Why does modern life revolve around objectives? From how science is funded, to improving how children are educated -- and nearly everything in-between -- our society has become obsessed with a seductive illusion: that greatness results from doggedly measuring improvement in the relentless pursuit of an ambitious goal. In Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned, Stanley and Lehman begin with a surprising scientific discovery in artificial intelligence that leads ultimately to the conclusion that the objective obsession has gone too far. They make the case that great achievement can't be bottled up into mechanical metrics; that innovation is not driven by narrowly focused heroic effort; and that we would be wiser (and the outcomes better) if instead we whole-heartedly embraced serendipitous discovery and playful creativity. Controversial at its heart, yet refreshingly provocative, this book challenges readers to consider life without a destination and discovery without a compass.

"Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!" --Chris Anderson, owner and curator of TED From the host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart, an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond. In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.

Alexander the Great was a military genius who conquered half the civilized world-a destroyer of armies, a builder of cities, a man with a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for glory, a giant among men whose short life was awe-inspiring in its accomplishments. What was Alexander's secret? As a boy, he was taught specific virtues that guided his thoughts and actions. More than two thousand years after Alexander died in Babylon, a young Ben Franklin discovered the ancient virtues in books and through observation. He set about systematically organizing his thoughts and habits to live by them. The result was a life of incredible achievement. Franklin had planned to write a book about the guiding principles that had brought him so much success in life so that others could implement them and achieve greatness of their own. His book was to be titled "The Art of Virtue." But it was a book he never wrote. Fortunately, his virtues are there for us to find in his essays and autobiography. The "Philosophy of Greatness" is a system of thought and behavior based on ancient wisdom that is as relevant and effective today as it was in Ben Franklin's day, and even more so now than in the time of Alexander. It is a practical philosophy, a scheme of action, designed to transform you into the healthiest, wealthiest and wisest version of yourself-a way of life that will set you on a path toward great achievement.
