Summary:

How business leaders can grow profits and competitive advantage by doing the right thing.

Acting on valuesdoing good for the benefit of allcan substantially benefit the bottom line, but many business leaders mistakenly believe that doing the right thing lowers profits. This belief is the greatest barrier holding businesses back from being more financially and competitively successfuland delivering more good for the world. Not only can it be a winning business strategy to act on values, as Daniel Aronson suggests in The Value of Values, but it is also a savvy choice, increasing a companys power, profit, and competitive advantagein many cases with little additional investment or risk.

It starts with seeing what others miss. Using extensive research and real-world calculations, Aronson demonstrates that the submerged value of initiatives such as taking bold action to combat climate change, helping people find jobs, or creating an open, inclusive work environment is normally 4 to 10 times more than initially believed. Calculating and capturing the true business benefit of acting on values provides a much-needed update to the sustainability and responsibility playbook. Even more important, it shows executives how to harness the value of values to improve profitability, acquire customers, and turbocharge their own careers.

Written by a measurement pioneer and one of the worlds foremost experts on making ethical business count, The Value of Values trains leaders to respond smartly and credibly to todays challenges, transforming how business can and should be done.

Title: From Intention to Impact

Author: Malia C. Lazu

Narrator: Melanie Carey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:09:58

Language: English

Release date: 02-06-24

Publisher: G&D Media

Genres: Self Development, Health & Wellness

Summary:

How business leaders can move their DEI efforts from intention to impact through strategy and culture change.

In the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, corporate America has doubled down on its public intentions to be more inclusive and equitable. Yet beyond the pledges it is difficult to see which system changes make a real difference. In From Intention to Impact, Malia Lazu draws on her background as a community organizer, her corporate career as a bank president, and now her experience as a leading DEI consultant to explain what has been holding organizations back and what they need to do better. First and foremost, she recognizes that truly moving from intention to impact means targeting and changing the traditions and culture that normalize whiteness.

From Intention to Impact shows what organizations, leaders, and people at all levels must do to create more inclusive environments that honor and value diversity. Lazu shares a seven-stage guide through this process as well as a 3L model of listening, learning, and loving that readers can use from the initial excitement of doing "something" to the frustration when the inevitable pushback comes, and finally to the determination to do the hard work despite the challenges-on corporate and political fronts. Most compelling, From Intention to Impactshows that, while commitment from the top is paramount, for DEI to be most effective, it needs to be decentralized-among managers, within teams, and across the organization.

A crucial read for anyone looking to future-proof their company, From Intention to Impact goes beyond the "feel good" PR-centric actions to showcase the real DEI work that must be done to create true and lasting systemic change.

Length: 08:14:10

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-24

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Genres: Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fiction & Literature, LGBTQ+, Contemporary Fantasy

Summary:

'It wasn't long before my wet and sticky fascination with life beyond the walls of our home could be read all over my face like soot'

Gabrielle has inherited the ability to change the colour of her skin from her mother, Tallulah. They guard their power carefully within the walls of a home that's been bleached completely white. This is the doing of Gabrielle's father, Robert. After battling his executive-level colleagues all day at the office as a man of colour, he needs everything in his house to be white - including his wife and daughter.

This is a house with secrets. Robert does not know that Talullah keeps a rainbow of spices stored in baggies and sewn into the lining of her handbag. Nor does he know that when he's away, Gabrielle and Tallulah let their skin pass through a spectrum of bright, dark, rebellious colours. But when Gabrielle discovers a love for the piano, she also finds she can change her skin, and find joy and acceptance, without her mother nearby. Gabrielle is learning of a world beyond her family's carefully-coded existence, and her mother is watching.

Notes on Her Colour is a novel where the strange and surreal meets the kitsch of Florida as it explores the dynamic of a family traumatised by racial violence in North America. It's a glittering, corrosive, witty tale about race, privilege, music and queerness.

At its heart, it's a story about a mother, told by her daughter.

Title: Silence in Her Eyes

Author: Armando Lucas Correa

Narrator: Suehyla El-Attar Young

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:49:19

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-24

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Australia

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Suspense

Summary:

Bestselling author Armando Lucas Correa strikes out in a bold new direction with a psychological thriller about a young woman afflicted with ‘motion blindness’, who becomes convinced that her next-door neighbour is going to be murdered. Perfect for readers of Before I Go to Sleep and The Silent Patient.

 

For as long as she can remember, twenty-eight-year-old Leah has suffered from akinetopsia – her eyes can’t process movement, only still images. As she walks around her neighbourhood in Upper Manhattan, her white stick tapping the pavement, most people assume she’s blind. But Leah sees a good deal, and she remembers every image her eyes capture.

 

Accustomed to a solitary life in her rambling apartment complex, Leah’s routine is thrown out of whack when someone new moves in next door. Alice is beautiful and kind, but Leah can smell waves of anxiety coming off her. As they become friends, confiding in each other, Alice opens up about her abusive, alcoholic ex-husband, who refuses to let her go.

 

Things take a turn for the worse when Leah hears Alice through the wall, begging for someone to help. With no one to call and moments to act, Leah is forced to make a decision that will test her courage, her strength and ultimately her sanity. But Leah is determined to help her new friend, even though the situation is dangerous at best – and deadly at worst.

Title: My Brilliant Sister

Author: Amy Brown

Narrator: Arianwen Parkes-Lockwood

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:55:16

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-24

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Australia

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Contemporary Women

Summary:

While Stella Miles Franklin took on the world, her beloved sister Linda led a short, domestic life as a wife, mother and sister. In a remarkable, genre-bending debut novel Amy Brown thrillingly reimagines those two lives – and her own – to explore and explode the contradictions embedded in brilliant careers and a woman’s place in the world. Sliding Doors meets Wifedom.

Stella Miles Franklin’s autobiographical novel My Brilliant Career launched one of the most famous names in Australian letters. Funny, bold, often biting about its characters, the novel and its young author had a lot in common. Miles went on to live a large, fiercely independent and bohemian life of travel, art and freedom.

 

Not so her beloved sister Linda. Quiet, contained, conventional, Linda was an inversion of Stella. A family peacemaker who married the man Stella would not, bore a son and died of pneumonia at 25.

 

In this reflective, witty and revealing novel, Amy Brown rescues Linda, setting her in counterpoint with Stella, and with the lives of two contemporary women: Ida, a writer whose writing life is on hold as she teaches and raises her young daughter; and Stella, a singer-songwriter who has sacrificed everything for a career, now forcibly put on hold. Binding the two is the novella that Linda might have written to her sister Stella – a brilliant alternative vision of My Brilliant Career.

 

Innovative and involving, My Brilliant Sister is an utterly convincing (and hilarious) portrait of Miles Franklin and a moving, nuanced exploration of the balance women still have to strike between careers and family lives. It gives a fresh take on one of Australia’s most celebrated writers and an insight into life now.

Title: Sensations Thoughts and Emotions: Essays on Reality and Mental Health

Author: Lincoln Stoller

Narrator: Lincoln Stoller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 20:19:22

Language: English

Release date: 01-29-24

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology

Summary:

Your primary sensations are external. Despite being critical to consciousness, we consider internal sensations incidental. This will help you become more sensitive. You take your thoughts for granted, but we think narrowly, remember little, and are easily confused. Organize your thinking by first recognizing its limitations. Bring your thoughts into focus.Emotions are the often ignored counterpoint to thoughts and sensations. They span the gamut from instinct to insight, and they are aspects of spirit. Properly engaged and understood, emotions will enlighten you.

Sensations, thoughts, and emotions trigger higher consciousness.

I wrote these essays while still integrating myself. I had passed death, academia, and psychedelics, moved into hypnotherapy and neurology, and was approaching the quacking of psychology. I offer these essays as a shaky ladder out of the well of narrow thinking.

Our culture's lust for consumption is reaching its limits. The wave will crest on politics and the environment, but it will break in our minds. We will be cast onto the shores of confusion, where we will be lost until we recombine our minds, bodies, and feelings.

This book helps you see, think, and feel back together those parts of yourself the Western mind reduced to rubble. If you feel integration to be unnatural, that's your problem at a glance. I apologize that the day is dawning and there's work we need to do, but hello. It's time to wake up.
