<b>Few things will change your trajectory in life or business as much as learning to think clearly. Yet few of us recognize opportunities to think in the first place.</b><br/><br/>You might believe youre thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you wont be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seeklove, belonging, success, wealth, victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want.<br/><br/><i>Clear Thinking</i> gives you the tools to recognize the moments that have the potential to transform your trajectory, and reshape how you navigate the critical space between stimulus and response. As Parrish shows, we may imagine we are the protagonists in the story of our lives. But the sad truth is, most of us run on autopilot. Our behavioral defaults, groomed by biology, evolution, and culture, are primed to run the show for us if we dont intervene. At our worst, we react to events without reasoning, not even realizing that weve missed an opportunity to think at all. At our best, we recognize these moments for what they are, and apply the full capacity of our reasoning and rationality to them.<br/><br/>Through stories, mental models, and more, Parrish offers the missing link between behavioral science and real-life outcomes. The result is a must-have manual for optimizing decision-making, gaining competitive advantage, and living a more intentional life.

In this new book, he teams up with Christopher Zook, a renowned financial investor who draws from thirty years of experience to round out the trilogy of #1 New York Times bestselling financial books.

In his book, Modularization, Martin Sköld shows how companies and organizations in all industries, can release their greatest competitive potential. Although this potential exists, it is often ignored, which means most businesses rely on only a single competitive advantage.<br/><br/>Some organizations are like a subway. They are experts in creating high volume by transporting thousands of people every day. The high volume is a prerequisite for low costs, but this also means that goods and services are general and are the same for everyone. Therefore, the subway cannot transport each customer exactly where they want to go; they can only follow certain routes.<br/><br/>Other organizations are like a cab, specializing in handling high variety and driving the customer exactly where they want to go. The high variety provides customer value and revenue benefits because the product or service is flexible and customized to suit each customer's unique needs. But the high variation also means that volume is low, as the number of customers per taxi is low. Volume and variety pull organizations in opposite directions and they are forced to make a trade-off.<br/><br/>However, with a clear structure, and many good examples, Martin shows that modularization is the foundation to achieving double competitiveness. It is a strategy to beat the trade-off between volume and variety. It combines the benefits of high volume and high variety and provides a strong competitive advantage by combining low costs with high revenue. It is a strategy which can be applied across all types of industries and in the private and public sector.<br/><br/>Author: Martin Sköld is a researcher at the Stockholm School of Economics and divides his time between academia and industry. Brought up in a family business and with fifteen years of management research in major international corporations, he has acquired unique competencies and extensive knowledge within his field. He is a very popular speaker for managers and leaders at all organizational levels.<br/><br/>Endorsements:<br/><br/>Martin describes the challenges we face daily.

<b>~ Do Fewer Things. <i>Work at a Natural Pace. Obsess over Quality</i>. ~ </b><br/><br/><b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Digital Minimalism</i> and <i>Deep Work</i>, a groundbreaking philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload</b> <br/><br/>Our current definition of "productivity" is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We're overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of  burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices? <br/><br/>Long before the arrival of pinging inboxes and clogged schedules, history's most creative and impactful philosophers, scientists, artists, and writers mastered the art of producing valuable work with staying power. In this timely and provocative book, Cal Newport harnesses the wisdom of these traditional knowledge workers to radically transform our modern jobs. Drawing from deep research on the habits and mindsets of a varied cast of storied thinkers - from Galileo and Isaac Newton, to Jane Austen and Georgia O'Keefe - Newport lays out the key principles of "slow productivity," a more sustainable alternative to the aimless overwhelm that defines our current moment. Combining cultural criticism with systematic pragmatism, Newport deconstructs the absurdities inherent in standard notions of productivity, and then provides step-by-step advice for cultivating a slower, more humane alternative.<br/><br/>From the aggressive rethinking of workload management, to introducing seasonal variation, to shifting your performance toward long-term quality, <i>Slow Productivity</i> provides a roadmap for escaping overload and arriving instead at a more timeless approach to pursuing meaningful accomplishment. The world of work is due for a new revolution. Slow productivity is exactly what we need.

<b><i>The new book by STEVEN BARTLETT: entrepreneur, podcaster and Dragon's Den star</i><br/><br/>This is not a book about business strategy.
