Blue Is the New White: The Best Path to Success No One Told You About—Until Now

"Becoming successful in today’s America is simple: graduate high school, go to a good college, and get a white-collar job. That path is going to lead you to the biggest paycheck and the best opportunities. Right? The truth is, some of the most lucrative jobs out there are blue-collar jobs—yet society pushes the perception that being an auto mechanic, plumber, electrician, or construction worker somehow indicates a lack of success. A career in the skilled trades was once regarded as a good, honest profession. Now, we discourage young people from pursuing those careers in favor of racking up massive student loan debt and pursuing professional careers that may not always play to their strengths. In Blue Is the New White, Josh Zolin shows that success doesn’t have to mean a college degree. He discovered this firsthand, rising through hard work from a technician at his dad’s small business to the CEO of a multimillion-dollar company. There is more than one path to a stable career and a great financial future; in this book, you’ll learn just how many opportunities await you in places you never thought to look."

The Reflective Practitioner: How Professionals Think In Action

"A leading M.I.T. social scientist and consultant examines five professions -- engineering, architecture, management, psychotherapy, and town planning -- to show how professionals really go about solving problems. The best professionals, Donald Schon maintains, know more than they can put into words. To meet the challenges of their work, they rely less on formulas learned in graduate school than on the kind of improvisation learned in practice. This unarticulated, largely unexamined process is the subject of Schon's provocatively original book, an effort to show precisely how 'reflection-in-action' works and how this vital creativity might be fostered in future professionals. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. This audiobook is expertly read by Kaleo Griffith, with audio engineering by Blake Rook. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont."

Encounters with Unexpected Animals: Stories

"An imaginative, moving collection of stories infused with the magic and enigma of the human condition and drenched in Texas heat, from the best-selling author of We Burn Daylight. Encounters with Unexpected Animals takes readers deep into the heart of bestselling author Bret Anthony Johnston's home state of Texas, where teenagers search for love, parents grasp at connections with their children, and animals-real or imagined, familiar or unexpected-are reminders of the mystery, danger, and beauty of being alive. In "Caiman," a father buys a baby alligator in hopes of keeping his family safe. In "Soldier of Fortune," a teenage boy dog-sits for his neighbors after tragedy strikes, and his innocent snooping uncovers the family's most guarded secret. And in the luminous "Half of What Atlee Rouse Knows About Horses," an elderly man's heart is laid bare with the raw and breathtaking power of wild horses. Johnston's humor, empathy, and mastery of prose ring out through each story, bringing every finely-drawn character to radiant life. Individually, the stories are by turns suspenseful, poignant and exhilarating. Taken together, they reveal the abiding connections that lead us from sorrow and impermanence back to ourselves and, ultimately, to each other."

Capturing Kahanamoku: How a Surfing Legend and a Scientific Obsession Redefined Race and Culture

"The fascinating untold story of one scientist’s pursuit of a legendary surfer in his quest to define human nature, written with the compelling drama and narrative insight of Why Fish Don’t Exist and The Lost City of Z. Deep in the archives of New York’s American Museum of Natural History sits a wardrobe filled with fifty plaster casts of human heads and faces that are a century old. How they came to be is the story of one of the most consequential, and yet least-known, encounters in the history of science. In 1920, the museum’s director Henry Fairfield Osborn traveled to Hawaii on an anthropological research trip. While there, he took a surfing lesson. His teacher was Duke Kahanamoku, a famous surf-rider and budding movie star. For Osborn, a fervent eugenicist, Kahanamoku was a maddening paradox: physically “perfect,” yet belonging to an “imperfect” race. Upon his return to New York, Osborn’s fixation grew. He dispatched young scientist Louis Sullivan to Honolulu to measure, photograph, and cast in plaster Kahanamoku and other Hawaiian people. The study touched off a series of events that forever changed how we think about race, culture, science, and the essence of humanity. In Capturing Kahanamoku, historian Michael Rossi draws on archival research and firsthand interviews to weave together a truly fascinating cultural history that is an absorbing account of obsession, a cautionary tale about the subjectivity of science, a warning of the pernicious and lasting impact of eugenics, a meditation on humanity, and the story of a man whose personhood shunned classification. A heady blend of Barbarian Days and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Capturing Kahanamoku is a Victorian saga that explores very modern questions about humanity, the noble pursuit of knowledge, and dark compulsions to design nature."

Digital Exhaustion: Simple Rules for Reclaiming Your Life

"Brought to you by Penguin. We all know the feeling of digital exhaustion. The aimless scrolling, eyes glazing over at the screen. The feeling that no matter how many messages we respond to, how many posts we read, or how much data we sort through, we can never stay ahead of it. Digital Exhaustion shows us how we can reimagine our relationship with our digital tools. Digital transformation expert and Professor, Paul Leonardi, argues that our exhaustion comes from the “exhaustion triad;” that is, the way that our tools change how we pay attention, how we attribute behaviours and intentions to others, and how we experience our emotions. By creating new habits around our use of technologies, we can set up boundaries so they stop depleting us so quickly. Follow these eight rules to regain control of your life: - Rule #1: Stop Using Half Your Tools. - Rule #2: Make a Match. - Rule #3: Batch and Stream. - Rule #4: Wait. One Hour. One Day. One Week. - Rule #5: Don’t Assume. - Rule #6: Always Be Intentional. - Rule #7: Learn to See Around Corners. - Rule #8: Be Here, Not There. Discover the life-changing guide to using your digital devices in surprising new ways to help you beat exhaustion and find new sources of energy. ‘A practical game plan for pushing back.

The Outward Mindset: How to Change Lives and Transform Organizations

"Without even being aware of it, many of us operate from an inward mindset, a single-minded focus on our own goals and objectives. This book points out the many ways, some quite subtle and deceptive, that this mindset invites tension and conflict. But incredible things happen when people switch to an outward mindset. They intuitively understand what coworkers, colleagues, family, and friends need to be successful and happy. Their organizations thrive, and astonishingly, by focusing on others they become happier and more successful themselves! This new mindset brings about deep and far-reaching changes. The Outward Mindset presents compelling true stories to illustrate the gaps that individuals and organizations typically experience between their actual inward mindsets and their needed outward mindsets. And it provides simple yet profound guidance and tools to help bridge this mindset gap. This new edition includes a new preface, updated case studies, and new material covering Arbinger's latest research on mindsets. In the long run, changing negative behavior without changing one's mindset doesn't last—the old behaviors always reassert themselves. But changing the mindset that causes the behavior changes everything."

The Anatomy of Peace is the story of how they came together, how they help warring parents and children come together, and how we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and global conflicts that weigh us down, even when war is upon us. This new edition includes a new preface and an extensive discussion guide that helps listeners apply these principles in practical ways, making it an invaluable resource for organizations, teams, and individuals seeking to transform conflict into cooperation."
