Book Description
“An important reminder of simple everyday practices to improve how we all work together, which will lead to greater team and individual happiness and performance. Great results will follow.”—Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and Square “With just 30 changes, you can transform your work experience from bland and boring (or worse) to fulfilling, fun, and even joyful.”—Daniel Pink, author of When and Drive The vice president of Twitter Europe and host of the top business podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat offers thirty smart, research-based hacks for bringing joy and fun back into our burned out, uninspired work lives. How does a lunch break spark a burst of productivity? Can a team’s performance be improved simply by moving the location of the coffee maker? Why are meetings so often a waste of time, and how can a walking meeting actually get decisions made? As an executive with decades of management experience at top Silicon Valley companies including YouTube, Google, and Twitter, Bruce Daisley has given a lot of thought to what makes a workforce productive and what factors can improve the workplace to benefit a company’s employees, customers, and bottom line. In his debut book, he shares what he’s discovered, offering practical, often counterintuitive, insights and solutions for reinvigorating work to give us more meaning, productivity, and joy at the office. A Gallup survey of global workers revealed shocking news: only 13% of employees are engaged in their jobs. This means that burn out and unhappiness at work are a reality for the vast majority of workers. Managers—and employees themselves—can make work better. Eat Sleep Work Repeat shows them how, offering more than two dozen research-backed, user-friendly strategies, including: Go to Lunch (it makes you less tired over the weekend) Suggest a Tea Break (it increases team cohesiveness and productivity) Conduct a Pre-Mortem (foreseeing possible issues can prevent problems and creates a spirit of curiosity and inquisitiveness) “Let’s start enjoying our jobs again,” Daisley insists. “It’s time to rediscover the joy of work.”

Book Description
Winner of the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry 'This book should be required reading for anyone thinking of having a baby, or even anyone who knows someone who is thinking of having a baby' Scotland on Sunday 'Fascinating and honest' Mumsnet 'Like talking to a friend' Observer There were many things that Hollie McNish didn't know before she was pregnant. How her family and friends would react; that Mr Whippy would be off the menu; how quickly ice can melt on a stomach. These were on top of the many other things she didn't know about babies: how to stand while holding one; how to do a poetry gig with your baby as an audience member; how drum'n'bass can make a great lullaby. And that's before you even start on toddlers. But Hollie learned. And she's still learning, slowly. Nobody Told Me is a collection of poems and stories; Hollie's thoughts on raising a child in modern Britain, of trying to become a parent in modern Britain, of sex, commercialism, feeding, gender and of finding secret places to scream once in a while.

Ghost in the Machine
Author: Marcus Whitnell
Publisher: Angry Android
ISBN: 1739527305
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
A neural chip capable of digitising the human consciousness? Technological immortality? Of course governments and big business will kill for that! If you're a fan of original cyberpunk and loved the books of William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams, Philip K Dick and Rudy Rucker. Or if you're into modern variations by authors like Blake Crouch, Neal Asher and Daniel Suarez — this tense, action-packed technothriller IS FOR YOU! Set in a worryingly foreseeable near-future where the gap between rich and poor continues to grow and big business has de facto control over much of the planet, not everything is as it seems after China attempts to steal the prototype of a groundbreaking neural implant. Humanity and technology are on a collision course, and as killers and thieves chase wetware engineer, Eric Thorne, through both physical and digital realities, the greed and ambition of two men will change the world forever. Ghost in the Machine is the first in a series of books that follow humanity from a broadly recognisable present into a bleak, yet disturbingly predictable, future. Presented as techno-thrillers through a cyber/biopunk lens, each book in 'The Sum of our Parts' chronicles the convergence of, and inevitable conflict arising from, inherent human characteristics with a rapidly growing pandora's box of technology — exploring how ever-present issues like poverty, greed and control mix with and react to new ones such as transhumanism, the rights of sentient, autonomous entities, and the consequences of digital immortality. ***What other readers are saying*** Technothriller / Tech Noir / Cyberpunk ... Fabulous Set in a near future I think we can all see coming, where huge corporations control everything we see (and therefore believe), and government is little more than a thin veneer covering individual ambitions and dynasties - this book does a masterful job of painting a picture of what happens when someone says 'No.' But there's much, much more to the stories woven into the pages than that: an android reaching autonomy, a washed up intelligence operative reaching the end of his tether, the morality of technological enhancement, transhumanism ... the list goes on, and the author does a brilliant job of drawing them all together in a rather satisfying finale!” Couldn't put it down!!! Really great plot, couldn't stop reading, plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing followed up by a superb ending which did not disappoint. What a cracking good read Ghost in the Machine is a brutally close approximation to where many of us feel society is currently heading: corporate fatcats dictating what we see and don't see, government a sad reflection of democracy - and a world changing to fast, and all for the worse.
