Seven books over ten years

Award-winning, best-selling

My business books are for leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs who are ready to look at things differently and do things more mindfully in order to make a positive difference in a changing world.

I don’t pretend to know it all, and many of my books are based on extensive research while others were written through global collaboration. Simply put, I like to do my homework, and teams get things done better!

The Success HealthCheck

This book won awards for its contribution to the profession for the way it addresses both technology and human change and the blurring lines between them. I’m in the process of updating this book, originally published in 2010 with Wiley, to bring you 2020 insights into digitization, disruption, and the eight things that really make a difference for your business in rapidly changing times.

Successful leaders are used to dealing with shifting priorities while getting things done. Their challenge is to know which of their goals are likely to succeed and which might not—or worst still, which might be a write-off. Wiley 2010.

Better Business, Better Life, Better World

This book was inspired by B1G1, a global network of business owners who see business contributing through micro-giving as an essential form of profit. People thought we were crazy to publish this left-field book, but it became a best seller! I contributed to it in my alter identity Booth Aster the Artist (2015)

Rice: Treasured Stories of the World’s Favorite Grain

Yes, this is a book about those little white grains that taste so good with curry. My dad was a scientist at a rice research station and my mum is a writer who collected legends from 16 countries as they traveled. The Booth Aster side of me illustrated them. Not only was this book something my mother dreamed of doing for three decades, but the museum curators at the Asian Civilizations Museum called it “a genuine contribution to culture” when they put it in the Museum Collection.

PS: When I talk about unicorning and doing the impossible, it’s because you can!

To unicorn:
To do the magnificent;
for others the impossible.
In finance, a billion.

Come to think of it, these books are unicorns. A decade ago people said a woman could not publish a book on digital disruption, yet I did with The Success HealthCheck. Rice made it to one of the top Museums in Asia. New Eyes went from idea to launched at Saïd Business School in 12 months. And now, Karma in Action, Karma and Unleash Your Voice each were writing, edited and published in under a year and on the Best Seller List!

If you’ve got insight and wisdom you wish to get out into the world, take a look at Author-ity. It’s the process I use to create, edit, and publish these unicorns for myself and my clients.
