Book excerpt: Acclaimed by General (Retired) Stan McChrystal, operators from all tribes of the U.S. Special Operations community, and the Director of the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute, Always Endeavor was written with the primary purpose of guiding the systematic self-development of those individuals who are willing to sacrifice deeply and dedicate themselves to acquiring the full array of mindsets, attitudes, approaches, and cognitive and physical skillsets that the formations of U.S. special operations need as they select individuals from the general military population. However, it goes further than that: Always Endeavor stands as a developmental guide for all leaders."Probably not the book you are expecting. Battle-proven warrior Colin Greata has encased his fascinating experiences in a true tour de force guide to becoming the person and leader most of us aspire to be. Brilliant, captivating, and absolutely practical, Always Endeavor is a hip-pocket reference to life." -Stan McChrystal, General, United States Army, Retired From the Author: When it's time for special operators to fight, our tactics, shooting skills, and expression of fitness need to flow from us as naturally as breathing. As it turns out, we perform exquisitely in those critical but brief blips of time in our careers when we are actually engaged in a firefight. Everything else in this book is complementary to that primary purpose, but without sacrificing this most critical set of fighting skills, we engage the lessons of Always Endeavor so that we can be better in the fight and better in the diverse set of things we do throughout the other 99% of our careers. To put it another way, I fully acknowledge that a lot of this book doesn't sound like warrior stuff, but we do the analysis that I describe so that when it's time to start pulling triggers and one of our special operators steps onto a battlefield, the environment has fundamentally changed because we have set conditions to not enter into a fair fight, we achieve disproportionate effects, and we are as effective as possible. In case you're still not convinced that you need to think this way, I want to highlight that the reason this topic is so critical is that generations of special operators have been able to get away with our current ability to navigate complexity, but in the future we will not. I assure you that the tools of this book have always been important on a tactical, ground level, but they will be even more important for the next generation of operators than my generation in detecting and dismantling the strategies of our competitors. Further, my hope is that Always Endeavor will be a contribution to strength throughout our society. If you take out the SOF-specific skills from this framework and replace them with any industry-specific skills, this becomes a developmental guide for all leaders. Finally, if you think that this is going to be a series of war stories or a platform for self-glorification, then I'm sorry, but that is not at all the case; instead, Always Endeavor is a pure contribution to the development of American leaders and honors the secrecy and quiet, competent professionalism of U.S. Special Operators.

Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Who has the right to change the world forever? How will we live online? How do we find comfort in an increasingly isolated world? The Carls disappeared the same way they appeared, in an instant. While the robots were on Earth, they caused confusion and destruction with only their presence. Part of their maelstrom was the sudden viral fame and untimely death of April May: a young woman who stumbled into Carl’s path, giving them their name, becoming their advocate, and putting herself in the middle of an avalanche of conspiracy theories. Months later, April’s friends are trying to find their footing in a post-Carl world. Andy has picked up April’s mantle of fame, speaking at conferences and online; Maya, ravaged by grief, begins to follow a string of mysteries that she is convinced will lead her to April; and Miranda is contemplating defying her friends’ advice and pursuing a new scientific operation…one that might have repercussions beyond anyone’s comprehension. Just as it is starting to seem like the gang may never learn the real story behind the events that changed their lives forever, a series of clues arrive—mysterious books that seem to predict the future and control the actions of their readers—all of which seems to suggest that April could be very much alive. In the midst of the search for the truth and the search for April is a growing force, something that wants to capture our consciousness and even control our reality. A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor is the bold and brilliant follow-up to An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. It is a fast-paced adventure that is also a biting social commentary, asking hard, urgent questions about the way we live, our freedoms, our future, and how we handle the unknown.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller shows how God calls on each of us to express meaning and purpose through our work and careers. “A touchstone of the [new evangelical] movement.” —The New York Times Tim Keller, pastor of New York’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church and the New York Times bestselling author of The Reason for God, has taught and counseled students, young professionals, and senior leaders on the subject of work and calling for more than twenty years. Now he pulls his insights into a thoughtful and practical book for readers everywhere. With deep conviction and often surprising advice, Keller shows readers that biblical wisdom is immensely relevant to our questions about work today. In fact, the Christian view of work—that we work to serve others, not ourselves—can provide the foundation of a thriving professional and balanced personal life. Keller shows how excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity, and passion in the workplace can help others and even be considered acts of worship—not just of self-interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renowned leader in higher education provides “a testament to the power of aspiration, character and education to overcome poverty and adversity” (Michael L. Lomax, President & CEO, United Negro College Fund). Charlie Nelms had audaciously big dreams. Growing up black in the Deep South in the 1950s and 1960s, working in cotton fields, and living in poverty, Nelms dared to dream that he could do more with his life than work for white plantation owners sun-up to sun-down. Inspired by his parents, who first dared to dream that they could own their own land and have the right to vote, Nelms chose education as his weapon of choice for fighting racism and inequality. With hard work, determination, and the critical assistance of mentors who counseled him along the way, he found his way from the cotton fields of Arkansas to university leadership roles. Becoming the youngest and the first African American chancellor of a predominately white institution in Indiana, he faced tectonic changes in higher education during those ensuing decades of globalization, growing economic disparity, and political divisiveness. From Cotton Fields to University Leadership is an uplifting story about the power of education, the impact of community and mentorship, and the importance of dreaming big. “In his memoir, the realities of his life take on the qualities of a good docudrama, providing the back story to the development of a remarkable educational leader. His is ‘the examined life,’ filled with honesty, humor, and humility. While this is uniquely Charlie’s story, it is a story that will lift the hearts of many and inspire future generations of leaders.” —Betty J. Overton, Director, National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good
