Six Thinking Hats (revised edition) order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 28.00 each
Paperback
Author: Edward de Bono
Published by: Penguin Books Ltd
In Stock: 1
The internationally bestselling guide to better thinking used by tens of thousands of people - fully revised and updated.

The need for the Six Hats is based on an understanding of how the brain chemicals change with the mode of thinking. Using this method one major corporation reduced the time taken for multinational project discussions from thirty days to just two days.
Argument is inefficient, ineffective and extremely slow. Argument was never designed to be constructive. The parallel thinking of the six hats is rapidly replacing argument around the world. For two-thousand-four-hundred years we have been content with argument which was never designed to be constructive. Discovering 'what is' may not be the same as designing 'what can be'.

The Element : How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Ken Robinson with Lou Aronica
Published by: Penguin Books Ltd
In Stock: 1
The element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion. It is here that people feel most themselves, inspired and able to achieve at their highest levels. In this ground-breaking book, world renowned creativity expert Ken Robinson identifies a crisis in education and business: whether it's a child bored in class, a disillusioned or misused employee or someone who feels frustrated but can't quite explain why, too many people don't realize what they are capable of achieving. Through stories of people - like Vidal Sassoon, Ariana Huffington and Matt Groening - who have recognized their unique talents and been able to make a successful living doing what they love, Robinson argues that age and occupation are no barrier and explains how it is possible for each one of us to reach our element. With a wry sense of humour, Ken Robinson inspires us, above all, to reconnect with our true self - it could just change ... more

The Invisible Gorilla and Other Ways Our Intuition Deceives Us order quantity

NZ$ 41.00 each
Paperback
Author: Christopher Chabris & Daniel Simons
Published by: harper collins
In Stock: 1
Insightful, witty, and fascinating, The Invisible Gorilla closely examines the false impressions that most profoundly influence our lives and gives practical advice on how we can minimize their negative impact.

If a gorilla walked out into the middle of a basketball pitch, you'd notice it. Wouldn't you? If a serious violent crime took place just next to you, you'd remember it, right? The Invisible Gorilla is a fascinating look at the unbelievable, yet routine tricks that your brain plays on you. In an award-winning and groundbreaking study, psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons asked volunteers to watch a 60-second film of a group of students playing basketball and told them to count the number of passes made. About halfway through, a woman dressed head to toe in a gorilla outfit slowly moved to centre screen, beat her chest at the camera, and casually strolled away. Unbelievably, almost half of the volunteers missed ... more

The Liar in Your Life : How Lies Work and What They Tell Us About Ourselves order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 45.00 each
Paperback
Author: Robert Feldman
Published by: Virgin Books
In Stock: 1
It's a fact: we all lie. And we lie a lot - two to three times in a ten-minute conversation is the average, as Robert S Feldman, one of the world's leading authorities on deception, shows in this groundbreaking book. From the 'white lies' of social niceties ('It's so nice to see you') to lies told with intent ('I promise to give you 20 per cent of the total funds transferred to your vital bank account'), deception and dishonesty play a huge - and crucial - role in our society at every level, from the school yard ('I didn't do it!') to the halls of government ('Iraq could launch weapons of mass destruction in 45 minutes'). Feldman draws on numerous examples from real life as well as research into deception to reveal why. You'll discover the truth about lying - why we all do it, what it costs us, how children learn to lie, who it benefits, why we're so often ready to accept the lies we're told, and how it can both succeed in helping us ... more

The Lucifer Effect: How Good People Turn Evil order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Philip Zimbardo
Published by: Rider & Co
In Stock: 1
In The Lucifer Effect, the award-winning and internationally respected psychologist, Philip Zimbardo, examines how the human mind has the capacity to be infinitely caring or selfish, kind or cruel, creative or destructive. He challenges our conceptions of who we think we are, what we believe we will never do - and how and why almost any of us could be initiated into the ranks of evil doers. At the same time he describes the safeguards we can put in place to prevent ourselves from corrupting - or being corrupted by - others, and what sets some people apart as heroes and heroines, able to resist powerful pressures to go along with the group, and to refuse to be team players when personal integrity is at stake. Using the first in-depth analysis of his classic Stanford Prison Experiment, and his personal experiences as an expert witness for one of the Abu Ghraib prison guards, Zimbardo's stimulating and provocative book raises ... more

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat order quantity

Paperback
Author: Oliver Sacks
Published by: Picador
In Stock: 1
In his most extraordinary book, "one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century" [ "The New York Times" ] recounts the case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders. Oliver Sacks's "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.

If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales remain, in Dr. Sacks' splendid and sympathetic telling, deeply human. They are studies of life struggling against incredible adversity, and they ... more

Author: Sue Gerhardt
Published by: simon and schuster
In Stock: 1
Ambitious and wide-ranging, The Selfish Society reveals the vital importance of understanding our early emotional lives, arguing that by focusing on the attention we give to our young children we can create a better society. Open any newspaper, and what do you find? Violence and crime, child abuse and neglect, expenses scandals, addiction, fraud and corruption, environmental meltdown. Is Britain indeed broken? How did modern society get to this point? Who is to blame? How can we change? We have come to inhabit a culture of selfish individualism which has confused material well-being with happiness. As society became bigger and more competitive, working life was cut off from child-rearing and the new economics ignored people's emotional needs. We have lived with this culture so long that it is hard to imagine it being any different. Yet we are now at a turning point where the need for change is becoming urgent. If we are to build ... more

Paperback
Author: Kerry Spackman
Published by: Winner's Institute
In Stock: 1
Why other books didn't change you - and this one will. You've probably read plenty of books which promised to turn you into a happy, rich and successful person. Books filled with brilliant ideas that were finally going to transform your life. However, if you're like most people, you'll find a year later not much has actually changed in your life. The problem is that 'knowing' what to do and being able to do it are two entirely different things. Permanent change requires both the logical and the emotional circuits of your brain to be re-wired. Your brain is not a computer that can be re-programmed by simply running 'different thoughts' through your mind. Formula 1 Neuroscientist Dr Spackman explains, with fascinating examples taken from real life, the tools he developed to transform the performance of world class athletes and corporate executives. The Winne'rs Bible is a riveting read that will show you how to rise above your natural ... more

Paperback
Author: Edward de Bono
Published by: Vermilion
In Stock: 1
The world is full of problems and conflicts. So why can we not solve them? According to Edward de Bono, world thinking cannot solve world problems because world thinking is itself the problem. And this is getting worse: we are so accustomed to readily available information online that we search immediately for the answers rather than thinking about them. Our minds function like trying to drive a car using only one wheel. There's nothing wrong with that one wheel - conventional thinking - but we could all get a lot further if we used all four...
De Bono examines why we think the way we do from a historical perspective and uses some of his famous thinking techniques combined with new ideas to show us how to change the way we think. If we strengthen our ability and raise our thinking level, other areas of our life - both personal and business success - will improve.

De Bono is the master of the original big 'concept' book and his ... more

Uncle Tungsten : Memories of a chemical boyhood order quantity

NZ$ 28.00 each
Paperback
Author: Oliver Sacks
Published by: Picador
In Stock: 1
From Oliver Sacks - the distinguished neurologist and master storyteller - a personal account of a childhood, told with the charm and unexpected power of his celebrated case histories.
In this wonderful memoir Sacks evokes, with warmth and wit, his childhood in wartime England. He tells of the large scientifically minded family who fostered his early fascination with metals. Then there were his four years at boarding school where, though unhappy, he developed the intellectual curiosity that would shape his life. We hear of his return to London, an emotionally bereft ten-year-old who found solace in the secret garden of his passion for learning - about the nature of metals, gases, and chemicals; about the hidden order of things outside himself.
Uncle Tungsten radiates the magic, the delight, and the wonder as a young boy discovers the unquenchable desire for knowledge. It is an unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary ... more

Paperback

Since the first boxy black-and-white TV sets began to appear in American living rooms in the late 1940s, we have been watching people chop, saute, fillet, whisk, flip, pour, arrange and serve food on the small screen. More than just a how-to or an amusement, cooking shows are also a unique social barometer. Their legacy corresponds to the transition from women at home to women at work, from eight-hour to 24/7 workdays, from cooking as domestic labor to enjoyable leisure, and from clearly defined to more fluid gender roles. While variety shows, Westerns, and live, scripted dramas have gone the way of rabbit ear antennae, cooking shows are still being watched, often on high definition plasma screens via Tivo. "Watching What We Eat: The Evolution of Television Cooking Shows" illuminates how cooking shows have both reflected and shaped significant changes in American culture and will explore why it is that just about everybody still finds ... more

Paperback
Author: James Robert Flynn
Published by: Cambridge University Press

DoP - July 2009, Australia

New expanded paperback edition with 3 additional chapters. The 'Flynn Effect' refers to the massive increase in IQ test scores over the course of the twentieth century. Does it mean that each generation is more intelligent than the last? Does it suggest how each of us can enhance our own intelligence? Professor Flynn (Univ of Otago) is finally ready to give his own views. He asks what intelligence really is and gives a surprising and illuminating answer. This expanded paperback edition includes three important new essays. The first contrasts the art of writing cognitive history with the science of measuring intelligence and reports new data. The second outlines how we might get a complete theory of intelligence, and the third details Flynn's reservations about Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences.
