A Graphic Tale of Psychotherapy

Jennifer Petriglieri

Every couple wants a happy relationship and a meaningful career but how do we balance both at the same time? 
 
In Couples that Work, Professor Jennifer Petriglieri shifts away from the language of sacrifice and trade-offs and focuses on how couples can successfully tackle the challenges they will face throughout their lives--together. The book explores key questions like: 
 
Can you and your partner have equally important careers or must you prioritise one over the other? 
How can you juggle children or family commitments without sacrificing your work? 
Does every decision require compromise or can you find solutions that benefit you both? 
 
Identifying common triggers and traps working couples face, and offering resolution and reflection through tools and engaging exercises, this book will help every couple design their own unique way to combine love and work at every stage of their journey. 
 
Finding fulfilment in both love and work may just be easier than you think.

Teach Your Child How To Think

Alex Edmans

Global markets have been thrown into chaos, as crazy investments lead to wild booms and busts, economic inequality and even political fallout. 
 
In The Madness of Markets, Professor Alex Edmans uncovers the hidden forces that have driven global markets off course – from Reddit frenzies to CEO ego trips – hype cycles and social contagion have caused even the smartest investors to make irrational decisions. 
 
Their mistakes can become your advantage. Edmans shows not only how you can protect yourself from costly investing mistakes, but also how to capitalise when others misstep. Through insights and strategies built upon his leading research, discover how to make smart decisions in a world that often thinks fast, loud and wrong.

The Madness of Markets

Why Smart Investors Make Crazy Decisions and How to Exploit Them

Most of our everyday decision-making tends to be confrontational. Whether in large meetings, one-to-one or even in our own heads, opposite view points are pitted against each other. Ultimately, there must be a winner and a loser. 
 
In I Am Right,You Are Wrong, lateral-thinking guru Edward de Bono challenges this 'rock logic' of rigid categories and point-scoring arguments which is both destructive and exhausting. 
 
Instead he reveals how we can all be winners. Clearer perception is the key to constructive thinking and more open-minded creativity. 
 
In overturning conventional wisdom, Edward de Bono will help you to become a better thinker and decision maker.

I Am Right, You Are Wrong

Building on her many years of professional experience and inspired by her own personal challenges and sh*t-fixing moments, How to Fix Your Sh*t is your pocket life coach.
