The guru to the gurus at last shares his knowledge with the rest of us. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman's seminal studies in behavioral psychology, behavioral economics, and happiness studies have influenced numerous other authors, including Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell. In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman at last offers his own, first book for the general public. It is a lucid and enlightening summary of his life's work. It will change the way you think about thinking. Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Kahneman explains....

Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation - into the meetings, postmortems, and "Braintrust" sessions where some of the most successful films in history are made. It is, at heart, a book about how to build a creative culture - but it is also, as Pixar co-founder and president Ed Catmull writes, "an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible."

Welcome to the age of behavioral addiction - an age in which half of the American population is addicted to at least one behavior. We obsess over our emails, Instagram likes, and Facebook feeds; we binge on TV episodes and YouTube videos; we work longer hours each year; and we spend an average of three hours each day using our smartphones.

Publisher's Summary
It's official: excessive Internetting, smartphoning, and social media make us miserable. But it doesn't have to be that way. Over the last decade, recognized journalist Blake Snow rigorously researched, tested, and developed several connectivity strategies for finding offline balance in an online world, which resulted in this, his first book.
In Log Off: How to Stay Connected After Disconnecting, Snow passionately, succinctly, and sometimes humorously explains how to hit refresh for good, do more with less online, live large on low-caloric technology, increase face time with actual people, outperform workaholics in half the time, and tunefully blend both analog and digital lives with no regrets. If the "offline balance movement" is real, this is its playbook.

Super relevant and real
I really appreciated the honesty and self reflection this book provides. Because the author is so honest and self reflective it causes the reader to be as well. Reading this book was like holding up a mirror to my face on the actions I know I need to take to be a better husband and father. I won’t go as far as Blake Snow did but even through some of the smaller things he recommended, I’ve found great reward.

Timely Insights
About a year ago some of us were waiting for a plane to come in. (I’m in the airline business.) A co worker noted that we were all buried in our cell phones. “Look up”, he said, “lets talk to each other; let’s have a real conversation.”
That’s when I began noticing how I was using my electronic “device”. As it turns out the author of this book nails the problem with both good humor and science based evidence. He offers ways to determine whether our personal devices are sucking joy out of our lives and diminishing those who are right in front of us. He then offers ways we may correct our bad habits and enjoy life more fully. I, for one, am excited to start making big changes.

Great book, thought provoking!
Loved every minute of it! I highly recommend it for anyone that uses the internet on a daily basis. It was profound in a casual and entertaining way.
