Book Description
No matter your field, industry, or specialty, as a leader you make a series of crucial decisions every single day. And the harsh truth is that the majority of decisions—no matter how good the intentions behind them—are mismanaged, resulting in a huge toll on organizations, the people they employ, and even the people they serve. So why is it so hard to make sound decisions? In Think Twice, now in paperback, Michael Mauboussin argues that we often fall victim to simplified mental routines that prevent us from coping with the complex realities inherent in important judgment calls. Yet these cognitive errors are preventable. In this engaging book, Mauboussin shows us how to recognize and avoid common mental missteps. These include misunderstanding cause-and-effect linkages, not considering enough alternative possibilities in making a decision, and relying too much on experts. Through vivid stories, the author presents memorable rules for avoiding each error and explains how to recognize when you should “think twice”—questioning your reasoning and adopting decision-making strategies that are far more effective, even if they seem counterintuitive. Armed with this awareness, you'll soon begin making sounder judgment calls that benefit (rather than hurt) your organization.

Book Description
This book explores the idea that much of our behaviour is controlled by automatic and intuitive mental processes, which shape and compete with our conscious thinking and decision making. Accessibly written, and assuming no prior knowledge of the field, the book will be fascinating reading for all those interested in human behaviour.

Book Description
A late-in-life coming-of-age escapade told with humor and heart, Don’t Think Twice is a moving and irreverent account of grief, growing up, and the healing power of adventure. Within six months, Barbara Schoichet lost everything: her job, her girlfriend of six years, and her mother to pancreatic cancer. Her life stripped bare, and armed with nothing but a death wish and a ton of attitude, Barbara pursues an unlikely method of coping. At the age of fifty she earns her motorcycle license, buys a Harley on eBay from two guys named Dave, and drives it alone from New York to Los Angeles on a circuitous trek loosely guided by her H.O.G. tour book and a whole lot of road whimsy. On the open highway—where she daily takes her speed to a hundred—Barbara battles physical limitations and inner demons on a journey that flows through the majestic Appalachian Mountains, the enchanting Turquoise Trail, and all along America’s iconic Route 66. She is awed by the battlefields in Gettysburg, stunned by the decadence of Graceland, and amused by a Cadillac graveyard in the middle of nowhere. She meets kind strangers, odd strangers, and a guy who pulls a gun on her for cutting him off. She is vulnerable but sassy, broken but determined to heal . . . or die trying.

Book Description
From the blockbuster New York Times bestselling author of Look Again comes a novel that makes you question the nature of evil: is it born in us or is it bred? Bennie Rosato looks exactly like her identical twin, Alice Connolly, but the darkness in Alice's soul makes them two very different women. Or at least that's what Bennie believes, until she finds herself buried alive at the hands of her twin. Meanwhile, Alice takes over Bennie's life, impersonating her at work and even seducing her boyfriend in order to escape the deadly mess she has made of her own life. But Alice underestimates Bennie and the evil she has unleashed in her twin's psyche, as well as Bennie's determination to stay alive long enough to exact revenge. Bennie must face the twisted truth that she is more like her sister Alice than she could have ever imagined, and by the novel's shocking conclusion, Bennie finds herself engaged in a war she cannot win—with herself.

Book Description
Just three seconds. The time it takes to make a decision. That's all that lies between settling for "Whatever" . . . or insisting on "Whatever it takes." 3 Seconds shows how to unleash the inner resources that can move you to a whole new level of success. It comes down to six predictable impulses that most of us automatically accept without a second thought. You can replace them with new impulses that lead toward impact and significance. For instance, it takes Three Seconds to . . . Disown Your Helplessness - The First Impulse: "There's nothing I can do about it." The Second Impulse: "I can't do everything, but I can do something." Quit Stewing and Start Doing - The First Impulse: "Someday I’m going to do that." The Second Impulse: "I'm diving in . . . starting today." Fuel Your Passion - The First Impulse: "I'll do what happens to come my way." The Second Impulse: "I'll do what I'm designed to do." Inhale . . . exhale . . . the difference of your lifetime can begin in the space of a single breath. The decision is yours. Start today.

Book Description
From the bestselling author of Don't Even Think About It, these high school seniors may know each other's thoughts, but they'll never see what's coming. Since refusing to take the antidote after acquiring flu shot-induced telepathy two years ago, the twenty Espies (that's people with ESP to you norms) have been kept together in one class every single day. Now that they're seniors, their separation is looming . . . Though their superpower has come with a price--headaches, constant noise, purple-tinted eyes, C-list celebrity status--Mackenzie Feldman, Olivia Byrne, Cooper Miller, Pi Ricci, and the others wouldn't change a thing. They've all gotten closer than ever, and when--one-by-one--they start losing their telepathic abilities, they'll do whatever it takes to stop the damage. Graduation is coming up, and if the Espies are going out, they may as well go out with a bang. Praise for Don't Even Think About It "A tour-de-force comic narration that will leave you gasping in awe--if you ever catch your breath from laughing." --E. Lockhart, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of We Were Liars "Funny, realistic, heartfelt, satiric, and unpredictable." --Ned Vizzini, New York Times-bestselling author of It's Kind of a Funny Story "Smart and frequently hilarious . . . Filled with heartbreak, hilarity, and some brutal truths, Mlynowski's novel will leave readers thinking about the gaps between our private and public selves and the lies we tell others and ourselves." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Hilarious, moving, and utterly ingenious." --Robin Wasserman, author of Girls on Fire "A solid, comical sci-fi romp." --Kirkus Reviews
