  Every time you communicate, you're trying to move someone to feel, think, and act. You're trying to make a point. But very few communicators—regardless of their purpose or position—know their points, have true points, or even understand what a point is, rendering themselves pointless. 
   
   
   
  In this expanded second edition of the bestselling Get to the Point!, Joel Schwartzberg draws on his decades of experience as a strategic communications executive and public speaking coach to deliver a masterclass in high-impact communications for the digital age. 
   
   
   
  Using his trademark encouraging and often humorous voice, Schwartzberg helps you create impactful speeches and slide presentations, emails and work chats, and Zoom and in-person meeting communications. The book will also help you conquer public speaking jitters; leverage AI tools to support—not replace—effective communication; avoid common communication pitfalls; and much more. Whether you're a C-suite executive, salesperson, scientist, or student, Get to the Point! is a blueprint for evolving your written and spoken communications from informing to inspiring and pointless to powerful.

  POWER: How We Take It, Hold It, Lose It and Learn From It The Human Condition Quartet — Book Four 
  Back to Me gave you the voice. TRIBAL gave you the tribe. Beyond Belief gave you the faith. Now comes the force that governs all three. 
  Power is the fourth and final book in Quentin Drummond Anderson's acclaimed Human Condition Quartet — a landmark work of popular philosophy exploring the deepest patterns of what it means to be human. Having examined how we communicate, how we belong, and how we believe, Anderson turns at last to the hidden force that runs beneath all three. 
  Not the crude power of titles and org charts. Not the theatre of politics or the machinery of office. The real thing — the capacity to shape outcomes, the grammar of human relations that no one teaches and everyone uses, the current that runs through every marriage, every meeting, every revolution, and every act of kindness. 
  Anderson dismantles the comfortable fictions we hold about power: that it belongs to certain kinds of people, that we either have it or we don't, that wanting it is somehow suspect. He examines how power is taken, how it is given, how it corrupts, how it declines, and how it can be exercised with wisdom and purpose. 
  Drawing on Weber, Frankl, and French and Raven alongside military leadership, the economics of patronage, and the disruptions of the digital age, Power is both rigorous intellectual inquiry and profoundly practical guide. 
  "Power, examined honestly, is morally neutral in its nature and morally consequential in its exercise. It can serve or corrupt, build or destroy, liberate or imprison — depending entirely on the quality, the clarity, and the character of the person holding it."

  Dinner on Monster Island - Essays

  Tania De Rozario

  In this unusual, engaging, and intimate collection of personal essays, Lambda Literary Award finalist Tania De Rozario recalls growing up as a queer, brown, fat girl in Singapore, blending memoir with elements of history, pop culture, horror films, and current events to explore the nature of monsters and what it means to be different. 
  Tania De Rozario was just twelve years old when she was gay-exorcised. Convinced that her boyish style and demeanor were a sign of something wicked, her mother and a pair of her church friends tried to “banish the evil” from Tania. That day, the young girl realized that monsters weren’t just found in horror tales. They could lurk anywhere—including your own family and community—and look just like you. 
   Dinner on Monster Island is Tania’s memoir of her life and childhood in Singapore—where she discovered how difference is often perceived as deviant, damaged, disobedient, and sometimes, demonic. As she pulls back the veil on life on the small island, she reveals the sometimes kind, sometimes monstrous side of all of us. Intertwined with her experiences is an analysis of the role of women in horror. Tania looks at films and popular culture such as Carrie, The Witch, and The Ring to illuminate the ways in which women are often portrayed as monsters, and how in real life, monsters are not what we think. 
   Moving and lyrical, written with earnest candor, and leavened with moments of humor and optimism, Dinner on Monster Island is a deeply personal examination of one woman’s experience grappling with her identity and a fantastic analysis of monsters, monstrous women and the worlds in which they live.
