  DEI Exposed puts the spotlight on a Big Con: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 
  DEI gurus siphoned funds for education into social engineering programs. They suckered and swindled some of the smartest people in the U.S., cost universities dearly in terms of funds and reputation, and ruined the livelihoods of countless faculty members. 
  DEI has fueled antisemitism on college campuses and, ironically, robbed many students of fair treatment and freedom of speech-two things DEI advocates supposedly champion. 
  How did the hustlers pull it off? 
  This book documents the dubious credentials of DEI superstars, the use of cult conversion tactics on students, the cultivation of campus informants to instill fear and suspicion, and the lawsuits that reveal DEI's virulent racialism at a high cost to universities in bad publicity and legal damages. 
  DEI Exposed maps this corruption so that we can chart a course for a restoration of higher education for years to come. 
  Ridgley reveals the striking contradictions between DEI's stated aims and its practical effects. 
  - Ram Mudambi, Frank M. Speakman Professor of Strategy, Fox School of Business, Temple University 
  The DEI monster has continually sprouted new tentacles, and Ridgley has given us an account of how it came to be its lurid self. 
  - Bruce Gilley, author of The Case for Colonialism 
  With razor-sharp analysis, Ridgley dissects how higher education compromised itself, abandoning merit and intellectual vigor in favor of pseudoscience and ideological conformity. 
  - Nicholas Giordano, Professor of Political Science and host of The P.A.S. Report Podcast 
  Dr. Stanley K. Ridgley is Clinical Full Professor of Strategic Management at Drexel University. He holds a Doctorate and Master's in International Relations and Security from Duke University and an International MBA from Temple University. He is a Russian language linguist and former Military Intelligence Officer.

  This audio edition is read by the author, Andrew Gold, and includes an exclusive author Q&A. "Andrew Gold is the new Jon Ronson. Smart, funny, brave and deeply thoughtful, The Psychology of Secrets is an absolute must read" - Will Storr, bestselling author of The Status Game and The Science of Storytelling--Cult leaders, murderers, psychopaths – and you. Take a deep dive into the bizarre psychology of secrecy with Andrew Gold, award-winning investigative journalist and host of On the Edge With Andrew Gold. We all keep secrets. 97 per cent of us are hiding a secret right now, and on average we each hold thirteen at any one time. There’s a one-in-two chance that those secrets involve a breach of trust, a lie or a financial impropriety. They are the stuff of gossip, of novels and of classic dramas; secrets form a major part of our hidden inner lives.Andrew Gold knows this better than anyone. As a public figure, he has found himself the unwitting recipient of hundreds of strangers' most private revelations. This set him on a journey to understand this critical part of our societies and lives. Why do we keep secrets? Why are we fascinated by those of others? What happens to our mind when we confess?Drawing from psychology, history, social science, philosophy and personal interviews, The Psychology of Secrets is a rollicking journey through the history of secrecy.--"That Andrew Gold is a truly edgy journalist, broadcaster and now writer is - but should not be - one of our culture’s best kept secrets" - David Baddiel, bestselling author of The God Desire

  Business Book Awards 2023 Finalist 
  When you’re trying to reach your target audience effectively, nothing beats a well-written business book. But it’s also tough to get right. Poorly written business books litter the virtual bookshelves. 
  Your book needs to be so interesting the reader devours it, and then wants the next one.As moreish as the next Netflix series.Bitesize, useful, life changing content.Atomic, valuable, business-growing books.Built around your expertise and their most important problem. 
  After more than twenty years of helping clients turn their thoughts into things, coupled with my engineering background and love of constraints (not that kind!), I have come to the conclusion that the only way to turn your thoughts into things, and get your ideas out into the world is to:Make the ideas atomic – the smallest workable unit (a Minimum Valuable Asset®)Have a proven system that works to produce the “thing” (this book for books)Set a constraint – time, money, resources – and be accountable to the constraintIterate and improve yourself, as well as the process. 
  Many people don’t get their ideas turned into things (books written) because they skip an element in the process, reinvent the process or don’t even have a process to start with. When you have the process you can turn your thoughts into many different things. This book gives you the process so you can write your book that will be read and referred!To write a book that people read & refer:Make sure there's a business case before investing your time & moneyFocus on what the reader needs to hear not what you want to sayWrite value not volumeUse a framework for the process, not for the ideaChoose yourself, not the publisherProduce a book that markets itself
