'The definitive account of how the world’s richest man, in a fit of unbridled vanity and arrogance, took over and destroyed our digital town square' John Carreyrou, bestselling author of Bad Blood 
 
‘Astonishing. Kate Conger and Ryan Mac’s meticulous, comprehensive reporting turns an opaque mess brutally transparent’ Jia Tolentino, bestselling author of Trick Mirror 
 
‘Gripping… Through fly-on-the-wall reporting, Character Limit takes readers inside Elon Musk's tumultuous Twitter takeover and the disruption of a company, an industry, and the online public square. What a wild ride' Bradley Hope, bestselling author of Billion Dollar Whale 
 
In a world of viral ideas and emotion, who gets to control the narrative, who gets to be heard, and what does power really cost? 
 
This is the story of the showdown between Elon Musk and Twitter and how the richest man on earth suddenly came to control one of the most powerful media platforms in the world. In Character Limit, award-winning reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac draw on exclusive interviews, unreported documents and internal Twitter recordings to provide a revelatory, three-dimensional, and definitive account of what really happened when Musk showed up to takeover Twitter, spoiling for a brawl and intent on revolution, with his merciless, sycophantic cadre of lawyers, investors, and bankers. 
 
In part, this is the story of Twitter's founder, Jack Dorsey, who idealistically dreamed of building a 'digital town square' but detested Wall Street and never built a profitable business, and Musk, one of the site's most influential users with over 70 million followers. To Musk, Twitter—once known for its almost absolute commitment to free speech—had utterly lost its way. Blaming it for the proliferation of what he called the “woke mind virus”, he claimed that the survival of humanity itself depended on the future of the site. 
 
In January 2022, Musk began secretly accumulating Twitter stock. By April, he was its largest shareholder, and, soon after, he made an unsolicited offer to purchase the company for the unimaginable sum of $44 billion. Backed into a corner, Twitter’s board accepted his offer—only for Musk to change his mind, forcing Twitter to sue him. 
 
Drawing on unparalleled sources, this is the defining story of our time told in vivid, cinematic detail.

Unconscious leaders crash and burn. Conscious leaders achieve and thrive. 
 
Most leaders are unconscious leaders. They are driven by fear to make choices that are at odds with healthy professional relationships and business vitality and balance. 
 
But it can be different. You can be a conscious leader, motivated by a desire to learn, to adapt, to listen. 
 
In The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, three leading experts set out the principles for great leadership and how to implement them. They take the reader, step by step, through a series of goals that are both inspirational and achievable, offering a road map that will guide you from fear-based to trust-based leadership. 
 
Once you and your team start to practice these commitments - from Taking Radical Responsibility, through to Speaking Candidly and Excelling in Your Zone of Genius - you’ll find that not only do you become more collaborative, creative and engaged but that you will achieve more, create healthier relationships with those around you, and simultaneously become less stressed and more fulfilled. 
 
Any one of these 15 commitments will change your life. All of them together are revolutionary.

The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership

A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success

Paul Eastwick

A ground-breaking look at the science of love and connection – and an urgent corrective to some of our most fundamental assumptions about attraction. 
 
'In a world saturated with cynical advice about dating and gender, this book is a revelation . . . Bonded by Evolution is rigorous science written with warmth and moral clarity.' DANIEL H. PINK, author of Drive and The Power of Regret 
 
--------------------- 
 
We’re told that what men and women desire from relationship is different and at odds – he’s looking for novelty, she’s looking for commitment; he’s concerned with looks, she’s concerned with status. We’re told that we live in a hierarchy of romantic inequality, in which desirability is predetermined by a narrow set of characteristics and where some people are marriage material while others are wired for promiscuity. Such ideas have their roots in a branch of science called evolutionary psychology, and over the past few decades its ideas have permeated our culture and fuelled a narrative that inspires despair and anxiety – and, in its most extreme form, these ideas have been hijacked in the service of misogyny and violence. 
 
But this narrative is unscientific. The truth about human attraction – and the way evolution plays out in our romantic lives – is much more interesting and optimistic. 
 
Bonded by Evolution offers a radical new picture of the roots of enduring chemistry. Distilling evolutionary biology, anthropology and psychology and informed by his pathbreaking research and original experiments at the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory in California, psychology professor Paul Eastwick reveals how attraction is best depicted as a process of finding – and, often, creating – a compatible relationship. Once we understand how ancestral humans sought compatible partners in small networks, we can build a clearer – and brighter – picture of how attraction, sex and relationships really work. 
 
--------------------- 
 
'Profound and pragmatic, suggesting an entirely different approach to the study – and pursuit – of love.' ERIC KLINENBERG, co-author of Modern Romance 
 
'Rarely have scientific rigor and exuberant optimism been such congenial companions . . . Bonded by Evolution presents an optimistic new paradigm, one that provides clear guidance for romantic success.' ELI FINKEL, author of The All or Nothing Marriage
