Hustle and Float
OUR CULTURE HAS BECOME OBSESSED WITH HUSTLING. As we struggle to keep up in a knowledge economy that never sleeps, we arm ourselves with life hacks, to-do lists, and an inbox-zero mentality, grasping at anything that will help us work faster, push harder, and produce more. There’s just one problem: most of these solutions are making things worse. Creativity isn’t produced on an assembly line, and endless hustle is ruining our mental and physical health while subtracting from our creative performance. Productivity and Creativity are not compatible; we are stuck between them, and like the opposite poles of a magnet, they are tearing us apart. When we’re told to sleep more, meditate, and slow down, we nod our heads in agreement, yet seem incapable of applying this advice in our own lives. Why do we act against our creative best interests? WE HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO FLOAT. The answer lies in our history, culture, and biology. Instead of focusing on how we work, we must understand why we work—why we believe that what we do determines who we are. Hustle and Float explores how our work culture creates contradictions between what we think we want and what we actually need, and points the way to a more humane, more sustainable, and, yes, more creative, way of working and living.
The Uncertainty Principle
Author: Peter Hinssen

Publisher: Lannoo Meulenhoff - Belgium
Release Date: 2025-06-24
Humanity faces complex global challenges, from technological and geopolitical shocks to social and ecological disruptions. Fear, hesitation, and avoidance won't help us overcome them. Slowing down is not the answer. We must move faster, think bigger, and fully leverage technology to build a future worth striving for. We need active hope and bold leaders who can turn adversity into opportunity. The Uncertainty Principle focuses on the key levers of transformation to help leaders rethink and reshape their companies: strategy, foresight, organizational design, culture, innovation, risk appetite, and the evolving nature of work. Above all, it serves as a guide for those who see cracks in the system not as warnings, but as windows - those daring enough to believe they can change the world, because they are the ones who will. 'As we zoom up the exponential curve of tech-enabled change we all need an optimistic and inspiring guide. Peter Hinssen is that guide. In this new book, Peter describes a "Never Normal world" helping us navigate "between the forces of pessimism and possibility." - Dr Peter Weill, Chairman MIT Center for Information Systems Research (CISR) 'In an age when warnings dominate the conversation, The Uncertainty Principle stands out as a refreshingly optimistic guide. It demonstrates how business leaders can turn disruption into opportunity - not just for their own organizations, but for the world at large.' - Costas Markides, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School 'Uncertainty isn't a threat - it's the raw material for tomorrow's opportunities. This book helps leaders imagine the impossible and install hope to change the future. A must-read!' - David De Cremer, Dean of D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University
