Guiding readers step by step with evidence-based techniques, it shares the latest research on the science of happiness, leadership development, neuroscience, and behavioral economics to help explain how your mind works and how to finally wake up excited for the day ahead.

Everyday Delicious: 30 Minute(ish) Home-Cooked Meals Made Simple: A Cookbook

By Rocco DiSpirito

"Finding himself at home more during the pandemic and in the hybrid world that followed, James Beard Award-winning author and chef Rocco DiSpirito rediscovered for the first time in decades, the joy of cooking for and savoring weekday meals with his family and friends, something that was not a regular occurrence when he was working in a busy restaurant or as celebrity chef on the go. Of course, as a home cook preparing nightly family meals, Rocco also experienced the fatigue of spending hours planning and cooking every night, rather than sitting at the table enjoying family and friends. That's what inspired this book: a collection of 100 no-fuss weekday meals to help you cook like a chef every night, in about thirty minutes or less. Every recipe is full of flavor and is sure to be a hit with the entire family. Recipes include many of Rocco's favorites from over the years, plus all new dishes, as well as classic Italian dishes from his childhood."--

Fusion Strategy: How Real-Time Data and AI Will Power the Industrial Future

By Vijay Govindarajan, Venkat Venkatraman

"Tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, and Google can collect real-time data from billions of users. For companies that design and manufacture physical products, that type of fluid, data-rich information used to be a pipe dream. Now, with the rise of cheap and powerful sensors, computing power, and artificial intelligence, things are changing-fast. In Fusion Strategy, world-renowned innovation guru Vijay Govindarajan and digital strategy expert Venkat Venkataraman offer a first-of-a-kind playbook that will help companies combine what they do best-create physical products-with what digitals do best-use algorithms and artificial intelligence to parse ginormous, interconnected datasets-to make strategic connections that would otherwise be impossible. The laws of competitive advantage are changing, rewarding those who have the most robust real-time insights rather than the most valuable assets. To compete in the new digital age, companies need to use real-time data to turbocharge their products, strategies, and customer relationships.
