<b>Who really rules our future? </b><br/><br/>When Silicon Valley says it is 'moving fast and breaking things', the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. Gil Duran reveals something far more sinister: a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule.<br/><br/>Drawing on insider political experience and new investigations, Duran traces this ideology from its philosophical roots in <i>The Sovereign Individual</i> by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg. He introduces its modern apostles - Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Balaji Srinivasan and Elon Musk - and shows how the promise of technological liberation has transformed into a global movement for digital feudalism, powered by cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence and the algorithmic propaganda of social media.<br/><br/><i>The Nerd Reich</i> explains the origins, strategies and ambitions of Silicon Valley's war on democracy for the first time. From San Francisco's manipulated elections and secret billionaire projects to the corridors of Downing Street and the White House, Duran exposes how the world's richest men are building a new political order.

Learn how to successfully form closer connections to your children, with effective boundaries, so the whole family can thrive. <br/><br/>Dr Siggie has witnessed firsthand how the parenting pendulum has swung from overly strict to overly permissive. Parents often try to take both approaches and end up zigzagging between extremes, creating a power shift that has caused many to lose their grounding. This is part of a pattern she calls 'the over'. Overaccommodating, overexplaining, overfixing, overnegotiating, and even overempathizing have become the new normal, leaving little room for coping, resilience and functionality. <br/><br/><em>You Are the Parent </em>is a reminder that children need their parents alongside them, helping them find and develop their inner skills to face and manage their inner and outer challenges. The key to this is creating safe parameters for children to practise challenges, not avoid them altogether. <br/><br/>Dr Siggie, leading child behavioural and developmental specialist, shares parenting tools that grow alongside your child over the formative years of ages two to seven. She sets her six principles of emotional/behavioural processing, with real-life examples, sample scripts and easy, practical advice on how to apply the highly impactful principles to your parenting style.

<b>Leadership lessons from Captain Sandy Yawn, a renowned superyacht captain with over 30 years of international maritime experience, and star of the reality show <i>Below Deck Mediterranean</i>.</b><br/><br/>Everyone experiences a moment in life when they need to lead. Sometimes it's a team, sometimes it's a company, a classroom, a patient ward, a family, or simply your own individual self. Based on the leadership lessons she's gathered from her resourceful and resilient life, Captain Sandy, a superyacht captain and star of Bravo's <i>Below Deck Mediterranean</i>, shares the leadership skills and critical thinking inherent to being a captain that can empower anyone to navigate their way to a successful life.<br/><br/>Among some of the stories/lessons she'll share:<br/><br/>- How she selects and sizes up her crew even before embarking on a charter, deciding who to invest in and how to bring out their best.<br/>- Things happen at sea. No matter how much you plan and train, so much can go wrong so she'll discuss the level of persistence and faith that's required in solving an especially knotty problem.<br/>- Authority and discipline are required to lead, but they must be leavened with compassion, understanding, and a desire to see your crew succeed.<br/>- She describes the seamless flow that happens in great teamwork and how she loves seeing the way her deckhands pitch in with the stews when needed. For Captain Sandy, this represents leading with empathy, figuring out who your teammates are and what motivates them, then communicating in a way that motivates and makes them feel understood.<br/>- As a captain, Sandy is constantly upgrading her knowledge and skill set, which is as much a part of her job as steering a vessel. Sustaining excellence requires constant effort, whether you find yourself at the end of a journey, halfway through or at the start of a new one. And the learning never stops.<br/><br/>Woven throughout her stories are Captain Sandy's optimism and abiding faith that, given the right tools and opportunities, individuals are capable of so much more than they realize, especially when they can find someone to believe in them.
