The world is ending soon—or is it?
 
Has progression truly become a far-fetched possibility for us? Steven Pinker, distinguished cognitive psychologist and author thinks otherwise. Indeed, the problems that we are facing today are becoming more and more dreadful; but we have also conquered our primitive and ill-advised problem-solving approaches.
 
In this book, Pinker stresses that Enlightenment’s ideal of using science and reason over the impractical and perilous implications of excessively idealistic, religious and political beliefs has been instrumental in unlocking numerous advancements in economic growth, healthcare, food security, science and technology, safety and solidarity among nations. Backed by seventy-five comprehensive graphs, this book exhibits how intellectual reasoning and deduction, along with the significant improvements in technology, research and education, have proven that now is the best time to be alive.
 
Check out Steven Pinker’s Enlightenment Now and discover how its ideals are the key to continuously improving our lives.

    Why Mars and Venus Collide

    Once upon a time, Martians and Venusians functioned in separate worlds. But in today's hectic and career-oriented environment, relationships have become a lot more complicated, and men and women are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress. To add to the increasing tension, most men and women are also completely unaware that they are actually hardwired to react differently to the stress. It's a common scenario: a husband returns home from work stressed out and eager to kick back on the couch and watch television. A wife returns home from work stressed out and wants to talk about it with her husband. What happens? Neither is on the same page, anger and resentment set in, and Mars and Venus collide.  
Using his signature insight that has helped millions of couples transform their relationships, John Gray once again arms the inhabitants of Mars and Venus with information that will help them live harmoniously ever after. In Why Mars and Venus Collide, Gray focuses on the ways that men and women misinterpret and mismanage the stress in their daily lives, and how these reactions ultimately affect their relationships. "It's not that he's just not into you; he needs to fulfill a biological need," Gray explains. "And it's not that she wants to henpeck you; she also has a biological drive." He shows, for instance, how a husband's withdrawal is actually a natural way for him to replenish his depleted testosterone levels and restore his well-being, and how a woman's need for conversation and support helps her build her own stress-reducing hormone, oxytocin. 
Backed up by groundbreaking scientific research, Gray offers a clear, easy-to-understand program to bridge the gap between the two planets, providing effective communication strategies that will actually lower stress levels. Whether in a relationship or single, this book will help both men and women understand their new roles in a modern, work-oriented society, and allow them to discover a variety of new and practical ways to create a lifetime of love and harmony.
