Collective Behavior

Jason L. Nemes knows firsthand about the power of having the right code of behavior. After living by the wrong code of behavior, his life was a series of negative consequences: His mom had kicked him out of the house and the party life had left him addicted and empty. Then, when he was 35, his choices caught up with him, and a major heart attack almost took him out of the game—permanently. Determined to create his best possible life, Jason changed his code of behavior. This book reveals his path to greatness and gives you the tools you need to become your best from the inside out.

The truth is, leading innovation takes a distinctive kind of leadership, one that unleashes and harnesses the "collective genius" of the people in the organization.

You were born into a system you never designed, yet you defend it as if you built it yourself. Carl Jung argued that what we refuse to face in ourselves eventually controls us from the shadows. Nations are no different. Unexamined fear becomes a lever for those who know how to pull it; shame is weaponized into silence; and groupthink eventually replaces conscience. In this environment, populations mistake the performance of democracy for the reality of freedom. The Shadow of Democracy is not a partisan critique. It doesn't look left or right; it looks underneath. Konrad Graf exposes the ...

Where past research on whites' racial attitudes emphasized out-group hostility, Jardina brings into focus the significance of in-group identity and favoritism. Jardina shows that disaffected whites are not just found among the working class; they make up a broad proportion of the American public - with profound implications for political behavior and the future of racial conflict in America.

"If a lion could talk, we could not understand him." So listen instead to what does speak: the ant under your shoe, writing life in scent. I lay a trail that reads like a sentence, press my antennae to a sister for grammar, taste sugar and grit as punctuation. I do not speak; I broadcast maps, alarms, and care with chemicals and touch. In plain, unsentimental scenes I narrate how a single path becomes a mind — how food, brood, and danger are solved by bodies obeying small rules until they look like decisions. This is natural history pried open at the seam where science meets sensation. ...
