The Affection Advantage is a full-length exploration of values-led growth, leadership, and decision-making — offering a grounded alternative to performance-driven and extractive models of success.
Expanding on the ideas introduced in the 5 Acts of the Affection Advantage, this book brings those reflections into a broader framework connected to the Affection Economy.
Part philosophy, part reflection, and part strategic lens, it invites readers to rethink what sustainable growth actually requires — personally, creatively, culturally, and organisationally.
Available as:
Paperback
a deeper exploration of affection as a strategic and human framework
reflections on leadership, culture, courage, integrity, and care
practical insights into sustainable growth and aligned decision-making
thoughtful writing designed to provoke reflection rather than prescribe behaviour
quiet moments, pull-quotes, and ideas intended to be returned to over time
This is not a book to rush through.
It’s a book to sit with.
Some readers move through it cover to cover.
Others return to different chapters as new questions emerge.
Many use it as a companion text alongside their leadership, creative practice, business, or personal growth.
There’s no single way to read it — only the way that feels most alive and useful to you.
Paperback
A thoughtfully designed paperback exploring leadership, trust, emotional architecture, and growth without compromise.

This book was written for people who want to grow without disappearing themselves in the process.
If it helps you make even one clearer, kinder, more aligned decision — in work, leadership, creativity, or life — then it has done what it was created to do.
When life or work feels noisy, unclear, or off-course, it’s often not more motivation we need — it’s direction.
Created by Jet Swain, founder of the Affection Economy, Your Values Compass is a practical and thoughtfully designed guide to help you identify the values shaping how you live, work, lead, and relate to others.

This isn’t about choosing the “right” values.
It’s about recognising your values clearly, honestly, and in a way you can actually live by.
Eight reflective directions designed to help you explore what genuinely guides you.
Simple prompts and practical exercises to help you reconnect with what matters most.
Thoughtfully selected language prompts to help you name your values without overthinking them.
Your Values Compass is not designed to be completed once and forgotten.
It is a reflective tool you can revisit during moments of growth, leadership, burnout, transition, uncertainty, decision-making, or realignment.
Because values are not static.
They evolve as we do.
Keep it on your desk.
Pin it to your wall.
Bring it into a workshop, coaching session, leadership conversation, or quiet moment of reflection.
Wherever it lives, Your Values Compass is designed to help you return to clarity — especially when decisions begin to feel heavy, noisy, or misaligned.
Values do not need to be aspirational.
They need to be liveable.
Your Values Compass offers a grounded way to reconnect with yourself before small misalignments become larger ones.
It is designed as a practical entry point into the Affection Economy and the Affection Advantage — helping turn values into something tangible in everyday life and leadership.

At moments of decision.
At points of transition.
Whenever life or work begins to feel noisy, disconnected, or misaligned.

Paperback Edition
The guide is structured around five core acts:
Clarity — seeing what actually matters
Care — building growth that remains sustainable
Courage — choosing alignment over approval
Consistency — letting values become lived practice
Contribution — understanding the ripple you create
Each act includes:
reflective insights
practical prompts
quiet pull-quotes designed to anchor the ideas
There’s no prescribed order or timeframe.
Some readers move through the guide in one sitting.
Others return to different acts during different seasons of life or work.
Many keep it nearby as a reference point — something to revisit when they need clarity, grounding, or perspective.
This guide is for people who:
are building something meaningful — a business, career, creative practice, or life
want growth that feels sustainable, not performative
care about how they grow, not just what they achieve
are seeking a more grounded alternative to hustle-led thinking
want to lead, live, and work with greater alignment

If it helps you make one clearer decision, hold one healthier boundary, or choose alignment over performance even once — then it has done its job.
If you’d like to go deeper into your own values and decision-making, Your Values Compass is a companion tool designed to help you name what matters — and return to it when things feel noisy.
