Semi-Pro
Clay M. Grayson (Advantage Books)
College athletics is stuck in the in-between, no longer amateur, not yet fully professional, and Clay M. Grayson's Semi-Pro is the definitive, timely guide to address that uneasy middle ground. If you love college sports—the fight songs, the tailgates, the Saturdays that feel like family reunions—this book will speak straight to your heart. Clay M.

The Path of Least Regret:...
Parul Somani (Forbes Books)
Parul Somani's The Path of Least Regret asks a question that will change your life: What if the secret to the hardest choices life throws at you isn’t finding the right answer, but finding the answer you can live with? That question is at the heart of this book and discussed in the author’s decision-making framework created in the most unforgiving of classrooms: days after giving birth to her second daughter, Somani, an MIT- and Harvard-trained Bain consultant, was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer at thirty-one. When data and analysis fa...
MSP to MVP: Building Unbr...
Chris Day (Forbes Books)
In MSP to MVP, Chris Day convinces his readers that uptime is no longer a value proposition, but the price of admission. He confronts the uncomfortable truth that continuously haunts managed service providers, where clients renew year after year, yet relationships suffer, expansion stalls, and growth refuses to compound. Backed by two decades spent building Fully Managed into Canada’s largest MSP, founding IT Glue, and scaling ScalePad, Day shows how an industry obsessed with operational excellence leaves its most important work invisible. When...
Emergence: How Our Twenty...
Bob Burgin (Forbes Books)
We did not so much build artificial intelligence as teach it to learn, and then stand back in astonishment at what we have achieved. This startling premise introduces Bob Burgin’s Emergence: How Our Twenty-Watt Brains Unlocked Intelligence Beyond Biology. The book takes readers on an odyssey from Eric Kandel’s sea slugs and Henry Molaison’s memoryless brain to Geoffrey Hinton’s neural networks. It then explores AlphaGo’s unimagined brilliance and an AI that behaves in a way that says emphatically that it is “not indifferent” to its own continui...
Fit for Uncertainty: Lead...
Marianne Bachynski (Entrepreneur Books)
Seventy percent of transformation programs fail, and Marianne Bachynski has spent thirty years learning why. In Fit for Uncertainty, the veteran technology executive (Morgan Stanley, Citi, AIG) argues that in an era of AI-driven, warp-speed change, the old command-and-control leadership model is not just outdated but also a recipe for burnout and collapse. This book shows readers one compelling truth: uncertainty should not be viewed as an enemy to be controlled but as a condition to be accepted and embraced. Leaders who make an impact are adap...
Agentic Intelligence: Str...
Manish Sood, Venkat Venkatraman (Forbes Books)
Your AI strategy is not failing because the models are weak; it is failing because your organization cannot think at the speed of its own data. That is the bracing wake-up call that powers Agentic Intelligence, in which Reltio founder Manish Sood and Boston University strategist Venkat Venkatraman argue that the next era of competition will not be won by intuition or algorithms alone, but by “agentic intelligence”: humans and machines sensing, understanding, deciding, and acting together on trusted, unified, real-time data. The book features te...
Greens Are Free
Dr. Stephanie Bernard (Atmosphere Press)
Three small words carry the power to undo decades of diet confusion in Stephanie Bernard’s new book, and they are the title itself: Greens Are Free. In this refreshingly honest guide, Physician Assistant, Registered Dietitian, and professor Stephanie Bernard delivers the wisdom gained from classrooms and a career spent in clinics in a simple but radical thesis: good and lasting health isn't found in quick fixes and fad diets, but in the combination of mindset, knowledge, and action. She structures the book in three phases: one, the book rebuild...

The Why Not Advantage: Ho...
Sanjay Manandhar (Rethink Books)
What if the odds you’ve been avoiding were never yours to begin with?In The Why Not Advantage: How Small Probabilities Create Outsized Outcomes, Sanjay Manandhar, who traveled from a Kathmandu home without a telephone to MIT at seventeen, eventually founding companies and helping to bring the Internet to Nepal, argues that probability is not an external fact but a personal calculation.
