Overview

Actor-producer Christina Applegate has been onscreen since she was 1 year old (in Days of Our Lives, of course). The Emmy winner’s most recent role as co-star in the exceptional tragicomedy Dead to Me showed her astonishing range, but by the series finale, Applegate had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Applegate has always kept it real, and her memoir will “dive into the darker moments underpinning her outward success.” Credit: You with the Sad Eyes; BookPage.

Humor Me By Chris Duffy

A sense of humor is often the missing piece in what we struggle with these days (personally, professionally, politically, even globally). In HUMOR ME, Chris Duffy sets out to investigate how to make things fun and funny again. He interviewed psychologists, neuroscientists, a Navy SEAL, a Parisian-trained clown, a woman who runs a nursing home in Hong Kong, famous comedians, extremely not famous comedians, a 10-year-old food critic, and a 104-year-old world champion swimmer.

The result is HUMOR ME—a book about how to laugh more every day and how a sense of humor can help you make friends, be healthier physically and mentally, be more creative, and get through hard times. Credit: Chris Duffy Comedy.

The Octopus Organization

Overview

Large-scale organizational transformations usually don’t work. What originally starts as a way of improving an organization becomes an all-consuming distraction, a value-destroying set of activities that, even as it becomes clear they will fail, must be completed at any cost. But there is a better way: becoming an Octopus Organization.

The octopus is everything you need your organization to be in these turbulent times: extremely smart, endlessly adaptable, and highly resilient. Its eight arms work beautifully in concert, but crucially, each arm can think for itself if it needs to work independently. Your organization can work as intelligently and as beautifully as these amazing creatures, if you change your operating model. Credit: The Octopus Organization.
