Synopsis

When it comes to making great decisions, the way you think about things is usually a lot more influential than what you actually think.
If you ever hired a person who 'looks the part', dated someone who 'gives you a good feeling', voted for the party that 'speaks the most sense' or got into an investment that 'cannot be missed', only to realise you made a horrible mistake, you might have wondered how you ever talked yourself into it.
Yet, still bearing the bruises, you're likely to make exactly the same decision the next time.
The beliefs that guide your ideas and the instincts that drive your actions, are all informed by your unconscious biases, and literally every single one of us has them, which irrationally tell us one thing is good and another is bad, one thing is absolutely true and another is utterly false, and make you act less smartly than you should.
But the good news is that you can learn to see them, to manage them and ultimately overcome them.
In Don't Believe Everything You Think, Colin J Browne shows you how biases work, why they matter, and how to reframe your thinking to make well-founded decisions about life and work, relationships and investing, and much else in between, to vastly improve your chances of success.

Hanging Out - The Radical Power of Killing Time - cover

Hanging Out - The Radical Power...

Sheila Liming

A smart and empowering book about the simple art of hanging out . . . and of taking back our social lives from the deadening whirl of contemporary life. 
 
 
 
Almost every day it seems that our world becomes more fractured, more digital, and more chaotic. Sheila Liming has the answer: we need to hang out more. 
 
 
 
Starting with the assumption that play is to children as hanging out is to adults, Liming makes a brilliant case for the necessity of unstructured social time as a key element of our cultural vitality. The book asks questions like what is hanging out? why is it important? why do we do it? how do we do it? and examines the various ways we hang out—in groups, online, at parties, at work. 
 
 
 
Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time makes an intelligent case for the importance of this most casual of social structures and shows us how just getting together can be a potent act of resistance all on its own.

In an era in which "resistance" has become tokenized, popular Indigenous author Kaitlin Curtice reclaims it as a basic human calling. Resistance is for every human who longs to see their neighbors' holistic flourishing. We each have a role to play in the world right where we are, and our everyday acts of resistance hold us all together. 
 
 
 
Curtice shows that we can learn to practice embodied ways of belonging and connection to ourselves and one another through everyday practices, such as getting more in touch with our bodies, resting, and remembering our ancestors. She explores four "realms of resistance"—the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral—and shows how these realms overlap and why all are needed for our liberation. Listeners will be empowered to seek wholeness in whatever spheres of influence they inhabit.

Gifted People - Embracing Unique...

Giftedness is a term often shrouded in mystery, misinterpretation, and myth. While society celebrates extraordinary achievements in art, science, and leadership, the inner world of gifted individuals is rarely understood in its full complexity. Being gifted encompasses more than intellectual brilliance or creative talent—it involves a rich tapestry of emotional depth, heightened sensitivities, and an intense drive for meaning and purpose. This book aims to explore these multifaceted dimensions of giftedness, shedding light on both the remarkable strengths and the unique challenges that come with it.  
  
Gifted individuals often navigate a world that feels out of sync with their internal experiences. Their intense curiosity, rapid learning, and unique perspectives can set them apart, leading to feelings of isolation or misunderstanding. At the same time, they may face profound struggles—perfectionism, impostor syndrome, and heightened emotional intensity—that complicate their relationships, careers, and mental health. For many, giftedness is not a badge of privilege but a complex identity that requires understanding and support to fully thrive.
