We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn&amp;rsquo;t. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, it seems, our brains are flawed instruments.

How can we make group decisions without destructive politics? And how can we ensure that we don&amp;rsquo;t overlook precious opportunities to change our course?&amp;#12288;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Decisive &lt;/i&gt;is the Heath brothers&amp;rsquo; most powerful&amp;mdash;and important&amp;mdash;book yet, offering fresh strategies and practical tools enabling us to make better choices.

Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald as they explore the hidden biases we all carry from a lifetime of exposure to cultural attitudes about age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexuality, disability status, and nationality.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Blindspot&amp;rdquo; is the authors&amp;rsquo; metaphor for the portion of the mind that houses hidden biases. Writing with simplicity and verve, Banaji and Greenwald question the extent to which our perceptions of social groups&amp;mdash;without our awareness or conscious control&amp;mdash;shape our likes and dislikes and our judgments about people&amp;rsquo;s character, abilities, and potential.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Blindspot,&lt;/i&gt; the authors reveal hidden biases based on their experience with the Implicit Association Test, a method that has revolutionized the way scientists learn about the human mind and that gives us a glimpse into what lies within the metaphoric blindspot.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The title&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;good people&amp;rdquo; are those of us who strive to align our behavior with our intentions. The aim of &lt;i&gt;Blindspot&lt;/i&gt; is to explain the science in plain enough language to help well-intentioned people achieve that alignment. By gaining awareness, we can adapt beliefs and behavior and &amp;ldquo;outsmart the machine&amp;rdquo; in our heads so we can be fairer to those around us. Venturing into this book is an invitation to understand our own minds.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Brilliant, authoritative, and utterly accessible, &lt;i&gt;Blindspot&lt;/i&gt; is a book that will challenge and change readers for years to come.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Praise for &lt;i&gt;Blindspot&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &amp;ldquo;A riveting book steeped in research that feels personal, sometimes uncomfortably so . . .

As in the bestselling &lt;i&gt;The Drunkard&amp;rsquo;s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives&lt;/i&gt;, Leonard Mlodinow employs his signature concise, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects to unravel the complexities of the subliminal mind. In the process he shows the many ways it influences how we misperceive our relationships with family, friends, and business associates; how we misunderstand the reasons for our investment decisions; and how we misremember important events--along the way, changing our view of ourselves and the world around us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Reaching beyond partisan politics, Atlee explores how a diversity of views can be engaged around public issues in ways that generate a coherent, shared &quot;voice of the people&quot; that takes most or all of the population's perspectives and needs into account. Atlee's core approach is through &quot;citizen deliberative councils,&quot; in which a small group of people randomly selected creates a &quot;mini-public&quot; or a microcosm of the larger population. Citizen councils engage in the study of a public issue and make recommendations to public officials and the community, but disband afterward; when a new issue arises, a new council is formed. Ultimately, Atlee aims even higher, suggesting a possible fourth branch of government to better balance our current democratic system. Combining a radical vision with practical solutions, &lt;i&gt;Empowering Public Wisdom&lt;/i&gt; provides a unique and refreshing voice in the political arena.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Empowering Public Wisdom&lt;/i&gt; is part of the EVOLVER EDITIONS Manifesto Series.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

You cannot afford to be apolitical at work if you have any aspirations for advancement. The only way to avoid politics is to avoid people&amp;#8212;by finding an out-of-the-way corner where you can do your job. Of course, it&amp;#8217;s the same job you&amp;#8217;ll likely be doing for the rest of your career.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In any job, when you reach a certain level of technical competence, politics is what makes all the difference with regard to success. At that point, it is indeed all politics. Everyday brilliant people take a backseat to their politically adept colleagues by failing to win crucial support for their ideas. Sometimes politics involves going around or bending rules, but more typically it&amp;#8217;s about positioning your ideas in a favorable light, and knowing what to say, and how and when to say it.&amp;#8230;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Keep in mind that people benefit from perpetuating the image of politics as something you either know or you don&amp;#8217;t. Ignore them. Political acumen is largely learned from observation. And then it&amp;#8217;s a matter of practice, practice, practice. When a journalist suggested that golfing great Gary Player was very lucky, he replied: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s funny, but the more I practice, the luckier I get.&amp;#8221; The same is true of politics.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;An indispensable guide to mastering the ins and outs of office politics&amp;#8212;the single most important factor in getting ahead in your career&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;As management professor and consultant Kathleen Reardon explains in her new book, &lt;i&gt;It's All Politics&lt;/i&gt;, talent and hard work alone will not get you to the top. What separates the winners from the losers in corporate life is politics.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As Reardon explains, the most talented and accomplished employees often take a backseat to their politically adept coworkers, losing ground in the race to get ahead&amp;#8212;sometimes even losing their jobs. Why? Because they&amp;#8217;ve failed to manage the important relationships with the people who can best reward their creativity and intelligence. To determine whether you need a crash course in Office Politics 101, ask yourself the following questions:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Do I get credit for my ideas?&lt;br&gt;Do I know how to deal with a difficult colleague?&lt;br&gt;Do I get the plum assignments?&lt;br&gt;Do I have a mentor?&lt;br&gt;Do I say no gracefully and pick my battles wisely?&lt;br&gt;Am I in the loop?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Reardon has interviewed hundreds of employees, from successful veterans to aspiring hopefuls, examining why some people who work hard and effectively at their jobs fall behind, while those who are adept at &amp;#8220;reading the office tea leaves&amp;#8221; forge ahead. Being politically savvy doesn&amp;#8217;t mean being unethical or devious. At heart, it&amp;#8217;s about listening to and relating to others, and making choices that advance everyone&amp;#8217;s goals. Like it or not, when it comes to work, it&amp;#8217;s &lt;i&gt;all &lt;/i&gt;politics. And politics is all about knowing what to say, when to say it, and who to say it to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
