An Unlikely Survival
$50.00
Exploring over 75 years of Australian welfare policyAn Unlikely Survival takes us through three-quarters of a century of welfare politics in Australia, to contests about political principles, and about what we think is the common good. As both economy and society were transformed, the need for government assistance, alongside the growth of civil society advocacy, became a core part of political debates. John Murphy traces the evolution of welfare, government by government, from Menzies to Morrison, from the postwar era of full male employment to neoliberalism, deregulation and globalism. He ranges across policy areas well beyond Centrelink payments, from wage fixing to work-for-the-dole, from childcare to middle-class tax benefits, from family payments to superannuation, from aged care to Indigenous welfare, and from Medicare and to disability support. How did the Hawke-Keating governments square neoliberal economics with reforming social welfare? What did successive governments retain, modify or dismantle? Who were the civil society actors who fought for and against different initiatives? What accounts for the unlikely survival and refurbishment of our welfare system in a world of more diverse families, globalisation, unemployment and the entrenchment of the working poor? An Unlikely Survival explores, and attempts to answer some profound questions about policy action and social justice in the past and in contemporary Australia and asks- do we actually want a fairer society-and are we prepared to pay for it?

Beating Burnout
$24.99
Beating Burnout A comprehensive guide to the reasons behind burnout, with effective, practical ways to manage and prevent burnout to create a more balanced future.Burnout is a phenomenon that can happen to anyone, yet it is most often found in high-pressured workplaces, especially those where promotions and target achievement are valued. In this timely book, clinical psychologist Mike McKinney takes an informed look at the features of burnout, why and how burnout happens, and the signs it might be about to strike.After noticing an increase in patients struggling with burnout in their work roles, Mike McKinney used his extensive experience to gain a better understanding behind the reasons for this growth. What he found was that there are common underlying personality traits in an individual that can result in an increased vulnerability towards the development of burnout.While workplace changes are often touted as the answer to burnout, the author draws on his clinical experience over more than 25 years to show the reader what is within their power to change about themselves, so they can create greater resilience to burnout and a better balance in life. He deftly demonstrates how particular personality traits can contribute towards burnout, such as: - the quest for perfection - fear of failure- beliefs around personal performance- having an ‘all-or-nothing’ approach- holding impossibly high personal expectations.The author then provides options and answers, along with suggestions for positive changes that can be sustained, and offers ways to help the reader consider a wider (and possibly new) purpose in life that is underpinned by ways to enhance resilience.Beating Burnout is an insightful, practical book for professionals and anyone experiencing burnout, as well as those who would like to help someone in burnout.

Deficit
$36.99
Invisible Women meets Doughnut Economics- An international bestseller from an exciting new voice in the feminist space<p>*AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*WINNER OF THE POLITIKEN LITERATURE PRIZE 2024'Brilliantly rewrites the history of economic thought to place 'her story' at its heart. A must-read' - Kate Raworth, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS'One of the most important feminist voices of the 21st century . . . The book about capitalism we didn't know we needed' - Sofie HagenIn 2020, the prominent Danish feminist Emma Holten read an article stating that women were a net 'deficit' to society. Women took more than they gave, 'draining' the public purse by giving birth and taking parental leave. They contributed less than their fair share in taxes, because they often worked part-time to look after other people at home, or held low-paidjobs in the public sector. Denmark would be richer if women's lives looked more like men's, the economic experts concluded. A similar story is told around the globe.How did we get here? In Deficit, Emma Holten traces how economic thinkers - from the Enlightenment onwards - created a value framework that overlooked and neglected 'women's work' and acts of care. She reveals how the economic models that drive political decisions today are just as flawed, giving us unparalleled monetary wealth, but causing deep social harms that are hurting us all.If we cannot properly value the things that matter, how can we build a better future?</p>

How Countries Go Broke
$59.99
How Countries Go BrokeAn urgent warning about the American economy from Ray Dalio, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Principles. Do big government debts threaten our collective well-being? Are there limits to debt growth? Can a big, important reserve currency country like the United States really go broke – and what would that look like? For decades, politicians, policymakers and investors have debated these questions, but the answers have eluded them. In this groundbreaking book, Ray Dalio, one of the greatest investors of our time who anticipated the 2008 global financial crisis and the 2010–12 European debt crisis, shares for the first time his detailed explanation of what he calls the 'Big Debt Cycle'. Understanding this cycle is critical for helping policymakers, investors and the general public grasp where we are and where we are headed with the debt issue. Dalio's model points toward surprisingly straightforward solutions for dealing with the debt problems that the US, Europe, Japan and China face today. How Countries Go Broke also shows how these debt problems are related to the other forces – political within countries, geopolitical between countries, natural (droughts, floods and pandemics) and technological (most importantly, AI) – that together are causing what Dalio calls the 'Overall Big Cycle' changes in the world order. By reading this book, you will improve your understanding of what's happening now and what to do about it.

Kind: The Quiet Power Of Kindness At Work
$34.99
What if someone told you the key to success was kindness?While it doesn't always make headlines, there is a growing recognition that kindness is vital to strong performance at work. In the broad range of leadership skills, kindness is inherently quieter, more personal and harder to see and yes, less interesting or cinematic than controversial tweets and 'bullying boss' behaviour. But kindness builds empathy and trust, which ultimately creates a sense of psychological safety and that safety leads to more creativity; a better quality of decision-making; safer critical thinking; higher levels of staff loyalty, flexibility and retention; a heightened sense of engagement; and, ultimately, higher productivity and profitability.In KIND, Graham Allcott explores how we can create work cultures that encourage kindness. He argues that, far from being a 'fluffy' or nebulous idea, kindness and empathy are 21st century superpowers, which can transform any organization into a dynamic environment where people want to work. The author aims to convince the doubters, as well as helping already 'kindful' people, to articulate the power of kindness and make a stronger case for its greater profile in their working environments.Drawing on psychology and neuroscience as well as management theory and business research, he shows how kindness helps encourage productive and positive work cultures. From busting three important myths that need to be addressed to engage the more cynical reader or the reader's more cynical colleagues to covering 'The Eight Principles of Kindfulness at Work', Graham Allcott offers practical advice on how to make kindfulness part of the fabric of your working life so both you and your team can thrive.

Leaders Eat Last
$26.99
Leaders Eat LastThe highly anticipated follow up to Simon Sinek's global bestseller Start with WhyImagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work. This is not a crazy, idealised notion. In many successful organisations, great leaders are creating environments in which teams trust each other so deeply that they would put their lives on the line for each other.Yet other teams, no matter what incentives were offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why?Today's workplaces tend to be full of cynicism, paranoia and self-interest. But the best organisations foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a Circle of Safety. It separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Everyone feels they belong and all energies are devoted to facing the common enemy and seizing big opportunities.As in Start with Why, Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories, from the military to manufacturing, from government to investment banking. He shows that leaders who are willing to eat last are rewarded with deeply loyal colleagues who will stop at nothing to advance their vision. It's amazing how well it works.
