All It Takes Is a Goal - The...

Jon Acuff

When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff got curious about tapping into his full potential, he launched a research study with Dr. Mike Peasley. They asked more than three thousand people if they felt they were living up to their full potential. 
 
Fifty percent of people reported that 50 percent of their full potential is untapped.  
 
That means half of us are walking around with half-lives. No wonder Twitter is so grumpy. 
 
Imagine if every Christmas you only opened up half your gifts. You could see the rest—a whole pile of them in the corner of the room—but you never got to open them. 
 
Would that make for a happy Christmas, a happy house, a happy job, a happy anything? 
 
It wouldn’t, but what if it didn’t have to be that way? 
 
What if you could have a fulfilling career? 
What if you could enjoy a thriving marriage and strong friendships? 
What if you could be in the greatest shape of your life? 
What if each day felt like a gift and each year progressively got better? 
What if you could use a single piece of paper to learn from your past, enjoy your present, and prepare your future?  
What if you could escape the Comfort Zone, avoid the Chaos Zone, and live inthe Potential Zone? 
 
That would be the best. 
 
And what if all it takes is a goal?

Leading with Love and Laughter -...

Patrick Malone, Zina Sutch

Leadership has for too long been treated as a function and not as a relationship. Zina Sutch and Patrick Malone argue that successful leadership must be based on love (altruism and empathy) and laughter (positive emotions and joy). 
 
 
Recent bestselling books have completely altered the way we understand how humans work and play together. The Altruistic Brain and Born to Be Good show that humans are deeply wired for empathy and compassion. The Social Animal and Emotional Intelligence prove that our emotional selves help us make better decisions and motivate others. However, the tactics we use to train leaders bear little reflection of these advancements; we're still creating competent but emotionally distant leaders who "manage human assets" and lead by setting goals, deadlines, and deliverables. 
 
Zina Sutch and Patrick Malone hope to flip a light switch and illuminate, above all else, that leadership begins with heart and soul. In five succinct chapters, they show that we lead best when we tap into our genetically driven human nature to love and nurture, connect and trust. This book seeks to reintroduce the warmth of human interaction and emotion into the leadership tool kit.

Elixir - A Parisian Perfume...

Theresa Levitt

For centuries, scientists believed that living matter possessed a special quality—a spirit or essence—that differentiated it from nonliving matter. But by the nineteenth century, the scientific consensus was that the building blocks of one were identical to the building blocks of the other. Elixir tells the story of two young chemists who were not convinced, and how their work rewrote the boundary between life and nonlife. 
 
 
 
In the 1830s, Édouard Laugier and Auguste Laurent were working in Laugier Père et Fils, the oldest perfume house in Paris. By day they prepared the perfumery's revitalizing elixirs and rejuvenating eaux, drawing on alchemical traditions that equated a plant's vitality with its aroma. In their spare time they hunted the vital force that promised to reveal the secret to life itself. Their ideas, roundly condemned by established chemists, led to the discovery of structural differences between naturally occurring molecules and their synthetic counterparts, even when the molecules were chemically identical. 
 
 
 
Scientists still can't explain this anomaly, but it may point to critical insights concerning the origins of life on Earth. Rich in sparks and smells, brimming with eccentric characters, experimental daring, and the romance of the Bohemian salon, Elixir is a fascinating cultural and scientific history.
