What happens when you apply old-school thinking to a new media world? Absolutely nothing! Media: From Chaos to Clarity strips away the bias of a bygone era and offers readers a compass to navigate an exciting and messy media world. The Five Global Truths were introduced in 2011. Today, we have more evidence that these Truths can guide us as we travel through Media Chaos. Franks takes us on a journey that celebrates bold pioneers and describes the bumpy ride as we learn to let go of outdated beliefs. Forget the battle of old vs. new media. Rather, Franks describes a media ecosystem where the media collaborate, consumers accelerate great content and where bold pioneers who break old rules realize exponential results.Author Judy Franks is a full-time clinical faculty member of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, Media, and Integrated Marketing Communications.

The groundbreaking psychology and self development book with step-by-step plans to achieve emotional health and clarity. “Emotional Chaos to Clarity is a masterwork. Be inspired by the possibilities it opens.” —Jack Kornfield, Ph.D., author of The Wise Heart Despite our best-laid plans, life is difficult, and we sometimes experience anger, anxiety, frustration, and doubt. This emotional chaos can negatively affect the way we live our lives. Yet, Phillip Moffitt shows us that by cultivating a responsive mind rather than a reactive one, we can achieve a state of emotional clarity that allows us to act with a calm mind and a loving heart. Drawing on both Western psychology and Buddhist philosophy, Moffitt’s step-by-step exercises help us to: • Know and act from our core values at all times • Gain wisdom from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences • Free ourselves from the past • Achieve a peaceful inner life, even if our outer life is filled with challenges

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A clear-eyed account of learning how to lead in a chaotic world, by General Jim Mattis—the former Secretary of Defense and one of the most formidable strategic thinkers of our time—and Bing West, a former assistant secretary of defense and combat Marine. “A four-star general’s five-star memoir.”—The Wall Street Journal Call Sign Chaos is the account of Jim Mattis’s storied career, from wide-ranging leadership roles in three wars to ultimately commanding a quarter of a million troops across the Middle East. Along the way, Mattis recounts his foundational experiences as a leader, extracting the lessons he has learned about the nature of warfighting and peacemaking, the importance of allies, and the strategic dilemmas—and short-sighted thinking—now facing our nation. He makes it clear why America must return to a strategic footing so as not to continue winning battles but fighting inconclusive wars. Mattis divides his book into three parts: Direct Leadership, Executive Leadership, and Strategic Leadership. In the first part, Mattis recalls his early experiences leading Marines into battle, when he knew his troops as well as his own brothers. In the second part, he explores what it means to command thousands of troops and how to adapt your leadership style to ensure your intent is understood by your most junior troops so that they can own their mission. In the third part, Mattis describes the challenges and techniques of leadership at the strategic level, where military leaders reconcile war’s grim realities with political leaders’ human aspirations, where complexity reigns and the consequences of imprudence are severe, even catastrophic. Call Sign Chaos is a memoir of a life of warfighting and lifelong learning, following along as Mattis rises from Marine recruit to four-star general. It is a journey about learning to lead and a story about how he, through constant study and action, developed a unique leadership philosophy, one relevant to us all.
