  ""An antidote to nearsightedness. Ari Wallach won’t just leave you planning months or years ahead—he challenges you to look generations ahead. Get ready to think and think again."" — Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife 
  A paradigm-shifting manifesto for transforming our thinking from reactionary short-termism to the long-term, widening our scope beyond today, tomorrow, and to even five hundred years from now to reclaim meaning in our lives. 
  Many of the problems we face today, from climate change to work anxiety, are the result of short-term thinking. We are constantly bombarded by notifications and “Breaking News” that are overwhelming our central nervous systems, forcing us to react in the moment and ultimately disconnecting us from what truly matters. But there is a solution. 
  Futurist Ari Wallach offers a radical new way forward called “longpath,” a mantra and mindset to help us focus on the long view. Drawing on history, theology, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and social technologies, Longpath teaches readers to strengthen their ability to look ahead, relieve reactions to stressful events, increase capacity for cooperation, and even boost creativity. Wallach challenges readers to ask themselves, “to what end?”—what is my ultimate goal and how does my choice align with my values? And even more provocatively, Wallach challenges readers to ask “to what end?” for civilization at large. 
  Whether it’s work, marriage, parenting, or simply trying to be a good human on the planet, framing decisions from a much larger scale creates a more fulfilling and sustainable life now and for future generations.

  How Innovation Really Works -...

  Are you spending too much on R&D? Too little? Is your innovation program successful? And how do you measure that success?
  
   
  Your company is spending millions on R&D every year, but despite your best efforts, that R&D isn’t driving growth. If you’re like 95% of firms, you aren’t investing the right amount, and the productivity of your R&D has fallen dramatically over the past several years. That’s because there hasn’t been a universal, uniform, and reliable measure of R&D-until now.
  
   
  First introduced in Anne Marie Knott’s influential Harvard Business Review article, RQTM (Research Quotient) is a revolutionary new tool that measures a company’s R&D capability-its ability to convert investment in R&D into products and services people want to buy or to reduce the cost of producing these. RQ not only tells companies how “smart” they are, it provides a guide for how much they should invest in R&D to ensure that investment will increase revenues, profits, and market value.
  
   
  Armed with insights from her experience as an R&D project manager, 20 years of academic research, and two National Science Foundation grants, Knott devised RQ and used the measure to test common innovation prescriptions across the full spectrum of U.S. companies engaged in R&D. The results are nothing short of game-changing.
  
   
  In this essential guide, you will learn:
  
   
  * how to use RQ to determine which R&D investments are most likely to drive growth-using the hard data you already have to better utilize the innovation tools you’re already using 
  
  * the 7 misconceptions about innovation trends-and how to avoid the ones that don’t work 
  
  * how investors can achieve 9x returns in the market and help companies in the process 
  
  * why corporate-and GDP-growth has stalled and how to restore it without R&D tax credits
  
   
  This book promises to do for innovation and R&D what TQM did for manufacturing and what Sabremetrics did for baseball. It’ll show you How Innovation Really Works-with measurable results you can count on.

  Summary of Daniel H Pink's Drive

  Summary of Daniel H. Pink's Drive is a book about human motivations. Many of the prevailing ideas about why humans make decisions and operate the way they do aren’t true or, at least, they are incomplete. Businesses, schools, and organizations are stuck in outdated, unexamined beliefs about human motivation. These beliefs are rooted in the idea of extrinsic motivation—that people make decisions based on external rewards and punishments. But research in psychology shows that there is a significant discrepancy between what behavioral scientists know and what businesses do. Extrinsic motivation is not only ineffective, but in many situations it can actually be counterproductive and harmful.…

  Leadership teacher Kelly Wendorf offers a new approach to leading and living inspired by two profound sources of ancient wisdom: original peoples and Equus (the horse), grounded in evidence-based principles of neuroscience.In her groundbreaking EQUUS training program, Wendorf teaches a way of leadership modeled on a 56 million-year-old system of the horse herd—a path that has allowed humans and horses alike to survive the kinds of global and societal threats we now face, such as climate change and mass extinction. Here she takes you step by step through this powerful approach, including: listening—the starting point for all leadership; care—explore the ancient, indigenous understanding of care that is reciprocal, empathic, and beneficial to all; presence—meeting the here and now with vulnerability, openness, and a stable foundation; safety—how a masterful leader creates a sense of group resilience and strength by "leading from behind" for the welfare of all; connection—ways to move away from coercion and force to promote genuine communication and belonging; peace—creating group harmony right now; freedom—returning to our wild nature that is inherently free, unbridled, and unbroken; and joy—moving beyond temporary happiness to a state of wholehearted engagement of life, whatever the circumstances.
