Ryan Holiday has led the popular revival of stoicism since 2014,
with his acclaimed bestsellers The Obstacle is the Way, Ego is the
Enemy, and - in partnership with Stephen Hanselman - The Daily
Stoic. This latter offered powerful quotations, fresh anecdotes,
and insightful commentary on the wisdom of Epictetus, Seneca, and
Marcus Aurelius. Now Holiday and Hanselman are back with The Daily
Stoic Journal, an interactive guide to integrating this ancient
philosophy into our 21st century lives. Readers will find weekly
explanations and quotations to inspire deeper reflection on Stoic
practices, as well as daily prompts and a helpful introduction
explaining the various Stoic tools of self-management. The
beautifully designed hardback features space for morning and
evening notes, along with advice to encourage ongoing writing and
insights, day by day through the year. As a companion volume for
those who already love The Daily Stoic, or as a stylish stand-alone
journal, this is perfect for anyone seeking inner peace and clarity
in our volatile world.

Are you ready to lead? Will you pass the test?
Despite all the effort through the years to understand what it takes to
be an effective leader, the challenges of leadership remain enormously
difficult and elusive; even today, most CEOs don't last five years in
the job. The demands to deliver at a consistently high level can be
unforgiving.
The loneliness. The weight of responsibility. The relentless
second-guessing and criticism. The pressure to build all-star teams.
The 24/7 schedule that requires superhuman stamina. The tough decisions
that often leave no one happy. The expectation to always have the right
answer when it can be hard just to know the right question.
These challenges are brought into their highest and sharpest relief in
the corner office, but they are hardly unique to chief executives. All
leaders face their own version of these tests, and the authors draw on
the distilled wisdom, stories, and lessons from hundreds of chief
executives to show how every aspiring leader can master these
challenges and lead like a CEO. These foundational leadership skills
will make all aspiring executives more effective in their roles today
and lift the trajectory of their careers.
The CEO Test is the authoritative, no-nonsense insider's guide to
navigating leadership's toughest challenges, brought to you by authors
uniquely qualified to tell the stories. Adam Bryant has conducted
in-depth interviews with more than 600 CEOs. Kevin Sharer spent more
than two decades as president and then CEO of Amgen, where he led its
expansion from $1 billion in annual revenues to nearly $16 billion. He
has served on many boards and is a sought-after mentor for CEOs of
global companies.
Leadership is getting harder as the speed of disruption across all
industries accelerates. The CEO Test will better prepare you to
succeed, whether you're a CEO or just setting out to become one.

'At last. At last this very important book has been written . . .
It will empower legions of women to step into their greatness.'
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of EAT, PRAY, LOVE What could you achieve
if you were confident enough to take risks? How much more fulfilled
would you be if you ignored other people's perceptions and forged
your own path? All too often talented women feel unable to share
their opinions, challenge the norm or take the lead. But now it's
time to play big. As the founder of a global leadership programme
for women, Tara Mohr has spent her career teaching exceptional
women to find their voice and their confidence. In Playing Big she
shares her proven techniques for mastering self-doubt, dealing with
criticism and communicating with authority. She also demonstrates
how to become self-assured enough to stop planning and take a leap
forward so that you can achieve the things you want most. 'The
perfect catalyst for any woman who wants to go outside her comfort
zone, find her voice and embrace the biggest possibilities of her
life.' Kelly McGonigal, PhD, author of The Willpower Instinct
Why is it that some people challenge and motivate us, while others
drain our spirit? What is that magical quality certain people have
that makes others engage fully?
In her hugely inspirational and practical book, Betsy Myers--senior
adviser to two US presidents and former executive director of
Harvard's Center for Public Leadership-- demonstrates that you do
not need to be in a boardroom, on a battlefield, or on a ballot to
have a profound impact on everyone around you. Good leadership is
not about having the most knowledge or power but about how you make
others "feel." Drawing on her experiences from the Oval Office to
the playground, Myers reveals seven core principles that will help
you:
- Set the right priorities for yourself
- Uncover problems while they are still easy to fix
- Connect with others on a deeper level
- Collaborate with those whose viewpoints differ from yours
- Push through your fears
True leadership is not just all around us--it's "within "us.

life.

pragmatic leadership methodology that teaches how to lead any team in
any situation to victory. Here, you will learn how to:
*Deal with egos and the problems they cause
