Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

Megan Hellerer

So many of us have done everything "right" for our careers. You picked a career "destination", got the grades, made the 5-year plan, checked all the boxes, worked hard, and climbed the ladder -- and now? You're miserable. Every career milestone has made you feel emptier and you've finally arrived at your "destination" to find that you're stuck, burned out and left wondering, 'WTF and I doing with my life?' 
 
In DIRECTIONAL LIVING, Megan Hellerer shows us how everything we've been taught about achievement and the path to success is wrong. She presents a new way of thinking about our lives, one that turns away from the voices telling us what a good life "should" look like and instead employs a toolkit full of ideas for a step-by-step approach to activating your purpose and finding an ambition that aligns with the direction in life you really want to take. 
 
Through Hellerer's revolutionary Directional Living Method, we can get unstuck in our careers or even transform them, move from misery to meaning, and find the work we are meant to be doing in the world.

Cal Newport

Hustle culture. Burnout. Quiet quitting. Today we're either sacrificing ourselves on the altar of success or we're rejecting the idea of ambition entirely. But it doesn't have to be all or nothing. There is a way to create meaningful work as part of a balanced life, and it's called 'slow productivity'. 
 
Coined by Cal Newport, the bestselling author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism, slow productivity is a revolutionary philosophy based on simple principles. From managing your energy according to the season, to identifying which projects to pursue and which to set aside, to building a schedule that yields maximum output with minimum stress, this timely and essential book will revolutionise how you work, helping you to accomplish great things at a more humane pace.

'The Everything Token cuts through the clutter and lays out a blueprint of what you can learn from that top 1% of companies that are using NFTs right' Gary Vaynerchuk 
 
'NFTs were a mystery to me. Thanks to this book, both the economics of NFTs and how businesses can use them are now in sharp focus and no longer mysterious. It helps, too, that the book was so much fun to read!' Paul Milgrom, Nobel Laureate in Economics 
 
NFTs cause excitement and skepticism. How much value can a token hold? What drives this value? 
 
The Everything Token is an essential primer on NFTs (non-fungible tokens), explaining their use, purpose, and how businesses can create and exploit them to develop new product lines, building customer loyalty and increased revenues at the same time. 
 
Together, Stephen, a marketing professional, and Scott, a Harvard Business School professor, have spent much of the past few years embedded in NFT communities and helping launch NFT products. As self-described beta testers of this brand-new technology, they&rsquo;ve seen its power first-hand and aim to educate others on the importance, uses and purpose of NFTs and surrounding, ever-evolving technologies. 
 
Demystifying the complexities, two experts in NFTs show why we should take NFTs far more seriously than their reputation as fun digital art collectibles suggest. They have a wider variety of uses than one may realise. 
 
Gripping and accessible, this book provides a guide and an insight into what can often be a hard-to-grasp area of technology.

How NFTs and Web3 Will Transform the Way We Buy, Sell, and Create

Seth Godin

The workplace has undergone a massive shift. Remote work and economic instability have depressed innovation and left us disconnected and disengaged. Quiet quitting runs rampant, and people show up without truly showing up. Alarmed managers are doubling down on keystroke surveillance, productivity tracking and back-to-the-office mandates, when what they should be doing is the opposite - affording employees the dignity necessary to inject purpose and motivation into their work. 
 
In The Song of Significance, Seth Godin argues that we need to build organisations that empower and trust employees to deliver their best work, no matter where they're working. If you want your employees to live up to their full professional potential, you must give them the respect and autonomy they deserve as humans. Godin offers a series of commitments leaders must make, and a list of organizational milestones on the way to significance. 
 
It's time for leaders to make and keep a new promise, and to recognize that, as Godin says, "Humans aren't a resource. They are the point."

-Put your plan into action 
 
So whether you are a founder who wants to make the 4-day week a reality, an employee who needs to make the case for a shorter working pattern to your board, or a manager who wonders whether this could give your team an extra edge, this is the only book you need to make the 4-day week work for you.

Samara Bay

What does power sound like? Loud? Brash? Masculine? Here's the truth: if you're a woman, a person of colour, an immigrant or queer, there's often dissonance between how you speak and how we think powerful people sound, i.e. the wealthy white men who have historically set the standard. 
 
In this witty and warm guide, speech expert Samara Bay, who has worked with the likes of Gal Gadot, Penélope Cruz and Terry Crews, as well as global leaders in business and politics, offers a new approach to asserting your power in all areas of life. Permission to Speak is packed with expert tips and easy-to-follow exercises, demonstrating that you don't have to speak like the status quo to be taken seriously.

Of the very few Fortune 500 companies that share diversity data, 72% of their senior executives are white men. And it's been proven that companies with more diverse management teams have nearly 20% higher revenues. Surely YOU don't want to be left behind? 
 
Moral imperatives aside, the business case for diversity and inclusion is clear - they are clear drivers of innovation, profit and employer brand. But how can male white leadership implement this change? There's no denying it's difficult -- perhaps you feel afraid to make mistakes, and confused about the evolving language of diversity and inclusion. 
 
In this revolutionary guide, leading diversity specialists Felicity Hassan and Suki Sandhu OBE teach you how to create an inclusive environment for your employees and have educated conversations about diversity, illuminating tricky territory with humour and heart. This judgement-free guide will educate, empower and embolden you to create a workplace where anyone can be themselves, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, class or disability - and eventually, to change the face of business for the better.

A Judgement-Free Guide to Diversity and Inclusion for Straight White Men

John A List

Why do some ideas make it big while others fail to take off? According to award-winning behavioural economist John List, the answer comes down to a single question: Can the idea scale? 
 
 Countless enterprises fall apart the moment they scale; their positive results fizzle, they lose valuable time and money, and the great electric charge of potential that drove them early on disappears. In short, they suffer a voltage drop. Yet success and failure are not about luck - in fact, there is a rhyme and reason as to why some ideas fail and why some make it big. Certain ideas are predictably scalable, while others are predictably destined for disaster. 
 
 In The Voltage Effect, University of Chicago economist John A. List explains how to identify the ideas that will be successful when scaled, and how to avoid those that won't. Drawing on his own original research, as well as fascinating examples from the realms of business, government, education, and public health, he details the five signature elements that cause voltage drops, and unpacks the four proven techniques for increasing positive results - or voltage gains - and scaling great ideas to their fullest potential. 
 
 By understanding the science of scaling, we can drive change in our schools, workplaces, communities, and society at large. Because a better world can only be built at scale.

The Voltage Effect

Anne Boden

After a lengthy career at the top of some of Britain's leading Banks, Anne Boden had become disillusioned with the status quo - the financial crash had broken trust in the whole sector and there seemed to be little appetite to make most of emerging technologies to revolutionise customer experience. Increasingly frustrated with the inertia, she decided to do something radical - she set up her own bank, Starling. 
 
In BANKING ON IT, Anne reveals the awe-inspiring story of how she broke through bureaucracy, tackled prejudice and successfully countered widespread suspicion to realise her vision for the future of consumer banking and, in doing so, trigger a new movement that would revolutionise the entire banking industry.

How to Think, Create, and Lead in Unconventional Ways

Jenny Rogers

'The coaching room can sometimes become its own theatre. A marriage unravels right in front of you. A shaming confession is made. A secret hugged for many years is disclosed. Tears of wrenching anger and despair can take up the whole session. These are times where you and the client hold your breath because nothing is ever going to be the same again.' 
 
It is very rare as an adult to find a place where you are not judged, where you can be open, honest and vulnerable: that is exactly what coaching provides. This book brings together twenty different stories which represent the very human dilemmas a coach can encounter. Coaching is not therapy but it is closely related, and while many people seek (or are assigned) executive coaching for work problems, just like therapy each person brings their whole self to the conversation. Exploring Jenny's beautifully written and moving stories will offer the reader a chance for deep reflection on the meaning of modern relationships.

Brands profit by telling women who they are and how to be. Now they've discovered feminism and are hell bent on selling "fempowerment" back to us. But behind the go-girl slogans and the go-viral hash-tags has anything really changed? 
 
In Brandsplaining, Jane Cunningham and Philippa Roberts present a data-led analysis of marketing to women and expose the good, the bad and the ugly assumptions that lie behind it. Informed by this and a significant new piece of global research they put forward an innovative solution: a framework to follow for marketing that is fresh, exciting, and - at last - sexist-free.

Does the thought of delivering a presentation make your heart skip a beat? Do your pitches fall flat no matter how much preparation you put in? Are you often comparing yourself to more eloquent speakers and wondering how they capture the room? 
 
At some point in our careers we will need to speak in front of an audience; whether to present our ideas to a group of five in a meeting, pitch for investment in front of a panel or deliver a keynote speech to one thousand delegates. Yet glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, is incredibly common and can inhibit our chances of career progression by up to 15%. 
 
 In Speaking with Confidence, Expert and managing director of Speakers' Corner Nick Gold, shows how anyone can learn to be a confident public speaker and use their surroundings to give them the support and structure they need to achieve maximum impact and success from their speech. His decades of experience coaching and producing some of the best speakers in the country have been condensed here into one expert guide to help you connect with your audience every time.

Are you stuck in a career rut? Are your former peers progressing ahead of you? Are you doing all the hard work but getting none of the rewards? Are you wondering what everyone else seems to know that you don't? 
 
Asking for a promotion ranks high on the list of life's most anxiety-inducing activities. Putting yourself out there to higher-ups can be intimidating, and competition can be fierce, especially in the current economic climate. And, of course, what if they say no? 
 
But it's also one of the most important things you can do for your career. If you want to move forward in your company or field, promotions are part of the game and they won't just be handed to you - you have to work - and ask - for them. Ready to take that next step? Penguin Experts Series: Get Promoted will give you everything you need to know before the big conversation.
