The Permission Mission -...

Dr. Cindy McGovern

You were taught to be “good.” Polite. Agreeable. Grateful. You did exactly what you were told—and it cost you your voice, your choices, and your life.
If you’ve been biting your tongue, over-apologizing, saying yes when you meant no, or following “rules” you never agreed to… The Permission Mission will help you trust your own voice and take your life back.
This isn’t your life. It’s the result of compliance.
You’ve walked away from conversations thinking, I wish I had said something? You’ve talked yourself out of the raise, the boundary, the opportunity, the dream—because a louder voice (yours or someone else’s) told you not to make waves?
The Permission Mission is your wake-up call and your roadmap if you’re tired of living a life that works for everyone but you. Dr. Cindy McGovern helps you identify the “backup singers” in your head—the old voices, expectations, unspoken rules, and borrowed beliefs that drown out what you actually want. Then, she hands the microphone back to the only voice that matters: yours.
On your journey, you’ll learn how to:
• Spot the invisible rules you’ve been living by—and break the ones holding you back.
• Ditch the stories, doubts, and habits that keep you stuck.
• Turn fear and self-doubt into forward motion.
• Own your worth without shrinking or self-editing.
• Say no without guilt and yes to what matters.
• Advocate for what you want at home, at work, and in the conversations that shape your future.
• Give yourself permission instead of waiting for it.
Whether you’re starting out, starting over, or sick of playing small, The Permission Mission gives you the strategy and spark to finally go after what’s yours.
These pages won’t tell you who to be. They remind you who you already are. The only permission you need is your own.

Jam Tomorrow? - Why time really...

Charles Crowson

We all know time is precious. Despite this, economics generally regards time as a unit of measurement rather than as something inherently valuable. What makes this strange is that economics as a discipline has always been something of an academic cuckoo in the nest, borrowing ideas from elsewhere. While it is over a hundred years since Einstein’s theories of relativity revolutionised our concept of time, economics still labours under the old Newtonian conception of it as a sort of fixed, intergalactic tape measure – until now.In Jam Tomorrow?, Charles Crowson presents a new theory of value at the heart of which lies our ever-changing perception of time. Humans are unique in their degree of self-awareness; particularly the awareness of their existence in time. As the basic economic choice is one of consuming in the present or saving for the future, all such choices are ultimately decisions about time. This means that we alone are the animal that chooses to save, since we alone understand that our actions in the present can affect the future.Jam Tomorrow? recasts economics as a question of the balance between our needs and desires in the present and those of the future. This makes our changing perception of time a kind of invisible ink that links the micro to the macro, the past to the future, and that offers a new and challenging way of understanding the relationship between value, price, money and credit.

Innovation Capital - How to...

Jeff Dyer, Curtis Lefrandt,...

Great leaders of innovation know that creativity is not enough. They succeed not only on the basis of their ideas, but because they have the vision, reputation, and networks to win the backing needed to commercialize them. It turns out that this quality—called "innovation capital"—is measurably more important for innovation than just being creative. 
 
 
 
The authors have spent decades studying how people get great ideas (the subject of The Innovator's DNA) and how people test and develop those ideas (explored in The Innovator's Method). Now they share what they've learned from a multipronged research program designed to determine how people compete for, and obtain, resources to launch new ideas: how you can build a personal reputation for innovation; what techniques you can use to amplify your innovation capital; how you can garner attention for your ideas and projects and persuade audiences to support them; and what it means to provide visionary leadership and how you can achieve it. 
 
 
 
Featuring interviews with the superstars of innovation—individuals like Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Elon Musk (Tesla), Marc Benioff (Salesforce), Indra Nooyi (PepsiCo), and Shantanu Narayen (Adobe)—this book will help you position yourself and your ideas to compete for attention and resources so that you can launch innovations with impact.
