  Cognitive Biases in a Nutshell -...

  The decisions you're most certain about are the ones your brain is quietly rigging against you.
   
  You like to think of yourself as rational. Yet how often have you replayed a choice for hours, wondering how you got it so wrong when it felt so right? The truth is that your mind takes shortcuts you never authorized, and they shape what you buy, who you trust, and how you judge others.
   
  These hiccups run silently in the background, and left unchecked they cost you money, relationships, and opportunities you never even knew you missed.
   
  Once you can name a bias, you can catch it in the act. This is a plain-English guide to the mental traps everyone falls into, and the foundation of real critical thinking.
   
  In this audiobook, you'll discover:
  
  Why your brain builds these shortcuts - the four pressures behind every cognitive bias: too much information, not enough meaning, the need to act fast, and what to remember.
  The two systems driving every decision - how fast, automatic thinking overrides slow, careful reasoning.
  Why the last thing you heard sticks - the availability heuristic, and how vivid recent events skew what feels likely.
  How a random number warps your judgment - the anchoring effect that sets your expectations before you've even thought.
  Why you defend choices you secretly regret - choice-supportive bias and the way memory rewrites the past to protect your ego.
  How your mood masquerades as logic - the affect heuristic that lets a feeling stand in for a fact.
  Why you only notice what you're looking for - attentional bias and where it comes from.
  
   
  Everything here is drawn from academic research and organized around the Cognitive Bias Codex, which sorts the biases into four groups you can actually remember.
   
  You don't need a psychology degree; every idea arrives through everyday stories and clear examples. Spot the hiccups in your own thinking, and start making decisions you won't spend the next week second-guessing.

  Ownership - The Evangelical...

  ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award
  The Gospel Coalition Book Awards Award of Distinction–History and Biography
  Men of their time?
  Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, and George Whitefield were the three most prominent early evangelicals—and all three were deeply compromised on the issue of slavery. Edwards and Whitefield both kept slaves themselves, and Wesley failed to speak out against slavery until near the end of his life.
  In Ownership, Sean McGever tells the true story of these men's relationships to slavery: a story that has too often been passed over or buried in scholarly literature. Laying out the dominant attitudes among Christians toward slavery at the time, McGever sets these "men of their times" in their own context, inviting us to learn how these shapers of American evangelicalism contributed to the tragic history of racism in America. He also explores how Christians finally began to recognizethat slavery, which they'd excused for most of Christian history, is actually wrong. It's a story that white evangelicals must wrestle with today.
  Ownership is more than a book of history. It's an invitation to examine our own legacies and to understand—and take ownership of—both our heritage and our own part in the story.

  If you’ve ever thought, “I really want to write a book, but…” this book is for you. 
  Despite what you may have heard, becoming a successful author isn’t about having 67,973 Instagram followers, reaching “bestselling” status for seven seconds, or having Beyoncé take your book on tour with her (as amazing as that would be!). 
  It’s about impacting one person so deeply that they can’t help but recommend your book again and again. It’s also about uncovering more of yourself while you tell your story so that your unique light can’t help but shine more brightly upon the world. 
  This practical, thorough guide to writing and publishing nonfiction and memoir helps you: 
  ★ Go from constantly questioning your writing ability, message, and expertise to confidently owning the valuable insights and perspectives you bring to the world 
  ★ Remove overthinking when it comes to how a book “should” come together and instead gain absolute clarity in the book-writing process your favorite authors follow 
  ★ Understand the six lesser-talked-about steps you really need to consider when writing a truly impactful book 
  ★ Get completely clear on your book’s core message, your magnetic hook, and how to speak directly to your target readers with understanding, compassion, and a roadmap that clearly lays out their next steps 
  You don’t need more experience, motivation, or hours in the day to write a book you’re immensely proud of. Once you know what to focus on and how to navigate the avalanche of “But what if…?” that arises along the way, you’ll finally be able to get the damn book written so it can take its rightful place as someone else’s favorite read.
