A new release from Forbes Books that makes you wonder if your brain and ChatGPT have more in common than you think.

A twenty-watt organ built the pyramids, wrote symphonies, and invented the machines now learning to think for themselves. That's the paradox at the center of this book.

"Emergence: How Our Twenty-Watt Brains Unlocked Intelligence Beyond Biology" by Bob Burgin traces the surprising path from neuroscience to AI, from a Nobel-winning study of sea slug neurons to an AI that tried to blackmail its own engineers. It's a sharp, timely look at how intelligence emerges — in brains and in code.

If you want to understand where AI actually came from and where it's headed, this is essential reading.

Forbes Books is proud to announce its latest release — a leadership story built in the fire of near-collapse.

"The 24/7 CEO: The Battle for Survival That Helped Build Digital Advertising" by David J. Moore chronicles how he saved his company from the brink of bankruptcy during the dot-com crash. It's a raw look at hard decisions, resilience, and leadership under pressure — one that ends in a $649M acquisition by WPP.

If you're leading through uncertainty right now, this is the crisis manual you didn't know you needed.

Some people may think branding refers just to logos, colors, and taglines. And they'll be missing out on the power that branding holds for their business.

A strong personal brand strategy defines your competitive positioning, your customers' perceptions, and your reputation.

At a minimum, your strategy should answer three questions:

✓ Who are you trying to reach?

✓ What do you want to be known for?

✓ Why are you different from others in your industry?

The clearer those answers become, the easier it is to create content, secure speaking engagements, earn media coverage, build thought leadership, and grow your influence.

Everything gets easier when the foundation is clear.

A book can open the door. The right strategy can take your Authority much further.

We’re proud to help our members create books that reflect their expertise, then help to amplify that message.

As Kevin put it, it’s about knowing how to “leverage authority” the right way.

Thank you for the kind words and for trusting us to be part of your journey! 🙌

Join us in celebrating three powerful new Forbes Books publications!

Each one tackles a different way legacy gets built, protected, or lost: selling the business you built, staffing it with the world's best talent, and keeping it from tearing your family apart.

"The Private Equity Advantage" by Scott Hanson walks owners through the moment of selling: timing, deal structure, and protecting what you built along the way. Hanson's sold multiple companies himself, to both Fortune 500 buyers and PE firms, and brings in bankers, attorneys, and tax specialists to back it up.
🔗 https://a.co/d/0cKWIXNo

"The Global Advantage" by Lorraine D'Alessio makes the case that immigration strategy isn't a legal headache. It's how the smartest companies win the talent war. It's built for the CEOs and HR leaders who need to move fast on hiring without getting blindsided by compliance or policy shifts.
🔗 https://a.co/d/0cGXh3zk

"Legacy Traps" by Alejandro Cárdenas Villa gets at the harder question underneath both: how do you keep the business, and the family behind it, from destroying each other? Drawing on two decades of studying family business failures, he introduces two original frameworks — the Legacy Matrix and the Tanker Model — for spotting the cracks before they become the story.

Three books, one thread: building something that lasts is one thing. Keeping it that way is the real work.

What an incredible night.

It was an honor to host the inaugural Forbes Books × vYve Executive Salon in New York City in partnership with vYve.

One of the most rewarding parts of the evening was the sense of community and seeing so many accomplished leaders come together with a genuine curiosity to learn from one another.

Everyone brought a book that had changed the way they think and shared the impact it had on them. It was incredibly refreshing to hear so many different perspectives and connect in such a meaningful way.

Thank you to our partners at vYve and everyone who joined us for helping make our inaugural NYC Executive Salon such a memorable evening!
