    Inspiring Integrity: How to Win with Compliance and Propel Performance by L. Stephan Vincze provides an essential leadership roadmap for transforming compliance from a tedious obligation into a strategic business advantage. Vincze, a seasoned attorney, Washington political veteran, and corporate compliance professional with over twenty-five years of experience, emphasizes the importance of ethical leadership and a strong corporate culture in achieving compliance excellence. The book introduces a practical, five-step framework to create and sustain effective compliance programs, from defining success and developing a shared strategy to executing plans collaboratively and measuring results.Through compelling real-life anecdotes and case studies, Vincze demonstrates how compliance, when done right, can propel performance and inspire a culture of integrity. For instance, he shares the inspiring story of a biotech CEO motivated by his son's illness to push the boundaries of innovation, resulting in groundbreaking treatments. He also recounts how a heartfelt plea from a mother of a sick child inspired a sales team to adhere to compliance regulations, showing the human impact of their work. Additionally, Vincze discusses the lessons learned from high-profile compliance failures, such as the Theranos scandal, underscoring the necessity of early ethical leadership and robust compliance programs.This book is a must-read for CEOs, senior executives, compliance officers, and legal counsels, as well as law and business students, investors, and board members. With its actionable insights and practical advice, Inspiring Integrity equips readers with the leadership knowledge and tools to embed ethics and integrity into their corporate DNA and achieve sustainable business success."When it comes to ensuring a healthy corporate culture—one that understands and respects the business value of compliance—Steve Vincze is the 'go-to' professional. Steve and I have worked together in multiple companies to develop and instill a culture that can win with compliance at the forefront. This book is an essential read for those who want to do the right things in the right way. Winning with compliance is the only way to run your business." — Rich Daly, President and CEO, Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc."Wow. This is an important book. Inspiring Integrity is not just about compliance; it’s about how to develop a culture based on ethics and integrity, which every organization needs. Every CEO and director should read and draw inspiration from it." — Dr. Michael Gibbs, Ph.D., Clinical Professor of Economics, University of Chicago Booth School of Business

    The Shocking Truth about Digital...

    In today’s hyper-connected world, privacy is often taken for granted—or worse, dismissed as an outdated concern. We live in an era where our personal data is treated as currency, constantly collected, analyzed, and monetized by corporations, governments, and cybercriminals alike. Every search query, online purchase, and social media interaction contributes to a vast digital profile that shapes how businesses market to us, how financial institutions assess us, and even how law enforcement monitors us. But how much do we really understand about who is collecting our data and for what purpose?  
      
    Most people assume that their digital activities are relatively private—secured by passwords, encryption, and privacy settings. Yet, the reality is far more unsettling. Companies track our browsing habits even when we’re in “incognito” mode, apps request permissions far beyond what’s necessary, and smart devices listen in on conversations, all in the name of “improving user experience.” Governments worldwide deploy mass surveillance programs under the justification of national security, while hackers exploit weak security measures to access personal and financial information. Even when we willingly share details about our lives, such as through social media, we rarely consider the long-term consequences of this exposure.  
      
    Perhaps the most alarming aspect of digital privacy erosion is how seamlessly it has integrated into our daily lives. From social media giants like Facebook and TikTok to search engines like Google, nearly every digital service we rely on operates under a business model that thrives on harvesting user data. The more these companies know about us—our habits, preferences, and even emotions—the better they can predict and manipulate our behavior. This is the foundation of surveillance capitalism, an industry built on turning our personal lives into profit.

    Against Technoableism -...

    When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
     
     
     
    In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
     
     
     
    This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

    GRAND PRIZEWINNER -- 2023 Nautilus Book Award 
    "This book is profound... A must-read... Five stars." --Reader's Favorite 
    “Masterful… uplifting…” –Self Publishing Review 
    “Many books promise to change a person’s life. This one actually might.” –IndieReader 
    One of the essential books of our time, Reclaiming the Sacred draws on the work of thousands of psychologists and economists, cosmologists and activists, saints and poets, to ground us in our inherent joy, purpose, and belonging—both for our own sakes and the sake of the world. 
    It starts with an overview of the science of happiness, highlighting the things that most nourish human well-being—and some that don’t, most notably money and possessions. It goes on to examine the ways money nonetheless hooks so many of us, and the profound consequences our materialism has for us and the world—most critically the global climate crisis. 
    And then it goes beyond all of that, diving into the very heart of ourselves and the world, taking us on an exhilarating journey—both scientific and mystical—of reclaiming the sacredness of ourselves and this gorgeous world. This book elevates our existence, and lays an essential foundation for transcending this most critical era in human history.
