In the world of personal growth, you’re told to pick a side: be a hard-charging, type A ambitious hustler or a grounded, spiritually inclined seeker—but what if that’s wrong? If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to find that sweet spot between a Hustler’s work ethic and a Seeker’s focus on self-care and fulfillment—you’re not alone. If you’re hustling, you’re not seeking, and if you’re seeking, you’re not hustling. We’re told it isn’t possible to chase our dreams while achieving the peace we crave. But, that’s a lie. Discover the life-changing truth in this dynamic guide from Tommy Baker designed to help you: Merge ‘doing’ and ‘being’ in life and business Know exactly when to step on the gas or let go Be grateful for what you have while wanting more Best of all, you’ll avoid the perils of too much hustle leading to a “never enough” mentality—or too much seeking that results in regurgitating principles of an actualized life...with little results. Written with eye-opening candor by the host of the popular podcast, Resist Average Academy, Hustlers & Seekers reveals the key to achieving mind-blowing progress and fulfillment comes from knowing when to charge ahead, and when to step back—not with “balance.” You’ll learn to operate in cyclical seasons—sometimes a hustler, sometimes a seeker—allowing you to go all-out, and find downtime to incubate future dreams. Hustlers & Seekers will open your eyes to a new way of approaching life and work without FOMO or thinking everyone has it figured out...except you.

Through powerful case studies of notable corporations like Intuit, 3M, Cargill, and more, Cooper demonstrates how, with the right mindset and practical strategies, companies that focus on creating value for customers can thrive in the 21st century. Disruption Proof provides readers with detailed methods for progressing through four stages of implementation to embrace a new way of working company-wide, including how to: develop an understanding of customers and colleagues that lead to insights (empathy) run tests to challenge assumptions (exploration) leverage data and insights to breakthrough biases (evidence) balance operational execution with learning (equilibrium) manage behavior to match corporate values (ethics) By adopting these 5Es, company leaders can empower employees to become creative problem solvers, ensuring their company’s ability to navigate moments of crisis and find transformative opportunities. Cooper explains how reimagining work at every level is the key to organic and sustainable growth, and guides leaders to create lasting value in the world. With Cooper's action-oriented advice and tools, anyone can help steer their company towards durable success.

If you answered yes, say hello to Unresolution - a proven system designed to help you break through and achieve the life of your dreams without spending any more time sitting on the sidelines hoping and wishing for something better.

Each year, people watch their self-confidence evaporate because they fell short of their dreams -one more time- - they lose the belief they can make life different, creating a vicious cycle that leads nowhere, fast. How about a better way? Would you like to: -Choose to step into greatness and move forward, regardless of the time in your life; -Strategically design a life on fire, with the purpose, people, places and environments you love; -Achieve your dream results - feeling invigorated and alive; and, -Defeat fear, self-doubt and insecurity, burning them as fuel for your success? Welcome to UnResolution, your new life awaits. Standing on an icy cold football field in January of 2015, Tommy Baker made a decision and uncovered a startling discovery that led him to create a new life, ripping out everything he had known and believed in the process. Through this experience (and the subsequent launch of a platform sharing the principles of success, achievement and fulfillment of the world's top visionaries, athletes and entrepreneurs) - a new paradigm was born.

It's not capitalism, it's not neoliberalism - what if it's something worse? In this radical and visionary new book, McKenzie Wark argues that information has empowered a new kind of ruling class. Through the ownership and control of information, this emergent class dominates not only labour but capital as traditionally understood as well. And it’s not just tech companies like Amazon and Google. Even Walmart and Nike can now dominate the entire production chain through the ownership of not much more than brands, patents, copyrights, and logistical systems. While techno-utopian apologists still celebrate these innovations as an improvement on capitalism, for workers—and the planet—it’s worse. The new ruling class uses the powers of information to route around any obstacle labor and social movements put up. So how do we find a way out? Capital Is Dead offers not only the theoretical tools to analyze this new world, but ways to change it. Drawing on the writings of a surprising range of classic and contemporary theorists, Wark offers an illuminating overview of the contemporary condition and the emerging class forces that control—and contest—it.
