Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn’t true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.<BR /><B>A Best Book of the Year: <I>The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, </I>and<I> Detroit Free Press </I></B>]]></description><link>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C4570668</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C4570668</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gladwell, Malcolm]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4570668980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>What We Should Know about the People We Don&apos;t Know</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316535625/MC.GIF&amp;client=sunnyvaleca&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unplug]]></title><description><![CDATA["Turn off your phone and turn on your life with step-by-step instructions and success stories from dozens of people who've set healthy boundaries with their devices. The average American spends the equivalent of more than 75 full days a year looking at their phone. It can become an all-consuming addiction that puts a strain on virtually every facet of our existence from the way we sleep, eat, and exercise to our ability to focus and make new memories. Most importantly, it takes us away from our lives, our relationships, and the real world. But although it may seem impossible, there is always a way to overcome digital distraction: you can always turn off your phone. In Unplug, Richard Simon lays out a plan to detox from your phone, including different breakup styles, things to do with your newfound time, lightly reintegrating a smartphone into your life, and finally, helping others quit. These tips and strategies are interspersed with success stories, including Simon's own story of turning off his phone for a whole year, plus those of 25 others, including a professional baseball player (Nick Castellanos), a cable news host (Steve Hilton), as well as ordinary folks including a principal, a pastor, and a couple who quit their phones together.

Whether someone is trying to qualify for the Olympics, break ground in mathematical theory or craft an artistic masterpiece, many of the practices that lead to great success are the same. In Peak Performance, Brad Stulberg, a former McKinsey and Company consultant and writer who covers health and the science of human performance, and Steve Magness, a performance scientist and coach of Olympic athletes, team up to demystify these practices and demonstrate how everyone can achieve their best. The first book of its kind, Peak Performance combines the inspiring stories of top performers across a range of capabilities - from athletic, to intellectual, to artistic - with the latest scientific insights into the cognitive and neurochemical factors that drive performance in all domains. In doing so, Peak Performance uncovers new linkages that hold promise as performance enhancers but have been overlooked in our traditionally-siloed ways of thinking. The result is a life-changing book in which readers learn how to enhance their performance via myriad ways including: optimally alternating between periods of intense work and rest; priming the body and mind for enhanced productivity; and developing and harnessing the power of a self-transcending purpose. In revealing the science of great performance and the stories of great performers across a wide range of capabilities, Peak Performance uncovers the secrets of success, and coaches readers on how to use them. If you want to take your game to the next level, whatever "your game" may be, Peak Performance will teach you how"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1751636</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1751636</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stulberg, Brad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1751636173</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Elevate your Game, Avoid Burnout, and Thrive With the New Science of Success</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781623367930/MC.GIF&amp;client=sunnyvaleca&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Handbook on the State of the Art in Applied Psychology]]></title><description><![CDATA["Employee wellness, total worker health and the creation of psychological health and safety in the workplace are all popular programs rooted in the belief that a healthy worker is a productive worker and that improving employee well-being will translate into economic benefit for the firm. I review healthy workplace programs and the notion of a psychologically healthy workplace and point to the inadequacy or lack of theory underpinning many of the existing taxonomies of healthy work. Moreover, much of the research in this area has been based on weak research designs with an over-reliance on cross-sectional self-report data. Longitudinal studies and, ideally, carefully controlled intervention studies are needed to evaluate the claims made in this area. I use research on leadership and employee well-being as an exemplar to argue that there is evidence that changing organizational conditions (i.e., leadership) can have a beneficial effect on employee well-being. Approaching the topic of a healthy workplace with more rigorous research designs has the potential to strengthen the evidence base and to provide organizations with guidance on how best to intervene to enhance employee well-being"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C2144098</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C2144098</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2144098173</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781119627739/MC.GIF&amp;client=sunnyvaleca&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yi du jiu shang yin de xin li xue]]></title><link>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1905063</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1905063</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[chi]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dong, Guangheng]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1905063173</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle/><language>chi</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9787516825334/MC.GIF&amp;client=sunnyvaleca&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hablar con extraños]]></title><description><![CDATA[In this thoughtful treatise spurred by the 2015 death of African-American academic Sandra Bland in jail after a traffic stop, New Yorker writer Gladwell (The Tipping Point) aims to figure out the strategies people use to assess strangers-to "analyze, critique them, figure out where they came from, figure out how to fix them," in other words: to understand how to balance trust and safety.

We obsess over our emails, Instagram likes, and Facebook feeds; we binge on TV episodes and YouTube videos; we work longer hours each year; and we spend an average of three hours each day using our smartphones. Half of us would rather suffer a broken bone than a broken phone, and Millennial kids spend so much time in front of screens that they struggle to interact with real, live humans. In this revolutionary book, Adam Alter, a professor of psychology and marketing at New York University, tracks the rise of behavioral addiction, and explains why so many of today's products are irresistible. Though these miraculous products melt the miles that separate people across the globe, their extraordinary and sometimes damaging magnetism is no accident. The companies that design these products tweak them over time until they become almost impossible to resist. By reverse engineering behavioral addiction, Alter explains how we can harness addictive products for the good--to improve how we communicate with each other, spend and save our money, and set boundaries between work and play--and how we can mitigate their most damaging effects on our well-being, and the health and happiness of our children."--Jacket.]]></description><link>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1738627</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1738627</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alter, Adam L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1738627173</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594206641/MC.GIF&amp;client=sunnyvaleca&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brainhack]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hack into the secret power of your brain Your Brain100 Billion Neurons100 Trillion ConnectionsAnd you only command 5% of it.

It quickly became a practical and invaluable guide for both mental health practitioners looking to expand their practice into coaching and business professionals interested in improving their own coaching skills. In this updated edition, topics reflect the latest developments in the field of executive coaching.

We are consumers, savers, investors, and managers - corporate managers, money managers, financial advisers, and all other financial professionals. The book guides us to know our wants-including hope for riches, protection from poverty, caring for family, sincere social responsibility and high social status. It teaches financial facts and human behavior, including making cognitive and emotional shortcuts and avoiding cognitive and emotional errors such as overconfidence, hindsight, exaggerated fear, and unrealistic hope. And it guides us to banish ignorance, gain knowledge, and increase the ratio of smart to foolish behavior on our way to what we want. These lessons of behavioral finance draw on what we know about us-normal people-including our wants, cognition, and emotions. And they draw on the roles of these factors in saving and spending, portfolio construction, returns we can expect from our investments, and whether we can hope to beat the market. Meir Statman, a founder of behavioral finance, draws on his extensive research and the research of many others to build a unified structure of behavioral finance. Its foundation blocks include normal behavior, behavioral portfolio theory, behavioral life-cycle theory, behavioral asset pricing theory, and behavioral market efficiency.

We know we need money and we often want more of it, but we don't always think about the way it affects our minds and our emotions, skews our perceptions and even changes the way we behave.  Award-winning BBC Radio 4 host Claudia Hammond delves into the surprising psychology of money to show us that our relationship with the stuff is more complex than we might think. Drawing on the latest research in psychology, neuroscience and behavioural economics, she draws an anatomy of the power it holds over us. She also reveals some simple and effective tricks that will help you use and save money better-- from how being grumpy can stop you getting ripped off to why you should opt for the more expensive pain relief and why you should never offer to pay your friends for favours.  An eye-opening and entertaining investigation into the power money holds over us, Mind over Money will change the way you view the cash in your wallet and the figures in your bank account forever.  Mind over Money is an invaluable resource for anyone fascinated by the dynamics of money and for those wishing to learn how to maximize its power and greatest benefit"-- Amazon.com.]]></description><link>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1722894</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1722894</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hammond, Claudia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1722894173</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Psychology of Money and How to Use It Better</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062317001/MC.GIF&amp;client=sunnyvaleca&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Design of Everyday Things]]></title><description><![CDATA["Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious-even liberating-book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The goal: guide the user effortlessly to the right action on the right control at the right time. In this entertaining and insightful analysis, cognitive scientist Don Norman hails excellence of design as the most important key to regaining the competitive edge in influencing consumer behavior. Now fully expanded and updated, with a new introduction by the author, The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how-and why-some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1720431</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1720431</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Norman, Donald A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1720431173</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780465050659/MC.GIF&amp;client=sunnyvaleca&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[12 Rules for Life]]></title><description><![CDATA[What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street. What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.]]></description><link>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1798106</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1798106</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peterson, Jordan B.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1798106173</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>An Antidote to Chaos</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780345816047/MC.GIF&amp;client=sunnyvaleca&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
