book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking
by Susan Cain

book coverIn Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She also introduces us to successful introverts—from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.

book Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence
by Daniel Goleman

book coverDaniel Goleman offers a groundbreaking look at today’s scarcest resource and the secret to high performance and fulfillment: attention. He shows why high-achievers need all three kinds of focus (inner, other, and outer), and explains how those who rely on Smart Practices - mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and recovery, positive emotions and connections, and mental "prosthetics" that help them improve habits, add new skills, and sustain greatness - excel while others do not.

book Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard
by Chip Heath and Dan Heath

book coverPsychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems - the rational mind and the emotional mind - that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. In Switch, the Heaths show how everyday people - employees and managers, parents and nurses - have united both minds and, as a result, achieved dramatic results. In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or changing your waistline.
