It is a guidebook—beautiful in its simplicity and backed by hard science—for nurturing excellence.”—Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit “It’s so juvenile to throw around hyperbolic terms such as ‘life-changing,’ but there’s no other way to describe The Little Book of Talent.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Talent begins with brief, powerful encounters that spark motivation. This is called ignition, and it consists of a tiny, world-shifting thought lighting up your unconscious mind: I could be them. #2 The windshield phenomenon is when you observe top performers and take in their images of their future selves. This can vastly increase your unconscious motivation. #3 The engraving method is used to learn a new skill. You watch the skill being performed intensely, then build a high-definition mental blueprint. For physical skills, project yourself inside the performer’s body. For mental skills, simulate the skill by re-creating the expert’s decision patterns. #4 When you steal, focus on specifics rather than general impressions. Capture concrete facts: the angle of a golfer’s left elbow at the top of the backswing, the curve of a surgeon’s wrist, the precise shape and tension of a singer’s lips as she hits that high note, and so on.

Stupidity Stupidity is unconscious man; groping in the dark. Stupidity is unawareness: unable to join things together. When commonsense is not around, Stupidity gains ground. Sometimes it lasts a moment, often a lifetime. Like starting a war. Like getting married. The little Book of CommonSENSE will spark many a conversation with its witty banter and playful prose. Embark on a whirlwind tour of hot topics-personal and universal-throughout the world and beyond. Organized alphabetically, The little Book of CommonSENSE prevents abortion, peeps at cleavage, explains poodles, and encounters terrorists. Myths explode as the author lands in Iraqi oilfields and meets Arabs and gays, sinners and saints, presidents and fanatics, Muslims and racists, and virgins in veils in non smoking pubs along the way. At times controversial, at other times hilarious, The little Book of CommonSENSE provides insight and explanation into many of today's issues. It's a jolly ride, as entertaining as informative, that underscores how far convention, ideology and dogma have pushed us from reality and CommonSENSE.

You know Mark Twain, creator of the long-beloved characters Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, but have you heard what he said about Jane Austen? The Little Book of Zingers will feature the greatest comebacks and one-liners of all time, uttered by the iconic men and women we know and love (or love to hate)! Every generation sees its fair share of geniuses: men and women who possess boundless intellect and are capable of incredible insight. Søren Kierkegaard was such a man. Widely considered the father of existential philosophy, Kierkegaard uttered such profundities as: “If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe.” But on one truly momentous occasion, Kierkegaard made one confident and succinct statement that shook the earth: “My opponent is a glob of snot.” Kierkegaard spoke of Hans Martensen, an academic with whom he’d had a fair share of disagreements. The two often went toe-to-toe in scholarly debate, but with this dynamite zinger, Kierkegaard ended all further discussion. After all, who expects to be called a glob of snot? There’s no coming back from that. The Little Book of Zingers will explore the rich depths of crushingly hilarious salt-in-the-wound one-liners you’ve never heard that’ll make you gasp at their audacity. From the Age of Enlightenment to the Roaring Twenties to the boogie-down seventies, The Little Book of Zingers will take readers on a journey through some of history’s greatest burns, spoken by the men and women who shaped the world.
