Collection: Self-Development

To be successful and enjoy a happy life, it's important to do all the right things: become well educated and wise, develop a strong work ethic, always act with integrity, and treat others well. But what's equally important-yet widely overlooked-is avoiding the calamities that cause you to suffer, go back to square one, or worst of all, die a premature death.

Famed investor Whitney Tilson has made a living managing risks with investments. Now, he turns his attention to the risks in our everyday lives.

The Art of Playing Defense is a practical and actionable guide filled with common sense ideas for avoiding life's calamities, such as marrying the wrong person or having a good marriage go bad, getting thrown in jail, going bankrupt, or suffering a debilitating illness or injury. With Whitney's help, you can avoid these disastrous outcomes.

It's no fun thinking about all the things that can go wrong in life, but if you want to get ahead, you have to start by not falling behind.

Why should you introduce Artificial Intelligence to kids?

Learning AI opens up a world of opportunities. As the fastest growing area of computer science, AI will become the most important change force when our children grow up so it is critical they learn about it early. The field of AI started with scientists making computers learn to play games. AI is an incredibly fun way to introduce kids to programming and pique their interest in advanced topics like deep learning.

Lastly, a topic like AI naturally opens up discussions about our humanity. In the book, we dig deep into questions like "does AI positively or negatively impact society?" In doing so we aim to develop critical thinking skills and encourage students to reflect deeply.

A bold new paradigm for breaking free from negative self-talk and creating a life of confidence, power, and joy, from Master Coach and host of the UnF*ck Your Brain podcast Kara Loewentheil.

I never look good in skirts. I can't ask for a raise or my boss will think I'm greedy. I'm getting too old to find a partner. I'm a bad mom and my kids can tell. I'll never be good enough.

Women absorb a lifetime of sexist social messaging that says our worth is determined by our looks, accomplishments, and what everyone (but ourselves) thinks of us. Take Back Your Brain exposes how the patriarchy hijacks our minds and wrecks our confidence--and shows how to break free once and for all.

For a long time, Kara Loewentheil wasn't sure why she, like so many ambitious women, still wrestled with insecurity and low self-esteem, despite two Ivy League degrees, a successful law career, and a thriving social life. After breaking down under her desk one day, she decided enough was enough. Kara learned the power of thought work, became a Master Certified Life Coach, rewired her brain to overcome sexist social messages, and began to coach other women to do the same.

Now in Take Back Your Brain, she shows you how to undo the socialization you never asked for, starting with reprogramming your core beliefs from patriarchy's corrosive influence. Weaving cognitive psychology and feminist theory with practical thought work exercises, this book teaches you to:

• Identify the conscious and unconscious biases that infiltrate your self-talk,
• Replace self-critical thoughts with new, self-affirming beliefs,
• Embrace your emotions without fear of being seen as "too much,"
• Create new, empowered thought patterns around how you relate to your body, finances, and relationships
• Stop relying on others for validation and start building self-confidence from within.

By changing your thoughts, you can transform your emotions, actions, the direction of your life, and ultimately the world. Because when women unleash their true power, they awaken new possibilities for all of us.

She shares 21 life lessons she's learned to help us accept that when we dare to face our traumas, losses, fears, family dysfunctions, and relationship issues, we can heal from them. She shows us that doing the work of meaningful and consistent self-care not only makes us happier, but better spouses, parents, siblings, lovers, employers, and neighbors. In this powerfully raw and honest book, you'll discover:

- How to manage your emotions before they manage you;

- How to protect your peace, the passport to your soul;

- Why the most important relationship you have is with yourself; and

- How to be intentional about your choices.

The compelling lessons in Be the One You Need clearly demonstrate that the answers we seek to life's questions are always within us. Nelson empowers us to finally ask ourselves, What do I want? What do I need? How do I feel? And once we hear the answers of our soul, how to put them into practice.

What is dreaming, and what causes it? Why are dreams so strange and why are they so hard to remember? Replacing dream mystique with modern dream science, J. Allan Hobson provides a new and increasingly complete picture of how dreaming is created by the brain. Focusing on dreaming to explain the mechanisms of sleep, this book explores how the new science of dreaming is affecting theories in psychoanalysis, and how it is helping our understanding of the causes of mental illness.

J. Allan Hobson investigates his own dreams to illustrate and explain some of the fascinating discoveries of modern sleep science, while challenging some of the traditionally accepted theories about the meaning of dreams. He reveals how dreaming maintains and develops the mind, why we go crazy in our dreams in order to avoid doing so when we are awake, and why sleep is not just good for health but essential for life.
