If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible.

In 1929 , the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a freefall, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that would reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicked traders, another drama unfolded—one of visionaries and fraudsters, titans and dreamers, euphoria and ruin. With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash, behind the scenes of a raging battle between Wall Street and Washington and the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and naivete in an endless boom led to disaster. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today’s world—where markets soar, political tensions mount, and the fight over financial influence plays out once again. This is not just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power, psychology, and the seductive illusion that this time is different. It’s about disregarded alarm bells, financiers who fell from grace, and skeptics who saw the crash coming—only to be dismissed until it was too late. Hailed as a landmark book, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are told. Now, with 1929 , Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time—with lessons that remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2421144</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2421144</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sorkin, Andrew Ross]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2421144218</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History—and How It Shattered a Nation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593296974/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Be A Rich Old Lady]]></title><description><![CDATA[NATIONAL BESTSELLER A life-changing path to the financial freedom we all deserve: How to Be a Rich Old Lady is filled with humor, heart, and real-world perspective.

We chase things that impress others but leave us cold. Or we save endlessly, afraid to spend on what would actually make life better. We confuse admiration with envy, comfort with excess, and utility with status. The Art of Spending Money doesn't provide budgets, hacks, or one-size-fits-all solutions. It gives you understanding of how your relationship with money shapes your decisions—and how to reshape it so money works for you. Morgan Housel’s work has helped millions rethink how they earn, save, and invest. Now he turns his attention to the other side of the equation: how to spend. With insight and warmth, he shows why the most valuable return on investment is peace of mind, why expectations matter more than income, and why doing well with money has less to do with spreadsheets and more to do with self-awareness. This book isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting the most out of what you already have—and learning to want what’s worth wanting.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2421221</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2421221</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Housel, Morgan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2421221218</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Simple Choices for A Richer Life</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593716632/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Infographics Edition   "...Dr. Covey's emphasis on self-renewal and his understanding that leadership and creativity require us to tap into our own physical, mental, and spiritual resources are exactly what we need now." - Arianna Huffington     Wall Street Journal Best Seller!   #1 Best Seller in Leadership, Personal Success, and Finance & Self-Help      Commemorate the timeless wisdom and power of Stephen Covey's cherished classic, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and do it in a highly readable and understandable, infographics format.

In an increasingly divided world, the lessons in this book are more important than ever."  -Bill and Melinda Gates The bestselling author of  Give and Take  and  Originals  examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life  Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval-and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds-and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of  Originals  and  Give and Take , he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox.  Think Again  reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2293656</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2293656</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grant, Adam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2293656218</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Power of Knowing What You Don&apos;t Know</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984878113/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Harvard Business Review]]></title><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1497455</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1497455</guid><category><![CDATA[MAG]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1497455218</comments><format>MAG</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=&amp;issn=00178012/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mattering]]></title><description><![CDATA[“A timely, vitally important read.” — Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast Re:thinking “Beautifully written and deeply felt. Wallace gives readers the insights we need to understand each other, and the actions we can take to enhance each other’s lives.”— Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet “ Mattering is an essential guide for how to restore meaning, comfort, and joy to our lives.” — Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA, 19th and 21st Surgeon General of the United States From award-winning journalist and bestselling author Jennifer Wallace comes Mattering —a landmark book that introduces a transformative new framework to confront the loneliness, burnout, and lack of purpose so many of us face today. In this groundbreaking work, Wallace makes an urgent case: mattering—the feeling that we are valued and have an opportunity to add value—is a core human need, as essential to our well-being as food and water. And yet, in today’s world, that fundamental need is going unmet, with perilous consequences. As mental and social health crises surge, we often blame social media, the pace of modern life, and polarizing politics. But beneath these issues lies a deeper crisis, what Wallace calls “an erosion of mattering.” With her signature warmth and insight, Wallace weaves together research and deeply moving stories of mattering lost and regained. From burned-out employees to overwhelmed caregivers to people grappling with grief or struggling through a destabilizing transition, Mattering explores how our lives are transformed when we are reminded, in small and intentional ways, that we are valued and that we have value to offer. Wallace provides the essential elements to building what she calls our “mattering core”: recognizing your impact, being relied on (but not too much), feeling prioritized, and being truly known and invested in. Strengthening this core helps us reconnect to our sense of purpose, deepen our relationships, and navigate life’s uncertainties and challenges with greater resilience. For readers of Brené Brown, David Brooks, and Adam Grant, Mattering is a rare, culture-shifting book that offers both a diagnosis and a remedy. With a clear road map and actionable takeaways, Wallace reveals how to unlock this powerful force within ourselves and how to build cultures of mattering in our homes, workplaces, and communities.  Mattering is both a call to action and a blueprint for living a meaningful life and creating a world we so urgently need.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2424087</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2424087</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Breheny Wallace, Jennifer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2424087218</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Secret to A Life of Deep Connection and Purpose</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593850602/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Retire Inspired]]></title><description><![CDATA[This is your retirement wake-up call.

It has since become the #1 Personal Finance book of all time... translated into dozens of languages and sold around the world.     Rich Dad Poor Dad  is Robert's story of growing up with two dads - his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad - and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.     20 Years... 20/20 Hindsight   In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we've seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will take readers fast forward" - from 1997 to today - as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time.   In many ways, the messages of  Rich Dad Poor Dad , messages that were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant and important today than they were 20 years ago.   As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful... and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective.   Will there be a few surprises? Count on it.       Rich Dad Poor Dad ...

Will Guidara was twenty-six when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, a struggling two-star brasserie that had never quite lived up to its majestic room. Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world.     How did Guidara pull off this unprecedented transformation? Radical reinvention, a true partnership between the kitchen and the dining room-and memorable, over-the-top, bespoke hospitality. Guidara’s team surprised a family who had never seen snow with a magical sledding trip to Central Park after their dinner; they filled a private dining room with sand, complete with mai-tais and beach chairs, to console a couple with a cancelled vacation. And his hospitality extended beyond those dining at the restaurant to his own team, who learned to deliver praise and criticism with intention; why the answer to some of the most pernicious business dilemmas is to give more-not less; and the magic that can happen when a busser starts thinking like an owner.     Today, every business can choose to be a hospitality business-and we can all transform ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences. Featuring sparkling stories of his journey through restaurants, with the industry’s most famous players like Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer, Guidara urges us all to find the magic in what we do-for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2345181</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2345181</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Guidara, Will]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2345181218</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593418581/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Financial Feminist]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the globally-recognized personal finance educator and social media star behind Her First $100K, an inclusive guide to all things money-from managing debt to investing and voting with your dollars   Tori Dunlap was always good with money. As a kid, she watched her prudent parents balance their checkbook every month and learned to save for musical tickets by gathering pennies in an Altoids tin. But she quickly discovered that her experience with money was pretty unusual, especially among her female friends.  It wasn't our fault. Investigating this financial literacy and wealth gap, Tori found that girls are significantly less likely to receive a holistic financial education; we're taught to restrain our spending, while boys are taught about investing and rewarded for pursuing wealth. In adulthood, women are hounded by the unfounded stereotype of the frivolous spenders whose lattes are to blame for the wealth gap. And when something like, say, a global pandemic happens, we're the first to have jobs cut and the last to re-enter the workforce. It's no wonder money is a source of anxiety and a barrier to equality for so many of us.   But what if money didn't mean restriction, and instead, choice? The ability to luxuriously travel, quit toxic jobs, donate to important organizations, retire early? The freedom to live the life you want, and change the world while you do it?  Tori founded Her First $100K to teach women to overcome the unique obstacles standing in the way of their financial freedom. In Financial Feminist, she distills the principles of her shame- and judgment-free approach to paying off debt, figuring out your value categories to spend mindfully, saving money without monk-like deprivation, and investing in order to spend your retirement tanning in Tulum.  Featuring journaling prompts, deep-dives into the invisible aspects of the financial landscape, and interviews with experts on everything money-from predatory credit card companies to the racial wealth gap and voting with your dollars-Financial Feminist is the ultimate guide to making your money work harder for you (rather than the other way around.)]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2348013</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2348013</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dunlap, Tori]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2348013218</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Overcome the Patriarchy&apos;s Bullsh*t to Master your Money and Build A Life You Love</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063158238/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Premonition]]></title><description><![CDATA[For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about.    Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis's taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.   The characters you will meet in these pages are as fascinating as they are unexpected. A thirteen-year-old girl's science project on transmission of an airborne pathogen develops into a very grown-up model of disease control. A local public-health officer uses her worm's-eye view to see what the CDC misses, and reveals great truths about American society. A secret team of dissenting doctors, nicknamed the Wolverines, has everything necessary to fight the pandemic: brilliant backgrounds, world-class labs, prior experience with the pandemic scares of bird flu and swine flu...everything, that is, except official permission to implement their work.   Michael Lewis is not shy about calling these people heroes for their refusal to follow directives that they know to be based on misinformation and bad science. Even the internet, as crucial as it is to their exchange of ideas, poses a risk to them. They never know for sure who else might be listening in.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2301387</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2301387</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lewis, Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2301387218</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Pandemic Story</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393881561/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
