“An outstanding framework and powerful tools. A huge impact!" President, Kellogg’sThe fast-moving, furiously-changing world of exponential digital technologies, seismic social changes, and global existential risks is demanding that every organization innovates with agility whilst still maintaining efficient management and predictable returns. Those that cannot unleash the potential of their people to transform products and processes as times change quickly become obsolete. This is why one S&P company is being replaced every two weeks; and why 50%-75% of the Fortune 500 are predicted to disappear in a decade.This challenge to Business As Usual cannot be underestimated. The Command & Control management system of the 20th Century, upon which most organizations are built, was designed to limit the very empowerment, creativity, and adaptability needed to compete in the 21st Century. The vast majority of an organization's strategic problems—from disrupted business models to disengaged staff—are rooted in this broken paradigm. Restructures that don't break through this thinking are doomed to fail; even as much-lauded alternatives, like "self-management", often end in dysfunctional chaos and costly complexity.But it doesn't have to be this way. By choosing to become a Transformational Organization, you can ensure your enterprise does not just survive, but actually thrives in, the digital, disrupted, and damaged world. Architect your enterprise upon the neuroscience-inspired *Create & Control* blueprint described in this book and you get the best of both worlds: a stable hierarchy that is generative but not dominative; and an agile network of self-organizing teams and distributed leaders that is purposeful and not chaotic.Discover how to become a Transformational Organization today so you forge the future—rather than fail it.

For the millions who want to find peace, love, and purpose without religion, Cambridge-educated scientist, wisdom teacher, and leadership expert Nick Jankel sets out a radical new life philosophy that reunites cutting-edge science with timeless wisdom about human consciousness to help us make better life choices, understand our place in the universe, and transform our life, love, and leadership challenges so we thrive."Eye-opening… a nuanced way to expand the views of even a hardened atheist." Kirkus Reviews"A taboo-smashing book." BookbagSpiritual Atheist is a ground-breaking 'philosophical memoir' that draws on the author's knowledge of cutting-edge neuroscience, physics, and psychology; his insights into wisdom traditions like Taoism, Kabbalah, Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Zen, and Sufism; and twenty years experience leading hundreds of major organizations, and tens of thousands of individuals, to transform themselves.Unable to find lasting happiness with religion, reason, pills, therapy, partying, wealth, success, or entrepreneurship, the author discovered the life-changing and heart-expanding benefits of 'spiritual' enlightenment. But not satisfied with New Age ideology, he spent years meticulously joining the dots between science and spirituality to form a rigorous philosophy for the 25% of the population who call themselves 'spiritual but not religious' who want to flourish in their inner lives, relationships, and careers.If you trust science, and relish reason, but also sense that your life has purpose, your consciousness is real and that love is a force for good - all phenomena that conventional atheism denies - then spiritual atheism will help you have it all without dogma or superstition of any kind. Not limited to revolutionizing your own happiness and wellbeing, spiritual atheism can ensure that, together, we recalibrate capitalism, reinvent politics, and make AI, business, and technology work for all.This book is ideal for those looking for answers to the biggest questions in life; as well as and fans of books like The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, Waking Up by Sam Harris, and The Science Delusion by Rupert Sheldrake. It includes a summary of the key principles of Spiritual Atheism and an accessible glossary of essential philosophical, scientific, and spiritual terms to support awakening.
