Offices are not our natural habitat. Leadership is easier when we understand the nine instincts that still drive human behaviour. With the Industrial Revolution only 250 years ago, we left our hunting, gathering and village societies to work in offices and factories. The behaviour that ensured our ancestors' survival on the savannah plains of Africa over the millennia is alive and well in today's workplaces. The nine instincts explain the reasons, and the solutions, to the challenges that leaders commonly face. Based on the author's wide experience in large organisations combined with witty true stories of chimps from Gombe, Tanzania and Taronga Zoo, Sydney, Hardwired Humans explains the psychology behind the human instincts of social behaviour. As you read this entertaining book, you will learn how the instincts of clan connections, hierarchy, gossip, politics, snap judgments, status displays and sexual competition continue to drive modern office interactions just as they have driven human interaction for millennia. The book shares a practical framework that helps makes sense of human behaviour and allows leaders to manage more effectively. In a note introducing the book, Dr Jane Goodall calls it a 'compelling book'. The Australian Financial Review Boss magazine highly recommends the book as one 'that will captivate anyone who finds the "people stuff" confounding.'

Long before SARS-CoV-2 emerged, humanity was already facing a challenging economic moment, with human jobs going to automation, AI, and machines for efficiencies. In the downward slope of the pandemic, a large percentages of the world's population was without work, and many are still in isolation and social distancing for bio-safety and health. This book explores how people in their respective localities (developed and less developed spaces) are adapting for a new economy through new understandings of the world and concomitant reconceptualizations of the self. There are the efforts at self-learning, retraining, apprenticeships, gig work, and higher education and intensifications of hobbyist skills. This work also explores how people are re-branding themselves for the new economy. There are applications of extreme measures for survival in a job-scarce zero-sum environment and if it is true that crisis brings out opportunities, this is a highly opportune moment for humanity to redefine and move forward. This book explores the present moment with tens of millions of people around the world who are unemployed and/or under-employed and who need to meet basic survival needs in a time of high disruption. While people try to sort out issues at the macro- and meso- levels, people are responsible for their own well-being and need to engage in new thinking, revisioning who they are and what they are capable of, and they need to acquire new knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) to adapt. This book addresses how people are thinking of the present moment and the near-future, how people are surviving the present moment of sparsity and shortages, and how people are retooling themselves to adapt to a new economy.

This book is another example of the New Thought movement where the author looks at the law of attrac-tion in the sense of thought with the respect of the power of mind. Atkinson points out the similarities between the law of gravitation and the mental law of attraction. He ex-plains that thought vibrations are as real as those manifesting as light, heat, magnetism and electricity. The difference is in the vibratory rate which also ex-plains the fact that thought vibrations cannot usually be perceived by our five senses. The author, rather skillfully, argues that there are huge gaps in the spectrum of light and sound vibrations, wide enough to include other worlds. It is logical that these activities would be perceived by sense organs at-tuned to them. Increasingly sophisticated scientific instruments are able to register more and more of these hidden frequencies.
