  Aztec Astronomy and Astrology:...

  Nearly 500 years after the Spanish conquered their mighty empire, the Aztecs are often remembered today for their major capital, Tenochtitlan, as well as being fierce conquerors of the Valley of Mexico who often engaged in human sacrifice rituals. Unlike the Maya, the Aztecs are not widely viewed or remembered with nuance, in part because their own leader burned extant Aztec writings and rewrote a mythologized history explaining his empire’s dominance less than a century before the Spanish arrived. Naturally, Cortes and other Spaniards depicted the Aztecs as savages greatly in need of conversion to Catholicism. While the Maya are remembered for their astronomy, numeral system, and calendar, the Aztecs have primarily been remembered in a far narrower way, despite continuing to be a source of pride to Mexicans through the centuries. 
  	For the Aztec, astronomy was not a purely scientific pursuit but intimately linked to religious, mythological, and ideological elements that were of the highest importance. The celestial realm held a sacred nature, as did the many gods and goddesses that dwelt there, so for all Mesoamerican cultures, astronomy was a fundamental part of their daily lives. Thus, astronomy was present in their calendars, religion, and even agriculture, and in close relation to astronomy, the concept of time was also an essential part of their worldview. The Aztec recorded many of the astronomical events they observed in codices and hieroglyphic inscriptions, but the main evidence of their deep astronomical knowledge comes from their calendar system. This information was then used to plan the orientation of buildings and ceremonial centers, which were aligned to sunrises or sunsets corresponding to special dates, such as solstices or equinoxes. Observational calendars were also used to schedule agricultural activities, as well as rituals, festivals, and celebrations, on an annual cycle.

  We are living in a new age: the Age of AI. With developments emerging every day, Artificial Intelligence will soon surpass most human competencies and drastically transform technology's role in our day-to-day world. The solution for organizational leaders is not to become more like computers. In order for our organizations to survive as we stand at the threshold of a new era, we must tap into the qualities that make us uniquely human. 
   
   
   
  In the face of increasingly intelligent technology, old models of leadership are becoming obsolete. In The Threshold, accomplished leadership consultant Nick Chatrath interweaves an analysis of antiquated leadership modes—the ones that leave AI-Era organizations exposed and ineffective with colleagues frustrated, unmotivated, and burnt-out—with his newly developed strategies for more effective "threshold" leadership methods. The Threshold demonstrates that adaptive, effective organizations can be built with human, emotional intelligence: cultivating stillness, nurturing independent thinking, finding rhythms of rest and performance, and raising leadership consciousness. With a basis in the ideas and practices that have shaped our organizations in the past, The Threshold illuminates how accessing advanced stages of human development can be both competitive and harmonious with AI's growing insinuation into our working world.

  Companies like Dropbox, Zoom, Slack, Atlassian, and DocuSign grew into multibillion-dollar companies using the three-step "Freemium" product strategy: (1) instead of hiring an expensive sales force, give away software for free; (2) let happy users tell others; (3) offer a premium subscription version, producing a recurring revenue stream. Over the last three decades, Freemium strategy has evolved into a practice known to tech industry insiders as "product-led growth." 
   
  Freemium is the authoritative guide to product-led growth, written by Silicon Valley entrepreneur and Harvard MBA Dave Boyce, who teaches the first MBA-level course on the topic. Freemium explains how to develop a product that can sell itself, how to ward off competitors, and how to seamlessly move upmarket, selling to larger customers. It details how the product itself (instead of expensive employees) can be used for customer onboarding, customer service, and customer retention. Freemium also details how non-software companies and enterprise sales-led companies are combining product-led growth tactics with more traditional go-to-market initiatives. 
   
  Competing in nearly every tech-related industry today requires an understanding of the principles of product-led growth. Freemium is the comprehensive, practical handbook for this unicorn-building strategy.
