'This book will give you language for something you felt your whole life but couldn't quite articulate.'From the foreword by Mel Robbins, author of The Let Them Theory You're not stuck because the problem is too hard.You're stuck because something invisible is holding it in place. Most persistent problems-at work, in organizations, and in our own lives-aren't unsolvable. We've tried harder. We've optimized. We've worried about it. And nothing changes. This is the kind of stuckness that shows up for people who lead, create, and build-for those who care deeply, think clearly, and still find themselves going in circles. Some challenges are situations outside our control, best met with acceptance. But others are real problems, capable of being changed. The trouble is, we often can't tell the difference. That's because we're entangled. An entanglement is a hidden commitment that creates conflict beneath the surface: wanting progress without risk, change without loss, or forward motion without letting go of who we were-or who we promised to become. When we want two incompatible things at the same time, effort doesn't help. We stay stuck. In The Knot, Seth Godin offers a clear, practical framework: * How to tell the difference between problems you can solve and situations you need to accept* How to see systems, understand what people actually want, and create conditions for change rather than simply hoping for it* A practical guide to entanglements-time-based (sunk costs, premature optimization), social (phantom audiences, borrowed scorecards), and identity-based (who we were, who we promised to become) - each named, examined, and shown to be removable The book leaves readers with a simple mantra for meaningful work: Name the baggage.Drop the baggage.Ship the work. If you've been pushing without progress, this book helps you see what's really in the way - and finally remove it.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER IS BACKScion introduces #1 New York Times bestseller James Islington's first ever sci-fi novel in an unmissable new series filled with deadly assassins, dark humour, and world-changing technology - perfect for fans of The Murderbot Diaries and complete with the breathless pace and jaw-dropping twists readers know and love from global phenomenon The Will of the Many.My job, when you think about it, isn't so different from a lot of people's. The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the 'killing people' part of it, I guess, but that's a them problem: it's been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever - limited resources be damned - there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent. So, sure, I have to deal with a tonne of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I'm really only clocking in to try and crawl out from beneath my debts. But someone's got to do it. Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it. Still. This next job . . . I don't know. It's something I haven't had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way. I'm sure it'll all go totally fine though. Fusing the dystopian cityscapes of cyberpunk with the explosive action of anime, this cinematic sci-fi thriller will enchant both veteran fans and readers entirely new to the genre.

'History at its most scintillating' Nicholas CraneRivers are the great natural arteries that run through our lives.We have navigated them, dammed them and worshipped at them. From the ancient ecosystems of Egypt to the sinking cities of Shanghai and London, what we do with our rivers tells us about who has power and what we value. Now, when a passion for wild swimming is flourishing but the Amazon is on fire and some of our major river systems are dying, it has never been clearer that rivers are intertwined with humanity at our best and our worst. Seven Rivers is story of the Nile, Danube, Niger, Mississippi, Ganges, Yangtze and the Thames. It is a story of imperial frontiers, alluvial gold, kidnappings, slavery, anticolonialism and creation myths. It is about those who've lived and died on these rivers and their endless capacity for invention: their lotus pools and hanging gardens, their gigantic canal systems and elaborate fishing rituals, their absolute powers and their sly rebellions. At its heart are the empire-builders of the Chinese dynasties, Romans and Hindus and their river gods, the Habsburgs and Ottomans, Mughal emperors, the people of the Niger from Mali's golden age to today, struggles of life and death on the Mississippi, and the dethroning of the British on the rivers of their unruly imperial subjects. This is the story of us, in seven rivers.
