For over fifteen years, behavioral scientist and Harvard Business School professor Leslie John has been studying the choices we make every day—at work and at home, with our spouses, friends, colleagues, and even strangers—about how much to reveal about ourselves. A growing body of research shows we vastly underestimate the value of oversharing. Often, when an epic overshare leaves us cringing with shame, the person we’ve shared with is actually happy to have been confided in. Yet so many of us have come to see what would be beneficial disclosure as TMI.

Kate Murphy, author of the international bestseller You’re Not Listening, answers these and other fascinating questions in Why We Click, the first book that explores the emerging science and outsize impact of interpersonal synchrony, the most consequential social dynamic most people have never heard of. Interpersonal synchrony is the seemingly magical, yet now scientifically documented, tendency of human beings to fall into rhythm and find resonance with one another.

Life has a way of thwarting our best-laid plans. Out of nowhere you get an unexpected diagnosis, or your relationship ends, or you suffer some other trick of fate. In these moments, it can feel like you’re free-falling into the unknown. Maya Shankar has spent decades researching people’s interior lives. When an unexpected change in her own life left her reeling, she sought out people who had gone through extraordinary disruption and asked them to tell her everything.

We all have that moment we wish we could do over. Maybe it was a comment you made at work. Or a look you gave a loved one. Or a time you bit your tongue when a colleague said something that just didn't sit right. These moments can cause real, lasting damage, and they are what Aiko Bethea calls "the bullsh*t": bullsh*t that happens because we get misaligned with who we aspire to be. But Aiko Bethea suggests that there is an alternative—a way to reframe “the bullsh*t” as instances that offer us a choice.

In the bestselling tradition of Mary Roach and A.J. Jacobs comes a fresh and powerful deep dive on loneliness, illuminating the complexity of this misunderstood social phenomenon and why people need people.

Solitude is part of the human experience. But just like other relationships, your relationship with solitude can be satisfying, intimate, and enhance your well-being, or it can leave you wanting, stuck in a cycle of sadness, anxiety, or anger. Regardless of whether you're starved for “me time” or struggling with loneliness, most of us have never thought carefully about how to get the most out of the time we spend by ourselves. As a result, we’re missing out on what could be a deeply enriching aspect of our lives. But how can we unlock the positive power of solitude?

In the original 1992 version of The Winner’s Curse, Richard Thaler introduced readers to behavioral economics, challenging the notion of traditional economics that people are selfish, rational optimizers and behave accordingly every time. Three decades later, Thaler has teamed up with economist Alex Imas to provide fresh insights in this fully updated edition. They revisit Thaler’s original columns on economic anomalies, some written with collaborators like Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, and explore how these anomalies hold up today.

In this audiobook, Barry Schwartz and Richard Schuldenfrei offer a different way to think about the choices we make every day. Drawing from economics, psychology, and philosophy—and both inspired by and challenging Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow—they show how the focus on rationality, narrowly understood, fails to fully describe how we think about our decisions, much less help us make better ones.

Gaslight, film fondateur réalisé par George Cukor en 1944, raconte le calvaire de Paula. Son mari la persuade qu'elle est folle en baissant progressivement la lumière des lampes à gaz pour installer l'obscurité dans la maison et les esprits... Le gaslighting désigne originellement une relation conjugale reposant sur la manipulation d'une femme par son époux. Il est devenu un mot-clé de la psychologie américaine, puis un outil critique du féminisme, avant récemment de définir un type de langage politique mensonger et la violence qui en découle.

From one of the world’s most celebrated intellectuals, a brilliantly insightful work that explains how we think about each other’s thoughts about each other’s thoughts, ad infinitum. It sounds impossible, but Steven Pinker shows that we do it all the time. This awareness, which we experience as something that is public or “out there,” is called common knowledge, and it has a momentous impact on our social, political, and economic lives.

At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

Women all over the world struggle to communicate with authority yet still be liked by a crowd. We strategize before meetings, second-guess in bathroom stalls, text outfit options to our best friends, and try to anticipate every possible variable. This tricky business is what world-champion debater and executive coach Kate Mason calls “communicating while female” and, frankly, it seems like it’s impossible to get it right. Until now. In Powerfully Likeable, Mason explains that being influential and well-liked is not an either/or proposition.

Through compelling examples from business, economics, literature, art, fashion, and beyond, Anointed demonstrates how status cascades through society, creating winners and losers in ways that often have little to do with merit. And how new technology offers a glimpse of a more equitable future.

In The Collective Edge, Colin Fisher, one of the world’s foremost experts on group dynamics, distills decades of research into practical strategies to help groups function at their highest levels. Through case studies from billion-dollar companies, boutique design firms, great basketball teams, and Star Trek villains, Fisher reveals how to compete without dysfunctional conflict within groups, why conformity pressure can sometimes be positive, and why effective group leadership often comes down to structure and organization instead of motivational speeches.

In der Schule, in der Arbeit, unter Freunden, in der Zeitung, am Handy – überall und ein Leben lang begegnen uns Gerede und Gerüchte. Aber warum fällt es manchmal so schwer, pikante Neuigkeiten für sich zu behalten? Woher kommt unsere Faszination für das Leben anderer und warum reden wir so gerne über andere? Und sind wir deshalb schlechte Menschen? McKinney verwebt persönliche Erlebnisse, Medienereignisse, Studien und popkulturelle Phänomene zu einer ehrlichen und erfrischenden Gegenwartsanalyse.
