In the spirit of The One Thing and Start with Why, this guide provides the “missing link” for entrepreneurs to generate fast, sustainable growth, get out of the weeds, and build their A-teams from the inside out.
Success in business today means responding to change at an ever-increasing pace—due to factors such as competition, evolving technology, and increasing client expectations. Delivering more value with fewer resources is the name of the game. But even when a business is winning, the leaders and teams playing the game often feel like they are losing—plagued by overwhelm and burnout. Most business books try to address this problem with systems, structures, and values. What’s missing? The “People Part”—the often-misunderstood area of a business where leaders and team members do the actual thinking, interacting, and performing together. Drawing on Annie’s 30 years of working with humans in business, this dynamic and engaging book—available in paperback for the first time—outlines seven easy-to-implement agreements to build a high-performance team.
You’ll learn how to:
• Lead in a way that supports others to perform at their best, by strengthening your own Self-Leadership
• Generate a leadership reputation where the best A Players seek to work with you, and stay for the long term
• Create psychological safety—the environment that empowers team members to collaborate at the highest levels
• Develop leaders and team members to take on responsibilities with the same commitment level as the owners
• Supercharge your team productivity
If you’re an entrepreneur just starting out…a CEO trying to get out of the weeds to work “on” rather than “in” your business…a leader needing a breakthrough for yourself and your team…or a team member wanting to make your best contribution yet… then The People Part is for you.
Food Journeys is a powerful collection that draws on personal experiences, and the meaning of grief, rage, solidarity, and life. Feminist anthropologist Dolly Kikon and peace researcher Joel Rodrigues present a wide-ranging set of stories and essays accompanied by recipes. They bring together poets, activists, artists, writers, and researchers who explore how food and eating allow us to find joy and strength while navigating a violent history of militarization in Northeast India. Food Journeys takes us to the tea plantations of Assam, the lofty mountains of Sikkim, the homes of a brewer and a baker in Nagaland, a chef’s journey from Meghalaya, a trip to the paddy fields in Bangladesh, and many more sites, to reveal why people from Northeast India intimately care about what they eat and consider food an integral part of their history, politics, and community. Deliciously feminist and bold, Food Journeys is both an invitation and a challenge to recognize gender and lived experiences as critical aspects of political life.

A little over five hundred years ago, a boy sat in a garden, waiting for his story to begin. His name was Babur, and he would soon found an empire that astonished the world.
For three hundred years, Babur’s sons and grandsons, alongside their mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters, would wage wars, make art and music, eat a delicious fruit or two, and both shape and be shaped by the land they made their home.
History would call them the Mughals. The Book of Emperors tells their stories.

We’re living in frenetic times. Amid the busyness and complexity, you may also feel directionless and overwhelmed. Maybe you know there’s more to life, but you have no idea what that “more” is. Maybe you sense there’s a message you need to hear, but the noise of everyday life is drowning it out.

In these pages, coach and healer Elaine Glass invites you to walk with her on the Get Quiet Way—a practice of healing and transformation inspired by the classical form of the labyrinth. You’ll follow seven circuits of reflection and discovery, each engaging an energy point on the body to awaken its particular power, until you reach a still point at the center—a sacred space where you can connect deeply with the truth of who you are. Finally, you’ll step back into the world feeling stronger and clearer, more at peace, and open to new possibilities for a life of purpose and joy.
