In Advocacy: Championing Ideas and Influencing Others, Daly explains in full detail how to transform ideas into practice.

Morris argues that our psychology is wired by evolution in three distinctive ways.

We live in a society where kids and parents are obsessed with early achievement, from getting perfect scores on SATs to getting into Ivy League colleges to landing an amazing job at Google or Facebook - or even better, creating a start-up with the potential to be the next Google or Facebook or Uber.
