NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of The Talent Code unlocks the secrets of highly successful groups and provides tomorrow’s leaders with the tools to build a cohesive, motivated culture. “A truly brilliant, mesmerizing read that demystifies the magic of great groups.”—Adam Grant, author of Think Again A BLOOMBERG AND LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Where does great culture come from? How do you build and sustain it in your group, or strengthen a culture that needs fixing? In The Culture Code, Daniel Coyle goes inside some of the world’s most successful organizations—including the U.S. Navy’s SEAL Team Six, IDEO, and the San Antonio Spurs—and reveals what makes them tick. He demystifies the culture-building process by identifying three key skills that generate cohesion and cooperation, and explains how diverse groups learn to function with a single mind. Drawing on examples that range from Internet retailer Zappos to the comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade to a daring gang of jewel thieves, Coyle offers specific strategies that trigger learning, spark collaboration, build trust, and drive positive change. Coyle unearths helpful stories of failure that illustrate what not to do, troubleshoots common pitfalls, and shares advice about reforming a toxic culture. Combining leading-edge science, on-the-ground insights from world-class leaders, and practical ideas for action, The Culture Code offers a roadmap for creating an environment where innovation flourishes, problems get solved, and expectations are exceeded. Culture is not something you are—it’s something you do. The Culture Code puts the power in your hands. No matter the size of your group or your goal, this book can teach you the principles of cultural chemistry that transform individuals into teams that can accomplish amazing things together.

What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? This groundbreaking work provides readers with tools they can use to maximize potential in themselves and others. Whether you’re coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism. Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world’s talent hotbeds—from the baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in upstate New York—Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything. • Deep Practice Everyone knows that practice is a key to success. What everyone doesn’t know is that specific kinds of practice can increase skill up to ten times faster than conventional practice. • Ignition We all need a little motivation to get started. But what separates truly high achievers from the rest of the pack? A higher level of commitment—call it passion—born out of our deepest unconscious desires and triggered by certain primal cues. Understanding how these signals work can help you ignite passion and catalyze skill development. • Master Coaching What are the secrets of the world’s most effective teachers, trainers, and coaches? Discover the four virtues that enable these “talent whisperers” to fuel passion, inspire deep practice, and bring out the best in their students. These three elements work together within your brain to form myelin, a microscopic neural substance that adds vast amounts of speed and accuracy to your movements and thoughts. Scientists have discovered that myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation of all forms of greatness, from Michelangelo’s to Michael Jordan’s. The good news about myelin is that it isn’t fixed at birth; to the contrary, it grows, and like anything that grows, it can be cultivated and nourished. Combining revelatory analysis with illuminating examples of regular people who have achieved greatness, this book will not only change the way you think about talent, but equip you to reach your own highest potential.

A manual for building a faster brain and a better you!

The product of five years of reporting from the world’s greatest talent hotbeds and interviews with successful master coaches, it distills the daunting complexity of skill development into 52 clear, concise directives. Whether you’re age 10 or 100, whether you’re on the sports field or the stage, in the classroom or the corner office, this is an essential guide for anyone who ever asked, “How do I get better?” Praise for The Little Book of Talent “The Little Book of Talent should be given to every graduate at commencement, every new parent in a delivery room, every executive on the first day of work. It is a guidebook—beautiful in its simplicity and backed by hard science—for nurturing excellence.”—Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit “It’s so juvenile to throw around hyperbolic terms such as ‘life-changing,’ but there’s no other way to describe The Little Book of Talent. I was avidly trying new things within the first half hour of reading it and haven’t stopped since. Brilliant. And yes: life-changing.”—Tom Peters, co-author of In Search of Excellence

The ultimate handbook for fostering and cultivating a strong team culture, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code and The Talent Code. “If you are a leader—or if you work with one—and want to understand how to build psychological safety, trust, and a sense of purpose for your team, then you need this book.”—Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Forbes Building a team has never been harder than it is right now. How do you create connection and trust? How do you stay focused on your goals? In his years studying the ways successful groups work together, Daniel Coyle has spent time with elite teams around the world, observing the ways they support each other, manage conflict, and move toward a common goal. In The Culture Playbook, he distills everything he has learned into sixty concrete, actionable tips and exercises that will help your team build a cohesive, positive culture. Great cultures, Coyle has found, are built on three essential skills: safety, vulnerability, and purpose. Within this framework, he shows us how we can better serve our teammates, ourselves, and our shared purpose, including: • scheduling regular team “tune-ups” to place an explicit spotlight on the team’s inner workings and create conversations that surface and improve team dynamics • creating spaces for remote coworkers to connect with their colleagues to foster a team spirit even across distances • holding an anxiety party to serve as a pressure-relief valve, as well as a platform for people to connect and solve problems together With reflections, exercises, and practical tips that will prove invaluable to companies, athletes, and families alike, and replete with black-and-white illustrations, The Culture Playbook is an indispensable guide to ensuring that your team performs at its best.

New York Times Bestseller: An “intimate, insightful, unflinching” portrait of the cyclist as he trains for—and triumphs in—the Tour de France (Jon Krakauer, New York Times–bestselling author of Into the Wild). This is an extraordinary story of greatness pushed to its limits; a vivid, behind-the-scenes portrait of perhaps the most accomplished athlete of our time as he vies for a historic sixth straight victory in the toughest sporting event on the planet. It is the true story of a superlative sports figure fighting on all fronts—made newly vulnerable by age, fate, fame, doping allegations, a painful divorce, and an unprecedented army of challengers—while mastering the exceedingly difficult trick of being Lance Armstrong, a combination of world-class athlete, celebrity, regular guy, and, for many Americans, secular saint. With a new afterword by the author, this updated edition features in-depth reporting on Armstrong’s unprecedented seventh consecutive Tour de France victory; new blood doping allegations; his continuing personal and legal battles; and his retirement. A fascinating journey through the little-known landscape of professional bike racing, Lance Armstrong’s War provides a hugely insightful look into the often inspiring, always surprising core of a remarkable athlete and the world that shapes him. “Well-researched and entertaining . . . his reporting is, quite simply, amazing.” —The New York Times “Fueled by superb reporting and the built-in suspense of the 2004 Tour, Lance Armstrong’s War is the equal of its distinguished and very complicated subject.” —Booklist (starred review) “Brisk and brilliant . . . captures the fabulous life and fast times of an international icon—and pierces the mystic heart of motivation itself.” —Hampton Sides, New York Times–bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers

This dissertation consists of a philological and philosophical exploration of the Guiguzi 鬼谷子. It establishes the sinological background of the text through a detailed contextual study and locates Master Guigu in the Chinese intellectual tradition. Guiguzi is the legendary transmitter of the Sunzi bingfa ("Art of War") tradition, said to have bestowed his text upon Sun Bin. The research reveals that the Book of Master Guigu conceives a comprehensive "art of persuasion" by promoting an unassuaging efficacy within an early Daoist cosmological framework. [Hardcover reprint from a new scan of the 2000 edition]

Als er iets is dat het leven van Lance Armstrong typeert - behalve dat hij een succesvol gevecht voerde tegen kanker, zeven keer de Tour de France won, uitgroeide tot een media-icoon en herhaaldelijk van dopinggebruik werd beschuldigd - dan is het wel zijn onbreekbare wil om te winnen. Ten koste van alles en iedereen. Armstrong krabbelt weer op na de bijna verloren Tour van 2003, verwerkt een pijnlijke scheiding, speelt psychologische spelletjes met renners als Jan Ullrich en houdt zich staande in een mediacircus van jetsetters, controversiële Italiaanse sportartsen, advocaten en de dopingheksenjacht van Franse pers en politie, die uitgerekend na Armstrongs afscheid steeds grotere vormen aanneemt. Dit alles maakt de lezer van zeer nabij mee - alsof Daniel Coyle bij Armstrong achterop de fiets zat. Wat drijft deze man? Lance Armstrongs oorlog geeft op uiterst onderhoudende wijze antwoord. En is daarmee dé biografie van een van de grootste sportmensen aller tijden. ''Een proeve van Amerikaanse sportjournalistiek in de beste tradities.'' - de Volkskrant ''Het is eigenlijk veel leuker in boekvorm dan op tv.'' - Sunday Telegraph Daniel Coyle schreef onder meer Hardball en Waking Samuel. Zijn werk werd opgenomen in The Best American Sports Writing. Hij woont in Alaska met zijn vier kinderen. Benjo Maso schreef onder meer Wij waren allemaal goden. De Tour van 1948.''

Best-seller do The New York Times e eleito um dos melhores livros de negócios de 2018 por Bloomberg e Library Journal. O livro preferido da Stone. Prefácio de Andre Street, fundador da StoneCo. "Este livro mostra que reunir pessoas com inteligência acima da média não basta. Para atingir um objetivo com excelência é preciso união e um sonho grande. É leitura obrigatória para quem quer empreender um negócio baseado em uma cultura forte." – Jorge Paulo Lemann "Os exemplos que Daniel Coyle traz neste livro mostram que ao contrário do que muitas vezes pensamos, a cultura de uma empresa não se torna forte por decisão de alguém. Ela é resultado de uma liderança com visão clara e capacidade de despertar o esforço diário para que todos trabalhem em benefício de uma meta compartilhada." – Guilherme Benchimol, fundador da XP “Construir verdadeiros times, que compartilhem um mesmo propósito, num ambiente de segurança, é fundamental em qualquer contexto, seja nos esportes, nas empresas, nas comunidades. O êxito depende sempre de um trabalho de time, e Equipes brilhantes nos mostra os segredos dessa construção!” – Bernardinho “Equipes brilhantes traz, mais do que inspirações, estudos e casos de sucesso que apontam caminhos para unir pessoas em busca de um objetivo comum. Leitura fundamental para quem quer formar equipe de campeões.” – Augusto Lins, presidente da Stone Pagamentos “Um livro necessário para quem quer exercer a boa liderança.” – Thiago Piaui “Este livro mostra que processo criativo não é um mistério ou um dom exclusivo de artistas. Tem a ver com processos e mentes treinadas.” – Eduardo Pontes “Um livro verdadeiramente brilhante que desmistifica a magia do sucesso de grandes grupos.” – Adam Grant, autor de Originais "Se você quer entender como equipes de sucesso trabalham, este é o guia essencial.

¿Por qué ciertos grupos ofrecen más que la suma de sus partes mientras que otros ofrecen menos? LAS CLAVES DE LA CULTURA DE EQUIPO, AL ALCANCE DE TODOS. La cultura de grupo es una de las mayores fuerzas que existen. Podemos percibir su presencia en los negocios de éxito, en los equipos que lideran los campeonatos y en las familias más prósperas, y enseguida notamos cuándo falta y cuándo se ha vuelto tóxica. Todos queremos implantar una cultura fuerte en nuestras respectivas organizaciones, comunidades y familias. Sabemos que funciona, pero no sabemos con exactitud cómo. Solemos considerarla un rasgo grupal, como el ADN. Las culturas sólidas y bien fundamentadas como las de Google, Disney o los SEAL de la Armada estadounidense parecen tan singulares y características que podrían calificarse de inamovibles, como si de alguna manera estuvieran predestinadas a ser así. De acuerdo a este razonamiento, unos grupos son agraciados con una cultura sólida y otros no. Este libro adopta una perspectiva distinta. Tras investigar los grupos de mayor éxito del mundo, Daniel Coyle llegó a la conclusión de que sus respectivas culturas nacían de un conjunto específico de habilidades que aprovechan el potencial de nuestro cerebro social. La habilidad 1, «Labrar la seguridad», profundiza en cómo las señales de vinculación establecen lazos de pertenencia y de identidad. La habilidad 2, «Comparte la vulnerabilidad», explica cómo el hábito de afrontar riesgos comunes propicia la cooperación basada en la confianza. Y la habilidad 3, «Define un propósito», detalla cómo las narraciones implantan objetivos y valores comunes. Con extraordinaria amenidad, este libro explora cómo funciona cada una de estas tres habilidades y da a conocer las experiencias de los grupos y los líderes que emplean estos métodos a diario en un mundo siempre cambiante. Aunque pueda parecer que una cultura de éxito se consigue por arte de magia, no es así. La cultura es un conjunto de relaciones vivas con un objetivo común. No es algo que seas, sino algo que haces. Reseñas: «Esta es la guía esencial para comprender cómo trabajan los equipos de éxito. Un libro profundo y enormemente práctico.» Charles Duhigg, autor de Más agudo, más rápido y mejor (Conecta) «Llevaba años esperando a que alguien escribiera este libro. Léanlo inmediatamente.» Adam Grant, autor de Opción B (Conecta)

Care este secretul talentului? Cum îl descătușăm? În această lucrare revoluționară, autorul oferă părinților, dascălilor, antrenorilor, oamenilor de afaceri și tuturor celorlalți instrumente cu ajutorul cărora pot să maximizeze propriul potențial sau pe al altora. Pornind de la ultimele descoperiri ale neurologiei și valorificând rezultatele cercetărilor nemijlocite pe care le-a efectuat în nouă dintre pepinierele de talent ale lumii, Daniel Coyle identifică trei elemente esențiale care te vor ajuta să-ți dezvolți talentele și să-ți optimizezi performanțele în sport, artă, muzică, matematică – practic, în orice domeniu. Antrenamentul intens – anumite tipuri de antrenament pot accelera de până la zece ori progresul în diferite domenii față de un antrenament obișnuit.Declanșarea – un nivel superior de dăruire născut din cele mai adânci dorințe inconștiente și declanșat de anumite semnale primare poate cataliza dezvoltarea aptitudinilor.Măiestria în antrenament – descoperă cele patru virtuți ale celor mai eficienți dascăli și antrenori ai lumii, care le permit să obțină cele mai bune rezultate pentru elevii lor. Aceste trei elemente colaborează pentru formarea în creier a mielinei, o substanță neurală care crește considerabil viteza și precizia mișcărilor și gândurilor. Oamenii de știință au descoperit că mielina este fundamentul tuturor formelor de măreție, de la Michelangelo la Michael Jordan. Mai mult, cantitatea de mielină nu este fixată la naștere, ci, dimpotrivă, poate fi crescută. Combinând analiza revelatoare cu exemple concludente de oameni obișnuiți care au atins măreția, cartea de față nu numai că îți schimbă ideile despre talent, dar te și învață cum să-ți atingi potențialul maxim.

¿Por qué ciertos grupos ofrecen más que la suma de sus partes mientras que otros ofrecen menos? LAS CLAVES DE LA CULTURA DE EQUIPO, AL ALCANCE DE TODOS. «Cuando las arañas tejen juntas pueden atar a un león», afirma el proverbio etíope. Y esa capacidad de colaboración y de trabajo en equipo es el secreto del éxito de empresas y organizaciones tan dispares como Pixar, los San Antonio Spurs, los SEAL de la Armada estadounidense, una escuela de un área desfavorecida o una banda de ladrones de joyas. Daniel Coyle, también autor de El pequeño libro del talento, muestra aquí cómo se gestan la confianza y el sentimiento de pertenencia. Y ofrece las claves para crear un entorno que favorezca la innovación, la resolución de problemas y la obtención de resultados, independientemente de las dimensiones del equipo y de sus objetivos.
