    In this groundbreaking guide, a management expert outlines the transformative leadership skill of tomorrow—one that can make it possible to build truly diverse and inclusive teams which value employees’ need to belong while being themselves.   
    Humans have two basic desires: to stand out and to fit in. Companies respond by creating groups that tend to the extreme—where everyone fits in and no one stands out, or where everyone stands out and no one fits in. How do we find that happy medium where workers can demonstrate their individuality while also feeling they belong? 
    The answer, according to Stefanie Johnson, is to Inclusify. In this essential handbook, she explains what it means to Inclusify and how it can be used to strengthen any business. Inclusifying—unlike “diversifying” or “including”— implies a continuous, sustained effort towards helping diverse teams feel engaged, empowered, accepted, and valued. It’s no use having diversity if everyone feels like an outsider, she contends. 
    In her research, Johnson found common problems leaders exhibit which frustrate their attempts to create diverse and cohesive teams. Leaders that underestimated the importance of group coherence and dynamics often have employees who do not feel like they belong; leaders that ignore the benefits of listening to different perspectives leave some people feeling like they cannot be their authentic selves. 
    By contrast, leaders who Inclusify can forge strong relationships with their teams, inspire greater productivity from all of their workers, and create a more positive environment for everyone. Having a true range of different voices is good for the bottom line—it allows for the development of the best, most innovative, and creative solutions that are essential to success.  
    Inclusify reveals the unexpected ways that well-intentioned leaders undermine their teams, explains how to recognize the myths and misperceptions that drive these behaviors, and provides practical strategies to become an Inclusifyer. By learning why uniqueness and belonging are so imperative, leaders can better understand what makes their employees tick and find ways to encourage them to be themselves while ensuring they feel like they are fully part of the group. The result is a fully engaged team filled with diverse perspectives—the key to creating innovative and imaginative ideas that drive value.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. The Turba Philosophorum, also known as Assembly of the Philosophers, is one of the oldest European alchemy texts, translated from the Arabic, like the Picatrix. It is considered to have been written c. 900 A.D. To quote Plessner, "the Turba Philosophorum, written c. 900 A.D., is a well planned and, from a literary point of view, a most remarkable attempt to put Greek alchemy into the Arabic language and to adapt it to Islamic science". Nine philosophers take part in a discussion, being, once the text has been transcribed back to the original Arabic, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Archelaus, Leucippus, Ecphantus, Pythagoras and Xenophanes. The statements of the philosophers, whilst usually different from the known beliefs of the pre-Socratics, are usually recognisable as outgrowths of Greek philosophy. They discuss matter, how it acts, and relate this to cosmology, with three theses presented by Xenophanes in his closing speech, being, again from Plessner: "1) The creator of the World is Allah, the God of Islam; 2) The world is of a uniform nature; 3) All creatures of the upper as well as of the lower world are composed of all four elements.

    "What is justice—and is it better to be just than unjust?"
    
    This is the question that launches one of the most influential intellectual journeys in history. In The Republic, Plato constructs a "city in speech" (Kallipolis) to examine the nature of the perfect society and the perfect individual. Through a series of rigorous and challenging dialogues, he explores the radical idea of the Philosopher King, the necessity of communal living for the ruling class, and the profound Allegory of the Cave, which suggests that our perception of the world is but a shadow of a higher reality. Whether you are interested in political science, ethics, or metaphysics, The Republic remains the essential manual for understanding the structure of civilization.
    
    
    The Three-Part Soul: Plato argues that both the state and the individual soul are divided into three parts: Reason, Spirit, and Appetite. True justice, he claims, is achieved only when these parts exist in perfect harmony, with Reason (the Philosopher) at the helm.
    
    A Vision of the Ideal State: From the censorship of poetry to the "Noble Lie" used to maintain social order, Plato's vision of the Republic is both inspiring and controversial. He provides a blueprint for an educational system designed to identify and cultivate the most virtuous leaders, ensuring the city is governed by wisdom rather than greed.
    
    Why It Is a Global Foundation: Alfred North Whitehead famously noted that all of Western philosophy is but "a series of footnotes to Plato." The Republic is the origin point for nearly every debate regarding democracy, tyranny, and the role of the individual in society. To read it is to engage with the very DNA of Western civilization.
