    Experience one of the most extraordinary tales of survival and resilience ever told. Island of the Lost takes listeners to the remote and desolate Auckland Islands in the Southern Ocean, where two shipwrecks occurred just months apart in 1864. Stranded on opposite sides of the same island, the crews of the Grafton and the Invercauld faced identical challenges: relentless storms, freezing temperatures, and a hostile environment offering little sustenance. Yet their fates could not have been more different.
     
    Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, the author reveals how leadership, teamwork, and ingenuity shaped the outcomes of these parallel struggles. While Captain Thomas Musgrave and his Grafton crew united, adapting to their environment and crafting ingenious solutions, the Invercauld crew descended into disarray and despair, lacking the cohesion needed to survive. These contrasting stories offer profound insights into human endurance and the critical role of mindset and collaboration in overcoming adversity.
     
    Perfect for fans of true survival stories, historical narratives, and leadership lessons, Island of the Lost is not just an account of survival—it’s a powerful exploration of the human spirit’s capacity to innovate, persevere, and triumph in the face of unimaginable challenges.
     
    Let this riveting audiobook inspire you to tackle your own obstacles with courage, creativity, and determination.

    Having trouble chasing down invoices? Let the cash flow . . . 
     
     
     
    Any business that allows their customers credit terms will invariably run into late or non-payments. This affects cash flow and business viability. However, as the authors show, customers that are solvent will pay some suppliers every month, even if they don't pay everyone. So how do you ensure you are "first in line" to get paid? 
     
     
     
    This book examines the strategies that work—and those that don't. The authors introduce a simple but highly effective model, the Virtuous Revenue Cycle, that shows readers how to cultivate business relationships that keep the cash flowing. The strategies are highly practical, down to advice on just how to phrase those tricky emails reminding customers to pay up!

    From the authors of Leadership and Self-Deception (over 2 million copies sold) comes a new edition of this bestseller that has been thoroughly revised to more effectively address the diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges that plague our communities and hinder our organizations. 
     
    What if conflicts at home, at work, and in the world stem from the same root cause? What if we systematically misunderstand that cause? And what if, as a result, we unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we think we are trying to solve? 
     
    This book uses a fictional story to reveal a powerful truth: the underlying mindset that perpetuates conflict. This fourth edition includes revisions throughout, as well as new materials and resources, that increase its relevance and usefulness at a time of deeply entrenched divisions throughout society. It is a unique and vital resource for combatting racism and prejudice in their many manifestations. 
     
    The Anatomy of Peace is the story of an Arab and a Jew, each of whom lost their fathers at the hands of each other's cousins. We learn how they come together, how they help their warring parents and children come together, and how we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and social conflicts that weigh us down.

    The Problem with Solutions - Why...

    A concise and feisty takedown of the all-style, no-substance tech ventures that fail to solve our food crises. 
     
     
     
    Why has Silicon Valley become the model for addressing today's myriad social and ecological crises? With this book, Julie Guthman digs into the impoverished solutions for food and agriculture currently emerging from Silicon Valley, urging us to stop trying to fix our broken food system through finite capitalistic solutions and technological moonshots that do next to nothing to actualize a more just and sustainable system. 
     
     
     
    The Problem with Solutions combines an analysis of the rise of tech company solution culture with findings from actual research on the sector's ill-informed attempts to address the problems of food and agriculture. As this seductive approach continues to infiltrate universities and academia, Guthman challenges us to reject apolitical and self-gratifying techno-solutions and develop the capacity and willingness to respond to the root causes of these crises. Solutions, she argues, are a product of our current condition, not an answer to it.
