THE REVEALING, DEFINING ACCOUNT OF THE DARK NETWORK THAT BROKE OUR
COUNTRY. 'An exceptional broadcaster' - Guardian | 'Consistently,
forensically, brilliant' - Emily Maitlis Something has gone really
wrong in Britain. Our economy has tanked, our freedoms are
shrinking, and social divisions are growing. Our politicians seem
most interested in their own careers, and much of the media only
make things worse. We are living in a country almost unrecognisable
from the one that existed a decade ago. But whose fault is it
really? Who broke Britain and how did they do it? Bold and incisive
as ever, James O'Brien reveals the shady network of influence that
has created a broken Britain of strikes, shortages and scandals. He
maps the web connecting dark think tanks to Downing Street, the
journalists involved in selling it to the public and the media
bosses pushing their own agendas. Over ten chapters, each focusing
on a particular person complicit in the downfall, James O'Brien
reveals how a select few have conspired - sometimes by
incompetence, sometimes by design - to bring Britain to its knees.
O'Brien's Introduction to Information Systems 16e reflects the
contemporary use of enterprise-wide business systems. New
real-world case studies continue to correspond with this industry
reality. The text's focus is on teaching the future manager the
potential effect on business of the most current IT technologies
such as the Internet, Intranets, and Extranets for enterprise
collaboration, and how IT contributes to competitive advantage,
reengineering business processes, problem solving, and
decision-making. The benchmark text for the syllabus organized by
technology (a week on databases, a week on networks, a week on
systems development, etc.) taught from a managerial perspective.
O'Brien defines technology and then explains how companies use the
technology to improve performance. Real world cases finalize the
explanation.

This book identifies the 13 main challenges designers face when
they talk about their work and provides communication strategies so
that a better design, not a louder argument, is what makes it into
the world. It is a fact that we all want to put great design into
the world, but no product ever makes it out of the building without
rounds of reviews, feedback, and signoff. As an interaction or UX
designer, you've felt the general trend toward faster development,
more work, and less discussion. As we spend time crafting, we
become attached to our own ideas and it gets all too easy to react
to feedback emotionally or dismiss it, when we should be taking the
time to decode it and explain or adapt the design. Communicating
the UX Vision helps you identify the skills and behavioral patterns
to present your work in more persuasive ways, and respond more
constructively to feedback from coworkers and stakeholders.
The voice of reason in a world that won’t shut up.
The Sunday Times Bestseller
Every day, James O’Brien listens to people blaming hard-working immigrants for stealing their jobs while scrounging benefits, and pointing their fingers at the EU and feminists for destroying Britain. But what makes James’s daily LBC show such essential listening – and has made James a standout social media star – is the incisive way he punctures their assumptions and dismantles their arguments live on air, every single morning.
In the bestselling How To Be Right, James provides a hilarious and invigorating guide to talking to people with unchallenged opinions. With chapters on every lightning-rod issue, James shows how people have been fooled into thinking the way they do, and in each case outlines the key questions to ask to reveal fallacies, inconsistencies and double standards.
If you ever get cornered by ardent Brexiteers, Daily Mail disciples or corporate cronies, this book is your conversation survival guide.

'Smart, analytical, self-aware and important' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL THE
INTIMATE, REVEALING NEW BOOK FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING,
PRIZE-WINNING HOW TO BE RIGHT There's no point having a mind if
you're not willing to change it James O'Brien has built well over a
million loyal listeners to his radio show by dissecting the
opinions of callers live on air, every day. But winning the
argument doesn't necessarily mean you're right. In this deeply
personal book, James turns the mirror on himself to reveal what he
has changed his mind about and why, and explores how examining and
changing our own views is our new civic duty in a world of outrage,
disagreement and echo chambers. He writes candidly about the stiff
upper lip attitudes and toxic masculinity that coloured his
childhood, and the therapy and personal growth that have led him
question his assumptions and explore new perspectives. Laying open
his personal views on everything from racial prejudice to emotional
vulnerability, from fat-shaming to tattoos, he then delves into the
real reasons -- often irrational or unconscious -- he holds them.
Unflinchingly honest, revealing and funny, How Not to Be Wrong is a
tonic for a world more divided than ever and a personal manifesto
for a better way of thinking and living. Because after all, if we
can't change our own minds we'll never really be able to change
anyone else's.

2019. Eighth collection. 24 poems. ALL RETCH AND NO VOMIT was
written upon the author's return to England in 2017 after a number
of years abroad. The titular poem is a seven-part study on modern
society whilst others in the collection range from postulations on
the nature of aesthetics in the church, the growing threat to
society posed by the recent explosion in Fathead numbers, the
effects of the modern news cycle on the psyche, sex, as always, and
the value of self-exploration in a world of superficiality. O'Brien
celebrated the completion of the collection by buying tickets out
of England.
