Entrepreneurs start businesses to be their own bosses, but if the job you made for yourself feels more like a grind than a labor of love, it’s time to abandon someone else’s vision of success so you can achieve professional and personal freedom.

Mark Rampolla thought he knew what he wanted when he started Zico Coconut Water: success and then freedom. But even after selling the company to Coca-Cola for over $200 million, he still felt bound by unconscious conditioning, limiting beliefs, outdated dreams, and the relentless hustle culture of entrepreneurship.

Through deep personal work—and by guiding hundreds of other entrepreneurs and leaders—Rampolla discovered a new path to access and sustain true freedom, even while running multiple businesses. He developed a system of seven actionable steps to build his dreams, redefine success for himself, and be present in every day of his journey. It led to more freedom than he ever imagined possible and, surprisingly, even greater success. And, now, he wants that for you. Not someday. Now.

What if freedom isn’t something you earn at the end, but something you can begin with and carry with you every step of the way? It’s time to live your best life—one that’s richer, freer, and more fulfilling than anything you’ve dared to imagine. It’s time for An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Freedom.

For women in America today, the promise of “having it all” is an ever-elusive carrot. Faced with unsustainable demands in every sphere, we are certainly doing it all—but at a steep cost. Research shows that biologically, culturally, and economically, we are on uneven playing ground and one that drains us of our happiness. But that same data can empower us to make choices that will reclaim our time, our energy—and even our joy.

In Having It All, Wharton professor and economist Corinne Low, Ph.D., unpacks the hidden factors that influence women’s decision-making and how the unintended consequences of these choices alter the course of our lives. From when and whether to get married and (or) have children to what type of career to pursue, whether to obtain an advanced degree to where to live—Low explores questions such as:

• What if there is no optimal time to “have a family” but rather a slew of different considerations at different life stages?
• What if we approached decisions around marriage and partnership as rigorously as we would an employment opportunity?
• What if we valued our time in dollars and cents, and structured our lives around choices that give us the greatest return on our investments?

For too long, women have been expected to accept labor-intensive solutions to systemic problems—optimize, lean in, work harder. But Low isn’t suggesting women need to do more.

In the tradition of bestselling books like Eve Rodsky’s Fair Play and Emily Oster’s Cribsheet, Having It All blends personal experience, research, and analysis to illuminate the complex decisions women face and offers an evidence-based framework for creating a better, happier life. Consider it the essential economics textbook for life as a woman—but hopefully, a little more fun.

My prayers are my poems are my prayers. I’ve always relied on logic to make sense of myself and the world.

A prescriptionist at heart, I’ve always looked to reason to find the rhyme, the practical to get to the mystical, the choreography to find the dance, the proof to get to the truth, and reality to get to the dream.

I’ve been finding that tougher to do lately. It’s more than hard to know what to believe in; it’s hard to believe. But I don’t want to quit believing, and I don’t want to stop believing in humanity, you, myself, our potential.

I think it’s time for us to flip the script on what’s historically been our means of making sense and instead open our aperture to enchantment and look to faith, belief, and dreams for our reality. Let’s sing more than we might make sense, believe in more than the world can conclude, get more impressed with the wow instead of the how, let inspiration interrupt our appointments, dream our way to reality, serve some soul food to our hungry heads, put proof on the shelf for a season, and rhyme our way to reason.

Forget logic, certainty, owning, or making a startup company of it; let’s go beyond what we can merely imagine and believe in the poetry of life.

In 1929, the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a devastating freefall, wiping out fortunes overnight and igniting a crisis that would reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicked traders, another drama unfolded—one of visionaries and fraudsters, titans and dreamers, euphoria and ruin.

With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash, following the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and blind faith in an endless boom led to devastation. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today’s world—where markets soar, political tensions mount, and the battle over financial influence plays out once again.

This is not just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power, human psychology, and the seductive illusion that “this time is different.” It’s about ignored warning signs, financiers who fell from grace, and skeptics who saw the crash coming—only to be dismissed until it was too late.

Hailed as a landmark book, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are told. Now, with 1929, Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time—one whose lessons remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril.

Ever wonder why some of our most effective leaders aren’t known for the skills we’ve been told are essential for great leadership? Would you describe Elon Musk or Steve Jobs as having empathy or humility? Of course not, and yet they’ve led teams that achieved extraordinary results. So, what leadership attributes, habits, and skills do cause teams to become more than the sum of their parts? Why does a team made of up superstars often underperform? What causes teams to work together effectively and produce high team intelligence?

For the past 15 years, behavioral scientist and New York Times bestselling author Jon Levy has gathered thousands of the most respected leaders from across industry—Nobel Laureates, Olympic team captains, astronauts who commanded the ISS, military leaders, and corporate CEOs—to find answers to these questions. In Team Intelligence, he unpacks the myths that hold leaders and their teams back and points out the paradox of success: focusing on creating teams that operate well is what makes an effective leader, but focusing purely on the leader does almost nothing for the team.

In Team Intelligence, discover cutting-edge research, surprising stories, and the essential habits that unlock collective genius.
