Harness the Power of Behavioral Science to Transform Your Working Life

In How to Have a Good Day, economist and former McKinsey partner Caroline Webb shows readers how to use recent findings from behavioral economics, psychology, and neuroscience to transform our approach to everyday working life.
 
Advances in behavioral sciences are giving us an ever better understanding of how our brains work, why we make the choices we do, and what it takes for us to be at our best. But it has not always been easy to see how to apply these insights in the real world--until now.
 
In How to Have a Good Day, Webb explains exactly how to apply this science to our daily tasks and routines. She translates three big scientific ideas into step-by-step guidance that shows us how to set better priorities, make our time go further, ace every interaction, be our smartest selves, strengthen our personal impact, be resilient to setbacks, and boost our energy and enjoyment. Through it all, Webb teaches us how to navigate the typical challenges of modern workplaces--from conflict with colleagues to dull meetings and overflowing inboxes--with skill and ease.
 
Filled with stories of people who have used Webb's insights to boost their job satisfaction and performance at work, How to Have a Good Day is the book so many people wanted when they finished Nudge, Blink and Thinking Fast and Slow and were looking for practical ways to apply this fascinating science to their own lives and careers.
 
A remarkable and much-needed book, How to Have a Good Day gives us the tools we need to have a lifetime of good days.

History, Rules, Skills and Tactics

Chess was said to have been developed by an Indian philosopher in the sixth century. Originally called Chaturanga, the game spread throughout the Far East and then across Europe by the 11th century. Like most popular games it developed from being a pastime into a competitive sport with the world's first known tournament being held in the middle of the 19th century. This expertly presented new book tells you everything you will need to know about the background and playing of chess - the most popular and challenging strategy game of all. While it has a complex history and development, the modern game is a relatively recent development and the rules are fairly straightforward to learn. All the pieces and modern rules and terminology of chess are clearly explained in an accessible and structured way. Once the movements of each chess piece and rule of the game have been learned, the next task is take on an opponent, and this book shows how to make basic check mates in order to win. The different strategies (the pin, the fork, the skewer and promoting the pawn) are explained along with how to manage the game as it progresses from opening through the middle game to the end game at the most basic level, before moving on to intermediate and more advanced levels. The next section of the book is devoted to how to think ahead and play different types of games in order to win and create a successful end game at the higher levels of play. The book provides guidance - assessing the state of the game and knowing whether to make an all out attack, trade places or build up a strategy for the other pieces before attempting to end the game. Some of the chess masterpieces will be outlined as inspiration for tactical play - such as Morphy versus Duke of Brunswick from 1858 (the most famous game in chess history) and the Fischer versus Spassky world championship, played between the US and Russian rivals at the height of the Cold War in 1972. Finally the book explains options of where and to play chess and different opponents to play against - such as against home computer software or online games. Various options are outlined such as rapidplay or blitz chess, which have fast timed finishes and slow methods such as correspondence chess, which involves long distance correspondence through a chess server, e-mail or by post. This comprehensive book is suitable for beginners and advanced players alike and is illustrated with more than 700 colour pictures. It will teach you a wide range of skills to play chess - by technical instruction, helpful advice, step-by-step moves, action from the chess champions and tips on becoming a winner at the game.

How to Build Your Dream Team, Explode Your Growth, and Let Your Business Soar

Scaling a business is not for the faint of heart. It's a mind-bending journey that causes millions of business owners around the globe to either throw in the towel--or avoid risk entirely and suffer from smallness and mediocrity.

 

Most of these businesses fail because they are ill prepared to face the real challenges involved in scaling. Either they don't have the bandwidth to keep up with the sales demand or production, miss out on major opportunities due to fear, or keep making the same mistakes over and over because systems and processes aren't in sync with the rate of growth.

 

To truly scale, you must upsize your strategic practices, implement new marketing strategies, find new ways to build your team, and expand your mindset to break through whatever is keeping you stuck at the same level. Then you must be willing to take the leap into the giant unknown - to make your impossible possible.

In Scale or Fail, author Allison Maslan--who has successfully scaled ten companies from scratch and has guided thousands of small businesses to do the same--shares her revolutionary SCALEit Method ® for successfully growing, replicating, and expanding your business. She also shares pivotal mindset strategies she's used to break the fear barrier as a trapeze artist so you can move past any obstacle, take strategic Big Picture risks, and fulfill your dreams of business expansion and skyrocketing profit.

 

Featuring a wealth of real-life success stories, visual tools, and exercises that are prescriptive and inspirational, Scale or Fail offers proven scaling strategies and a proactive approach to:

 * Create your Big Picture Vision and build a plan to achieve it
 * Produce an ever-flowing stream of cash flow with consistent profits
 * Establish a powerhouse team that functions well without you
 * Become a true leader and feel like you deserve your success
 * Improve systems and processes that facilitate scaling
 * Get past the mental and strategic pitfalls that cause revenue bottlenecks
 *  

Scale or Fail is adaptable to any type of business--manufacturing, consumer goods, a brick and mortar, a digital service, a wholesaler, a consulting service, and everything in between. Whether you're six figures and scaling to seven. . . or in the seven figures and scaling to eight or even nine, Scale or Fail provides the roadmap to multiply your business growth--and empower you to soar in the air with the greatest of ease.
