Nearly half of American employees report experiencing burnout, making it one of today’s most urgent workplace challenges. My book was written as both a response to this crisis and a roadmap out of it, helping readers navigate the realities of corporate systems in ways that allow them to move forward with greater clarity and strength. Rather than viewing burnout as an individual failing, it provides practical tools and mindset shifts that empower people to advocate for their needs, set boundaries, and build the staying power required to thrive when work won’t sit still. A key theme is the ripple effect of role modeling: when one person makes small changes visible—whether it’s leaving loudly, prioritizing recovery, or naming what they need—it inspires and legitimizes those behaviors for others, creating momentum toward healthier cultures. Ultimately, the book shows that even in difficult environments, there are often more options and possibilities than people realize.

Headhunter Confidential: The Unwritten Rules for Landing a Job You Love helps people find work they actually want to wake up for, which is especially important when job security feels shaky and modern career paths keep shifting.
With today’s layoffs and industry upheaval, many people are being forced to reconsider what they do for a living. This book reframes that disruption as an opportunity. Instead of just scrambling for any job, readers learn to pause and figure out what kind of work energizes them, then go after positions that fit. The book shows how to identify your actual strengths, connect with people who can help, and stand out when competition is fierce.
The strategies work whether you've been downsized, are stuck in a toxic workplace, took a break from work, or just realized life's too short to spend it doing work you don't care about.

How do we find work that fulfills and sustains us? Can we choose professional joy over suffering?

We are suffering from an epidemic. Of suffering and disillusionment. Research shows that as many as 90% of us aren't engaged in our work. 60% say they aren't fulfilled by their jobs and a staggering 20% say its a source of misery in their lives.

A Groundhog Career, through a combination of the hugely entertaining Shey Sinope fable, and the accompanying deeply insightful and thought-provoking analysis from Drs Schuster & Oxley, illustrates the absurdities, temptations, rationalizations, consequences and compromises faced by anyone who wants to succeed in a world where all the power seems to be in the entrenched organizational systems. It also reveals how to be more aware of the risks, to stay aligned with your core identity and your convictions, and ultimately how to take control of your own career journey… to live professional life on your own terms.

This is not your typical business book!

We are all born creative and curious, but that sense of play and imagination gets squeezed out of us by the time most of us enter adulthood.
Think of The Imagination Emporium as a cherished recipe book, a well-worn
companion that busy people, like you, can dip in and out of, filled with useful ingredients to empower you with innovative solutions for your business, be it big or small.
Why? Because Duncan Wardle believes that the skills we’re born with—Creativity, Empathy, Curiosity, and Imagination—will be some of the most sought-after skill sets of the next decade, as they will be the hardest to program into AI.
In a world where we learn a vast variety of subjects, one thing often goes untaught: “HOW to actually Innovate.”
This book is here to change that by showing you the way to innovate, generate creative ideas, and bring them to life.
Let the journey begin!
