Know yourself, know your team, solve your challenge.
You want to lead a good team—a team that gets results, a team you look forward to working with every day.
But many leaders are surprised to find themselves bogged down by people problems. They can’t get people to row in the same direction—or row at all. They have a nagging sense that the team isn’t reaching its full potential.
This book is a primer for busy leaders who want actionable ways to build a better team with the people they have. Sarah Thurber and Blair Miller combine their decades of team-building experience with research from the fields of cognitive diversity and creative problem solving to help people lead teams that collaborate, innovate, and get results.
Their advice? If you want to lead a good team, don’t follow your instincts. Follow the science.
Built on research from their popular FourSight® system—used by Nike, NASA, and Navy SEALs—Good Team, Bad Team examines over 6 million data points on why people solve the same problem so differently. The data reveals unconscious problem-solving patterns which, left unmanaged, can cause conflict and stall progress. Once understood, they can help diverse thinkers achieve extraordinary results.
Good Team, Bad Team is the must-read leadership toolkit for leaders who want their people to take on big challenges—together.
An innovative somatic and attachment-based treatment for working with children and adolescents who suffer from complex trauma and neglect
'[This] is a ground-breaking new approach to treating traumatized children, based on the combination of keen clinical observation, sensory integration, and a deep understanding of the latest advances in the neuroscience of trauma.'-Bessel van der Kolk, MD, best-selling author of The Body Keeps the Score
The SMART (Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment) program addresses three key processes that can be derailed by developmental trauma--somatic regulation, trauma processing, and attachment-building--and uses movement and sensation to target the neurological structures that support emotional and behavioral regulation. Transforming Trauma in Children and Adolescents teaches therapists the eight key skills required for SMART mastery and provides seven regulation tools for clients, helping children and adolescents manage their feelings and attend to developmental tasks like making friends, participating at school, learning to play with others, and developing a sense of self that includes--but isn't defined by--the trauma they've experienced. Enriched with case studies and recommended adaptations, the book includes resources for parents and other caregivers who want to provide ongoing supportive care outside the clinical setting.

At a time when AI and digital platforms are under fire, Orly Lobel, a renowned tech policy scholar, defends technology as a powerful tool we can harness to achieve equality and a better future.
Much has been written about the challenges tech presents to equality and democracy. But we can either criticize big data and automation or steer it to do better. Lobel makes a compelling argument that while we cannot stop technological development, we can direct its course according to our most fundamental values.
With provocative insights in every chapter, Lobel masterfully shows that digital technology frequently has a comparative advantage over humans in detecting discrimination, correcting historical exclusions, subverting long-standing stereotypes, and addressing the world's thorniest problems: climate, poverty, injustice, literacy, accessibility, speech, health, and safety.
Lobel's vivid examples-from labor markets to dating markets-provide powerful evidence for how we can harness technology for good. The book's incisive analysis and elegant storytelling will change the debate about technology and restore human agency over our values.
What if everything we thought we knew about depression-and how to heal from it-was wrong?
Many antidepressants-the first line in our standard of care for treating depression-bring with them potential health risks, yet 1 in 6 Americans takes medication to alleviate feeling sad, anxious, stuck, or unable to focus or sleep. More and more, conventional medicine pathologizes how we respond to life's challenges-like feeling trapped in an unfulfilling job, grieving the death of a loved one, or being anxious about a bad relationship-telling us that they're symptoms of disease.
Psychiatrist Jodie Skillicorn presents a new path, debunking the myth of the neurochemical imbalance and exploring the roots of depression, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poorly managed day-to-day stress. Evidence-based and fully supported by current depression research, Dr. Skillicorn's holistic methods for beating depression-including nutrition, mindfulness, fostering meaningful connections, exercise, sleep, nature, and breathwork-empower readers to become agents of their own wholeness and healing.
