<b>Few things will change your trajectory in life or business as much as learning to think clearly. Yet few of us recognize opportunities to think in the first place.</b><br/><br/>You might believe youre thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you wont be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seeklove, belonging, success, wealth, victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want.<br/><br/><i>Clear Thinking</i> gives you the tools to recognize the moments that have the potential to transform your trajectory, and reshape how you navigate the critical space between stimulus and response. As Parrish shows, we may imagine we are the protagonists in the story of our lives. But the sad truth is, most of us run on autopilot. Our behavioral defaults, groomed by biology, evolution, and culture, are primed to run the show for us if we dont intervene. At our worst, we react to events without reasoning, not even realizing that weve missed an opportunity to think at all. At our best, we recognize these moments for what they are, and apply the full capacity of our reasoning and rationality to them.<br/><br/>Through stories, mental models, and more, Parrish offers the missing link between behavioral science and real-life outcomes. The result is a must-have manual for optimizing decision-making, gaining competitive advantage, and living a more intentional life.

America is undergoing a massive experiment: It is moving, in fits and starts, toward a multiracial democracy, something few societies have ever done. But the prospect of change has sparked an authoritarian backlash that threatens the very foundations of our political system. Why is democracy under assault here, and not in other wealthy, diversifying nations? And what can we do to save it? With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, How Democracies Die, a global bestseller, Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent framework for understanding these volatile times. They draw on a wealth of examples-from 1930s France to present-day Thailand-to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy. They then show how our Constitution makes us uniquely vulnerable to attacks from within: It is a pernicious enabler of minority rule, allowing partisan minorities to consistently thwart and even rule over popular majorities. Most modern democracies-from Germany and Sweden to Argentina and New Zealand-have eliminated outdated institutions like elite upper chambers, indirect elections, and lifetime tenure for judges. The United States lags dangerously behind. In this revelatory book, Levitsky and Ziblatt issue an urgent call to perfect our national experiment. It&apos;s a daunting task, but we have remade our country before-most notably, after the Civil War and during the Progressive Era. And now we are at a crossroads: America will either become a multiracial democracy or cease to be a democracy at all.

The concise edition of the 2019 WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS BOOK AWARD From the million-copy bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves.

I denna jämförande studie av de fyra nordiska länderna visas hur litet den traditionella välfärdspolitiken påverkades av välfärdskrisen mot slutet av 70-talet. Inhemska faktorer som graden av universalism, folkligt stöd, arbetsmarknadspolitiska åtgärder tycks betyda mer än internationell ekonomi för att förklara stabiliteten i välfärdspolitiken.

Detta är en bok om flexibilitet på arbetsmarknaden. Författarna jämför Kanada och Sverige, två länder som uppvisar stora likheter i fråga om sysselsättning, näringslivsstruktur m m, men som klart skiljer sig i fråga om institutionella arrangemang på arbetsmarknaden. Kanada har närmast en "fri marknad" medan Sverige länge fört en mer interventionistisk politik inriktad på full sysselsättning och anställningstrygghet. Författarna diskuterar dels flexibilitet på makronivå, dels hur förändring på företagsnivå hanteras i de två länderna. De visar hur företags, fackföreningars och individers inställning till förändring skiljer sig mellan Sverige och Kanada. Kanadensiska fackföreningar är både svagare och mer på sin vakt mot förändringar än de svenska. När starka fackliga organisationer passerar en viss "tröskel" ökar trycket på dem att ta ett samhällsansvar - vilket vanligen inbegriper en förståelse för behovet av flexibilitet på arbetsmarknaden. Förutsttningen för att acceptera förändring är förstås att man får något i utbyte, t ex viss social trygghet för medlemmarna. Kanada och Sverige är exempel på att olika institutionella förhållanden på arbetsmarknaden kan producera tämligen likartade ekonomiska utfall.
