A fascinating look into the business and lifestyle philosophy of Jason Kingsley OBE, CEO of Rebellion. Rebellion is one of the world's most successful independent games developers and also a film and TV production company and publisher. Combining his love of Medieval History and success in business, this unique book will give insight into a modern interpretation of the Knightly Code of Chivalry, the moral system which combined a warrior ethos, knightly piety, and courtly manners, all combining to establish a notion of honour and nobility, in a motivational and aspirational take on how to live life to the fullest. Each chapter will focus on one main chivalric theme, and how it has influenced his philosophy, helped equip him with personal tools to succeed, and how it has maximised his work-life balance. The book will also provide insight into his love for the medieval period and how this complements his professional life.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, a call to break through our limits and say yes to a life of infinite possibility.You may know Emmanuel Acho as the host of groundbreaking video series “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.” Or as a New York Times bestselling author. Or as an Emmy-winning television broadcaster. Or as a former linebacker for two NFL franchises.What you probably don’t know is that Emmanuel defines his own life with just one word: Illogical.Behind every triumph, every expression of his gifts, Acho has had to ignore what everyone around him called “logic”: the astronomical odds against making it, the risks of continuing to dream bigger or differently. Instead of playing it safe, at every turn Acho has thrown conventional wisdom―logic―out the window. Now, in this revelatory book, he’s empowering us all to do the same.Whether it’s creating the next groundbreaking startup, fighting for change as an activist, o

我們在生活中面臨諸多不確定因素和艱難決策，隨時換工作，隨時搬家，隨時升職……但無論是自由職業者還是大型企業員工，無論是已婚還是單身，我們都必須能夠獨立思考，評估風險和機會，並學會與他人合作、共擔責任。 作者諾姆·沃瑟曼從“預想改變”和“管理改變”兩個維度，詳細分析了個人生活挑戰與創業挑戰的相似之處。書中結合大量的實際案例提出了優秀創業者的四大思維邏輯：控制熱情，保持興奮；成有所獲，敗有所得；反思舊做法，建立新思維；抵抗平均，長遠考慮。這些創業者的智慧和思維可用於管理個人在職場、家庭、人際、生活和教育中的表現，平衡理想與情感，不被短期利益誘惑，從而更好地制定決策、解決問題、處理關係，以期在個人生活和職業生涯中實現向好發展。 這本書適用於任何一個希望正確應對不確定、實現人生進階和思維提升的大眾讀者，通過閱讀這本書，你會明白自己是否應該行動以及如何行動，踐行自己的創變思維，做人生的“創業者”。
