Paperback

A new edition of Devora Zack's classic bestseller (over 120,000 sold in 15 languages) on networking techniques that leverage the strengths of the mingling-averse, updated throughout, with two new chapters.


An international bestseller, Devora Zack's book flipped networking on its head, challenging the narrative that most books on networking recommended, which offered little or even bad advice for the 25 percent of the population who are introverts. In contrast, Zack tells introverts that they do not need to mimic extroverted networking styles, and instead shows how introverts' natural traits can actually be highly successful networking strategies. This new edition integrates real life examples shared by readers of the first edition to enrich the narrative. It also updates the interactive survey from the first edition and includes revisions to consider digital networking and tools, such as Instagram, which didn't exist when the first edition was published, asking questions such as “What is the role, if any, of Emojis? What about the emergence of virtual conferences?” The second edition will also discuss sensitivity to generational differences to accommodate the growth of millennials in the workforce, working with older workers and how to strengthen their relationships.

Islamist terrorism is not about religion, says Leena Al Olaimy, an Arab Muslim, Dalai Lama Fellow, and social entrepreneur. She identifies the economic, social, and political factors that are its true driving forces and offers innovative strategies to address them that have proven far more effective than military interventions alone.


Sixteen years ago during Ramadan, Leena Al Olaimy was a senior at New York University volunteering at Ground Zero. Ironically, she, a practicing Muslim, was assigned to distribute food to the rescue workers. Angered by what her religion had come to represent, and at those brandishing their perverted version of it, she embarked on lifelong research into the root of extremism.

While terrorism experts are unlikely to reach a consensus on the instigators, nor discover an algorithm explaining violent extremism; there is one common thread present through the narratives of terrorists. In some shape or form, they have all suffered from social, economic, or political exclusion. Most critically, this creates an inner turmoil, resulting in the delusion that martyrdom can bring glory. Yet throughout history, many marginalized peoples have not retaliated with such senseless violence, so what inner and outer enabling conditions drive individuals who have radicalized in the name of Islam? And more importantly, what solutions lie in our personal power to address them? This book examines these questions through a spiritual lens, reflecting on absolutism, moral humility, and the potential ‘fundamentalist' in all of us, including the perils of justifying a “noble pursuit” using immoral means; and the parallels between interpretations of scripture to justify violence, with interpretations of scripture to vilify religion. Current counter-terrorism measures are counterproductive. This book offers creative, evidence-based solutions to remedy the consequences of counter-terrorism policies that exacerbate exclusion. Al Olaimy argues there is a way to better invest in peace as individuals, entrepreneurs, policy-makers, and civil society.
