Capital Evolution: The New American Economy by Seth Levine, Elizabeth MacBride https://www.amazon.com/Capital-Evolution-New-American-Economy/dp/1637747780 Business overtook government. Now what? The future of capitalism isn’t left or right—it’s forward. In Capital Evolution: The New American Economy, Seth Levine and Elizabeth MacBride deliver a bold and timely reassessment of capitalism in America. Drawing on decades of experience in finance, journalism, and policy, Levine and MacBride argue that capitalism isn’t the problem—it’s the outdated neoliberal version we’ve been practicing that’s failing us. From the rise of populism to the growing disillusionment among younger generations, the signs of strain are everywhere. But Levine and MacBride reveal how a new consensus—what they call Dynamic Capitalism—is already taking shape, one that balances profit with purpose, empowers the middle class, and addresses the urgent challenges of inequality and climate change. Through compelling stories of leaders like Jamie Dimon, Dan Schulman, Lisa Green Hall, and Larry Fink, Capital Evolution shows how businesses, governments, and individuals can work together to create an economy that works for everyone. This book is a call to action to embrace change, rebuild trust, and ensure capitalism remains the most dynamic force for progress the world has ever known. The future isn’t a choice between old ideologies—it’s about evolving to meet the needs of a new era. Capital Evolution is a compelling look at the changes taking hold in America’s political system, information environment, and society, asking tough questions about the rising power of businesses in our economic system. Drawing on dozens of interviews with CEOs, academics, employees, and thought leaders, venture capitalist and author Seth Levine and journalist Elizabeth MacBride boldly challenge readers to take a hard look at our divisions and their impact on American economic supremacy.

The Royal We by Roddy Bottum of Fate No More https://www.amazon.com/Royal-We-Roddy-Bottum/dp/1636142699 A founder of the iconic band Faith No More shares his coming-of-age and out-of-the-closet story in pre–tech boom San Francisco THE ROYAL WE is a poetic survey of a time set in a magical city that once was and is no more. It is a memoir written by Roddy Bottum, a musician and artist, that documents his coming of age and out of the closet in 1980s San Francisco, a charged era of bicycle messengers, punk rock, street witches, wheatgrass, and rebellion. The book follows his travels from Los Angeles, growing up gay with no role models, to San Francisco, where he formed Faith No More and went on to tour the world relentlessly, surviving heroin addiction and the plight of AIDS, to become a queer icon. The book is an elevated wallop of tongue and insight, much more than a tell-all. There are personal encounters with public figures like Kurt and Courtney and Guns N’ Roses, and recaps of gold records and arena rock―but it’s the testimonies of tragedy and addiction and preposterous life-spins that make this work so unique and intriguing. Bottum writes about his dark and harrowing past in a clear-eyed voice that is utterly devoid of self-pity, and his emboldened and confident pronouncements of achievement and unorthodox heroism flow in an unstoppable train that’s both captivating and inspirational.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Human Resources: A Concise Guide by Dr. C. Rasmussen https://www.amazon.com/Artificial-Intelligence-Machine-Learning-Resources/dp/B0FWZQXHMG Curtisrasmussen.focalpointcoaching.com What if a computer could help find the perfect employee or predict who might leave a job? This exciting idea opens the door to a new way of working. Overview This guide explains how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming human resources (HR). Smart computer programs can quickly review thousands of job applications to find the best candidates, suggest training tailored to employees’ needs, and predict which workers might quit, helping managers take action to keep them. The book includes real-world examples, like how large companies use AI to save time, and covers benefits, such as improved hiring, as well as key concerns, like protecting personal information. At just 61 pages, it’s concise by design, following Richard Feynman’s wisdom: “If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” More pages don’t equal more value; in fact, lengthy texts can bury useful insights. Since every organization is unique, this book equips HR professionals and managers with the right questions to ask rather than a rigid roadmap, making it a practical tool for anyone curious about the future of work. About the author Dr. Curtis “Curt” Rasmussen is a leading expert in industrial-organizational psychology with a Ph.D. from Walden University. He specializes in blending human skills with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to make workplaces better and more efficient. With years of experience in research, consulting, and government roles, he helps businesses use data and tech wisely. His career highlights include owning Cyber-Human Performance Tech, LLC, where he advises small and mid-sized companies on adding AI to hiring and daily tasks while keeping things ethical. He also guides students in George Mason University’s Data Engineering program, focusing on AI tools like natural language processing and computer vision. At the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), he led workforce planning as a senior I/O psychologist, creating surveys and frameworks that improved employee satisfaction by 45% and helped with smarter hiring. Earlier, he reviewed AI and data science proposals for the Department of Commerce, National Academy of Medicine, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, making sure projects were strong and fair. Dr. Rasmussen has invented patent-pending tools like the Multidimensional Algorithm Structure (MAS), which picks the best AI methods by checking data and company needs, and the eXplainable Artificial Intelligence Construct (XAIC), which makes AI easy to understand and trust by involving people in decisions. These ideas help fix common AI problems, like failures or hidden biases.

In this powerful and thought-provoking book, Creative Thinking: A Coach’s Perspective, André Walton unpacks the truth: creativity isn’t just for artists, inventors, or “special people.” It’s a way of thinking—a mindset we can all access, nurture, and apply in our everyday lives.

Packed with relatable insights, practical exercises, and real-life coaching moments, this book reveals how creative thinking can unlock personal transformation, emotional resilience, and even joy. It’s not about being a genius—it’s about thinking differently to see more clearly, connect more deeply, and act more boldly. If you’re ready to tap into one of the most powerful tools you already possess, this is your invitation to begin. About the author At the core André Walton is an inventor and entrepreneur. He spent two decades building manufacturing and marketing businesses in the UK (where he was born) and in the US. André later graduated with a Ph.D. from the University of Nevada, Reno, having researched what makes people and organizations creative, and what discourages their creativity. André developed the concept of Spherical Thinking and also the Group Affiliation Model of Creativity which helps explain many anomalies of the creative process including shortcomings of traditional brainstorming, as well as the traditional association between creativity and mental illness. He has also been an active researcher in the field of social psychology and law and is a consultant for the National Judicial College as well as Visiting Professor of Entrepreneurship and Creativity at the Newport Business School.
