A Shortcut To Natural, Effective, and Engaging Leadership That Any Leader Can Use To Improve Their Results Fast
Leadership Mindset 2.0 is the seemingly counterintuitive, yet most effective approach to quickly becoming a top-tier leader.
The kind of leader that is truly confident, strategically effective, and creates highly engaged, skilled, and productive teams in any organization lucky enough to have them.
Better yet, this leadership "system" empowers leaders to do all of this WITHOUT unsustainable, unhealthy, or unethical bully tactics, micromanaging, or 24/7 work schedules.
These are the same tools and techniques that organizations like Uber, Microsoft, Stanford University, and PwC have been hiring Michael to teach their top executives for years.
It's all been simplified everything into an incredibly affordable, focused, and actionable book any aspiring or current leader can pick up and start using in a single sitting.
Here's a snapshot of what's in the book;
* The truth about what your team wants and truly needs from you, what they don't, and why what you're doing now is training them to underperform
* The huge mistake nearly every leader makes when trying to look authentic and confident, and what the thousands of leaders are doing instead
* A critical formula to successfully having difficult conversations with anyone (handy graphic included)
* The true definition of "imposter syndrome," why it's massively common and highly driven people, and how you can immediately overcome it - permanently!
* How to make yourself "Senior Leader Ready," giving you the natural ability to have strategic conversations and earn the trust of high-level leaders without faking it or feeling out of place
* Why everything you know about thinking and acting more strategically is wrong and the ridiculously simple solution you can use immediately
* Case studies that prove how this approach works in any leadership role, in any country, in any industry - and with any leader, no matter what your natural disposition
* The little-known neuroscience trick that can transform you into a confident, connected, empathetic leader - in literally the speed of thought
* Learn the secret hack that top CEOs use to manage their stress and energy and keep themselves at the top of their game
* Uncover the number one blind spot that almost every leader has that causes them to self-sabotage, lose confidence and keep themselves stuck - and what you need to overcome it right now

Learning to Govern Together in Representative Democracy: The Dynamics of Cooperation and Competition in Coalition Governance
Thomas König, Xiao Lu
English | 2025 | ISBN: 019895901X | 161 Pages | True PDF | 2.78 MB

Learning to Govern Together in Representative Democracy introduces a dynamic theory on coalition governance and circular regression for studying joint policy-making of coalition parties, which considers the "pro tempore" nature of representative democracy. Because representative democracy limits the time to govern, the implementation of a common policy agenda is temporarily constrained. In parliamentary democracies, in which coalition governance is the rule, this temporal constraint demands that coalition parties overcome their collective action problems in joint policy-making within a term.
This book argues that the cooperative and competitive incentives of coalition parties vary over time. In the beginning of a term, coalition parties only have a prior belief about the type of partnership, and ministerial office-holders, who are responsible for the implementation of a common policy agenda, do not know how many bills they will initiate and whether their partner will respond cooperatively or competitively to their bill proposals. Over time, however, they can learn this type from experienced interactions in joint policy-making to optimize the timing of further bill initiation. To derive propositions and hypotheses on timing of bill initiation, the authors distinguish two learning models, a portfolio-model with autonomous learning from experienced interactions within the own jurisdiction, and a partisan-model with considering experienced interactions of co-partisan office-holders. The empirical examination of these models for the timing of bill initiation covers 11 parliamentary democracies, in which about 25.000 government bills were initiated and immediately approved or scrutinized in parliament. The findings show that ministerial office-holders infer the type of partnership from the duration of parliamentary scrutiny and initiate further bill proposals either early, if they learned about a cooperative type that immediately approved their bills, or late, if they learned about a competitive type that subjected their bills to intense parliamentary scrutiny. The results further reveal variation across the periods of a term, in which the cooperative and competitive incentives of coalition parties vary due to the temporal constrains for representative democracy.
The book provides an understanding of the dynamics of coalition effectiveness, stability of coalition government, and satisfaction with coalition governance, which are determined by learning about the cooperative or competitive partnership type, portfolio- or partisan learning, and the early or late timing of bill initiation.

Lesbians: Where are we now?
by Julie Bindel
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1800754272 | 208 Pages | True ePUB | 1.36 MB

''Bracing, nourishing and wonderfully pro-woman' Victoria Smith, author of Hags
What does it mean to be a lesbian now? Has the quest for lesbian liberation stalled, and if so, why?
Part-memoir, part frontline reportage and part cultural commentary, Julie Bindel examines what defines lesbian culture, love, friendship and happiness today. She distinguishes the particular challenges facing lesbians from the very different experiences of gay men, and asks: why do lesbians so often seem to face particular hostility? Comparing past attitudes to today, she argues that lesbians continue to suffer from bigotry and discrimination because sexism and enforced gendered roles are still left unchallenged. She explores why many of the biggest assaults on lesbian freedom and wellbeing around the world now come, not just from conservatives, but also from so-called progressives, who are often antagonistic to lesbians organising and socialising autonomously.
Rooted in her own remarkable story, this personal and passionate book is both an investigation into the obstacles to lesbian flourishing, and a testament to the particular delights of being a lesbian.

Lessons from the Social Condensers: 101 Soviet Workers' Clubs and Spaces for Mass Assembly
by Anna Bokov
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3856764461 | 203 Pages | PDF | 45 MB

In the Soviet Union in the 1920s, the term "social condenser" came to signify architecture's agency in shaping individual behaviours and reforming society at large. The buildings conceived as structures for public assembly according to these ideals are among the earliest experiments of the modern movement. Despite their indisputable impact, there is little insight into this considerable body of work. The 101 case studies presented here reflect the wide reach of early Soviet social condensers and serve as precedents for how architecture can activate social function, yet also as cautionary tales of architecture as an instrument of state propaganda, social engineering, and territorial control.

Lessons in Creativity: Stories and Strategies to Cultivate Your Creative Confidence by Ben Rennie
English | May 5th, 2025 | ISBN: 1394331134 | 240 pages | True EPUB | 0.53 MB
How do our everyday choices infuse our lives with purpose? What happens to the things we create, and how do they impact others? How does innovation influence our lives, our communities and the spaces we share?

Lessons in Creativity is a powerful exploration of what it means to be creative, offering readers a blend of personal stories, unexpected insights and inspirational takeaways. Australian designer Ben Rennie takes readers on a journey from working with world-leading brands, including Chanel, Luxottica and Gore-Tex, to the everyday moments that shape the imagination. In this book, you'll follow Ben as he explores the tangible, personal power of creative confidence.
We often underestimate the potential of our own creativity, believing it belongs to artists, writers or performers. But creativity is inherently human - it's about showing up with generosity and curiosity. Whether you're an accountant, a politician, a full-time parent or an engineer, creativity brings exciting thinking and purpose to life.
As the foundation of our work, relationships and lives, creativity brings meaning and fulfilment to everything we do. Lessons in Creativity reaffirms our role as the architect of our destiny, with the ability to form new habits, craft fresh stories and unlock unseen horizons. It reveals a philosophy for aligning your daily actions with your deepest aspirations and values, using your creative confidence as the engine for transformation.
The creative journey is a winding road marked by persistence and self-awareness. Creativity is not something we have or we don't; we learn and develop it through practice. In adopting this mindset, we open ourselves to a world of possibility, where each decision brings us closer to realising a potential. In this sense, creative problem-solving is not a gift but a skill.
If you're feeling stuck or disconnected, Lessons in Creativity will inspire you to show up, take that first step and re-engage your creative potential.

Let Colleges Fail: The Power of Creative Destruction in Higher Education
by Richard K. Vedder
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1598134035 | 225 Pages | True ePUB | 1.5 MB

Everyone knows American universities are more expensive and less impressive than ever. But no one has come up with a plan to fix them.
Richard Vedder, Senior Fellow at Independent Institute and Distinguished Professor of Economics Emeritus at Ohio University, asks the forbidden question:
Why do we subsidize universities through taxpayer-provided grants and private donor gifts when the institutions are so obviously failing America's youth?
How can we justify this special status, while businesses offering far more useful goods and services are punished by confiscatory taxes-for simply turning a well-deserved profit?
Read this book and discover:
what universities can-indeed, must-learn from the profit-making private sector;
why big government needs to get out of the student loan business yesterday ... and what will happen if it refuses to do so;
why accreditation, though infrequently questioned or critiqued, might actually be unnecessary ... or even bad;
how privatizing state universities could actually open newer and more affordable finance options;
what a healthy voucher/scholarship arrangement could look like;
and much, much more ...
Daring in its analysis, practical in its problem-solving, and thoroughly readable in its prose, Let Colleges Fail is indispensable reading for those who want America's colleges to thrive once again.

Louie Clay, Max Niedzwiecki, Phyllis Tickle, "Letters from Samaria: The Prose & Poetry of Louie Crew Clay"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 081923219X | EPUB | pages: 176 | 0.6 mb
The definitive collection from one of thethe leading voices on LGBTQ issues in the Episcopal Church.

Letters from Samaria gathers together much of Louie (Crew) Clay's best and most influential prose and poetry, written from 1974 until the present day, including an essay composed especially for the volume. Much of the material has not appeared since its original publication in newsletters and other ephemeral sources. It is crisply written, and often surprising for its bravery, matter-of-fact self-disclosure, insight, and love. Louie played a pivotal role in transforming The Episcopal Church - and, indeed, Christianity - over the past 40 years. This collection provides a window into Louie Clay's unlikely and at times shocking ministry throughout the years as history was unfolding.

Like: The Button That Changed the World by Martin Reeves, Bob Goodson
English | April 29th, 2025 | ISBN: 9798892790451 | 288 pages | True EPUB | 13.20 MB
A riveting, insider's look at the creation and evolution of the like button and what it reveals about innovation, business, and culture-and its profound impact on modern human interaction.

"...an entertaining new book by Martin Reeves and Bob Goodson on the origins of the "like" button." - The Economist
Over seven billion times a day, someone taps a like button. How could something that came out of nowhere become so ubiquitous-and even so addictive? How did this seemingly ordinary social media icon go from such a small and unassuming invention to something so intuitive and universally understood that it has scaled well beyond its original intent?
This is the story of the like button and how it changed our lives. In Like, bestselling author and renowned strategy expert Martin Reeves and coauthor Bob Goodson-Silicon Valley veteran and one of the originators of the like button-take readers on a quest to uncover the origins of the thumbs-up gesture, how it became an icon on social media, and what's behind its power.
Through insights from key players, including the founders of Yelp, PayPal, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, Gmail, and FriendFeed, you'll hear firsthand the disorderly, serendipitous process from which the like button was born. It's a story that starts with a simple thumbs-up cartoon but ends up with surprises and new mysteries at every turn, some of them as deep as anthropological history and others as speculative as the AI-charged future.
But this is much more than the origin story of the like button. Drawing on business and innovation theory, evolutionary biology, social psychology, neuroscience, and other human-centered disciplines, this deeply researched book offers smart and unexpected insights into how this little icon changed our world-and all of us in the process.

Liminality and the City in Contemporary New York Fiction
by Alina Stocklöv
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3662712105 | 189 Pages | True ePUB | 0.33 MB

This book explores liminal spaces and states in New York City literature after 2000. The concept of "liminality" refers to a transitional state where people, places, or ideas exist between two clearly defined conditions. In this ambiguous "in-between state", uncertainty, indeterminacy, and change prevail, temporarily suspending traditional norms and allowing for complex identity formation and social reordering. Liminality offers a multifaceted, interdisciplinary approach to urban literature, as the city itself is defined by both temporal and spatial thresholds. The study examines the interplay between liminality, the city, and postmodernism, as well as the literary representation and narrative depiction of these relations.
Drawing on key anthropological works by Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner, and engaging with the writings of Jacques Derrida, Henri Lefebvre, Carl Gustav Jung, Michel Foucault, Walter Benjamin, and Homi K. Bhabha, this study investigates the development of the concept of liminality in the humanities. It then proceeds with comparative literary analysis of selected texts by canonical authors such as Don DeLillo, Jonathan Safran Foer, Joseph O'Neill, and Teju Cole, focusing on urban mobility, liminal spaces, and New York as a place of memory and trauma in the post-9/11 literary landscape.

Literary Culture in the Medieval Welsh Marches: Networks, Places, Politics
Matthew Siôn Lampitt
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9780192846662 | 261 Pages | True PDF | 3.6 MB

The Welsh Marches, a name which today refers to the borderland regions between England and Wales, are often coupled with images of idealized rusticity, of 'blue remembered hills'. Yet, in the Middle Ages, the Marches stretched from the borders into much of modern-day Mid and South Wales, and were important spaces of conflict, colonization, and contact; of complex, shifting, strategic politics and identities; and, crucially, of vibrant literary activity. An exploration of the Marches' multilingual literary cultures, this book is structured around three geotemporal case studies: Hereford, c. 1170-c. 1210; Ludlow, c. 1310-c. 1350; Ynysforgan, c. 1380-c. 1410. Analysing texts and manuscripts composed, copied, compiled, translated, or otherwise circulated in these locales, this study crosses linguistic and disciplinary boundaries to formulate readings of works in French, Welsh, English, and Latin. These readings are developed through an extended engagement with the philosophy of Bruno Latour, particularly his work on Actor-Network-Theory and modes of existence. From these perspectives, this book not only situates the March within wider literary networks, but also reads its texts as networking narratives that deconstruct binaries of centre and periphery, of local and global, of human and nonhuman, and even of reality and fiction themselves.

Larissa McLean Davies, Brenton Doecke, Philip Mead, "Literary Knowing and the Making of English Teachers: The Role of Literature in Shaping English Teachers' Professional Knowledge and Identities"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367618680 | PDF | pages: 255 | 4.8 mb
At a time when knowledge is being 're-valued' as central to curriculum concerns, subject English is being called to account. Literary Knowing and the Making of English Teachers puts long-standing debates about knowledge and knowing in English in dialogue with an investigation of how English teachers are made in the 21st century.

This book explores, for the first time, the role of literature in shaping English teachers' professional knowledge and identities by examining the impacts, in particular, of their own school teaching in their 'making'. The voices of early career English teachers feature throughout the work, in a series of vignettes providing reflective accounts of their professional learning. The authors bring a range of disciplinary expertise and standpoints to explore the complexity of knowledge and knowing in English. They ask: How do English teachers negotiate competing curriculum demands? How do they understand literary knowledge in a neoliberal context? What is core English knowledge for students, and what role should literature play in the contemporary curriculum? Drawing on a major longitudinal research project, they bring to light what English teachers see as central to their work, the ways they connect teaching with their disciplinary training, and how their understandings of literary practice are contested and reimagined in the classroom.
This innovative work is essential reading for scholars and postgraduate students in the fields of teacher education, English education, literary studies and curriculum studies.

Little Bosses Everywhere: How the Pyramid Scheme Shaped America by Bridget Read
English | May 6th, 2025 | ISBN: 0593443926 | 368 pages | True EPUB (Retail Copy) | 1.46 MB
A groundbreaking work of history and reportage that unveils the stranger-than-fiction world of multilevel marketing: a massive money-making scam and radical political conspiracy that has remade American society.

"Gripping and instructive . . . lucid and engaging . . . ridget Read sketches a vivid portrait of a cultish culture."-The Washington Post
Companies like Amway, Mary Kay, and Herbalife advertise the world's greatest opportunity: the chance to be your own boss via an enigmatic business model called multilevel marketing, or MLM. They offer a world of pink Cadillacs, white-columned mansions, tropical vacations, and-most precious of all-financial freedom. If, that is, you're willing to shell out for expensive products and recruit everyone you know to buy them, and if they recruit everyone they know, too, thus creating the "multiple levels" of MLM.
Overwhelming evidence suggests that most people lose money in multilevel marketing, and that many MLM companies are pyramid schemes. Yet the industry's origins, tied to right-wing ideologues like Ronald Reagan, have escaped public scrutiny. MLM has slithered in the wake of every economic crisis of the last century, from the Depression to the pandemic, ensnaring laid-off workers, stay-at-home moms, and teachers-anyone who has been left behind by rising inequality.
In Little Bosses Everywhere, journalist Bridget Read tells the gripping story of multilevel marketing in full for the first time, winding from sunny postwar California, where a failed salesman started a vitamin business, through the devoutly religious suburbs of Michigan, where the industry built its political influence, to stadium-size conventions where today's top sellers preach to die-hard recruits. MLM has enriched powerful people, like the DeVos and Van Andel families, Warren Buffett, and President Donald Trump, all while eroding public institutions and the social safety net, then profiting from the chaos. Along the way, Read delves into the stories of those devastated by the majority-female industry: a veteran in Florida searching for healing; a young mom in Texas struggling to feed her children; a waitress scraping by in Brooklyn.
A wild trip down an endless rabbit hole of greed and exploitation, Little Bosses Everywhere exposes multilevel marketing as American capitalism's stealthiest PR campaign, a cunning grift that has shaped nearly everything about how we live, and whose ultimate target is democracy itself.
