Book Description:
Compiled more than two thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior-philosopher, The Art of War is still perhaps the most prestigious and influential book of strategy in the world today, as eagerly studied in Asia by modern politicians and executives as it as been by military leaders since ancient times. As a study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict, The Art of War applies to competition and conflict in general, on every level from the interpersonal to the international. Its aim is invincibility, victory without battle, and unassailable strength through understanding of the physics, politics, and psychology of conflict. This translation presents the classic from the point of view of its background in the great spiritual tradition of Taoism, the origin of psychology, science, and technology in East Asia and the source of the insights into human nature that underlie this most revered of handbooks for success. Translated from a standard collection of commentaries on Sun Tzu's text by eleven interpreters, the work has been edited by Thomas Cleary to bring out the meaning of the principles of strategy. In addition, the translator provides an extensive introduction discussing the content and background of the book.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
Author: Susan Cain
ISBN-10: 0670916757
ISBN-13: 9780670916757
Published: 2012-03-01
Publisher: Viking
|
Book Description:
Our lives are driven by a fact that most of us can't name and don't understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed. That fact is whether we're an introvert or an extrovert. The introvert/extrovert divide is the most fundamental dimension of personality. And at least a third of us are on the introverted side. Some of the world's most talented people are introverts. Without them we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers. Yet extroverts have taken over. Shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as being negative. Introverts feel reproached for being the way they are. In "Quiet", Susan Cain shows how the brain chemistry of introverts and extroverts differs, and how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts. She gives introverts the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with real stories, "Quiet" will permanently change how we see introverts - and how you see yourself.

Why do some people achieve so much more than others? Can they lie so far out of the ordinary? In his provocative and inspiring book, Malcolm Gladwell looks at everyone from rock stars to professional athletes, software billionaires to scientific geniuses, to show that the story of success is far more surprising, and more fascinating, than we could ever have imagined. He reveals that it's as much about where we're from and what we do, as who we are - and that no one, not even a genius, ever makes it alone. "Outliers" will change the way you think about your own life story, and about what makes us all unique. Like "Blink", this is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.

How to Win Friends & Influence People (Revised)

Published: 1981-09-02
Publisher: Simon & Schuster

Book Description:
"How to Win Friends and Influence People" is one of the first bestselling self-help books ever published. Written by Dale Carnegie and first published in 1937, it has sold more than 15 million copies. It has been translated into many different languages and was a New York Times best seller for 10 years. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due to 15 percent "professional knowledge" and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, assume leadership, and arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated, without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie also emphasizes that, the ability to speak is a shortcut to distinction. It puts a person in the limelight, raises one head and shoulders above the crowd. And the person who can speak acceptably is usually given credit for an ability out of all proportion to what he or she really possesses. 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' will enable you to: 1: Get out of a mental rut think new thoughts acquire new visions discover new ambitions2: Make friends quickly and easily3: Increase your popularity 4: Win people to your way of thinking 5: Increase your influence your prestige your ability to get things done 6: Handle complaints avoid arguments keep your human contacts smooth and pleasant 7: Become a better speaker a more entertaining conversationalist 8: Arouse enthusiasm among your associates

Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior
Author: Leonard Mlodinow
ISBN-10: 0307378217
ISBN-13: 9780307378217
Published: 2012-04-24
Publisher: Pantheon
|
Book Description:
Leonard Mlodinow, the best-selling author of The Drunkard’s Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), gives us a startling and eye-opening examination of how the unconscious mind shapes our experience of the world and how, for instance, we often misperceive our relationships with family, friends, and business associates, misunderstand the reasons for our investment decisions, and misremember important events.Your preference in politicians, the amount you tip your waiter—all judgments and perceptions reflect the workings of our mind on two levels: the conscious, of which we are aware, and the unconscious, which is hidden from us. The latter has long been the subject of speculation, but over the past two decades researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the hidden, or subliminal, workings of the mind. The result of this explosion of research is a new science of the unconscious and a sea change in our understanding of how the subliminal mind affects the way we live.Employing his trademark wit and lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a tour of this research, unraveling the complexities of the subliminal self and increasing our understanding of how the human mind works and how we interact with friends, strangers, spouses, and coworkers. In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around us.
