Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You are probably not as open-minded as you think. That is not an insult. It is the problem this book was written to solve. The ancient Greeks had a word for ordinary ignorance: not knowing. But they had another word for something far more dangerous: amathia. It means the kind of ignorance that does not feel like ignorance at all. It feels like certainty. It feels like wisdom. It feels like I already know. In AMATHIA: The Smartest Way to Stay Stupid, Ken Konet, M.Ed., MBA, takes this ancient idea and turns it into a brutally funny, deeply practical field guide for the modern mind. This book is for smart people, educated people, opinionated people, political people, self-improvement people, leadership people, and anyone who has ever thought, I know exactly who needs to read this. Careful. That thought is the trap. Inside, you will discover why: - Smart people are often better at defending wrong beliefs- Being right feels good, even when you are wrong- Your beliefs may be wearing a team jersey- Arguments often become identity protection- Certainty can quietly damage relationships, careers, leadership, and culture- Saying I was wrong may be one of the most powerful skills a person can learn Each chapter uses humor, case studies, psychological insight, and short practical drills to help you spot the glued-down cups in your own thinking, not just in everyone else's. This is not a soft, inspirational book about becoming 'more open-minded.' It is a mirror with teeth. If you want to think more clearly, learn faster, argue smarter, resist manipulation, and become the kind of person who can change their mind without falling apart, AMATHIA will give you the name, the tools, and the uncomfortable little shove. Ordinary ignorance is curable with information. Amathia requires something harder. You have to flip the cup.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if the fastest way to think clearly was to stop thinking silently Programmers have a strange, decades-old trick: when their code breaks, they explain it, line by line, to a rubber duck sitting on their desk. The duck does nothing. And the problem gets solved anyway.That trick is hiding a much bigger idea, and this book is about the bigger idea.Your brain is a magnificent instrument with a comically small workspace. Try to solve a complex problem entirely inside your head and you end up pacing the same mental hallway, protecting the same assumptions, mistaking motion for progress. Rubber Ducking is a fast, funny, genuinely useful guide to the alternative: getting your thinking out, where it can finally be heard, seen, questioned, tested, and improved.This is not a programming book. It's a book about how good thinking actually works, for managers, engineers, teachers, writers, students, entrepreneurs, and anyone who regularly thinks themselves into a corner.Inside, you'll discover: - Why your best ideas die in your head, and the simple act that sets them free- The 'Say It Anyway' principle for contributing half-formed ideas without fear- The Whoops Protocol, a six-step way to be wrong in public and come out stronger- Five thinking tools (the Whiteboard, the Walk, the Page, the Question, and the Experiment) and exactly how each one gets misused- How to actually listen, so the expertise trapped in other people's heads finally reaches yours- Why 'yes-men' are manufactured, not born, and how to build a team that tells you the truth before reality does- How to use AI as a real thinking partner, and how to keep it from becoming your most fluent flattererEvery chapter ends with a practical exercise, a self-check, a warning about how the method fails, and a one-line takeaway worth stealing.Real confidence isn't never being wrong. It's being sturdy enough to discover you're wrong, laugh, fix it, and move on. Rubber Ducking shows you how, one ridiculous yellow duck at a time.The door out of your own head opens from the outside. Time to open it.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You were promised a software update. Somewhere around age twenty-five, adulthood was supposed to install itself-a clean, stable upgrade that came preloaded with wisdom, good judgment, and the ability to keep a plant alive for more than eleven days. That update never came. Not for you. Not for the CEO of your company. Not for the president. Not for the Nobel laureate, the surgeon, or the guy on Reddit who is very, very certain about cryptocurrency. In Adults Don't Exist, corporate instructional designer and author Ken Konet delivers a darkly funny, research-backed exploration of why the people we trust most are just guessing with better outfits. Drawing on cognitive science, historical disasters, and spectacularly bad decisions made by some of the smartest humans who ever lived, Konet dismantles the myth of the competent authority-and replaces it with a practical thinking system anyone can use. Inside, you'll discover: - Why Einstein was a genius at physics and a disaster at everything else- How Blockbuster laughed Netflix out of the room-and why every 'adult' in the building agreed- The night before the Challenger explosion, when engineers were excluded from the room by managers- How social media algorithms manufacture false authority at industrial scale- Why the smartest people are often the easiest to manipulate>Part Thinking, Fast and Slow. Part The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F\*ck. All Ken. This isn't a cynical book. It's a liberation. If nobody has it figured out, then you don't have to have it figured out either. You just need better tools for navigating the uncertainty-and this book gives you exactly that. Adults don't exist. But with the right thinking system, you won't need them to.…

Neuware - STOP PUTTING PEOPLE IN BOXES.The coworker you can't figure out.The family member who drives you crazy.The friend who seems impossible to read.The partner who makes perfect sense one day and none the next.What if the problem isn't them What if the problem is the way we've been taught to think about people For decades, personality quizzes, labels, stereotypes, and snap judgments have promised to help us understand human behavior. Yet most of them do exactly the opposite.In Everybody's Complicated, Ken Konet, M.Ed., MBA reveals a surprisingly simple truth: People aren't types. They're patterns.Drawing from modern personality psychology, behavioral science, and decades of research, this engaging guide introduces readers to a practical five-dial framework for understanding why people think, feel, decide, communicate, and behave the way they do.Inside you'll discover: - Why first impressions are often wrong- The psychological shortcuts that distort our judgments- The five personality dimensions that predict real-world behavior- Why every strength comes with hidden tradeoffs- How to understand conflict, communication, and relationships more effectively- Why difficult people often make perfect sense once you know what you're looking at- How to become a better reader of both others and yourselfWhether you're a leader, educator, manager, parent, spouse, or lifelong student of human behavior, Everybody's Complicated will give you a richer, more accurate way to understand the people around you.Because nobody is as simple as your first impression of them.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Think Again Loop is a comprehensive modernization of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich for the era of artificial intelligence, algorithmic attention markets, and behavioral economics. Ken Konet (M.Ed., MBA) and Ibrahim Roble preserve the structural insight that made Hill's 1937 classic an enduring bestseller - that wealth begins in the mind - while replacing his metaphysical explanations with what neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and modern financial research now know to be true. The result is a working operating system for wealth creation in 2026 and beyond.Napoleon Hill sold 100 million copies. He also believed in cosmic vibrations, 'Infinite Intelligence,' and a séance committee that lived inside his head.The principles in Think and Grow Rich are mostly right. The explanations are mostly nonsense. And the gap between 'right principle, wrong explanation' is where readers have been quietly losing money since 1937.Think Again Loop keeps Hill's structural insight - that durable wealth begins in the mind and is built through deliberate, repeated practice - and rebuilds every supporting explanation on what we now actually know about brains, money, and markets.- Cosmic vibrations become neuroplasticity.- Infinite Intelligence becomes predictive coding and the reticular activating system.- The Master Mind becomes a deliberately constructed peer network that, sorry, ChatGPT cannot replicate.What you get instead is a four-phase operating framework - Examine, Design, Execute, Recalibrate - running on a 90-day cadence that refuses to let you out of the room without evidence.Inside: - All 13 of Hill's original principles rebuilt on research from Kahneman, Bandura, Munger, Doidge, Lembke, Klein, Duke, Housel, Clear, and Newport- A Modern Wealth Stack chapter for 2026: income, equity, leverage, taxes, and the AI economy Hill could not have imagined- An Anti-Guru chapter - a structured BS-detection system for evaluating financial advice in a market increasingly saturated by language models with no skin in the game- Exercises after every chapter, because reading without doing is watching a cooking show and calling it dinner- Zero manifestation rituals, vision boards, or instructions to 'raise your frequency'Written by Ken Konet (M.Ed., MBA), a corporate instructional designer who has spent his career studying the gap between what people know and what they do - the most expensive piece of real estate in the human experience - with co-author Ibrahim Roble.This isn't a book about thinking your way rich.It's a book about thinking again - specifically, about the defaults running in your head right now without your permission.The loop runs every 90 days. It doesn't end. That's the point.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The sculpture on the curb wasn't supposed to be worth anything. Cleveland. 1996. Sunday afternoon. Theo Novak is a corporate instructional designer with a deadline, a Jeep, and a habit of garbage picking on his drive home through Shaker Heights. The dark bronze sculpture sitting on the curb in front of a long Tudor Revival is a free score - beautiful in an ugly way, the kind of ugly that costs a lot. It is. It just isn't free. By the end of the week, Theo will have: - Found a brass key and a sealed envelope hidden inside the bronze.- Watched two strangers break into his apartment in broad daylight.- Met an FBI agent who shouldn't exist.- Watched the woman he loves disappear into the back of a U-Haul.- Agreed to walk into the Cleveland Museum of Art in a tailored suit and a fake name to deliver a piece of microfiche older than he is. What's hidden in the sculpture is the seed of a Cold War operation the United States buried thirty years ago. What it's worth is more than the people who killed for it. And whoever ends up with it next will write the next thirty years of history. Theo has nine days. He has never owned a tailored suit. He has never seen anyone die. He is about to do both.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You keep stepping on the same rake. Let's talk about that.In 1979, fifteen-year-old Ken Konet walked barefoot into a dark backyard, stepped on a steel rake, and took the handle directly to the forehead. Three holes in his foot. A cartoon knot on his head. A nurse asking if he'd been hanging around with Wile E. Coyote.Forty-some years later, he found out the rakes get bigger.This is a self-help book for people who are sick of self-help books. No morning routine. No five-step system. No guru telling you to manifest your way out of a Tuesday. Just twelve named, numbered rakes, the specific things that keep flattening you, and a very funny guide to seeing them coming.The twelve rakes include: - The Shame Rake - it hits you twice, and the second hit is optional- The Too Big Rake - your goal was never too hard, it was too big- The Right Now Rake - nobody quits at rock bottom, they quit on day nine- The All-or-Nothing Rake - twenty sloppy days beat eight perfect ones- The Death Grip Rake - you can't catch anything with your fists full- The Burnout Rake - rest isn't the absence of work, it's the second half of it New in the Second Edition Two new chapters. A full Rake Index. Far less homework. And a preface the first edition couldn't have contained.Between editions, the author had spinal surgery, woke up unable to move, and spent four months in daily physical therapy earning his body back one humiliating inch at a time. He finished books from a recliner because it was the only thing his body would still let him do. Then, three quarters recovered and genuinely excited to return to work, he was laid off.The first edition was written by a guy who had stepped on rakes and gotten up. This one was written from the yard, with a bloody foot, laughing, telling you it still works.Every tool in this book got tested this year under conditions nobody would volunteer for. All of them held.This book is for you if: - You've quit the same goal more times than you'd like to admit- One missed day makes you write off the whole month- You're waiting to 'feel ready' and it hasn't happened yet- Something landed on your life that you didn't choose- You want practical help that doesn't sound like a motivational poster Sarcastic. Warm. Occasionally profane. Relentlessly useful.Stop waiting for Monday. Start with a rake you can name.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What Nobody Told You About Raising Emotionally Intelligent KidsYou can see it everywhere.Adults who fall apart when life gets hard. Who lash out when they feel threatened. Who cannot receive feedback without becoming defensive, cannot sit with someone else's pain without trying to fix or flee it, cannot own a mistake without spending three days constructing an elaborate case for why it was actually someone else's fault.These are not bad people. They are people who never got the toolkit.Nobody taught them. And now they are struggling, in their careers, their marriages, their families. with a foundation that was never properly built.The Whole Child is about making sure your child does not grow up to be one of those adults.A Framework That Actually WorksBuilt around The Five Roots - Notice, Name, Regulate, Connect, Repair - this book gives you a complete, teachable architecture for emotional intelligence that works at every stage of development: - The Builder (Ages 2-5)- The Explorer (Ages 6-10)- The Questioner (Ages 11-13)- The Architect (Ages 14-17)- The Launcher (Ages 18-22) Every chapter tells you not just what to do, but exactly how it looks at each developmental stage, because what works with a six-year-old and what works with a sixteen-year-old are not the same conversation.What You Will Learn- Why 'they'll figure it out' is the most expensive assumption in parenting- How to create a home where your child tells you the truth - before the problem compounds- The neuroscience of why naming a feeling actually calms the brain- Why shame doesn't improve behavior, and what actually does- How to teach accountability without crushing your child's confidence- What genuine empathy looks like, and why it is the highest-leverage skill you can develop- How to raise a child who can navigate conflict, digital life, boundaries, and failure. with skill, not just survival Written By Someone Who Has Watched This From Both Sides: Ken Konet, M.Ed., MBA, is a Corporate Instructional Designer who has spent decades designing EQ-based curricula for adult professionals - watching, up close, what happens when the foundation was never built. The adults in those training rooms weren't lacking intelligence. They were working without skills that should have been developed in childhood.The Whole Child is the upstream answer to a downstream problem.The Research Is Here. The Practicality Is Here. The Tuesday Night Moment Is Here.This is not a book about perfect parenting. It is a book about intentional parenting, about the small, repeatable moments that build something in a child that no credential, no achievement, and no amount of money can substitute for.Emotionally intelligent adults are not born.
