IN Hollywood Virgin: Breaking Into and Out of Show Business, serial entrepreneur, producer, marketing strategist, and Virgin executive Jason Felts delivers an inspiring midlife memoir that encourages relentlessness in the pursuit of your dreams while staying true to who you are--and the ones you love--along the way. Jason Felts was a small-town, closeted kid with big dreams that ran directly to the grit and glamour of Hollywood. Through a cocktail of hard work, gumption, positivity, and a little bit of luck, Jason eventually turned every dream into reality, even if Hollywood didn't turn out to be all it was cracked up to be. Hollywood Virgin includes never-before-told stories about a host of famous names- including Halle Berry, Courteney Cox, Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, the Obamas, the Simpsons, and of course, the Bransons. Humor abounds as you read about the time Jason delivered royal underwear to a Queen on Necker Island and what it's like to take a spin on Air Force One. More importantly, you'll rediscover that life is worth living, not because of what you have accomplished--or will accomplish--but because of who you love and what you can do for them. With a Foreword written by Sir Richard Branson, Hollywood Virgin is a one-of-a-kind, wilder-than-fiction story that will earn a place in the libraries of everyone interested in the entertainment industry, the nature of celebrity, and the power of perseverance. It's an inspiring story for anyone yearning to discover and be their authentic self, overcome and strive again, and find out what a life enriched with purpose is all about.

3.5 billion people went to work today. 2 billion were struggling, stressed out, or disengaged when they got there. The world of work is complicated. Gig work, remote work, accelerating automation, re-skilling, a multigeneration workforce, self-managing teams, cross-functional programs, reorganizations...the complexities pile up. At the same time, the way most firms manage people through the journey at work still looks a lot like it used to 40 years ago. As customers, we're now used to customized offers and personalized solutions. As workers, we are often managed much the same as everyone else, although the average worker no longer exists. The Archetype Effect: Unlocking the Six Types of Motivation at Work builds on global research by Bain & Company, offering a new way to understand the workforce. Appreciating the rich diversity of what individuals want from work creates the chance to design many more good jobs-good for the individual and good for their organization. The Archetype Effect is for everyone who wants to explore their own archetype and how it affects their daily work experience, as well as for leaders who want their teams to be productive and their colleagues to be part of the more than 1 billion workers who are thriving and engaged.

"About 2.5 million people die in the United States annually, each leaving an average of five grieving people behind. What Must Be Carried provides vital emotional support for the grieving, imparting wisdom from her own experiences with grief and advice on navigating life after a devastating loss."--
