Cal Newport's clearly-written manifesto flies in the face of conventional wisdom by suggesting that it should be a person's talent and skill - and not necessarily their passion - that determines their career path. Newport, who graduated from Dartmouth College (Phi Beta Kappa) and earned a PhD. from MIT, contends that trying to find what drives us, instead of focusing on areas in which we naturally excel, is ultimately harmful and frustrating to job seekers. The title is a direct quote from comedian Steve Martin who, when once asked why he was successful in his career, immediately replied: "Be so good they can't ignore you" and that's the main basis for Newport's book. Skill and ability trump passion. Inspired by former Apple CEO Steve Jobs' famous Stanford University commencement speech in which Jobs urges idealistic grads to chase their dreams, Newport takes issue with that advice, claiming that not only is thsi advice Pollyannish, but that Jobs himself never followed his own advice. From there, Newport presents compelling scientific and contemporary case study evidence that the key to one's career success is to find out what you do well, where you have built up your 'career capital,' and then to put all of your efforts into that direction.

This book explores the emergence and development of data in cities. It exposes how Information Communication Technology (ICT) corporations seeking to capitalize on cities developing needs for urban technologies have contributed to many of the issues we are faced with today, including urbanization, centralization of wealth and climate change. Using several case studies, the book provides examples of the, in part, detrimental effects ICT driven ‘Smart City’ solutions have had and will have on the human characteristics that contribute to the identity and sense of belonging innate to many of our cities. The rise in Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and technologies like social media, has changed how people interact with and in cities, and Allam discusses of how these changes require planners, engineers and other urban professionals to adjust their approach. The main question the book seeks to address is ‘how can we use emerging technologies to recalibrate our cities and ensure increased livability, whilst also effectively dealing with their associate challenges?’ This is an ongoing conversation, but one that requires extensive thought as it has extensive consequences. This book will be of interest to students, academics, professionals and policy makers across a broad range of subjects including urban studies, architecture and STS, geography and social policy.

“... (the) lessons, words, vision, and inspirational stories not only impacted me in the NFL, but as a man. I am grateful for his significance in my life... we either ‘move’ or we ‘die.’”—Russell Wilson, NFL Quarterback Chris Carlisle, former Super Bowl Champion Performance Coach, has written a book that blazes a clear path from where you presently are to where you expect to be. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who are stuck and those who are moving towards accomplishing their grandest dreams. Which one are you? On one hand, there are people who became stuck behind life’s barriers and eventually stagnated because they had no idea how to move on. Without a plan to move forward, these people will eventually face their professional death. On the other hand, there are people who were confronted with similar issues but had the tools to find a way to continue moving towards their dreams and goals. They kept on moving down the line, and so can you. Chris’s ideas come from his own experience and work shaping the ideals of the highly motivated. From dealing with his own hardships to helping others battle through intense competitions, Carlisle has found a way to break through barriers. This book helps paint the picture that great things are being done by common people. Why not you? Have you been told you weren’t good enough? Have you been pigeonholed in a job? Are you watching people live the life you know was meant for you? Step by step, Move or Die will put in motion a simple plan to move forward in your life, including: Understanding who you are and where you want to be Recognizing that the “grind” is not a bad thing, but essential to being successful Realizing the power in being a non-linear thinker And much more!
