Every marketer tells a story. And if they do it right, we believe them. We believe that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an $80,000 Porsche Cayenne is vastly superior to a $36,000 VW Touareg, which is virtually the same car. We believe that $225 Pumas will make our feet feel better, and look cooler, than $20 no-names... and believing it makes it true.

We live at the bottom of an ocean of air - 5,200 million million tons, to be exact. It sounds like a lot, but Earth’s atmosphere is smeared onto its surface in an alarmingly thin layer - 99 percent contained within 18 miles. Yet, within this fragile margin lies a magnificent realm - at once gorgeous, terrifying, capricious, and elusive. With his keen eye for identifying and uniting seemingly unrelated events, Chris Dewdney reveals to us the invisible rivers in the sky that affect how our weather works and the structure of clouds and storms and seasons, the rollercoaster of climate.

Story
In our unique genomes, every one of us carries the story of our species - births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex. But those stories have always been locked away - until now. Who are our ancestors? Where did they come from? Geneticists have suddenly become historians, and the hard evidence in our DNA has completely upended what we thought we knew about ourselves. Acclaimed science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story - from 100,000 years ago to the present.

Publisher's Summary
Multiple studies show a clear link between businesses that attend to their employees’ well-being and the bottom line. In fact, the profit of companies with the strongest focus on employee experience is about four times higher than the average. And yes, you read that correctly - not customer experience, but employee experience. Because if you take care of your employees, they will take care of your customers, and your shareholders will do well, too. How to Build a Thriving Workplace: A Leader’s Guide will tell you how to identify and implement relatively simple and inexpensive changes to improve your employees’ work environment and positively impact your bottom line.
Professor Beth Cabrera, organizational psychologist and Senior Scholar at the George Mason University Center for the Advancement of Well-Being, provides a step-by-step guide to creating the best possible work environment for your employees to thrive, based on the relatively new science of positive psychology. She will discuss the benefits of mindfulness training, developing positive attitudes, creating a sense of meaning, work relationships, employee autonomy, and more - and how they lead to a thriving workplace where employees are more creative, engaged, and productive. How to Build a Thriving Workplace: A Leader’s Guide will give you all the information you need to transform your workplace into an attractive and thriving environment.

This course was far better than most business books I’ve read (and I’ve read a lot) it makes the book “Dare to lead” look like a joke.

Good, not Great
Unlike other lectures of The Great Courses, this one is clearly not being recorded from a classroom. The lecturer is reading from her notes and often misreads or loses her place. The result is a more sterile presentation. She brings up good points, but it’s not as pleasant of a listen as it could’ve been.

Good, Not Great
This was a decent lecture series with some meaningful insights. It seemed to focus a lot on the ability to increase productivity through employee wellness, but if a manager or business owner is focusing on tactical improvements in e.ployee wellness solely for the incremental increases in productivity then that is the exact mindset that may end up being counterproductive. This very well may be worth a listen for those looking for ideas on how to improve their workplace, but I preferred the Transformational Leadership lecture series by Michael A. Roberto.

Solid info.
Good detail. Might be known but spoken about regarding team perspective. I get that studies need to back the detail but that feels repetitive and could be in a notes section.
