Lessons on Building a Beautiful Life

Still Bobbi

We all know what it's like to hold back from making a decisive move, offering our most candid feedback, or even advocating for ourselves because it was easier and safer to take the well-travelled path - but these are also the hinge points that transform reputations, relationships, and results. Drawing on a landmark seven-year study of 34,000 people, JP Pawliw and Bill Benjamin reveal a consistent pattern: in high-stakes moments people hold back an average of 7.56% of what can make the crucial difference between 'taking your shot' and regret at failing to do so. Rounded, they call this gap the 'Last 8%'. The book explores the brain function reasons for this gap and equips readers with effective tools to close the gap. Blending neuroscience, behavioural research, and stories from astronauts, Olympic athletes, Fortune 100 executives, and frontline professionals, THE LAST 8% provides a practical roadmap for acting with decisiveness in pressure situations. It teaches individuals to regulate their biology in the heat of the moment, while also offering leaders a proprietary framework - the Last 8% Culture Map - to build teams and organisations where candour, accountability and trust drive performance.

Kathrin Fischer, Host des Podcasts 'Erschöpfung statt Gelassenheit', setzt sich kritisch mit dem Achtsamkeits- und Selbstfürsorgetrend auseinander. 'Ein glänzendes Stück Aufklärung.' Harald Welzer

Meditation, Journaling, Atemübungen - immer mehr Menschen nutzen Achtsamkeitspraktiken als Zuflucht vor den Krisen unserer Zeit. Doch statt zu mehr Ruhe und innerer Stärke zu führen, treiben diese Techniken nicht selten noch tiefer hinein in das Hamsterrad aus Selbstoptimierung und Erschöpfung. Achtsamkeit ist längst nicht mehr bloß eine persönliche Praxis, sondern hat sich zur Ideologie entwickelt, die gesellschaftliche Missstände individualisiert, negative Gefühle als unzulässig darstellt und die Gesellschaft weiter spaltet. 

Scharfsinnig seziert Kathrin Fischer in ihrem augenöffnenden Buch den Achtsamkeitstrend und plädiert dafür, sich nicht länger ins Private zurückzuziehen, sondern gemeinsam eine gerechtere Zukunft zu gestalten.

Der Code zum Erfolg

Do you wish you could decode people? Do you want a formula for charisma? Do you want to know exactly what to say to your boss, your date or your networking partner? You need to know how people work. As a human behaviour investigator, Vanessa Van Edwards studies the hidden forces that drive our behaviour patterns in her lab - and she's cracked the code. In Captivate she shares a wealth of shortcuts, systems and behaviour hacks derived from her research, to help you take charge of interactions at work and at home. You'll learn how to execute a social game plan to navigate any social situation; how to speed-read faces for 7 universal 'micro-expressions' that can be used to predict people's emotions; and much more besides. When you understand the laws of human behaviour you can get along with anyone. With Vanessa's help, you will never interact in the same way again.

The Science of Succeeding with People

Captivate

'For anyone who has wondered whether they'll ever be in charge of their emotions, this book has the answer: yes' - Angela Duckworth, author of Grit 'This book does much more than make sense of emotions - it breaks new ground on how to manage them' - Adam Grant, author of Think Again Whether it's anxiety about the dentist, boiling rage when we're stuck in traffic or devastation after a painful break-up, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiralling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. When they're activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation and helping us make the right choices. But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Dr Ethan Kross has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In Shift, he dispels common myths - for instance, that avoidance is toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment - and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don't take over our lives. Shift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotions - from a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughter's life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Dr Kross shows us that we already have access to a wide array of tools and demonstrates how to harness them to be healthier and more successful. Filled with actionable advice, cutting-edge research and inspiring stories, Shift puts the power back into our hands, so we can control our emotions without them controlling us - and help others do the same. 'Packed with gems of wisdom and endless actionable advice on emotional regulation, Shift is essential reading for everyone. I couldn't put it down' - Chris Evans 'A revolutionary guide to mastering your emotional life' - Charles Duhigg, author of Supercommunicators
