Hardback. Condition: Very Good. From Beatrice Dixon, founder of The Honey Pot Company, comes an inspiring memoir about overcoming adversity--personally and professionally--by trusting her intuition and following what she calls her soul instinct to build the life of her dreams. Beatrice Dixon, cofounder and CEO of The Honey Pot Company, shares the powerful story of how trusting her dreams--and her inner voice--led her to build a groundbreaking wellness brand. The Honey Pot Company was born from a literal dream, in which Dixon's late grandmother shared a recipe for an herbal remedy. When Dixon woke up, went to her kitchen, and formulated what would become the brand's first product. But Dixon's story didn't start--or stop--there. From being born a premature baby without a nose or forehead to navigating a scrappy adolescence, and pitching a vaginal wellness brand to rooms full of male investors, her journey has been anything but conventional. Through it all, she relied on her soul instinct to guide her. Part memoir, part self-help, The Soul Instinct is a raw, motivating look at the power of inner wisdom from one of the most influential voices in wellness today--and one of the few Black women to raise significant venture and private equity capital. This book will inspire readers to tap into their own intuition and own their story. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. Human beings have been smart enough to turn nature to their ends, generate vast wealth for themselves, and double their average life span. But are they smart enough to solve the problems of the 21st century? -- Thomas Homer-Dixon In The Ingenuity Gap, Thomas Homer-Dixon, global guru (the Toronto Star), asks: is our world becoming too complex, too fast-paced to manage? The challenges facing us converge, intertwine, and remain largely beyond our ken. Most of suspect the experts don't really know what's going on; that as a species we've released forces that are neither managed nor manageable. We are fast approaching a time when we may no longer be able to control a world that increasingly exceeds our grasp. This is the ingenuity gap -- the term coined by Thomas Homer-Dixon -- the critical gap between our need for practical, innovative ideas to solve complex problems and our actual supply of those ideas. Through gripping narrative stories and incidents that exemplify his arguments, he takes us on a world tour that begins with a heartstopping description of the tragic crash of United Airlines Flight 232 from Denver to Chicago and includes Las Vegas in its desert, a wilderness beach in British Columbia, and his solitary search for a little girl in Patna, India. He shows how, in our complex world, while poor countries are particularly vulnerable to ingenuity gaps, our own rich countries are not immune, and we are caught between a requirement for ingenuity and an increasingly uncertain supply. When the gap widens, political disintegration and violent upheaval can result, reaching into our own economies and daily lives in subtle ways. In compelling, lucid, prose, he makes real the problems we face and suggests how we might overcome them. …
