  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Undoing Project" by Michael Lewis explores the collaborative relationship between psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, two brilliant minds who revolutionized the field of behavioral economics. The book delves into their contrasting personalities and approaches to research, highlighting how their individual differences fueled their groundbreaking discoveries about human judgment and decision-making. The narrative traces their journey from their early years in Israel to their influential work in the United States, revealing how their joint efforts exposed the systematic errors and biases in human thinking. It examines the various heuristics and biases that affect decision-making, such as representativeness, availability, and anchoring, and explores how people often deviate from rational thought. The book explores how these psychological insights challenged existing economic theories, and had an impact on fields beyond academia.

  TWELVE GENERATIONS, 4,094 of your ancestors, came together from all over the world to create you. They made choices that gave you this moment to do something great and be something great. You are that one person. 
  You are “the one.” But what if you’re struggling? What if success is elusive, nonexistent even? What if you’re facing unique challenges or circumstances? What if luck isn’t on your side? What if your dreams and goals seem impossible or unclear? 
  In Be the One, author and speaker Justin Prince shares a roadmap, an instruction manual, that lays out simple but powerful steps you can take—today—to redesign your future and live an unforgettable life. Regardless of your roots, your background, your education, your experience, your resources, or your lack thereof. 
  Filled with poignant stories and personal examples from Prince’s own life, this book will show you how to: 
  • Design your future by clarifying your vision. 
  • Build your confidence, commitment, and competence in everything you do. 
  • Ignite your focus, motivation, and inspiration with science-backed strategies and habits. 
  • Discover the four words spoken by John C. Maxwell that changed everything for Prince. 
  • Unearth hidden secrets to success from people such as Michael Jordan, Martin Luther King Jr., Anne Mulcahy, Steve Jobs, and more. 
  By “being the one,” your story will live on long after you’re gone. Be the One will show you how to both maximize your life and cement your legacy. 
  Like your ancestors, you make choices that will affect not only you, but also all others in your path, today, tomorrow, and for years to come. Decide today to succeed. For yourself and for them. Decide to “Be the One.”

  Cinderella Ate My Daughter

  Peggy Orenstein, acclaimed author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestsellers Girls & Sex and Schoolgirls, offers a radical, timely wake-up call for parents, revealing the dark side of a pretty and pink culture confronting girls at every turn as they grow into adults. 
  Sweet and sassy or predatory and hardened, sexualized girlhood influences our daughters from infancy onward, telling them that how a girl looks matters more than who she is. Somewhere between the exhilarating rise of Girl Power in the 1990s and today, the pursuit of physical perfection has been recast as the source of female empowerment. And commercialization has spread the message faster and farther, reaching girls at ever-younger ages. But how dangerous is pink and pretty, anyway? Being a princess is just make-believe; eventually they grow out of it . . . or do they? 
   
  In search of answers, Peggy Orenstein visited Disneyland, trolled American Girl Place, and met parents of beauty-pageant preschoolers tricked out like Vegas showgirls. The stakes turn out to be higher than she ever imagined. From premature sexualization to the risk of depression to rising rates of narcissism, the potential negative impact of this new girlie-girl culture is undeniable—yet armed with awareness and recognition, parents can effectively counterbalance its influence in their daughters' lives.

  Death and its Terrible Horrible...

  It's Time to Invite Death Out of the Closet! 
  The impending or actual death of someone close to you can be devastating. It doesn't matter if you knew it was coming, or if it was a total shock-you'll never be the same. There is no right way to grieve, and no appropriate time frame. It's different for everyone. 
  Author and therapist gone rogue, Becky Aud-Jennison, the creator of The Death Dialogues Project and podcast, has sewn together threads from people's shared personal stories and her own experiences, using them to offer insight and comfort to those who are experiencing the loss of a loved one or want to become more death-literate. 
  Calling on her years as a clinician, you will also find soothing, research-based techniques to help ease the ache of trauma and loss. 
  Many do not realize we now have choice surrounding our deaths and how our bodies are treated. Similar to birth being brought back into the home, there has been a wave of people doing the same with death, creating moving and personal experiences at the dying time and in the aftermath. Like homebirth, it may not be for everyone, but aren't we better humans for understanding the terrain? 
  With this project's aim of promoting death literacy, you will find story and commentary surrounding death and end-of-life choices (such as having a loved one's body at home). 
  It's time to take these historically "hush-hush" conversations out into the open. Here you will also find resources and a community where you can further explore or seek support as you continue your journey. 
  This book will gently hold you as you increase your awareness and comfort surrounding death and is a perfect offering to others at those times when there are no words.
