Dawson G: Critical Thinking

Critical Thinking

Solve Hard Problems Easily, Make Better Decisions, and Bulletproof Your Mind

A rollicking guide to&nbsp;a lifetime of choices, full of practical tips for getting the most from&nbsp;your time and money—from economist and international bestselling author Daniel Altman Stuck wondering whether to sell your house? Can’t get a good deal on a used car? Not to worry—economics can help. That’s because&nbsp;economics isn’t just about charts, markets, and prices.&nbsp;It’s also the&nbsp;science of decisions, full of pointers and principles for maximizing your wellbeing every day. Bestselling economist Daniel Altman cracks open the vault of microeconomics, revealing razor-sharp thinking&nbsp;that is&nbsp;refreshingly, actually useful. Through thirty real-world decisions—from “what’s for dinner?” to “how many kids should we have?”—he shows how a small, accessible dose of economics&nbsp;can unlock big&nbsp;gains in time, money, and sanity. The Best Decisions You’ll Ever Make is an essential toolkit for snapping out of&nbsp;decision paralysis and coming out ahead in every&nbsp;tradeoff. It’s an empowering, entertaining user’s manual&nbsp;that you’ll return to again and again—one that’ll supercharge every choice you make.

60 Second Logic Challenge: Volume 12

We know that we must change ourselves and the world if we want to survive. So why do we cling to old habits and false certainties instead of embracing change now? In New Beginnings, Stefan Klein delves into the most pressing problems facing our world - from the climate crisis to the rapid development of artificial intelligence - and investigates why individuals and societies often resist necessary changes, despite knowing the risks of inaction. Blending scientific insights with vivid storytelling, Klein unpacks the psychological and social forces that keep us stuck, and identifies what he calls the 'seven illusions about progress' that hinder our ability to adapt. Central to his analysis is the idea that transformation is not only necessary but also achievable, provided we understand the mechanisms of change and embrace a mindset that values adaptability. New Beginnings stands out for its ability to make complex global challenges comprehensible and relatable. With his trademark clarity and optimism, Klein inspires belief that necessary change is not only possible but accessible for a sustainable future.

Bear's World

This companion title to Natalia Shaloshvili’s award-winning book Bear is a funny and comforting take on how to cope with constant worrying. With a little help from his friend Duck, Bear finds that even when his biggest (cookie-related!) worries do come true, it’s not the end of the world. &nbsp; At first, Bear is happily munching his cookie, until a thought creeps in: what if it’s the last cookie? When this turns out to be true, he sets off for the shops – and his worries mount and mount. He worries about missing the bus . . . and it leaves without him. He worries he’ll get lost . . . and gets lost. By the time he finds the cookie queue, he’s at the very back;¿and his worst worry comes true. The very last cookie goes . . . to Duck!&nbsp; But just when Bear thinks his worst fears have been realised, Duck gently shows him that worries don’t have to end in disaster. By sharing his cookie and reminding Bear that ‘what ifs’ can lead to happy endings too, Duck helps his friend see that things often turn out better than expected.&nbsp; Complete with Natalia Shaloshvili’s expressive, playful illustrations and a story that balances humour with warmth, Bear Worries captures the familiar experience of children (and adults) whose imaginations run away with them. Both entertaining and reassuring, this picture book is the perfect springboard for conversations about anxiety, resilience and friendship.&nbsp; Whether shared at storytime, used in classrooms or given as a thoughtful gift, Bear Worries is an essential addition to every child’s bookshelf. It offers the reminder that no worry is too big when faced together.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A creative's guide for when the only consistency is inconsistency

Managing Chaos

This book—the first to treat workplace culture like a garden instead of a construction project—offers the proven framework that transforms toxic environments into thriving ecosystems where all talent flourishes. Organizations fail when they treat culture like a construction project. But they thrive when they treat it like a garden, cultivating conditions for growth rather than engineering behavior through rigid blueprints. Award-winning consultant Abi Adamson introduces the SERN framework—Soil, Exposure, Roots, Nourishment—to guide leaders toward sustainable cultural transformation. Through compelling stories from her work redesigning cultures at Spotify, Sony Music, and the Gates Foundation, Adamson shows how to make the following positive changes: <ul><li>Detoxify organizational foundations</li><li>Ensure that diverse perspectives get real influence</li><li>Create authentic belonging</li><li>Distribute resources equitably</li></ul> Organizations using this approach report dramatic improvements in psychological safety, authentic engagement, and the ability to retain diverse talent pools. Unlike traditional culture initiatives focused on compliance and conformity, this framework helps leaders identify toxic environmental conditions, move beyond demographic headcounts to actual inclusion, enable people to contribute authentically, and recognize that equal treatment in unequal systems produces unequal outcomes. Set during a pivotal moment when workplace culture programs are being dismantled or reimagined, this practical guide offers leaders a sustainable alternative—treating culture as a living ecosystem that requires ongoing cultivation rather than a one-time structural fix.

“Almost Reckless is not just a book, it's a permission slip. It's about the courage it takes to step off the algorithm's path, the clarity that comes from defining your own principles, and the joy of building something that feels unmistakably yours.” —Will Guidara, bestselling author of Unreasonable Hospitality Amy Smilovic's cult fashion brand, Tibi, was a thriving $70 million business when she realized she was working toward someone else's idea of success.
