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.

Penguin Books My Secret Unicorn 10 Books Collection Set
My Secret Unicorn 10 Books Collection Set (Rising Star; Friends Forever; Twilight Magic; A Touch of Magic; A Special Friend; Stronger Than Magic; Starlight Surprise; Flying High; Dreams Come True; The Magic Spell)   Description A new adventure starring Lauren and her magical pony; Twilight who turns into a beautiful; snow-white unicorn when Lauren says the magic words. Rising Star Twilight. Lauren and Twilight are delighted to learn that Currant; the new foal at Orchard Stables; is also a unicorn; and that Lauren's friend Grace is his special unicorn friend. Now they can all have fun together. But Currant soon realises being a unicorn is not as easy as he thinks; particularly when it comes to flying. Currant needs lots of help and; luckily; Lauren and Twilight know just what to do.   Friends Forever Best friends Lauren and Mel are really excited about going to pony camp; but when they get there they are surprised to find that they're not in the same cabin. Mel soon makes lots of new friends and Lauren feels left out. But then she discovers that Mel's team-mates are not as nice as they seem. Can Twilight's magic help to persuade Mel that she's making a big mistake?   Twilight Magic That night Lauren and Twilight visit the foal in secret. Suddenly Twilight hears a noise and they find Jade up to no good. Apple; fiercely protective of her foal; is frightened and angry at Jade's intrusion. Even though she doesn't like Jade; Lauren knows she has to do something to help. Lauren and Twilight make a daring rescue to save Jade who has to admit that she may have been wrong about Twilight after all. Later; Lauren and Twilight discover the reason for Apple's over-protectiveness - that maybe; just maybe; Currant is a new unicorn; but they'll have to wait at least a year to find out...   A Touch of Magic Caring for your pet is really important to Lauren; especially if your pet turns out to be as special and as magical as Twilight; but her little brother Max disagrees. He has grown tired of looking after Buddy; his big; lively puppy and leaves him all alone while he goes out to play on his skateboard. But one day Buddy goes missing and Max is distraught. Lauren secretly turns Twilight into a unicorn and together they fly over the woods in search of the young dog. They find him; but he's badly injured. Twilight uses his new-found healing power to save Buddy. Max promises never to neglect his pet again - after all; you can't be best friends with a skateboard like you can with a dog!   A Special Friend Lauren is almost sure that Moonshine is another secret unicorn who needs someone special to turn her into her magical shape. Feeling sorry for the lonely pony; Lauren pays her a visit and is surprised to see a strange boy nearby. Lauren discovers that Michael longs to have a pony of his own. Could he be the special friend that Moonshine needs to become a unicorn?   Stronger Than Magic On one of their evening fly- arounds Twilight starts to feel ill and he and Lauren...
