Aligned Planning

Summary

Aligned Planning offers a transformative approach to time management, shifting the focus from mere scheduling to creating a life aligned with your core values and aspirations. It addresses the common problem of feeling dictated by your calendar, rather than having it reflect your true desires. The book argues that traditional time management often fails because it doesn't address the root cause: a disconnect between our actions and our core beliefs. One intriguing fact is that understanding and prioritizing your values can lead to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven existence. The book is structured in three parts, guiding you through self-discovery to uncover your values, setting achievable goals, and integrating work commitments into your life. It provides a step-by-step guide to implementing Aligned Planning, complemented by case studies. This approach is unique because it combines personal values clarification with strategic goal setting and practical scheduling techniques, emphasizing effectiveness over mere efficiency, helping you to do the right things rather than simply doing things right.

Seen Yet Unseen - A Black Woman...

Bärí A. Williams

Part memoir, part searing revelation, Seen Yet Unseen takes readers behind the scenes of some of the world’s biggest tech companies and exposes the way their exclusion of and, at times, hostility toward Black women have lasting impacts on the technology we use every day. 
Over the years the products of big tech companies and Silicon Valley have become indispensable to our lives. They impact the way we socialize, make purchases, and even our medical decisions. But what happens when a major segment of the population—in this case Black women—isn’t included in these companies? 
For over a decade, Bärí A. Williams has worked to carve a space for herself as a Black woman in the incredibly white male sphere of major tech companies, eventually becoming a lead counsel at Facebook and architect of their supplier diversity program. However, she also experienced the peculiar feeling familiar to Black women in the workforce: being both unseen and too seen. In raw and personal stories, Williams recounts balancing on glass cliffs while battling the burnout that so often forces Black women out of these companies, and how the industry’s lack—and loss—of Black women not only harms the businesses themselves but has troubling ramifications for their products, particularly as the promises of AI and the Metaverse loom large. 
In a tone both forthright and revealing, Williams dissects how a culture that has largely excluded Black women—and people of color more generally—is at a tipping point and that only through embracing and listening to Black women can we prevent the further weaponization of these technologies against marginalized communities. From fledgling in-house diversity initiatives to gentrification and the rise of AI, Seen Yet Unseen takes the reader inside the obscured machinations of big tech companies and makes a case for why diversity is essential to the future of technology.

Moneyless Society - The Next...

Matthew Holten

IT'S TIME FOR AN ECONOMIC EVOLUTION. 
The evidence is all around us: Humans are squandering natural resources and destroying the environment. There is no real debate about climate change. And with an ever-widening wealth gap, inequality is destabilizing many regions and worsening famine, disease, and civil unrest. 
We must change, fast - and yet we hesitate. 
Moneyless Society: The Next Economic Evolution explores how capitalism throttles Earth's capacity to sustain life and undermines our deep longing to live in peace and prosperity. Fortunately, it also provides a blueprint to innovative thinking and new structures to replace our outmoded monetary system. In short, Moneyless Society illuminates just how much our lives and those of future generations could improve with a new kind of freedom: freedom from money. 
We are at a crossroads: we can choose abundance, community, and prosperity, or we can continue down the path toward collapse. The choice is ours.
