Youre About to Make a Terrible Mistake
Discover nine common business decision-making traps -- and learn practical tools for avoiding them -- in this "masterful," research-based guide from a professor of strategic thinking. (Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow)
We all make decisions all the time. It's so natural that we hardly stop to think about it.
Yet even the smartest and most experienced among us make frequent and predictable errors. So, what makes a good decision? Should we trust our intuitions, and if so, when? How can we avoid being tripped up by cognitive biases when we are not even aware of them?
In You're About to Make a Terrible Mistake!, strategy professor and management consultant Olivier Sibony draws on dozens of fascinating and engaging case studies to show how cognitive biases routinely lead all of us -- including even the most renowned business titans -- into nine common decision-making traps. But instead of rehashing the same old "debiasing" techniques that fail managers time and again, Sibony explains that the best way to avoid the pitfalls of cognitive bias is to craft an effective decision-making architecture in your organization -- a system of techniques and processes that leverage collective intelligence to help leaders make the best decisions possible -- and provides 40 concrete methods for doing so.
Distinctive in the clarity and practicality of its message, You're About to Make a Terrible Mistake! distills the latest developments in behavioral economics and cognitive psychology into actionable tools for making smart, effective decisions in business and beyond.

Allergic
Hay fever. Peanut allergies. Eczema. Billions of people worldwide have some form of allergy; millions have one severe enough to seriously endanger their health. And over the past decade, the number of people diagnosed with allergy has been steadily increasing, an ever-growing medical burden on individuals, families, and our health care system.
Medical anthropologist Theresa MacPhail, herself an allergy sufferer whose father died of a bee sting, set out to understand why. The result is a holistic and deeply researched examination of allergies, from their first medical description in 1819 to the mind-bending new treatments that are giving patients hope. MacPhail spent years interviewing hundreds of experts, patients and activists, in an effort to understand how recent changes in our environment and lifestyle are contributing to the dramatic rise in cases globally. Pollution, chemicals, antibiotics and, increasingly, climate change are all making our immune systems become more and more irritated. But, as she shows us in Allergic, understanding what is irritating us and why will help us to craft better environments in the future-so we can all breathe easier.

King of the Blues
'Without a doubt the most important artist the blues has ever produced' Eric Clapton
'No one did more to spread the gospel of the blues' President Barack Obama
'One part of me says, "Yes, of course I can play." But the other part of me says, "Well, I wish I could just do it like B.B. King."' John Lennon
King of the Blues is the story of the first and only superstar of American blues. But it is also a chronicle of the African-American experience. B.B. King grew up in the Deep South, a few generations after the end of slavery, imprisoned within a cruel system of wage slavery known as sharecropping. King of the Blues will also tell the larger story of the birth of modern popular music. B.B. King's boundless ambition and tireless toil gave him initial success, topping the charts in the 1950s and early '60s. But then his career hit a wall when his version of classic blues music could not break through to the mainstream.
But then, after years of being out of the limelight, B.B.'s music was rediscovered by new listeners, who saw that he had inspired their guitar rock heroes. From the 1970s on, each time his popularity faded, his music was given new life: fronting for The Rolling Stones, acclaimed by Eric Clapton, praised by U2 and Bono. His last concert was performed in late 2014, six months before he died at age 89.

Shopping Spree - Gyerekjáték az angol! (DVD rajzfilmmel)
A könyv és a 12 perces rajzfilm óvodás és kisiskolás gyerekeknek szól.
A nyelvtanulást nem lehet elég korán kezdeni. Az egészen kis korban elkezdett nyelvtanulás során a gyerekek hamar megtapasztalják, hogy egy fogalmat több szóval is ki lehet fejezni, így gondolkodásuk rugalmasabb, elvonatkoztató képességük jobb lesz, s ezáltal fejlődik az intelligenciájuk.
A rajzfilmek és a képeskönyvek két kisgyerek kalandjait mesélik el, akik megtalálják Ziggyt, a papagájt, és megtanítják beszélni. Sok-sok kalandjuk során a madár megismeri a betűket, számokat, színeket és egyéb hasznos szavakat. Az egyenként 12 perces rajzfilmekkel a gyerekek egyre jobban elsajátítják az angol nyelvet, ha pedig már tudnak olvasni, akkor a könyvben végigkövethetik az adott történetet, amiben egy kis szótár is segítségükre lesz.
A sorozat 10 kötetből áll. A könyvek és filmek egymástól függetlenül is élvezhetők, ugyanakkor a bennük lévő tudásanyag egymásra épül.
A rendszeres Time for English-mesefogyasztás a legjobbkor és a legjobb módon, ráadásul élményszámba menően kínál biztos angoltudást a kisgyerekeknek.
A korai nyelvtanulásnál a gyerekeknek még nem szükséges nyelvtant, kiejtést tanulniuk, az is elég, ha dalokat, verseket, szavakat ismételgetnek. A sok ismétlésnek köszönhetően egyre jobb lesz a kiejtésük, pontosabb a szóhasználatuk, ezáltal felszabadultabban használják majd a nyelvet a tudatos nyelvtanulás során, az iskolában is.
A rajzfilmhez angol és magyar felirat is választható.
A 3. rész tartalma:
- "Mit vegyek fel?" - Ruhadarabok és méretek - Utasítások követése - Érzelmek leírása - Leírni valakiről, milyen ruhát visel
Ebben a részben Ziggynek különböző ruhadarabok és cipők nevét tanítják meg, miközben újra átismétlik a színeket, számokat és méreteket. Megtanítják őt elszámolni tíztől húszig.
Nagyon vicces, ahogy mindhárman felpróbálgatják a ruhákat, összekeverik, mit mivel vesznek fel, rossz méretet választanak, és nem egymáshoz illő dolgokat párosítanak össze.
A fagyiárus rengeteg gombócot halmoz fel egyetlen tölcsérben. Persze a fagyitorony leomlik, Wiz azonban gyorsan odavarázsol még két tölcsért, és szépen elosztja bennük a fagyigombócokat, majd hőseink elnyalják a három tölcsér fagylaltot.

The Tao of Pooh 40th Anniversary Gift Edition
“What’s this you’re writing?” asked Pooh, climbing onto the writing table.
“The Tao of Pooh,” I replied.
“The how of Pooh?” asked Pooh, smudging one of the words I had just written.
“The Tao of Pooh,” I replied, poking his paw away with my pencil.
“It seems more like ow! of Pooh,” said Pooh, rubbing his paw.
“Well, it’s not,” I replied huffily.
“What’s it about?” asked Pooh, leaning forward and smearing another word.
“It’s about how to stay happy and calm under all circumstances!” I yelled.
“Have you read it?” asked Pooh...
Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain way about him, a way of doing things that has made him the world's most beloved bear, and Pooh's Way, as Benjamin Hoff brilliantly demonstrates, seems strangely close to the ancient Chinese principles of Taoism.
Follow the Pooh Way in this humorous and enlightening introduction to Taoism, with classic decorations by E.H. Shepard throughout.
