Author and consultant Jennifer Garvey Berger has worked with all types of leaders—from top executives at Google to nonprofit directors who are trying to make a dent in social change. She hears a version of the same plea from every client in nearly every sector around the world: "I know that complexity and uncertainty are testing my instincts, but I don't know which to trust. Is there some way to know what to do when I can't know what's next?" Her newest work is an answer to this plea. Using her background in adult development, complexity theories, and leadership consultancy, Garvey Berger discerns five pernicious and pervasive "mind traps" to frame the book. These are: the desire for simple stories, our sense that we are right, our desire to get along with others in our group, our fixation with control, and our constant quest to protect and defend our egos. In addition to understanding why these natural impulses steer us wrong in a fast-moving world, leaders will get powerful questions and approaches that help them escape these patterns.

Dr. Van Tharp, noted investment psychologist and "Market Wizard" highly recommends this outstanding book. Most investors are biologically and culturally "wired" to lose money when they play the markets, but this has nothing to do with what the market does. It has everything to do with the way they think. The investor is his own worst enemy. "Mindtraps" convincingly shows you how to overcome the psychological snares which cause you to lose in the market.

"Helping and giving are good but some types are unintentionally unhelpful and unhealthy. Unhealthy Helping contains psychology-based explanations and solutions for people who help and give in ways that are harmful to themselves, others, or their relationships. Psychology professor and Psychology Today blogger Shawn Meghan Burn explores codependent and dysfunctional helping and giving relationships, how to tell the difference between unhealthy and healthy helping and giving, the social and psychological sources of codependence and unhealthy helping and giving, and how even the best intentions can go unexpectedly wrong (and what to do about it). Unhealthy Helping will help you find that helping and giving sweet spot where your help is truly helpful and your giving is healthy for others, your relationships, and for you."--Back cover.

When we get near money, our decision-making processes often go haywire. It's like placing a compass next to a magnet-we can't figure out which direction is north, and our finances can head south as a result. Within the growing academic field of behavioral finance, researchers are discovering just how easily we are swayed by subtle emotional forces, no matter how hard we try to make rational choices. Do you hate losing a hundred dollars more than you love receiving a hundred dollars? Are you reluctant to make an investment if the people around you aren't doing so? These kinds of mental biases have a huge-though often unnoticed-influence on our decisions about money. In The Foolish Corner, finance expert John Howe offers an introduction to these biases, showing you how to locate them in your own approach to money and uncover their effects on your life. Learn how to head off these subliminal influences-and sometimes even use them to your advantage.
