  We humans are messy, illogical creatures who like to imagine we’re in control—but we blithely let our biases lead us astray. In Design for Cognitive Bias, David Dylan Thomas lays bare the irrational forces that shape our everyday decisions and, inevitably, inform the experiences we craft. Once we grasp the logic powering these forces, we stand a fighting chance of confronting them, tempering them, and even harnessing them for good. Come along on a whirlwind tour of the cognitive biases that encroach on our lives and our work, and learn to start designing more consciously. 
  THIS BOOK EXPLORES: 
  • Why our brains take shortcuts—and why that matters in our work 
  • How bias influences everything from user behavior to stakeholder decision-making to team dynamics 
  • Techniques for noticing your own biases, and using them for good where you can 
  • Making more humane and conscientious products and experiences

  The story of life on a French olive farm continues with this moving memoir of hard work, hard luck, and waiting for the return of happiness. Carol Drinkwater and her husband, Michel, arrive at their villa in Provence in anticipation of another glorious summer. Unfortunately, they find the farm unkempt and suffering from lack of rainfall. When their gardener, Monsieur Quashia, finally shows up, he cheerfully explains the shed-building project he’s working on as a surprise for them—a surprise that will send their expenses skyrocketing. But there are bigger problems to come than wild boars tearing through fences and other everyday challenges of farming. After a terrifying accident in Monte Carlo and a hospital stay, Michel is barely functional, and Carol soon realizes she must fend for herself. Burdened with problems from a financial reversal to the threat of nearby wildfires, she will experience firsthand the uncertainties that have plagued farmers since the dawn of agriculture—and hold on to hope that in the end, nature will provide. “A storyteller of great economy and deftness.” —The Telegraph

  The open ocean, far from the shore and miles above the seafloor, is a vast and formidable habitat that is home to the most abundant life on our planet, from giant squid and jellyfish to anglerfish with bioluminescent lures that draw prey into their toothy mouths. Into the Great Wide Ocean takes listeners inside the peculiar world of the seagoing scientists who are providing tantalizing new insights into how the animals of the open ocean solve the problems of their existence. 
   
   
   
  Sönke Johnsen vividly describes how life in the water column of the open sea contends with a host of environmental challenges, such as gravity, movement, the absence of light, pressure that could crush a truck, catching food while not becoming food, finding a mate, raising young, and forming communities. He interweaves stories about the joys and hardships of the scientists who explore this beautiful and mysterious realm, which is under threat from human activity and rapidly changing before our eyes. 
   
   
   
  Into the Great Wide Ocean presents the sea and its inhabitants as you have never seen them before and reminds us that the rules of survival in the open ocean, though they may seem strange to us, are the primary rules of life on Earth.

  So, this is how it often goes… even though you feel exhausted and cannot wait to get some relaxing good night’s sleep… when you get into bed and close your eyes, you just cannot seem to turn your mind off… your body feels tense… or you find yourself waking up every hour to check your phone. In an age of information and hustle, the natural rhythm of our bodies can often be easily disturbed… Your lifestyle, daily activities, diet, and emotional or physical well-being may all play a role in your body’s natural ability to fall asleep or enjoy deep sleep. While you may not have much control over how your day goes and how much caffeine you end up consuming to meet that deadline… imagine that the minute you get into bed is when you gain complete control over your mind and body 
  If it is difficult for you to disconnect from the day and make the decision to surrender to your body’s natural needs, you may consider creating a relaxing nighttime routine to help you with this. This may include putting your phone away from your bed, reading a book, journaling, practicing gratitude, and listening to this deep sleep meditation and affirmations. Regardless of what this may look like for you, consider this time as an opportunity to prep your mind and body to transition from an active state of doing to a state of relaxing. Let your body know that it is time to slow down and immerse itself in deep relaxation. 
  Centering our attention on our body, allows us to listen to it, acknowledge it and be aware of the cues it is giving us. When we lead hectic lifestyles or go through hardships, we disconnect from our bodies. Consider that nighttime is when you give love to your body by acknowledging all the hard work it did for you throughout the day… and invite it to relax and let go. By sending your loving attention to the different parts of your body, you are communicating that it is safe to let go and move into a state of relaxation
