  Stop fighting your nature and start engineering the systems that govern it. Most attempts at change fail because they address surface-level outputs rather than underlying mechanical logic. In "The Art and Science of Habit Change," Eleanor Vance provides a precise, clear guide to understanding the invisible machinery of your daily patterns. 
   
  Willpower is a finite resource. If you have struggled with cycles of stagnation, it is not because of a lack of discipline, but a lack of system precision. This book deconstructs the habit loop, provides strategies for mastering your environmental cues, and offers a blueprint for sustaining long-term consistency. 
   
  In this guide, you will discover: 
  - The Foundations of Habit: Why your brain automates behavior to survive. 
  - Deconstructing the Habit Loop: Understanding the mechanics of triggers and rewards. 
  - Mastering Your Cues: How to engineer your environment to support your goals. 
  - Sustaining Consistency: Moving beyond willpower to build a flourishing life. 
   
  Your life is the sum of your repetitions. It is time to become the architect of your own reality.

  The world over, boards, CEOs, CHROs and top managements are united in their belief that managing talent is one of the most important aspects of running any business. And yet there seems to be no clarity on what constitutes 'talent' and how one should identify and nurture it. Traditional tools such as bell curves, nine-block grids, potential assessments, etc., often create more frustration than clarity among employees. At the same time, organizations struggle to identify the 'right' talent and retain them in an environment marked by high volatility and low engagement. 
  Reimagining Talent challenges and demystifies many of the long-held assumptions about talent in the corporate world. At the very heart of this book is a groundbreaking talent architecture arrived at through solid research and interviews with employees and senior leaders from corporates across diverse regions, including India, the United States of America, Japan, the Middle East, Romania, the United Kingdom and Germany. 
  It introduces a practical road map-the Three Cs of Talent Enablers: Culture of Oneness, Competitive Adaptability and Complexity-to help organizations move beyond outdated practices and embed genuine talent management into their core business strategy. 
  Grounded in real-life examples and credible research, Reimagining Talent demonstrates how organizations and employees can unlock their full potential, and help both individuals and businesses grow collectively.

  Taxing the Rich - A Short...

  In today's social climate of acknowledged and growing inequality, why are there not greater efforts to tax the rich? In this wide-ranging and provocative book, Kenneth Scheve and David Stasavage ask when and why countries tax their wealthiest citizens--and their answers may surprise you. Taxing the Rich draws on unparalleled evidence from twenty countries over the last two centuries to provide the broadest and most in-depth history of progressive taxation available. Scheve and Stasavage explore the intellectual and political debates surrounding the taxation of the wealthy while also providing the most detailed examination to date of when taxes have been levied against the rich and when they haven't. Fairness in debates about taxing the rich has depended on different views of what it means to treat people as equals and whether taxing the rich advances or undermines this norm. Scheve and Stasavage argue that governments don't tax the rich just because inequality is high or rising--they do it when people believe that such taxes compensate for the state unfairly privileging the wealthy. Progressive taxation saw its heyday in the twentieth century, when compensatory arguments for taxing the rich focused on unequal sacrifice in mass warfare. Today, as technology gives rise to wars of more limited mobilization, such arguments are no longer persuasive. Taxing the Rich shows how the future of tax reform will depend on whether political and economic conditions allow for new compensatory arguments to be made.

  Every day you walk the tightrope between idealism and pragmatism. 
  Getting things done can mean compromising your principles. If you let it, the paralysis this tension creates will stop us from acting on the risks and opportunities that direct our future. And this problem is multiplied when working together in organizations where our values are diverse or even in conflict. 
  We call these two mindsets The Missionary and The Mercenary. They both live hidden inside of you. If circumstances mislead you into leaning too far to one side or the other, you risk making mistakes that can send you tumbling out of control. 
  We’ve discovered that mastering the Missionary + Mercenary balancing act is what leadership really is. Unfortunately, earning the kind of experience that leaders are made of is learned by choosing poorly and making mistakes. And today the stakes are so high we can’t afford too many of the wrong choices or we won’t have a future at all. 
  Making the mistakes that can limit your future comes from asking the wrong questions, not lacking the right answers. 
  We’ve spent decades distilling the most critical questions leaders must practice asking if they want to get everyone confidently pulling in the right direction to control their future. This is our guidebook to help you make the choices that will control your future too.
