The definitive guide to Expected Goals analysis (xG) from a world-respected football analysis expert and bestselling author.The Expected Goals method, otherwise known as 'xG' measures the quality of chances that teams and players have at creating and conceding goals. Every shot which takes place in a football match carries an xG value: a shot from twenty-five yards might be worth 0.02(xG) and a tap in from inside the six-yard box would be 0.90(xG) while a penalty shot always amounts to 0.77(xG).Initially used by betting companies and football clubs, the Expected Goals method has now made it into mainstream media with regular appearances on major broadcasting channels. The statistic is also a regular discussion point among football fans as they learn how to use the data to evaluate their favourite team's fortune. Will a team's undisturbed run of wins last? Football clubs, big and small, now turn to analysts to dissect each player's every action and Premier League giants use the data to identify hidden gems in the transfer market and scout upcoming opponents. Did you know that only about one in every nine shots in the Premier League ends up as a goal? Why Brighton are the unluckiest team in football history? What the 'Timo Werner paradox' is? How xG has changed how teams play football? James Tippett answers these questions and more in this definitive guide to Expected Goals analysis through real-life examples.

**New York Times Bestseller** Comedic actor, producer, and writer Rainn Wilson, cofounder of the media company SoulPancake, explores the problem-solving benefits that spirituality gives us to create solutions for an increasingly challenging world.   The trauma that our struggling species has experienced in recent years—because of both the pandemic and societal tensions that threaten to overwhelm us—is not going away anytime soon. Existing political and economic systems are not enough to bring the change that the world needs. In this book, Rainn Wilson explores the possibility and hope for a spiritual revolution, a “Soul Boom,” to find a healing transformation on both a personal and global level For Wilson, this is a serious and essential pursuit, but he brings great humor and his own unique perspective to the conversation. He feels that, culturally, we’ve discounted spirituality—faith and the sacred—and we need profound healing and a unifying understanding of the world that the great spiritual traditions provide. Wilson’s approach to spirituality—the non-physical, eternal aspects of ourselves—is relatable and applies to people of all beliefs, even the skeptics. Filled with genuine insight—not to mention enlightening Kung Fu and Star Trek references—Soul Boom delves into ancient wisdom to seek out practical, transformative answers to life’s biggest questions.

Engage the science of positivity for greater health and happiness.Gratitude is a powerful emotion that conveys appreciation for a moment that has touched you in some way and moves you to express thankfulness. When you experience gratitude, your brain releases neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, resulting in a host of tangible benefits associated with positive thinking and emotions. Practiced regularly, gratitude literally rewires your brain to be more optimistic, flexible, and joyful, while simultaneously reducing stress and anxiety, building resilience to adversity, and strengthening your immune system, cardiac health, sleep hygiene, and more. These many positive changes to your health and well-being are “the gratitude effect,” and because these effects are cumulative, the more you practice gratitude, the greater its impact over time. With The Gratitude Effect Positivity Journal, you’ll engage your brain’s neuroplasticity to reshape your worldview—and retrain your brain for greater joy, resiliency, and personal empowerment.  A simple framework using brief moments of gratitude to override negativity bias and adopt a positive mindset Practical strategies to overcome negative thinking, grounded in neuroscience and positive psychology  A 90-day gratitude journal with intention setting to cultivate positive thinking in just a few minutes a day Inspirational quotations, tips, and writing prompts to get positivity flowing on days when you feel stuck

In this acclaimed bestseller, an explorer and Neanderthal hunter takes us on a riveting journey of discovery'With the style of a poet and imagination of a philosopher, Ludovic Slimak probes the minds of Neanderthals. . . This fun and provocative book is a reminder that we still have a lot to learn about biological intelligence' Steve BrusatteWhat if we have completely misunderstood who the Neanderthals truly were?For over a century we saw them as inferior to Homo Sapiens. Today, Neanderthals are seen as fully human, different from us only because of their distant cultural traditions. But does the truth lie somewhere else entirely?Neanderthal hunter and paleoanthropologist Ludovic Slimak understands these enigmatic creatures like no one else after studying them for three decades. Taking us on a fascinating archaeological investigation from the Arctic Circle to the deep Mediterranean forests, he traces their steps, deciphering their stories through every single detail they left behind.In this stunning, bold book, he argues that Neanderthals should be understood on their own terms. They had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence. A remarkable intelligence, for sure, but an intelligence that may have been very different from ours - although it can still teach us much about ourselves.A thought-provoking detective story, written with wit and verve, The Naked Neanderthal shifts our understanding of deep history - and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.
