THE BOOK
 
At a first look, human behavior seems an inexplicable mess. Why do we behave irrationally? Why is change so hard? What is happiness and why does it seem to escape us?
 
The Control Heuristic offers a new perspective to answer these questions and provides a guiding light to understand the subconscious processes that guide our behavior.
 
Luca Dellanna, author of 5 books, writes here a revealing journey into the true motivations for human behavior. Understanding how the human mind really works is the first step to personal change. Suddenly, the frustrating becomes clear and the complex becomes simple.
Available since: 07/31/2020.
Print length: 348 pages.

    A look into the mind of “the world’s consummate entrepreneur” through his quotes on leadership, branding, innovation, social responsibility, and more (Huffington Post).   Richard Branson, who has been called “England’s most outrageous billionaire,” is also one of the world’s most successful business leaders. Since the age of 16, when he founded Student magazine, Branson has been creating companies and finding innovative ways to grow them into the prodigious conglomerate known as the Virgin Group. At the age of 20, Branson founded a mail-order record retailer. Two years later he built a recording studio where the first artist signed to his Virgin label, Mike Oldfield, recorded the haunting soundtrack to The Exorcist. Decades later, industries as varied as entertainment (Virgin Music), retail (Virgin Megastores), transportation (Virgin Airlines), and telecommunications (Virgin Mobile) all bear Branson’s business moniker. For the first time, the most thought-provoking, revealing, and inspiring quotes from Branson have been compiled in a single book.   Updated and redesigned since its initial publication in 2013 as Virgin Rebel: Richard Branson in His Own Words, this new edition is a comprehensive guidebook to the inner workings of the Virgin Group chairman and founder. Hundreds of Branson’s best quotes, comprising thoughts on business, music, entrepreneurship, politics, exploration, and life lessons, provide an intimate and direct look into the mind of this modern business icon.  “I have no secret. There are no rules to follow in business. I just work hard and, as I always have done, believe I can do it.” —Screw It, Let’s Do It, page 30

There seems to be so much pressure to be the perfect parent, and as a result, parents become either too soft or too harsh. In their latest collaboration, The Power of Showing Up, Siegel and Bryson leverage their decades of experience in the area of child psychology to show parents that there is a better way. Perfection shouldn’t be the goal. Instead, parents should focus on establishing a secure attachment with their child. This is achieved by ensuring that your child feels safe, seen, soothed, and secure. In other words, focus less on the child’s behavior and more on the parent-child relationship. This way, you will be able to turn your home into a secure base from which your child can launch out into the world, knowing full well that they have the support that never wavers.DISCLAIMER: This book is intended as a companion to, not a replacement for, The Power of Showing Up.
