply the lessons to make a positive impact on the world.

  What does it take to do more with less? How can you do better  than before, or better than others? How do you turn losses into  wins, or near-bankruptcy into strong profitability, or abject  failure into stellar success?  The power of uplift enables any organization to do more with  less, beat the competition, and perform better than ever. Leaders  who uplift their employees passions, intellects, and  commitments produce remarkable results.  Based on original research from a seven-year global study,  Uplifting Leadership reveals how leaders from diverse  organizations inspired and uplifted their teams performance.  Distilling the six common characteristics of leaders at  high-performing organizations across business, sports, and  education, authors Andy Hargreaves, Alan Boyle, and Alma Harris  explore the nature of uplift, its impact on performance, and the  ways to achieve it within and beyond an organizations walls,  revealing how leaders:    Identify and articulate an inspiring dream that is coherently  connected to the best of what the organization has been before  Pursue that dream at a sustainable pace without squandering  resources, incurring excessive debt, or burning people out  Forge paths of innovation and improvement that others have  overlooked or rejected  Monitor progress by using metrics and indicators in a mindful  and meaningful way  Build teams that naturally pull people into change rather than  pushing them through it      Featuring case studies of organizations as diverse as  Shoebuy.com, Fiat, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Marks & Spencer,  Cricket Australia, Burnley Football Club, and the Vancouver Giants,  as well as world-leading educational systems, Uplifting  Leadership provides tools for leaders to incorporate these  performance-driving strategies into their own.  For leaders who want their people to try harder, transform what  they do, reach for a higher purpose, and stay resolute and  resilient when opposing forces threaten to defeat them,  Uplifting Leadership provides a path to better performance  across any organization.

  The Inclusive Language Field...

  Avoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by a no-nonsense linguistic anthropologist and business consultant. 
   
  In today's fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield. Terms around gender, disability, race, sexuality and more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you cancelled. People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended. 
    
  But it's not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication-written or spoken-with anyone: 
    
   Reflect reality 
   Show respect 
   Draw people in 
   Incorporate other perspectives 
   Prevent erasure 
   Recognize pain points 
    
  This guide clarifies the challenges-and the solutions-to using "they/them," and demonstrates why "you guys" isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband-because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like "America was discovered in 1492," because that's just when Europeans found it. 
   
  Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.
