Intelligence comes in many guises – emotional, logical and relational, just to name a few. This book aims to identify how you can achieve wealth through your own model of intelligence.

The book is a real page-turner, explaining how the concept of wealth has evolved over the decades and what paths can be followed to achieve it.

Becoming wealthy isn’t just a matter of mimicking what others have done, but rather of starting with yourself and learning to leverage your own features, qualities and needs in a completely different way.

Your pathway to achieving a wealth-oriented mindset should be based on what makes you unique – your background, your influences, your wounds and the fears you have faced. While these are typically identified as limitations, they can actually be turned into your keys to success.

The book uses clear, straight-forward language, providing plenty of examples and case studies; each chapter ends with a handy summary that can act as a precious stepping stone along your own path.

A “workout book” for everyone who wants to develop energy and power in the face of any self-inflicted anxiety and inadequacy. Words of wisdom to carve our own personal and professional path – and make it more human.

The book features workouts and practices that allow us to grow stronger by distancing ourselves from our daily routine. Distance provides relief from our worries and enables us to think more sharply and clearly. By inhabiting this distance thanks to new forms of training, we can finally find our focus, our sense and hence our possible choices and actions to support ourselves, our relationships, our business and our search for new forms of profit.

The book introduces us to the supposed virtue – often considered strictly female – of multitasking. It looks at some of the most significant theories that consider multitasking as a matter of genetics or, on the contrary, as a mere social construct.

With an ironic, brilliant and straight-forward style, Chiara Cecutti investigates how multitasking often turns into a boomerang for women and why so many women still insist on keeping their fingers in so many pies.

She takes the myth of female perfection down a few notches and warns the women who spend their lives bustling about to keep up with their work, family and home without ever delegating or asking for help how risky this attitude is and how it can damage personal relationships and love lives, as well as their physical and mental wellbeing.

The author looks into some real-life cases to show how you can do less and get more; she warns women against chasing the myth of female superpowers, provides useful tips to learn how to delegate and ease your daily workload.

Innovators are to company growth what misfits are to company survival. Through the story of his professional experience and private life the author, with the help of a number of conversations with innovators and leaders, finds predictable patterns to help figure out ways to not only spot these lateral thinkers in your organization but also to deal with them and make use of their peculiar talents to improve your business.

The tension between incremental innovation and disruptive innovation, between the business as usual and what is coming next, is not something any company should be afraid of, and rebels are there to transform this tension into an opportunity, if you know how to deal with it.

For each note, analysis tools and managerial solutions are given, including case studies from national and international organisations; in the world of music, a famous rockstar (Battiato, Springsteen, Bowie, The Beatles etc.) is cited as the embodiment of a certain skill.
