Book Description
From esteemed journalist Joshua Leifer, a definitive look at the history and future of American Jewish identity and community from the tipping point we are living in. Tablets Shattered is Joshua Leifer’s lively and personal history of the fractured American Jewish present. Formed in the middle decades of the twentieth century, the settled-upon pillars of American Jewish self-definition (Americanism, Zionism, and liberalism) have begun to collapse. The binding trauma of Holocaust memory grows ever-more attenuated; soon there will be no living survivors. After two millennia of Jewish life defined by diasporic existence, the majority of the world’s Jews will live in a sovereign Jewish state by 2050. Against the backdrop of national political crises, resurgent global antisemitism, and the horrors of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Leifer provides an illuminating and meticulously reported map of contemporary Jewish life and a sober conjecture about its future. Leifer begins with the history of Jewish immigrants in America, starting with the arrival of his great-grandmother Bessie from a shtetl in Belarus and following each subsequent generation as it conformed to the prevailing codes of American Jewish life. He then reports on the state of today’s burning Jewish issues. We meet millennial Jewish racial justice organizers, Orthodox political activists, young liberal rabbis looking to “queer” the Torah through exegesis, Haredi men learning full-time at the world’s largest yeshiva, progressive anti-Zionists attempting to separate Judaism from nationalism, and right-wing Israeli public intellectuals beginning to imagine a future without American Jews. As it traverses today’s Jewish landscape through uncommon personal familiarity with the widest range of Jewish experience, Tablets Shattered also charts the universal quest to build enduring communities amid historical and political rupture.

Book Description
Companies rarely track their performance against long-term plans, and results often fail to meet projections. When companies do track performance, it seldom matches the prior year’s projection, and a great deal of value is lost in translation. This new title in The Economist series shows how businesses can overcome such failings and implement strategy effectively, using facts and anecdotal evidence from the real experiences of firms.

Book Description
Why is the West so confused and lacking in direction? Why does society appear to value groupthink over personal insight? And why has ideology won the battle against ideas? We are living in a time of momentous change. A political, economic, health, social, AI and media revolution has taken place whilst we have been distracted by ideologically driven narratives and the unhealthy and immoral products of multi-billion-pound corporations. How and why has society become so enslaved to government, media and pharmacological cartelism, what dangers does this pose and what can we do about it? Rather than theorise on who may be pulling the strings of society and orchestrating the current vast hysteria, The Imperfect Individual focusses on individual and societal behaviour. It explores why it has been so easy to manipulate people into a certain way of thinking and behaving and why Western populations are largely so thoughtlessly obedient and conformist. The book clearly paints a picture of a Western world in disarray but also strikes an incredibly optimistic tone about the future if enough people understand the critical importance of reasserting themselves as true stakeholders in their own societies by pursuing values such as courage, truth, authenticity, open-mindedness and freedom.

Book Description
In the 1960s, as illegal drug use grew from a fringe issue to a pervasive public concern, a new industry arose to treat the addiction epidemic. Over the next five decades, the industry's leaders promised to rehabilitate the casualties of the drug culture even as incarceration rates for drug-related offenses climbed. In this history of addiction treatment, Claire D. Clark traces the political shift from the radical communitarianism of the 1960s to the conservatism of the Reagan era, uncovering the forgotten origins of today's recovery movement. Based on extensive interviews with drug-rehabilitation professionals and archival research, The Recovery Revolution locates the history of treatment activists' influence on the development of American drug policy. Synanon, a controversial drug-treatment program launched in California in 1958, emphasized a community-based approach to rehabilitation. Its associates helped develop the therapeutic community (TC) model, which encouraged peer confrontation as a path to recovery. As TC treatment pioneers made mutual aid profitable, the model attracted powerful supporters and spread rapidly throughout the country. The TC approach was supported as part of the Nixon administration's "law-and-order" policies, favored in the Reagan administration's antidrug campaigns, and remained relevant amid the turbulent drug policies of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. While many contemporary critics characterize American drug policy as simply the expression of moralizing conservatism or a mask for racial oppression, Clark recounts the complicated legacy of the "ex-addict" activists who turned drug treatment into both a product and a political symbol that promoted the impossible dream of a drug-free America.

Book Description
Online personal branding is a requirement for all professionals. The common argument of the experts is: you have a digital footprint - in social media and on the internet - so people are already making impressions of you. Take control of their perceptions. More importantly, you have an opportunity to proactively project your personal brand onto networks. Two other advantages of personal branding are that it forces you to be visionary of your career goals and helps you land favorable employment. This books shares a functional angle to personal branding that is refreshingly simpler than the traditional marketing angle. The definition of an online personal brand is the combination of a skill set, an aura, and an identity, and there is discussion where the concepts overlap.
