#NewReleases | Building the life you want, a new framework for resolving today’s most intractable disagreements, and how artificial intelligence is shaping our individual lives and society—the four books we're highlighting this week help prepare us for the future and remind us that we still have agency in how it is shaped. All four are available online and hitting bookshop shelves today. → THE COMEBACK ERA: FROM LIMITING BELIEFS TO LIVING WITHOUT LIMITS by Yasmine Cheyenne, published by HarperOne → THE FUTURE OF TRUTH: HOW AI RESHAPES REALITY by Steven Rosenbaum, published by Matt Holt Books → I AM NOT A ROBOT: MY YEAR USING AI TO DO (ALMOST) EVERYTHING by Joanna Stern, published by Harper → MORAL ECONOMICS: FROM PROSTITUTION TO ORGAN SALES, WHAT CONTROVERSIAL TRANSACTIONS REVEAL ABOUT HOW MARKETS WORK by Alvin E.

We just took a deep [space] dive into Mission Ready by planetary scientist and NASA rockstar Lindy Elkins-Tanton, PhD. As the PI for the @missiontopsyche , @ltelkins shares an insider’s look at what it takes to lead effective teams through everything from issues with spacecraft thrusters to issues with Earth toilets. It’s a page-turner of a treatise on leadership that we highly recommend for high-achieving high schoolers, college students, or anyone curious about what makes NASA leaders tick. Mission Ready is out now from @basic_venture ! #womeninSTEM #MissionReady #leadersoftomorrow #teamwork Learn more about Mission Ready in the link in bio!
