Deepak Chopra MD, FACP

In DC Comics‘ DC Universe, a metahuman is a human with superpowers. However, for bestselling author Deepak Chopra, to be metahuman isn’t science fiction and is certainly not about being a superhero. To be metahuman means to move past the limitations constructed by the mind and to enter a new state of awareness in which we have deliberate and concrete access to peak experiences that can transform our lives from the inside out.

In his highly anticipated new book, METAHUMAN (Harmony Books; on sale October 1, 2019), Chopra explains how we all have the potential to venture beyond daily living and experience a heightened state of awareness, and to unlock the secrets to moving beyond our present limitations to access a field of infinite possibilities.

Humans do this naturally—to a point. For centuries the great artists, scientists, writers, and even many so-called ordinary people have gone beyond the everyday physical world. But if we could channel these often bewildering experiences, what would happen? Chopra argues we would awaken to experiences that would blow open our bodies, minds, and souls. METAHUMAN invites the reader to walk the path here and now. Waking up, we learn, isn’t just about mindfulness or meditation. To become metahuman is to expand our consciousness in all that we think, say, and do.

By going beyond, we can liberate ourselves from old conditioning and all the mental constructs that underlie anxiety, tension, and ego-driven demands. Without these pressures, life can make sense as never before. To make this as practical as possible, Chopra ends the book with a 31-day guide to becoming metahuman. Once you wake up, he writes, life becomes transformed, because pure consciousness—which is the field of all possibilities—dawns in your life. Only then does your infinite potential become your personal reality.

With METAHUMAN, Chopra unfolds a path for waking up that allows each of us to realize our infinite potential.

Leadership is one of the world’s oldest professions. There are countless resources for one to learn about leadership and do in-depth study. In this book, my goal is not to provide a scholarly tome, but rather to provide emerging leaders simple messages for guidance and success. I do this through 140 simple messages that have helped me navigate life.

Why am I providing 140 messages, some have asked? Why not use traditional numbers, like five, ten, or 100? The answer is very simple. We are living at a time when Twitter and its 140-character limitation (now 280) is being used by leaders in all areas of life and at all levels of organizations. Some leaders are exemplary in their use of Twitter, and others less than exemplary. My goal is to leverage the zeitgeist we are living in to show how by using the limited characters allowed by Twitter, leaders can communicate strong messages that make a positive impact on people’s lives. For that reason, this actionable leadership journal contains 140 Twitter-length messages written as a guide for emerging leaders on living, learning, and developing themselves and others on their journey to success.

Additionally, I have become convinced of the power of well-crafted short messages for another reason. I was a Forbes contributor for a year. As a member of the Forbes Coaches Council during that year, I contributed to thirty question-and-answer columns. The answers to the Q&As I submitted to Forbes were required to be 400 characters or fewer. This is slightly longer than Twitter’s new 280-character limit. Some of the columns I appeared in were read by as few as 2,000 people. My most popular column, however, was read by more than 30,000 people. This clearly shows that people found value in our succinct messages and shared them with others. Hence, I believe there is value in the messages contained in this book designed to be an actionable leadership journal.

Cracking the Curiosity Code: The Key to Unlocking Human Potential:  Curiosity is one of the most analyzed, discussed, and written about topics in the study of human behavior. We have learned that it is innate from birth, as illustrated by the phrase, childlike curiosity. We have learned that it is essential to the survival of the entire animal kingdom. We have learned that the most successful leaders and entrepreneurs attribute their success to sustaining their childlike curiosity, while many people’s sense of curiosity tends to wane or deteriorate as they age. For the longest time, we attributed that diminished state of curiosity to the aging process itself. But studies have shown that is not the case. Why do we lose our childlike curiosity? What are the causes; and what are the consequences? Most importantly, how do we get it back? That is the essence of this book. Complete with the latest research, interviews with top leaders and entrepreneurs, and analysis, the author presents her case that, our fears, our assumptions, technology, and our environment, are the major factors that contribute to our diminished curiosity. Those causes, which she has reduced to the acronym, F. A. T. E., are examined, with the means for the reader to measure each, and take the necessary action to regain their childlike curiosity. Learn How to Get it Back – Scientific studies have demonstrated that success in the workplace and living as a healthy human being are heavily dependent on curiosity. But many people tend to lose their curiosity. Cracking the Curiosity Code helps the reader determine what causes their lack of curiosity, and how to get it back.

Discover 25 proven strategies any size organization or individual can use to accelerate innovation and growth with the low risk and high confidence certainty provides.

Technology-driven change is accelerating at an exponential rate, and organizations of all sizes are finding that reacting to problems and digital disruptions, no matter how agile you or your organization are, is no longer good enough. In addition, moving exponentially fast in the wrong direction will only get you into trouble faster!

The Anticipatory Organization, a powerful new book by leading futurist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Burrus, now gives readers the ability to accelerate innovation and growth by learning how to anticipate disruptive problems and game-changing opportunities before they happen. It’s about developing the anticipatory mindset that will elevate your plans and the way you approach your business, your industry, and your customers to produce transformational results. In a world filled with uncertainty, it provides the confidence needed to make bold moves.

Inspired by the dramatic results organizations obtain from Burrus’ award-winning learning system of the same name, The Anticipatory Organization offers a comprehensive new way to pinpoint and act upon enormous untapped opportunities by identifying the forces that are shaping the future so a company or an individual business leader can plan accordingly.

You’ve heard the expression that the future holds only two certainties—death and taxes. Author Burrus, however, suggests the opposite. In The Anticipatory Organization, he shows his readers that the future is far more certain than we realize, and by learning his Anticipatory Skills such as the ones listed below, they can elevate their relevancy and impact in a world of transformational change:

  • How to elevate planning by distinguishing Hard Trends that will happen, from Soft Trends that might happen;
  • How to anticipate and pre-solve problems before you have them;
  • How to use Hard Trend certainties to accelerate innovation and results;
  • How to take your biggest problem—and skip it;
  • How to turn disruption you thought was outside of your control, into innovations that you, yourself control.

Digital transformation has divided the world into two camps: the disruptor and the disrupted. The Anticipatory Organization gives readers the tools they need to make that choice, rather than waiting for others to make it for them.

Why didn’t a cab driver think of starting Uber, or Marriott think of Airbnb? Why did companies like Sony, Dell, Blackberry, Sears, to name only a few—who all knew how to be agile and execute strategy—rapidly fall behind? And what about small companies, entrepreneurs, and individuals who are blindsided by change and forced to close their doors or lose their jobs?

They all couldn’t react fast enough to the exponential rate of change. None of them knew how to anticipate and profit from change says the author. The ability to anticipate the future is a skill that can be learned. In today’s business landscape, it is the biggest missing competency.

With business and political uncertainty at global all-time highs, it’s imperative to learn to find the opportunity—where others see challenge and disruption. As the rate of change accelerates, uncertainty and disruption also accelerate. The importance of being able to anticipate disruptive problems and new opportunities will become increasingly important.

Says Burrus, “It’s true that you cannot predict everything, but you can accurately predict more than enough to elevate plans, accelerate innovation, and transform results.”

Daniel Burrus has been helping leaders to see and shape the future for over 30 years. The Anticipatory Organization synthesizes his proven strategies, which can be used by leaders and managers within an organization as well as entrepreneurs and individuals alike.

Most of us don’t seek advice or reach out to others for help very easily. In part, it’s because we’re conditioned to see life as an individual endeavor rather than a team sport. Or because we believe that asking for help makes us look weak or incapable. We regard self-help as by-yourself-help. News flash: no one in the history of the world has ever achieved any level of happiness or success totally by themselves.

In his 1976 book The Long Run Solution, Joe Henderson suggested that becoming truly accomplished at running (or at anything) doesn’t typically require us to perform superhuman feats. In fact, success is frequently realized by those who simply do the things anyone can do that most of us never will. In What Anyone Can Do, with the help of Leo Bottary Year of the Peer podcasts guests (and playful illustrations by Ryan Foland), you’ll discover that if you surround yourself with the right people, you’ll do the things anyone can do far more often. And when you do that, you and the people around you will realize more of what you want out of business and life. It’s that simple.
