In 2006, while travelling in Argentina, young entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie encountered children too poor to afford shoes, who developed injuries on their feet that often led to serious health problems. Blake knew he wanted to help, but rather than start a charity, he went against conventional wisdom and created a for profit business to help the children who he met. With the help of a local shoemaker, Blake struck out to merge activism and fashion in the form of a local canvas shoe worn by farmers and gauchos alike, called the alpargata. Blake called his creation TOMS Shoes (which stands for "Tomorrow's Shoes") and promised to give a pair of new shoes to a child in need for every pair that he sold. Starting with only two hundred pairs of handmade shoes, optimism, and entrepreneurial charisma, Blake successfully launched TOMS into the high fashion world. They can now be seen adorning the feet of celebrities such as Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, and Tobey Maguire. Blake's mission is to prove that you can achieve financial success and make the world a better place at the same time. In this book, he shares the six counterintuitive principles that have guided the growth of TOMS for the past three years: Make business personal Be resourceful without resources Reverse retirement Keep it simple Stay humble Give more, advertise less The result is an inspiring account of a young man whose entrepreneurial spirit was able to affect change in the world, and a call to others to be inspired to do the same. As part of the One for One initiative, Random House will provide a new book to a child in need with every copy of Start Something That Matters purchased.

You work hard. You put in the hours. Yet you feel like you are constantly treading water with "Good Work" that keeps you going but never quite moves you ahead. Or worse, you are mired in "Bad Work"—endless meetings and energy-draining bureaucratic traps. Do More Great Work gets to the heart of the problem: Even the best performers are spending less than a fraction of their time doing "Great Work"—the kind of innovative work that pushes us forward, stretches our creativity, and truly satisfies us. Michael Bungay Stanier, Canadian Coach of the Year in 2006, is a business consultant who’s found a way to move us away from bad work (and even good work), and toward more time spent doing great work. When you’re up to your eyeballs answering e-mail, returning phone calls, attending meetings and scrambling to get that project done, you can turn to this inspirational, motivating, and at times playful book for invaluable guidance. In fifteen exercises, Do More Great Work shows how you can finally do more of the work that engages and challenges you, that has a real impact, that plays to your strengths—and that matters. The exercises are "maps"—brilliantly simple visual tools that help you find, start and sustain Great Work, revealing how to: Find clues to your own Great Work—they’re all around you Locate the sweet spot between what you want to do and what your organization wants you to do Generate new ideas and possibilities quickly Best manage your overwhelming workload Double the likelihood that you’ll do what you want to do All it takes is ten minutes a day, a pencil and a willingness to change. Do More Great Work will not only help you identify what the Great Work of your life is, it will tell you how to do it.

The inspiring, life-changing bestseller by the author of LEADERS EAT LAST and TOGETHER IS BETTER In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who have watched his TED Talk based on Start With Why -- the third most popular TED video of all time. Sinek opens by asking some fundamental questions: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? Start With Why shows that the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world--think Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers--all think, act, and communicate the same way -- and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea 'The Golden Circle,' and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

From the New York Times bestselling authors of Sprint comes “a unique and engaging read about a proven habit framework [that] readers can apply to each day” (Insider, Best Books to Form New Habits). “If you want to achieve more (without going nuts), read this book.”—Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, "The best way to spend this time is by cramming it full of meetings!" or got to work in the morning and thought, Today I'll spend hours on Facebook! Yet that's exactly what we do. Why? In a world where information refreshes endlessly and the workday feels like a race to react to other people's priorities faster, frazzled and distracted has become our default position. But what if the exhaustion of constant busyness wasn't mandatory? What if you could step off the hamster wheel and start taking control of your time and attention? That's what this book is about. As creators of Google Ventures' renowned "design sprint," Jake and John have helped hundreds of teams solve important problems by changing how they work. Building on the success of these sprints and their experience designing ubiquitous tech products from Gmail to YouTube, they spent years experimenting with their own habits and routines, looking for ways to help people optimize their energy, focus, and time. Now they've packaged the most effective tactics into a four-step daily framework that anyone can use to systematically design their days. Make Time is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, it offers a customizable menu of bite-size tips and strategies that can be tailored to individual habits and lifestyles. Make Time isn't about productivity, or checking off more to-dos. Nor does it propose unrealistic solutions like throwing out your smartphone or swearing off social media. Making time isn't about radically overhauling your lifestyle; it's about making small shifts in your environment to liberate yourself from constant busyness and distraction. A must-read for anyone who has ever thought, If only there were more hours in the day..., Make Time will help you stop passively reacting to the demands of the modern world and start intentionally making time for the things that matter.

From the national bestselling author of Becoming Your Best, time management tools that help minimize distraction and maximize accomplishment. In researching more than 1,260 managers and executives from more than 108 different organizations, Steve and Rob Shallenberger discovered that sixty-eight percent of them feel like their number one challenge is time management, yet eight percent don't have a clear process for how to prioritize their time. Drawing on the authors’ forty years of leadership research, Do What Matters Most reveals how developing a written personal vision, identifying and setting Roles and Goals, and doing Pre-week Planning can increase productivity by at least thirty to fifty percent. For organizations, this means higher profits, happier employees, and increased innovation. For individuals, it means better physical and mental health, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of peace and balance. You will learn how acquiring this skillset turned an “average” employee into her company's top producer, enabled a senior vice president to reignite his team and achieve record results, transformed a stressed-out manager's work and home life, and much more. By implementing these simple and easy-to-understand habits, you will learn how to lead a life by design, not by default. You'll feel the power that comes with a sense of control, direction, and purpose. “The most impactful leadership book I’ve ever read.” —Mike Choutka, President & CEO of Hensel Phelps “This book helped me improve my focus on what matters most by showing me how to schedule my priorities instead of prioritizing my schedule.”—Michelle Friesenhahn, Global SVP Human Resources, Ultra

Mais um romance de sucesso. Verity é perturbador, arrepiante e inesperado. Uma experiência inesquecível. Lowen Ashleigh é uma escritora que se debate com grandes dificuldades financeiras, até que aceita uma oferta de trabalho irrecusável: terminar os três últimos volumes da série de sucesso de Verity Crawford, uma autora de renome que ficou incapacitada depois de um terrível acidente. Para poder entrar na cabeça de Verity e estudar as anotações e ideias reunidas ao longo de anos de trabalho, Lowen aceita o convite de Jeremy Crawford, marido da autora, e muda-se temporariamente para a casa deles. Mas o que ela não esperava encontrar no caótico escritório de Verity era a autobiografia inacabada da autora. Ao lê-la, percebe que esta não se destinava a ser partilhada com ninguém. São páginas e páginas de confissões arrepiantes, incluindo as memórias de Verity relativas ao dia da morte da filha. Lowen decide ocultar de Jeremy a existência do manuscrito, sabendo que o seu conteúdo destroçaria aquele pai, já em tão grande sofrimento. Mas, à medida que os sentimentos de Lowen por Jeremy se intensificam, ela apercebe-se de que talvez seja melhor ele ler as palavras escritas por Verity. Afinal de contas, por mais dedicado que Jeremy seja à sua mulher doente, uma verdade tão horrenda faria com que fosse impossível ele continuar a amá-la. Os elogios da crítica: «Aviso: Verity não vai derreter-lhe o coração... Vai incendiar-lhe a alma.» - Kindle Crack Book Reviews «Isto não é um livro, é uma experiência visceral!» - B. B. Easton, autora bestseller
