In this ground-breaking book, pre-eminent thought leader in the fields of sustainability and flourishing, John R. Ehrenfeld, critiques the concept of sustainability as it is understood today and which is coming more and more under attack as unclear and ineffective as a call for action. Building upon the recent work of cognitive scientist, Iain McGilchrist, who argues that the human brain’s two hemispheres present distinct different worlds, this book articulates how society must replace the current foundational left-brain-based beliefs – a mechanistic world and a human driven by self interest – with new ones based on complexity and care. Flourishing should replace the lifeless metrics now being used to guide business and government, as well as individuals. Until we accept that our modern belief structure is, itself, the barrier, we will continue to be mired in an endless succession of unsolved problems.

In Flourish, award-winning CEO Dr. Rachel Talton takes women leaders on a powerful journey toward having it all without sacrificing their authentic selves. Compelling personal stories, rigorous research and experiential exercises help successful women stop hiding fear, guilt and overwhelm behind their Golden Masks, giving them a specific strategy to flourish. Redefining success with integrity to themselves with purpose, connection, contribution and legacy. Women leaders are often torn between seeking success, influence, impact and contribution in their organizations and the marketplace, and having a thriving family and personal life. They find that their desire to contribute professionally and personally often relegates a back seat to self-care, self-worth and wellbeing. In fact, the data show that many women who attain one or two of the traditional metrics of success find themselves sorely lacking in others, and often suffering in silence beneath a beautiful suit, great shoes, powerful title and the shiny, meticulously applied Golden Mask. Dr. Rachel builds upon years of executive experience, organizational and consumer research and expertise guiding Fortune 500 organizations and leaders to craft a powerfully practical guide to flourishing. She tells her own story and the stories of other women leaders who inspire as they turn sometimes tragic life events into triumphs. Through this book, Dr. Rachel takes readers on an experiential journey through the six dimensions of their lives to flourish - to grow luxuriantly and to prosper. As organizations desperately seek to reconcile stark data that reveal women in senior leadership provides a significant competitive advantage. For example, research shows that women leaders help companies outperform competitors by up to 26% in revenues, boards with three women have 66% higher ROI, 53% higher ROE and 42% higher ROS. However, only 4.6% of S&P 500 CEOs are women. Even knowing what we know today, women are still paid only 78 cents for every U.S. dollar men make. Women CEOs make about 11.5% less than their male counterparts. And at the current rate of progression, women won't reach pay equity with men until 2058. In Flourish, Dr. Rachel Talton helps women leaders peer beneath the Golden Mask to reveal their authentic selves and redefine the traditional metrics of success in order to flourish - leveraging the six currencies of purpose, joy, meaning, service, accomplishment and legacy. Leveraging scientific research in psychology, behavioral economics, and management theory, Dr. Rachel reveals the practical Flourish Model of Success while sharing inspiring stories of resilience, courage and transformation. Using a six-dimensional model of Success, Self-Care, Synergy, Spirit, Service and Legacy, Flourish helps women navigate, integrate and reshape their own futures, shattering old paradigms and creating their own sense of self-worth, self-value and contribution. Using interactive exercises to close the gap between their aspirations to flourish and the current state of wellbeing across each dimension, readers leave the Flourish experience with a dynamic path forward. By seamlessly integrating the six dimensions of flourishing and focusing on what matters most, women can flourish and have it all. And they can do so without losing themselves.

Never before have the pressures of a comparative and competitive world impacted on our sense of wellbeing, particularly among young adults. Building on the principles of Giving Voice to Values, which honors the complexity and difficulty of leading with our values, this book addresses the unique challenges faced by young adults. It provides a clear process that details how to harness natural wisdom to flourish through the relentless pace and pressure of today’s world. Moving beyond mere values clarification, Authentic Excellence helps the reader to develop a deeper relationship with their values and confidently express them, and builds effective coping skills to manage the relentless noise of our comparative and competitive world. Authentic Excellence answers five primary questions: How are young adults affected by this world of relentless change and pressure? Why are young adults vulnerable to a plateau that can negatively affect their resilience? What is the difference between fear-based excellence and authentic excellence and what role do values play in this distinction? What is necessary to move beyond fear-based excellence and why is it so hard? How do you train a deeper level of effectiveness that includes more consistent productivity, fulfillment and resilience?

In his 2010 book What Is a Person?, Christian Smith argued that sociology had for too long neglected this fundamental question. Prevailing social theories, he wrote, do not adequately “capture our deep subjective experience as persons, crucial dimensions of the richness of our own lived lives, what thinkers in previous ages might have called our ‘souls’ or ‘hearts.’” Building on Smith’s previous work, To Flourish or Destruct examines the motivations intrinsic to this subjective experience: Why do people do what they do? How can we explain the activity that gives rise to all human social life and social structures? Smith argues that our actions stem from a motivation to realize what he calls natural human goods: ends that are, by nature, constitutionally good for all human beings. He goes on to explore the ways we can and do fail to realize these ends—a failure that can result in varying gradations of evil. Rooted in critical realism and informed by work in philosophy, psychology, and other fields, Smith’s ambitious book situates the idea of personhood at the center of our attempts to understand how we might shape good human lives and societies.
