Twenty five hundred years ago, after years of searching for wisdom, Buddha concluded that “life is suffering.” In his perennial best seller The Road Less Traveled, M. Scott Peck begins with the statement, “Life is difficult.” And when I was a young boy, my father told me, “Life ain’t easy.” This seems to be a universal truth. We all have issues to face, difficulties to surmount, questions that need answering and problems to resolve. We are all faced with the daily dilemmas of life. There are no easy answers, shortcuts or secret techniques to deal with our difficulties. One thing we do know is that you have the capacity to solve your problems and heal your wounds. Your power to do this lies within your ability to choose your reactions, alter your attitudes, control your mental perceptions and change your life. When any event or situation occurs, in that very moment, you have a choice. You can choose to make things better, or choose to make things worse. If you are basing your choice on sound reasoning, rational thinking, and self-awareness; if you are dealing with the issue in the moment; if you are looking for opportunities for learning and growth; if you are looking within for answers; and if you are taking responsibility for your experience, then you are more likely to make things better. Since we are all imperfect, fallible human beings, we all have our own ways of making things worse. This book identifies 101 ways that people typically make things worse and then offers many more strategies, techniques and possible solutions to conquer those self-defeating choices. Here is a list of those 101 ways. Use it as a checklist to identify your specific ways of making things worse. 1. Worry about it 2. Take yourself too seriously 3. Focus all your attention on it 4. Don’t be satisfied unless it’s perfect 5. Think there’s only one way to fix it 6. Stop breathing 7. Avoid it 8. Imagine the worst 9. Think of it as yet another obstacle to overcome 10.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER More people than ever before see themselves as addicted to, or recovering from, addiction, whether it be alcohol or drugs, prescription meds, sex, gambling, porn, or the internet. But despite the unprecedented attention, our understanding of addiction is trapped in unfounded 20th century ideas, addiction as a crime or as brain disease, and in equally outdated treatment. Challenging both the idea of the addict's "broken brain" and the notion of a simple "addictive personality," The New York Times Bestseller, Unbroken Brain, offers a radical and groundbreaking new perspective, arguing that addictions are learning disorders and shows how seeing the condition this way can untangle our current debates over treatment, prevention and policy. Like autistic traits, addictive behaviors fall on a spectrum -- and they can be a normal response to an extreme situation. By illustrating what addiction is, and is not, the book illustrates how timing, history, family, peers, culture and chemicals come together to create both illness and recovery- and why there is no "addictive personality" or single treatment that works for all. Combining Maia Szalavitz's personal story with a distillation of more than 25 years of science and research,Unbroken Brain provides a paradigm-shifting approach to thinking about addiction. Her writings on radical addiction therapies have been featured in The Washington Post, Vice Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, in addition to multiple other publications. She has been interviewed about her book on many radio shows including Fresh Air with Terry Gross and The Brian Lehrer show.

The award-winning engineer, Air Force lieutenant colonel, and author of F.I.R.E offers a road map for designing winning new products, services, and business models, and shows how to avoid complexity-related pitfalls in the process. With a foreword by design guru Don Norman. Humans make things every day, whether it’s composing an e-mail, cooking a meal, or constructing the Mars Rover. While complexity is often necessary in the development process, unnecessary complexity adds complications. The Simplicity Cycle provides the secret to striking the proper balance. Dan Ward shines a light on how complexity affects the things we make for good or ill, taking us on a journey through the process of making things, with a particular focus on identifying and avoiding complexity-related pitfalls. The standard development process involves increasing complexity to improve the outcome, Ward explains. The problem comes when the complexity starts getting in the way—but often we don’t know where that point is until we pass it. He suggests a number of techniques for identifying the problem and fixing it, including how to overcome several types of wrongheaded thinking—such as the idea that complexity and quality are the same. In clear, compelling language, and using his trademark mix of examples from research, personal experience, and pop culture, Ward offers a universal concept, visually described with a single, evolving diagram. Ideal for business leaders and technologists, The Simplicity Cycle is helpful for anyone looking to simplify and improve everything we do, whether we work in an office, at home, or at the Pentagon.

Ethics on the Ark presents a passionate, multivocal discussion—among zoo professionals, activists, conservation biologists, and philosophers—about the future of zoos and aquariums, the treatment of animals in captivity, and the question of whether the individual, the species, or the ecosystem is the most important focus in conservation efforts. Contributors represent all sides of the issues. Moving from the fundamental to the practical, from biodiversity to population regulation, from animal research to captive breeding, Ethics on the Ark represents an important gathering of the many fervent and contentious viewpoints shaping the wildlife conservation debate.
