• An uplifting and empowering book that shows how all of us can consciously direct human evolution towards a better future — and steer away from a self-destructive course. The book draws on Eastern spiritual traditions (Vedanta, Tantra, Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism) and Western philosophy and sciences (quantum physics, neuroscience) to show how all of us — as entrepreneurs, business leaders, policy makers, nonprofit and citizen groups — can expand our (self) awareness and tap into abundant inner resources—love, ingenuity, wisdom—to co-build inclusive, healthy, and sustainable communities that value quality of life over quantity in life.
• This genre-defying/defining book will feature over 50 inspiring initiatives to build caring “human-centric” communities worldwide. Offering a strong antidote to our mainstream culture, Radjou offers an alternative conscious approach to consuming, working, relating, living, and being.
• This book presents an optimistic and empowering alternative to the techno-centric, deterministic, and dystopian view of the future depicted in Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus.

• Innovation is a key directive at companies worldwide. But in these tough times, we can't rely on the old formula that has sustained innovation efforts for decades—expensive R&D projects and highly-structured innovation processes. Jugaad Innovation argues the West must look to places like India, Brazil, and China for a new approach to frugal and flexible innovation. The authors show how in these emerging markets, jugaad (a Hindi word meaning an improvised solution born from ingenuity and cleverness) is leading to dramatic growth and how Western companies can adopt jugaad innovation to succeed in our hypercompetitive world. Filled with previously untold and engaging stories of resourceful jugaad innovators and entrepreneurs in emerging markets and the US, this groundbreaking book shows leaders everywhere why the time is right for jugaad to emerge as a powerful business tool in the West—and how to bring jugaad practices to their organizations.
