Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking<\/span><\/i>\u00a0by Susan Cain<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts\u2014Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak\u2014that we owe many of the great contributions to society.<\/i><\/i>In\u00a0Quiet,\u00a0Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts\u2014from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people,\u00a0Quiet\u00a0has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.<\/div>\n

Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work<\/span><\/i>\u00a0by Chip Heath and Dan Heath<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities: We\u2019re overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn\u2019t. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, it seems, our brains are flawed instruments. Unfortunately, merely being aware of these shortcomings doesn\u2019t fix the problem, any more than knowing that we are nearsighted helps us to see. The real question is: How can we do better?<\/i><\/p>\n

In\u00a0Decisive, the Heaths, based on an exhaustive study of the decision-making literature, introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. Written in an engaging and compulsively readable style,\u00a0Decisive\u00a0takes readers on an unforgettable journey, from a rock star\u2019s ingenious decision-making trick to a CEO\u2019s disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions.<\/p>\n

Along the way, we learn the answers to critical questions like these: How can we stop the cycle of\u00a0agonizing\u00a0over our decisions? How can we make group decisions without destructive politics? And how can we ensure that we don\u2019t overlook precious opportunities to change our course?<\/p>\n

Decisive\u00a0is the Heath brothers\u2019 most powerful\u2014and important\u2014book yet, offering fresh strategies and practical tools enabling us to make better choices. Because the right decision, at the right moment, can make all the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
