Where's My Group?
How we can restore the biology of human belonging.
Coming soon.
Most self-help works on the individual nervous system in isolation. But the human nervous system was never designed to regulate alone; it evolved to synchronize with a small group, share the load, and access a level of collective intelligence that no individual can generate on their own.
Where's My Group? makes the case that self-help has a structural blind spot — and that the missing piece isn't more individual work. It's the group.
This is the book that introduces Group Sync to a general audience. It draws on 20 years of influencing group fields in America's highest-stakes courtrooms, and on the neuroscience of co-regulation, evolutionary developmental biology, and what actually happens when a group of human beings finally syncs.
Beyond Bullet Points
The visual storytelling classic — now in its 4th edition
"Throw away those room-emptying, left-brain slides — and use Atkinson's book to turn your presentation into an epic." — Dan Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind
Beyond Bullet Points has been called the book that changed how the world presents. Published by Microsoft Press, translated into a dozen languages, sold in 125,000+ copies, and named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon — it remains the definitive guide to visual storytelling for anyone who needs to persuade, inform, or move an audience.
The methodology behind this book is what took Cliff Atkinson from writing articles about PowerPoint to helping win a $253 million verdict in the nation's first Vioxx trial — and billions in verdicts since.
