      By Gladwell, Malcolm, 1963-
       2005., Little, Brown and Co. Call No: NEW 153.4 G543b c.2   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your LibraryClick here to watch Summary Note: How do we think without thinking, seem to make choices in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem? Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, the author reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

      By Pelley, Chad, 1980-
       c2013., Adult, Breakwater Books Call No: Fic Pel    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: In Every Little Thing, Cohen Davies' life is shaped by the butterfly effect of a bad decision gone desperately wrong. After a shocking family tragedy, Cohen is wracked with guilt and sorrow, and feeling numb to everything but the allure of his enigmatic new neighbor, Allie Crosbie. He sees in her the perfect place to bury his troubles. But when Allie's father asks an unfathomable favour, Cohen's decision to help him sets off a chain reaction of irrevocable events that starts with one man's untimely death, and ends in Cohen's incarceration. His guilt or innocence is left up to the reader to judge. In the aftermath of his actions, Allie will reveal a secret of her own. With his award-winning debut, 'Away From Everywhere', Chad Pelley showed us his verve as a novelist. In Every Little Thing, he once again explores the flipside of love, by cutting no corners in exposing how a secret kept to protect love can just as easily destroy a life.

      By Hallinan, Joseph T
       2014., Adult, Crown Publishers Call No: 153 H189k   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "To one degree or another, we all misjudge reality. Our perception--of ourselves and the world around us--is much more malleable than we realize. This self-deception influences every major aspect of our personal and social life, including relationships, sex, politics, careers, and health. In Kidding Ourselves, Joseph Hallinan offers a nuts-and-bolts look at how this penchant shapes our everyday lives, from the medicines we take to the decisions we make. It shows, for instance, just how much the power of many modern medicines, particularly anti-depressants and painkillers, is largely in our heads. Placebos in modern-day life extend beyond hospitals, to fake thermostats and 'elevator close' buttons that don't really work... but give the perception that they do."--From publisher.

      By Levitin, Daniel J
       2014., Adult, Allen Lane Call No: QWF 153 L666o    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "We are drowning in an unprecedented deluge of data. At the same time, we're expected to make more -- and faster -- decisions about our lives than ever before. No wonder, then, that the average person reports frequently losing car keys or reading glasses, missing appointments, and feeling worn out by the effort required just to keep up. Somehow some people become quite accomplished at managing information flow. Daniel J. Levitin uses the latest brain science to demonstrate how readers can use these methods to regain a sense of mastery over the way they organize their homes, workplaces, and lives. With chapters on everything from the kitchen junk drawer to health care to gambling in Las Vegas, Levitin reveals how new research into the cognitive neuroscience of attention and memory can be applied to daily life. His practical suggestions call for relatively minor changes that require little effort but will have remarkable long-term benefits for mental and physical health, productivity, and creativity. Daniel Levitin is a professor of psychology at McGill University and the author of This is Your Brain on Music"--Provided by publisher.
