Packed with exercises, tools, and humor, Fortune's Path gives you value right away that can last a lifetime. "This book is about how to use the principles of recovery to find your fortune. I hope there’s a place for love in your fortune. Most of us are afraid to love in business settings. There’s no reason to be afraid. If you’re just starting your career or even if you’re on your way but feeling stuck, give these principles a try. If you’re like me, you’ll find more success and be happier for trying." Tom Noser"I love the mix of philosophy and practical advice in this book. The Choose Your Own Adventure take on guiding you through typical work situations keeps each chapter engaging and interactive and the summary tables are great to come back to as a reference or refresher! Also Margaret the Pug is adorable and so are the illustrations."" love this book. The format and style is so refreshing and unique, unlike most books I've encountered and definitely much more engaging and entertaining than the typical product management or self help books out there. Tom describes real-life scenarios that are common in business and product management, however the lessons and insights are human focused and applicable to anyone regardless of career. The book is fun to read with a balanced mix of anecdotes, exercises, and quick reference summaries that give readers a variety of ways to interact with the material so it is easy to understand and apply in daily life."

    Should Wales leave the UK? It's a conversation that has – unfairly – been all but disregarded by many, including some of the Welsh themselves, with all the focus on their Celtic cousins in Scotland. But independence movements are gaining momentum across Europe, and Wales will be a key voice in these debates. Support for Welsh autonomy is at an all-time high, with the latest polls suggesting as many as one in three are in favour. This is not just unprecedented; it is all but revolutionary.
    Scotland's 2014 referendum taught us that once the independence genie is out of the bottle, it does not go back in. Meanwhile, the Brexit campaign demonstrated that these arguments come with inflated claims, misinformation and scaremongering that can easily poison a complex debate.
    In Independent Nation, Will Hayward brings nuance back to the arena for this crucial national conversation. Brimming with interviews from experts and painting a detailed, colourful picture of the realities of life in Wales – from extreme poverty and disconnected infrastructure to expensive urban regeneration and cafés of Gavin and Stacey fame – this is an open-eyed look at the truths and falsehoods around the country's future. Impartial, informed and thoroughly entertaining, Independent Nation raises the standard of debate around an issue that will affect us all.
