Why do smart people make irrational decisions every day? The
answers will surprise you. Predictably Irrational is an intriguing,
witty and utterly original look at why we all make illogical
decisions. Why can a 50p aspirin do what a 5p aspirin can't? If an
item is "free" it must be a bargain, right? Why is everything
relative, even when it shouldn't be? How do our expectations
influence our actual opinions and decisions? In this astounding
book, behavioural economist Dan Ariely cuts to the heart of our
strange behaviour, demonstrating how irrationality often supplants
rational thought and that the reason for this is embedded in the
very structure of our minds. Predicatably Irrational brilliantly
blends everyday experiences with a series of illuminating and often
surprising experiments, that will change your understanding of
human behaviour. And, by recognising these patterns, Ariely shows
that we can make better decisions in business, in matters of
collective welfare, and in our everyday lives from drinking coffee
to losing weight, buying a car to choosing a romantic partner.
A guide to making life's biggest decisions, from an internationally
renowned lifecoach. Just imagine if you didn't have to agonise over
difficult decisions. If you could feel absolute confidence in the
choices you made, regardless of the outcome. If you could dispense
with decisions altogether, on the basis that you always knew what
to do. Well, it's perfectly possible, according to top US
lifecoach, Laura Berman Fortgang. Each of us possesses an internal
compass which expresses our individual wisdom and points to the
things which would make us happiest. It is perfectly possible to
tap into this wisdom, to listen to our gut instincts and to make
them the basis for sound life decisions. 'Unlock the Life You Were
Meant to Lead' demonstrates how to live in tune with our inner
wisdom on a daily basis, with a combination of practical exercises,
client scenarios and questions to ponder. Combining Intuition (the
skill of the moment) and Wisdom (knowing how to tap into that
intuition and what to do with it), Laura Berman Fortgang shows us
how to get in touch with our inner selves and live a life of power,
grace and ease. 'Wisdom' is a precious resource for the new century
and this is the essential guidebook...
Finally, a man with the answers to the questions women ask about
men! Following two decades of research into the brains and
behaviour of men, Michael Gurian answers the questions every woman
is longing to have answered and gives them the knowledge they need
to have good relations with the opposite sex. Michael Gurian
presents a new vision of the male psyche that will satisfy the
tremendous curiosity women have about male behaviour, answering
questions such as: Why are men obsessed with electronic gadgets?
Why can't men see the house is a mess? Why do men watch TV instead
of talking about what's bothering them? Why do men get such a kick
out of watching mindless action films? Why can men remember the
names of football players, who scored and when, but not yesterday's
conversation? Why do men enjoy racing their cars through red
lights? Why do men put much of their identity in their work? Why do
men tend to get more workoholic after they have kids? Why don't men
notice when a house is messy or dusty? Michael Gurian makes a
profound statement about the role of men in modern culture and
suggests a way for men and women to thrive together in intimate
separateness.
**The instant Sunday Times bestseller** What if you tried to stop
doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts?
Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything
done,' Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for
constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying
their limitations. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and
contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers,
Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time -
and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny. Embrace your
limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.
