    What has changed in the workplace? Everything.The traditional office was probably doomed anyway. Then a global shutdown changed everything we thought we knew about work, including where and when it needed to take place. Automation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have accelerated, and perhaps as much as one third of the world’s permanent workforce will soon become remote. In The Nowhere Office, Julia Hobsbawm offers a strategic and practical guide to navigating this pivotal moment in the history of work and provides lessons for how both employees and employers can adapt.Hobsbawm draws on her extensive networks in business, academia, and entrepreneurship across  generations to offer new ideas about how to handle hybrid working, as well as provides deep insight into how the way we work is being transformed by larger issues such as community, hierarchy, bias, identity, and security. The Nowhere Office describes a unique moment in the history of work which, if understood and handled correctly, can provide a springboard for the biggest transformational change in the workplace for a century: something better, more meaningful, and more workable for everyone.

    Heal trauma. Reclaim your body. Live with wholeness. These are the gifts of utilizing the power of fundamental consciousness—a subtle field of awareness that lies within each of us. In Trauma and the Unbound Body, Dr. Judith Blackstone explores how we can resolve the mental, physical, and emotional struggles of trauma through the power of fundamental consciousness. Dr. Blackstone weaves her thirty-plus years of psychotherapy practice to present a simple yet revolutionary approach to healing trauma. She writes, "All of the constrictions in our fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs) are moments of our past that we have stopped in their tracks and held in that way, unconsciously. They are frozen moments of our past." Trauma and the Unbound Body explains how and why the body constricts in response to trauma, causing physical and emotional pain. Dr. Blackstone guides us through step-by-step processes to unwind those constrictions by attuning to fundamental consciousness, setting the body free of trauma once and for all by uncovering an unbreakable, unified ground of being.

    Pessimistic persuasion is the art of dissuasion. It is the means by which you talk anyone out of anything. With this book, you will learn how to talk anyone out of anything with minimal effort on your part. You can convince people that you are right and they are wrong without going through big fights. You can also convince people to change their minds, especially when they seem dead-set in their decisions. 
    Pessimistic persuasion is built off of the foundation principles of basic persuasion. In the first chapter of this book, you learn how to use basic persuasion to get your way. You learn about the fundamental principles of Influence, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and various other persuasion tactics invented by experts in the field of influence psychology. The methods included in the first chapter are tried and true ways to get what you want. 
    Then, this book gets more into how to use persuasion principles to talk people out of things. You can use influence to convince people that you are right so that they change their minds. You can use concepts like being warm and framing words to get people to accept and adopt your point of view. Once someone accepts that you are right and he is wrong, he will be more likely to take your recommendation over his own. 
    Finally, you learn how to take dissuasion to the next level and use it in psychological warfare. You can use the principles outlined throughout this book to tear your enemy down mentally. This is one of the most powerful psychological warfare weapons discovered yet.
