NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Power of Habit, a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work—and how we can all learn to be supercommunicators at work and in life“A winning combination of stories, studies, and guidance that might well transform the worst communicators you know into some of the best.”—Adam Grant, author of Think Again and Hidden PotentialCome inside a jury room as one juror leads a starkly divided room to consensus. Join a young CIA officer as he recruits a reluctant foreign agent. And sit with an accomplished surgeon as he tries, and fails, to convince yet another cancer patient to opt for the less risky course of treatment. In Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg blends deep research and his trademark storytelling skills to show how we can all learn to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation.Communication is a superpower and the best communicators understand that whenever we speak, we’re actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What’s this really about?), emotional (How do we feel?), and social (Who are we?). If you don’t know what kind of conversation you’re having, you’re unlikely to connect. Supercommunicators know the importance of recognizing—and then matching—each kind of conversation, and how to hear the complex emotions, subtle negotiations, and deeply held beliefs that color so much of what we say and how we listen. Our experiences, our values, our emotional lives—and how we see ourselves, and others—shape every discussion, from who will pick up the kids to how we want to be treated at work. In this book, you will learn why some people are able to make themselves heard, and to hear others, so clearly.With his storytelling that takes us from the writers’ room of The Big Bang Theory to the couches of leading marriage counselors, Duhigg shows readers how to recognize these three conversations—and teaches us the tips and skills we need to navigate them more successfully.In the end, he delivers a simple but powerful lesson: With the right tools, we can connect with anyone.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD • NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR SO FAR FOR 2024 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW • A newly sober, orphaned son of Iranian immigrants, guided by the voices of artists, poets, and kings, embarks on a remarkable search for a family secret that leads him to a terminally ill painter living out her final days in the Brooklyn Museum. Electrifying, funny, and wholly original, Martyr! heralds the arrival of an essential new voice in contemporary fiction.“Kaveh Akbar is one of my favorite writers. Ever.” —Tommy Orange, Pulitzer Prize–nominated author of There There“The best novel you'll ever read about the joy of language, addiction, displacement, martyrdom, belonging, homesickness.” —Lauren Groff, best-selling author of Matrix and Fates and FuriesCyrus Shams is a young man grappling with an inheritance of violence and loss: his mother’s plane was shot down over the skies of the Persian Gulf in a senseless accident; and his father’s life in America was circumscribed by his work killing chickens at a factory farm in the Midwest. Cyrus is a drunk, an addict, and a poet, whose obsession with martyrs leads him to examine the mysteries of his past—toward an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields dressed as the angel of death to inspire and comfort the dying, and toward his mother, through a painting discovered in a Brooklyn art gallery that suggests she may not have been who or what she seemed.Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr! is a paean to how we spend our lives seeking meaning—in faith, art, ourselves, others.

'Towles has a genius for immersive scene-setting, and most of Table for Two ... feels more mythically New York than a Woody Allen storyboard painted by Edward Hopper' THE TIMESMillions of Amor Towles fans are in for a treat as he shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood.The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages. Told from seven points of view, "Eve in Hollywood" describes how one of Towles's most beloved characters, the indomitable Evelyn Ross from Rules of Civility, crafts a new future for herself-and others-in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows, and dive bars of 1930s Los Angeles.Written with his signature wit, humour, and sophistication, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towles's canon of stylish and transporting fiction.

A servant girl escapes from a colonial settlement in the wilderness. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her.

The Vaster Wilds is a work of raw and prophetic power that tells the story of America in miniature, through one girl at a hinge point in history, to ask how-and if-we can adapt quickly enough to save ourselves.

När du är stressad är din reptilhjärna aktiverad. Det gäller all stress. Även ekonomisk stress. När reptilhjärnan är aktiverad fattar du lika bra beslut som när du är alkoholpåverkad. Inte särskilt bra beslut med andra ord. Det är problem nummer ett. Problem nummer två är att din ekonomiska stress är så pass normaliserad att du inte alltid ser den eller ifrågasätter den. Om du lägger märke till din ekonomiska stress är det förmodligen för att reaktionen är väldigt kraftig, och så tänker du, Det är så här DET är, alltså att pengar är ett nödvändigt ont för alla, eller så tänker du, Det är så här JAG är.Men inget av det är sant. Ekonomisk stress går att identifiera på ett djupare plan och därmed bearbeta och förändra. Precis som vilken stress som helst. Goda nyheter, inte sant? Nu är det dags att släppa taget om reptilhjärnan och bli ekonomiskt emotionellt intelligent.Älskade Pengar , din handbok i ekonomisk emotionell intelligens är en samling reflektioner och erfarenheter efter över tusen samtal om pengar med olika personer. Författaren delar med sig av personliga anekdoter i utforskandet av den egna relationen till pengar. Förhoppningen är att bjuda in till nya tankar och samtal om ett ämne som fortfarande är tabu. Vad är pengar egentligen och hur mycket kan den subjektiva upplevelsen av ekonomin förändras genom nyfikenhet och empati?
