  A new model of executive functioning which illuminates the somatic, social, and emotional influences on how we make decisions. 
   
  Executive functioning (EF) can be defined as a person's ability to successfully navigate their physical, intellectual, and social worlds. Interest in EF is expanding within psychotherapy, but like many scientific concepts which are adapted to the consulting room, there is a great deal of confusion and misinformation surrounding EF within clinical and lay communities. 
   
  In this book, Louis Cozolino—a master of translating complex neuroscientific concepts into digestible, applicable literature for therapists and laypeople alike—is joined by experts Chloe Drulis and Carly Trissler to illuminate how our brains and minds successfully navigate the challenges of day—to—day life. The book offers a new, neurodynamic model of EF that explains the three main executive systems in the brain and the specific ways that they influence how we think, focus, and solve problems. This neurobiological framework highlights the interconnectedness of cognition, emotion, and relationships, providing readers with a deeper understanding of how humans function and strategies to improve outcomes in therapy, parenting, executive coaching, and personal development.

  How could a devout Catholic such as Franz Stangl live a normal family life after sending thousands of innocent men, women and children to the gas chambers? How did educated and cultured men such as Albert Speer and Reinhard Heydrich justify the brutal liquidation of the ghettos and the slave labour programme which saw so many starved, beaten and worked to death? 
   
  Hitler and His Inner Circle presents a series of fascinating psychological profiles of Hitler and his leading henchmen, along with their most devoted disciples, in an attempt to discover what fatal character flaws made them commit their terrible crimes against humanity. The Nazis kept extensive files on practically everybody in the Third Reich. Here, author Paul Roland turns the tables with this intriguing exposé.

  This book consists of 4 titles, which are: 
  - The French Resistance: The French Resistance is one of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of World War II, a testament to the courage and defiance shown by ordinary people in the face of unimaginable adversity. During the Nazi occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, countless men and women rose to challenge the brutal regime that had taken control of their country. 
  - The Homefront Heroes: The term "homefront" often evokes images of soldiers in trenches or aircraft soaring across the skies, but it is also a powerful representation of the unseen sacrifices and contributions made by civilians during times of war. During World War II, the homefront became an essential element in the overall war effort, with civilians across the world playing critical roles in supporting the troops and maintaining the stability of their countries. 
  - Women at War: Before the outbreak of World War II, women’s roles in society were primarily defined by traditional expectations of domesticity and support. The early 20th century saw most women confined to the home, tasked with caring for children, managing households, and supporting their husbands. While some women worked outside the home, their opportunities were limited to roles deemed suitable for their gender, such as teaching, nursing, and clerical work. 
  - Fighter Aces of World War II: The concept of the "fighter ace" emerged during the early days of aerial warfare, capturing the imagination of the public and military strategists alike. A fighter ace, typically defined as a pilot who has achieved five or more confirmed aerial victories, became a symbol of skill, bravery, and national pride during World War II.

  A lot of people have a short attention span, but there are many fascinating stories that should be shared. In The Way I Heard It (2019), TV and podcast host Mike Rowe has written down thirty-five short stories just as he would tell them aloud, full of meandering, exaggerations, wry humor, and accommodations for pesky facts. His subjects range from Beethoven to the baker on the Titanic. They include famous actors, artists, inventors, statues, a space dog, even Adolf Hitler. Each story is accompanied by another from Mike’s life and career, which he calls the glue that holds them all together.

  MacArthur Fellow and National Humanities Medalist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex and The Mind-Body Problem, returns with a revelatory book about the primal drive that in our species alone has been transformed into one of our most persistent and universal motivations: the longing to matter.Drawing on biology, psychology, and philosophy, Goldstein argues that this need to matter—and the various "mattering projects" it inspires—is the source of our greatest progress and our deepest conflicts: the very crux of the human experience.Goldstein brings this profound idea to life through unforgettable stories of famous and not-so-famous people pursuing their unique mattering projects. These portraits illuminate how our instinct for significance shapes identity, relationships, culture, and conflict—and they point the way to a future where we all might see that there is, fundamentally, enough mattering to go around.Deeply revealing and insightful, The Mattering Instinct is a must-listen for those curious about why we seek to matter to ourselves and others—and how this insatiable longing that drives us apart may be the key to finally understanding each other.
