For millions of us work feels like The Office - only less funny. We’re drowning in nonsense, whilst pretending it’s all perfectly rational. But where did all this bullshit come from? Why is it so universal? And how do we make it go away? Dysfunction is everywhere. Employee engagement is dismal across the globe. Corporate greed and scandals are our daily bread. Many of us are in a constant state of stress at work, and some have burnt out. There’s an epidemic of work-related mental health issues. The bad news is that your organisation is massively dysfunctional. The good news is that it’s not unique. Many billions have been wasted on endless interventions—transformation, restructuring, management consultants, leadership gurus, new technologies, and astronomical remuneration for superstar CEOs. Why have all these efforts failed to move the dial? Why do almost all organisations seem destined to be mediocre at best? From blind acceptance of hierarchy to pseudoscience research, management fads, and the soundbites of self-proclaimed gurus, we are continuously sold simplistic solutions that promise to improve everything. But they never do. They simply trap us in a doom loop of nonsense that conspires to protect our organisations from any assault by common sense. To understand how we got here will require us to weave together strands from diverse disciplines - systems thinking, complexity theory, anthropology, psychology, social science and behavioural economics. It turns out that there are multiple factors at play, internal and external forces that converge on the world of work and create self-reinforcing loops and belief systems that ensure we make the same mistakes repeatedly. This is the story of how we got here, why we keep falling for the same nonsense, and what we can do to change the misguided belief systems that collectively prevent us from reaching a better future at work.

Learning Electrodynamics doesn’t have to be boring What if there was a way to learn Electrodynamics without all the usual fluff? What if there were a book that allowed you to see the whole picture and not just tiny parts of it? Thoughts like this are the reason that No-Nonsense Electrodynamics now exists. What will you learn from this book? Get to know all fundamental electrodynamical concepts —Grasp why we can describe electromagnetism using the electric and magnetic field, the electromagnetic field tensor and the electromagnetic potential and how these concepts are connected.Learn to describe Electrodynamics mathematically — Understand the meaning and origin of the most important equations: Maxwell’s equations & the Lorentz force law.Master the most important electrodynamical systems — read step-by-step calculations and understand the general algorithm we use to describe them.Get an understanding you can be proud of — Learn why Special Relativity owes its origins to Electrodynamics and how we can understand it as a gauge theory. No-Nonsense Electrodynamics is the most student-friendly book on Electrodynamics ever written. Here’s why. First of all, it's is nothing like a formal university lecture. Instead, it’s like a casual conservation with a more experienced student. This also means that nothing is assumed to be “obvious” or “easy to see”.Each chapter, each section, and each page focusses solely on the goal to help you understand. Nothing is introduced without a thorough motivation and it is always clear where each formula comes from.The book contains no fluff since unnecessary content quickly leads to confusion. Instead, it ruthlessly focusses on the fundamentals and makes sure you’ll understand them in detail. The primary focus on the readers’ needs is also visible in dozens of small features that you won’t find in any other textbook In total, the book contains more than 100 illustrations that help you understand the most important concepts visually. In each chapter, you’ll find fully annotated equations and calculations are done carefully step-by-step. This makes it much easier to understand what’s going on in.Whenever a concept is used which was already introduced previously, there is a short sidenote that reminds you where it was first introduced and often recites the main points. In addition, there are summaries at the beginning of each chapter that make sure you won’t get lost.
