  Brilliant Sounding Rubbish - A...

  A sharp, thoughtful and ultimately hopeful look at the past, present and future of the music industry from one of the people who helped shape it. 
  Kev Nixon, musician, songwriter, producer, artist manager, music educator and writer charts the unprecedented fall of British music’s global dominance with unflinching honesty, deep affection and biting wit.  Drawing on five decades in the business, Nixon reveals how the UK’s once world-leading musical culture has suffered from an obsession with technology, addiction to nostalgia and has become increasingly disconnected from artistic substance. 
  What began as a phrase coined while observing music students making overly-polished recordings using GarageBand, Nixon evolved “brilliant sounding rubbish” into a damning metaphor for an entire industry. Part memoir, part manifesto, and part behind-the-scenes exposé, the book journeys from Nixon’s childhood musical awakenings in 1960s Yorkshire to the chaos of modern streaming culture, tracing the roots of the crisis in everything from the collapse of artist development, to the rise of corporate ownership, and the devaluation of true music education. 
  Nixon details class prejudice in genre and music industry hierarchies, the myth of the self-made artist and the digital structures that control what the world hears and what it doesn’t.  Through personal stories, case studies and bold provocations, Brilliant Sounding Rubbish offers a clear-eyed vision for rebuilding an industry with heart, integrity and risk at its core while returning to the musical standards that put British music into world domination.  Nixon believes there’s still time to turn things around. If we bring back risk, nurture real talent and cease allowing technology to dominate creativity, the music business might just get its soul back. The future, he says, could have brilliant sounding substance – this time for all the right reasons.

  Whether we're trying to find time, save it, manage it, or make the most of it, one word defines our relationship with the clock: anxiety. Yet is productivity really the only grid for the good life? Have you ever imagined a life without hurry, relentless work, multitasking, or scarcity? A life that is characterized instead by presence, attention, rest, rootedness, fruitfulness, and generosity? 
   
   
   
  This is the kind of life we are meant for, says Jen Pollock Michel. But if we want to experience freedom from time anxiety, we have to reimagine our relationship with time itself. 
   
   
   
  With In Good Time, she invites you to disentangle your priorities from our modern assumptions and instead ground them in God's time. Then she shows you how to establish eight life-giving habits that will release you from the false religion of productivity so you can develop a grounded, healthy, life-giving relationship with the clock.

  “Quiet quitting, hybrid workplace, toxic boss . . . How do you lead today? A good place to start is by reading this book.” —Keith Ferrazzi, #1 New York Times–bestselling author Today, most employees stay or leave an organization because of their direct manager. Are team members provided what they need to be their best self and do their best work, or is it withheld by someone above them? Are their managers fulfilling the role of a people-first leader? Does company leadership make the working environment a psychologically safe space that maximizes both human and business performance? Some do, most don’t—only because most aren’t trained to. But how do leaders build high-performing, psychologically safe teams? Alex Draper, the Founder of DX Learning, has created the CARE Equation: a four-part playbook that will help leaders establish an environment employees not only feel comfortable speaking up in, but one where they want to stay at and feel like they can win in. In following the research of positive leadership and psychology, Draper’s CARE Equation is based on the idea that when leaders provide clarity (C), give autonomy (A), build relationships (R), and establish equity (E), their teams are more likely to be psychologically safe and perform at their highest potential.CARE to Win is the much-needed modern and relevant guide for managers, their employees, and organizations. It outlines the importance of each CARE component and breaks down internal biases that keep leaders from CAREing to the fullest. Through personal stories, research, and exercises, Alex shows that when leaders CARE, everyone wins—because CARE is the human skill that gets the hard stuff done. Become the leader that sets your team up to win. Every. Single. Day.
