  • Kidding Ourselves - The Hidden Power of Self-Deception - cover

    Kidding Ourselves - The Hidden...

    From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Why We Make Mistakes, an illuminating exploration of human beings' astonishing ability to deceive themselves. To one degree or another, we all misjudge reality. Our perception—of ourselves and the world around us—is much more malleable than we realize. This self-deception influences every major aspect of our personal and social life, including relationships, sex, politics, careers, and health. In Kidding Ourselves, Joseph Hallinan offers a nuts-and-bolts look at how this penchant shapes our everyday lives, from the medicines we take to the decisions we make. It shows, for instance, just how much the power of many modern medicines, particularly anti-depressants and painkillers, is largely in our heads. Placebos in modern-day life extend beyond hospitals, to fake thermostats and "elevator close" buttons that don't really workbut give the perception that they do. Kidding Ourselves brings together a variety of subjects, linking seemingly unrelated ideas in fascinating and unexpected ways. And ultimately, it shows that deceiving ourselves is not always negative or foolish. As increasing numbers of researchers are discovering, it can be incredibly useful, providing us with the resilience we need to persevere, in the boardroom, bedroom, and beyond. Provocative, accessible, and easily applicable to multiple facets of everyday life, Kidding Ourselves is an extraordinary new exploration of our mind's flexibility.

    Capital Ideas Evolving

    "A lot has happened in the financial markets since 1992, when Peter  Bernstein wrote his seminal Capital Ideas. Happily, Peter has taken  up his facile pen again to describe these changes, a virtual  revolution in the practice of investing that relies heavily on  complex mathematics, derivatives, hedging, and hyperactive trading.  This fine and eminently readable book is unlikely to be surpassed  as the definitive chronicle of a truly historic era."  John C. Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group and  author, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing    "Just as Dante could not have understood or survived the perils of  the Inferno without Virgil to guide him, investors today need Peter  Bernstein to help find their way across dark and shifting ground.  No one alive understands Wall Street's intellectual history better,  and that makes Bernstein our best and wisest guide to the future.  He is the only person who could have written this book; thank  goodness he did."  Jason Zweig, Investing Columnist, Money  magazine    "Another must-read from Peter Bernstein! This well-written and  thought-provoking book provides valuable insights on how key  finance theories have evolved from their ivory tower formulation to  profitable application by portfolio managers. This book will  certainly be read with keen interest by, and undoubtedly influence,  a wide range of participants in international finance."  Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, President and CEO of Harvard  Management Company, Deputy Treasurer of Harvard University, and  member of the faculty of the Harvard Business School    "Reading Capital Ideas Evolving is an experience not to be  missed. Peter Bernstein's knowledge of the principal characters-the  giants in the development of investment theory and practice-brings  this subject to life."  Linda B. Strumpf, Vice President and Chief Investment  Officer, The Ford Foundation    "With great clarity, Peter Bernstein introduces us to the insights  of investment giants, and explains how they transformed financial  theory into portfolio practice. This is not just a tale of money  and models; it is a fascinating and contemporary story about people  and the power of their ideas."  Elroy Dimson, BGI Professor of Investment Management,  London Business School    "Capital Ideas Evolving provides us with a unique  appreciation for the pervasive impact that the theory of modern  finance has had on the development of our capital markets. Peter  Bernstein once again has produced a masterpiece that is must  reading for practitioners, educators and students of  finance."  Andr F. Perold, Professor of Finance, Harvard  Business School

    An inside look at the company that defined American industry and the man who runs itFord Tough is the contemporary story of a company fighting to position itself in a new era of business, with the founder's visionary great-grandson as the leader of the new Ford Motor Company.Bill Ford Jr. is the first Ford family member to run the company since 1979. A self-professed environmentalist and by all accounts a "nice guy," he might not seem the most obvious choice for a hard-nosed corporate leader. But his vision of the company's future, his genuine care for his employees, his well-timed toughness, and his obvious concern for the long-term well-being of Ford Motor Company have proven to be essential characteristics for the leader of America's most famous brand.Ford watched the company decline beginning in 1999 as then-CEO Jacques Nasser tried to remake the automaker into a new economy business. When the plan did not work, Ford stepped in to rebuild the automaker and restore faith from employees, consumers, and dealers. He guided Ford Motor Company through its troubled times and a successful centennial celebration.With its massive size and a troubled economy, leading Ford Motor Company into the twenty-first century will be no easy task. Ford Tough looks at the modern rebuilding and the future of a company that defines American know-how and American culture.David Magee (Lookout Mountain, Tennessee) is a former newspaper editor and columnist, as well as an automotive expert who has been featured on National Public Radio, Bloomberg TV, and the Discover Channel, among other news and media outlets. He has written for the Associated Press, the Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, MS), and the Oxford Eagle (Oxford, MS), and is also the author of Turnaround: How Carlos Ghosn Rescued Nissan.

    Becoming successful in today’s America is simple: graduate high school, go to a good college, and get a white-collar job. That path is going to lead you to the biggest paycheck and the best opportunities. Right?The truth is, some of the most lucrative jobs out there are blue-collar jobs—yet society pushes the perception that being an auto mechanic, plumber, electrician, or construction worker somehow indicates a lack of success. A career in the skilled trades was once regarded as a good, honest profession. Now, we discourage young people from pursuing those careers in favor of racking up massive student loan debt and pursuing professional careers that may not always play to their strengths.In Blue Is the New White, Josh Zolin shows that success doesn’t have to mean a college degree. He discovered this firsthand, rising through hard work from a technician at his dad’s small business to the CEO of a multi-million-dollar company. There is more than one path to a stable career and a great financial future; in this audiobook, you’ll learn just how many opportunities await you in places you never thought to look.
