PENGUIN/RIVERHEAD BOOKS Messy (Hardback) By Tim Harford & Thinking Fast and Slow By Daniel Kahneman 2 Books Collection Set
Messy (Hardback) By Tim Harford & Thinking Fast and Slow By Daniel Kahneman 2 Books Collection Set: Messy (Hardback) The urge to tidiness seems to be rooted deep in the human psyche. Many of us feel threatened by anything that is vague, unplanned, scattered around or hard to describe. We find comfort in having a script to rely on, a system to follow, in being able to categorise and file away.We all benefit from tidy organisation - up to a point. A large library needs a reference system. Global trade needs the shipping container. Scientific collaboration needs measurement units. But the forces of tidiness have marched too far. Thinking Fast and Slow Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. This book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical), and gives you practical techniques for slower, smarter thinking. It will enable to you make better decisions at work, at home, and in everything you do.

Riverhead Books Messy - The Power Of Disorder To Transform Our Lives by Tim Harford
Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives Description From the award-winning columnist and author of the national bestseller The Undercover Economist comes a provocative big idea book about the genuine benefits of being messy: at home; at work; in the classroom; and beyond. Look out for Tim's next book; Fifty Inventions That Shaped the Modern Economy. Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives celebrates the benefits that messiness has in our lives: why it's important; why we resist it; and why we should embrace it instead. Using research from neuroscience; psychology; social science; as well as captivating examples of real people doing extraordinary things; Tim Harford explains that the human qualities we value - creativity; responsiveness; resilience - are integral to the disorder; confusion; and disarray that produce them. From the music studio of Brian Eno to the Lincoln Memorial with Martin Luther King; Jr.; from the board room to the classroom; messiness lies at the core of how we innovate; how we achieve; how we reach each other - in short; how we succeed. In Messy; you'll learn about the unexpected connections between creativity and mess; understand why unexpected changes of plans; unfamiliar people; and unforeseen events can help generate new ideas and opportunities as they make you anxious and angry; and come to appreciate that the human inclination for tidiness - in our personal and professional lives; online; even in children's play - can mask deep and debilitating fragility that keep us from innovation. Stimulating and readable as it points exciting ways forward; Messy is an insightful exploration of the real advantages of mess in our lives.

John Green 5 Books Collection Set - Ages 12-16 - Paperback PenguinJohn Green, a name synonymous with poignant young adult (YA) fiction, has an uncanny ability to delve into the labyrinthine corridors of the adolescent mind. With a handful of bestsellers to his name, including The Fault in Our Stars, An Abundance of Katherines , Will Grayson Will Grayson, Turtles All the Way Down and Looking For Alaska. Green’s literary prowess has made him one of the most influential YA authors of our time. His books are not just stories; they are journeys into the complexities of youth, love, and the human condition. Purchase all five books in this collection, now available and in stock at Books2Door. Titles in This Set: The Fault in Our Stars An Abundance of Katherines Will Grayson Will Grayson Turtles All the Way Down Looking For Alaska Love, in all its multifaceted glory, is another dominant theme in Green’s work. Unlike a lot of YA fiction that often portrays teenage love as simple and straightforward, Green takes a different approach. His characters often confront the messiness, the elation, and the inevitable heartbreak that comes with first love. The romances in his books are deeply entwined with self-discovery and often serve as catalysts for personal growth. They challenge traditional romantic tropes and showcase love as a complex entity, complete with its nuances and contradictions. In a world often dismissive of the experiences and emotions of young people, John Green stands as a compelling counterpoint, showing us that the trials and tribulations of youth are as complex, meaningful, and deserving of exploration as those of any other phase of human life. Through his vivid storytelling, rich characterisations, and deep thematic explorations, he has established himself as a cornerstone in the realm of YA fiction, with a resonance that reaches far beyond it. About the Author: Born on August 24, 1977, in Indianapolis, Indiana, John Green is an American author, vlogger, producer, and educator renowned for his contributions to young adult fiction and digital media. John Green’s debut, Looking for Alaska, was published in 2005 and immediately caught attention for its raw and authentic portrayal of teenage life. This success was followed by An Abundance of Katherines (2006) and Paper Towns (2008), the latter of which debuted at number 5 on the New York Times Best Seller list for children's books. However, it was the 2012 novel The Fault in Our Stars that catapulted Green into literary superstardom. Dealing with themes of love, loss, and the meaning of life through the story of two teenagers with cancer, the book received widespread critical acclaim and was later adapted into a successful feature film. Green’s writing style, characterised by sharp wit, relatable characters, and deep emotional and philosophical undertones, has garnered a vast and dedicated following. He has won numerous awards, including the Michael L. Printz Award, and his books have been translated into multiple languages. His books have not only become...19,99 £*Shipping: 2,99 £Secure redirect to the provider

Curtis Sittenfeld 3 Books Collection Set - Fiction - Paperback PenguinTitles in this set: 1. Prep 2. Rodham 3. Romantic Comedy Description: Prep Lee Fiora is a shy fourteen-year-old when she leaves small-town Indiana for a scholarship at Ault, an exclusive boarding school in Massachusetts. Her head is filled with images from the school brochure of handsome boys in sweaters leaning against old brick buildings, girls running with lacrosse sticks across pristine athletics fields, everyone singing hymns in chapel. But as she soon learns, Ault is a minefield of unstated rules and incomprehensible social rituals, and Lee must work hard to find - and maintain - her place in the pecking order. Rodham Smart, diligent, and a bit plain, that's the general consensus. Then Hillary goes to college, and her star rises. At Yale Law School, she continues to be a leader - and catches the eye of driven, handsome and charismatic Bill. But when he asks her to marry him, Hillary gives him a firm No. How might things have turned out for them, for America, for the world itself, if Hillary Rodham had really turned down Bill Clinton? With her sharp but always compassionate eye, Sittenfeld explores the loneliness, moral ambivalence and iron determination that characterise the quest for high office, as well as the painful compromises demanded of female ambition in a world ruled by men. Romantic Comedy Life is (not)* a Romantic Comedy... After a series of heartbreaks, Sally Milz - successful script writer for a legendary late-night TV comedy show - has long abandoned the search for love. But when her friend and fellow writer begins to date a glamorous actress, he joins the growing club of interesting but average-looking men who get romantically involved with accomplished, beautiful women. Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch, poking fun at this 'social rule'. The reverse never happens for a woman. Then Sally meets Noah, a pop idol with a reputation for dating models. But this isn't a romantic comedy - it's real life. Would someone like him ever date someone like her? Skewering all our certainties about why we fall in love, ROMANTIC COMEDY is a witty and probing tale of how the heart will follow itself, no matter what anyone says.29,97 £*Shipping: 2,99 £Secure redirect to the provider
