W. W. Norton & Company No Two Alike
Book Synopsis"A display of scientific courage and imagination." —William Saletan, New York Times Book ReviewTrade Review"As she did in The Nurture Assumption, independent scholar Harris makes waves again with a new theory of personality to explain why no two people are alike." -- Kirkus Reviews"This is an absolute stunner of a popular science book. The author does a brilliant job of demolishing the academic psychology establishment, by questioning a fundamental assumption that was made without properly checking it—that nurture would influence personality. She does all this in a very personal, human fashion, with as much reference to the way traditional crime fiction works as to scientific research." -- Martin O'Brien - Popular Science"No Two Alike is another firecracker of a book by the woman who forced the world to rethink how we became who we are. Harris's scholarship and the persuasiveness of her arguments make this book mandatory reading for psychologists; her style, humor, and storytelling skills make it exhilarating reading for everyone." -- Steven Pinker, author of Rationality and The Better Angels of Our Nature

WW Norton & Co The Intelligence Trap
Book SynopsisA “startling, provocative and potently useful” (James McConnachie, Times UK) examination of the stupid things intelligent people do.Trade Review"Essential reading for anyone who wants to think more clearly." -- Rolf Dobelli, author of The Art of Thinking Clearly"Clearly, we need to find new and better ways to teach critical thinking and measure good judgement. Reading David Robson’s book would be a good place to start." -- Emily Bobrow - Wall Street Journal"Impressively accessible, with engaging storytelling, depth of discussion, and counterintuitive conclusions." -- Aron K. Barbey - Science"I loved The Intelligence Trap. As fun to read as it is fascinating, it celebrates the power of humility and curiosity. Everyone, especially intelligent people, should read this brilliant and important book." -- Anna Rosling Rönnlund, coauthor of Factfulness"The Intelligence Trap is a ceaselessly fascinating book written by one of our most consistently superb science writers. Its counterintuitive argument, that intelligence is no inoculation against wrongness, explains so much about the fractious and baffling times in which we live." -- Will Storr, author of Selfie"The Intelligence Trap is a ceaselessly fascinating book written by one of our most consistently superb science writers. Its counter-intuitive argument, that intelligence is no inoculation against wrongness, explains so much about the fractious and baffling times in which we live." -- Will Storr, author of Selfie"A fascinating and enjoyable investigation of what intelligence is and isn’t, by one of the most exciting new voices in science writing. This thought-provoking and brilliantly researched guide to achieving true wisdom shows us how to be smarter—and how to protect ourselves from the cleverest fools." -- Gaia Vance, author of Adventures in the Anthropocene

Penguin Putnam Inc Hidden Potential
Book Synopsis#1 New York Times Bestseller?This brilliant book will shatter your assumptions about what it takes to improve and succeed. I wish I could go back in time and gift it to my younger self. It would?ve helped me find a more joyful path to progress.? ?Serena Williams, 23-time Grand Slam singles tennis championThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again illuminates how we can elevate ourselves and others to unexpected heights.We live in a world that?s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn?t knock, there are ways to build a door.Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid storytelling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space. He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess?it?s about the character you develop. Grant explores how to build the character skills and motivational structures to realize our own potential, and how to design systems that create opportunities for those who have been underrated and overlooked.Many writers have chronicled the habits of superstars who accomplish great things. This book reveals how anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you?ve reached, but how far you?ve climbed to get there.

Penguin Publishing Group Tiny Experiments
Book SynopsisA transformative guide to rethinking our approach to goals, creativity, and life itself from a neuroscientist and entrepreneur, and the creator of the popular Ness Labs newsletterI loved this profound, practical, and generous book.—Oliver BurkemanA thought-provoking guide to doing more trials and making fewer errors.—Adam GrantOne of the best productivity books that I've read.—Ryder CarrollThis book will change the way you design your goals and live your life.—Nir EyalLife isn’t linear, and yet we constantly try to mold it around linear goals: four-year college degrees, ten-year career plans, thirty-year mortgages. What if instead we approached life as a giant playground for experimentation? Based on ancestral philosophy and the latest scientific research, Tiny Experiments provides a desperately needed reframing: Uncertainty can be a state of expanded possibility and a space for metamorphosis.Neuroscientist and entrepreneur Anne-Laure Le Cunff reveals that all you need is an experimental mindset to turn challenges into self-discovery and doubt into opportunity. Readers will replace the old linear model of success with a circular model of growth in which goals are discovered, pursued, and adapted—not in a vacuum, but in conversation with the larger world.Throughout the book, you will ask hard questions and design simple yet meaningful experiments to find the answers. You will learn how to break free from the invisible cognitive scripts that shape your life, how to harness the power of imperfection, and how to make smarter decisions when the path forward is unclear.This is a guide to:• Discover your true ambitions through conducting tiny personal experiments• Dismantle harmful beliefs about success that have kept you stuck• Dare to make decisions true to your own aspirations• Stop trying to find your purpose and start living insteadTiny Experiments offers not just practical tools to make sure our most vital work gets done, but a guide to reawakening our curiosity and drive in a noisy, busy, disaffected world, so that we can discover and pursue our most authentic ambitions while making a meaningful contribution.

Mary Philomena McGuiness Youve Got Personality
Book SynopsisYou've Got Personality is designed to use when introducing a client to the 16 personality Types described by Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs-Myers. This 44-page book describes in detail all the basic theory behind the 16 Types. It describes each of the eight preferences and the eight Jungian functions, and outlines the typical stages of development that Types experiences as they move from childhood to midlife. The book explains the four majors communication styles and gives practical suggestions on how to communicate with each personality Type. There is also an explanation of the behaviour of the Inferior function and how it causes stress. The four Temperaments are explained briefly, showing the link between Temperament and Type theory. This book contains very comprehensive two-page descriptions of each Type. These descriptions include the strengths and potential difficulties of the Type, plus a description of how the person's Type influences communication, relationships, learning, leisure and stress. Workplace behviour is also described, explaining the needs and behaviour at work, team role behaviour, leadership style and typical career choices. One half page is devoted to an outline of the stages of development over the lifespan, explaining the typical experiences and challenges in childhood, adolescence, early adulthood and midlife.A unique feature of this book is the accuracy of the Type descriptions. The data for these descriptions was collected over a period of more than fifteen years, and came from people describing their own Type in detail. The information was all new information and is presented in this book as it was expressed by the contributors. The result is accurate descriptions that immediately resonate with the reader when they read their own Type description. Since publication in 2004 this book has sold more than 120,000 copies
