Chronoleadership - How to create healthier and more productive rhythms in your work and life

Camilla Kring

Sinopse

Humans are born with a circadian rhythm – a sleep-wake rhythm. Variations in human genes cause us to sleep and wake at different times of the day. Your circadian rhythm is therefore not something you choose. You are genetically predisposed to be either a morning person or an evening person. If we need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning, we are not only disrupting our sleep – we are living out of sync with our internal biological clocks. Living out of sync with our biological clocks makes us more vulnerable to infections, cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. And at work, it makes us less productive and effective. This book shows you how you can use the knowledge of chronobiology to create healthier, more sustainable and more productive rhythms in the workplace. Knowledge-based societies require an inclusion of different circadian rhythms, and there is much to be gained for individuals, for companies, and for society if we let go of prejudices and create social acceptance and respect for our diversity in circadian rhythms. Chronoleadership is a new framework for creating attractive (and productive) workplaces for both morning persons and evening persons.

More Human - How the Power of AI...

Jacqueline Carter, Rasmus...

AI has the potential to transform leadership and the human experience of work—or to lead us into an automated and uninspiring work reality. Which one will it be? 
 
 
 
Humans have always been good at inventing tools that change the way we live and work—though not always good at adapting to those changes. Consider how the internet has given us instant access to gigabytes of data and yet has made us more distracted. Or how social media has enabled us to be more connected than ever, and yet it can also alienate or isolate us. Will the power of AI create a new era of robotic, impersonal efficiency, or will it catalyze a renaissance, redefining leadership and the world of work? 
 
 
 
So far, that question has mostly prompted a wave of anxiety about the disappearance of jobs and the loss of humanness in our work lives. But as Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter show in this essential book, that's a very limited perspective on the impact of AI, leaving out a crucial point: AI has the power to transform leadership for the better—the key is in how leaders use it. 
 
 
 
With deep insight and rigorous research, More Human will help leaders navigate our AI-enabled future.

Dinosaur Derivatives and Other...

Jeremy Josse

Dinosaur Derivatives and Other Trades is an entertaining and compelling tour de force highlighting the paradoxes inherent to the modern financial system. Presented as a series of striking case studies, this book explores certain enigmatic or philosophical puzzles in the finance industry; some of these puzzles may seem slightly absurd at first glance, but all are very relevant to the way finance is conducted in the real world. Each story highlights specific hypocrisies or moral dilemmas that lie at the heart of the system, guiding listeners through the challenges of finance by way of innovative and memorable paradigms. Written in clear, accessible language, this book doesn't claim to offer original financial theory or philosophy as such, but instead deepens the listener's understanding of the system and stimulates independent consideration of the current state of affairs. 
 
 
 
The financial world, so often viewed as a rather dull place, is secretly alive with possibilities of strange and sometimes wonderful conundrums. There is the possibility, for instance, of a Manhattan auction house selling derivatives to buy swift-swimming predators known as Megalodons (thought to be extinct for millions of years). This book explores this and other curious propositions to point out the paradoxes of finance.
