Book Description
English as a Second Language instructor Trevor McCall lives with his cat in a studio apartment on the north side of Chicago. It's not a bad life but it's far from what Trevor pictured for himself at age 38. Not only is he struggling financially, he's also alone. And having been single for the last four years, he's beginning to fear it will become a permanent condition. Nice guys finish last, or so he's been told, and Trevor is definitely a kindhearted, contemplative soul. When not teaching, Trevor tries to fill his time with various cultural pursuits. And while fulfilling, he lacks that one special person to share it all with. One day Trevor and Scott a musician he's befriended who has recently moved into his building run into a stranger at their local pet supply store and Trevor can't keep his eyes off the handsome somewhat older man. By chance Scott later runs into the same man and decides to make contact on Trevor's behalf. It turns out he's a Greek-American named Nick who lives in their neighborhood. And he owns a beautiful Shiba Inu named Jefferson. Trevor himself spots Nick one night and from somewhere deep inside musters up the courage to approach. There is an instant rapport between them and soon they become romantically involved. Nick is everything Trevor has ever wanted in a partner, and although commitment is scary, Trevor knows that Nick is just the nudge he's needed to get his life moving forward again.

Book Description
Virtually everybody, no matter how self-assured, internally motivated, or confident, hits a few rough patches in life. We all know that when we hit a rough spot we could do with a little extra nudge. That nudge may come from family, a caring co-worker, or a special friend. But equally likely, the prod or push can come from reading an inspiring, empathetic book that shows you how to find your way again. Author Jarie Bolander's #ENDURANCE tweet is just that kind of book. Jarie wrote it for all of us for when we need a little nudge to keep reaching our goals. Most of us do not look for a book that helps us set our goals--we already have those in mind. What we look for is help getting over the hump; overcoming the inertia that sets in and keeps us from taking the first step and making it all the way towards our goals. Jarie knows first-hand about the struggle to get going and keep going. With the true passion and grit of an endurance athlete, he has completed more than a dozen triathlons. He knows that the key to achievement is to "out-endure" everybody else. Jarie firmly believes that most of us can, with the right mindset and determination, pull through with winning colors. #ENDURANCE tweet shows the way. With bite-sized wisdom that we can immediately implement, Jarie walks us through breaking down the initial barriers, determining and then pushing our limits, performing at a high level throughout, pushing extra hard as we draw close to the finish line and even, if required, picking ourselves up and starting all over again. #ENDURANCE tweet inspires its readers to endure through their challenges and succeed. Jarie helps us realize that the secret to success is to endure until you can't endure anymore. This wonderful new book teaches readers to be motivated to fix firmly on their goals and build the confidence to achieve them. #ENDURANCE tweet is part of the THiNKaha series whose slim and handy books contain 140 well-thought-out quotations (tweets/ahas).

Book Description
Now available: Nudge: The Final Edition The original edition of the multimillion-copy New York Times bestseller by the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, Richard H. Thaler, and Cass R. Sunstein: a revelatory look at how we make decisions—for fans of Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink, Charles Duhigg’s The Power of Habit, James Clear’s Atomic Habits, and Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow Named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist and the Financial Times Every day we make choices—about what to buy or eat, about financial investments or our children’s health and education, even about the causes we champion or the planet itself. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. Nudge is about how we make these choices and how we can make better ones. Using dozens of eye-opening examples and drawing on decades of behavioral science research, Nobel Prize winner Richard H. Thaler and Harvard Law School professor Cass R. Sunstein show that no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way, and that we are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions. But by knowing how people think, we can use sensible “choice architecture” to nudge people toward the best decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society, without restricting our freedom of choice.

Book Description
The best way to improve your quality of life is through the decisions you make. This book teaches several fundamental decision-making skills, provides numerous applications and examples, and ultimately nudges you toward smarter decisions. These nudges frame more desirable decisions for you to face by identifying the objectives for your decisions and generating superior alternatives to those initially considered. All of the nudges are based on psychology and behavioral economics research and are accessible to all readers. The new concept of a decision opportunity is introduced, which involves creating a decision that you desire to face. Solving a decision opportunity improves your life, whereas resolving a decision problem only restores the quality of your life to that before the decision problem occurred. We all can improve our decision-making and reap the better quality of life that results. This book shows you how.
