Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "A persuasive wake-up call."--People A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the award-winning journalist Paul Tough, a provocative and profound examination of child development, success, and character--an insightful study that reveals the power to transform young people's lives. Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. In How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that success has more to do with character--a set of noncognitive skills that includes perseverance, curiosity, optimism, and self-control. In this groundbreaking study grounded in psychology and neuroscience, Tough introduces us to key researchers and educators, who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories--and the stories of the children they are trying to help--Tough reveals how developing character strengths like grit has the power to transform young people's lives. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book will not only inspire and engage readers--it will also change our understanding of childhood itself. Why is our modern focus on test scores and IQ failing so many children--and what does the science of child development say we should be focusing on instead? The Character Hypothesis: An exploration of why qualities like perseverance, curiosity, and self-control are more predictive of long-term success than IQ scores from preschool to the SATs. The Science of Stress: A look at the groundbreaking neuroscience revealing how childhood adversity shapes the developing brain, and how nurturing relationships can reverse the damage. How Character is Built: From the classrooms of innovative schools to the labs of leading psychologists, discover how traits like grit and self-discipline are not born, but made. Rethinking Education: A new roadmap for parents and educators that moves beyond the achievement gap and focuses on creating environments where all children can thrive.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. NATIONAL BESTSELLER Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award "The best window I've seen into this new world." --David Brooks, The New York Times   In this indispensable guide to navigating the twenty-first century, two visionary thinkers reveal how "new power" is reshaping politics, business, and life to be more open, participatory, and peer-driven. Here, Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms reveal a new and compelling lens on the biggest stories of our age--from the out-of-nowhere victory of Donald Trump to the rise of mega-platforms like Facebook. They show the strength of new power--movements like #MeToo; platforms like Airbnb and Lyft; organizations like TED and Lego--as well as its dark side. They contrast it to "old power," the foundations of which are coming under assault in an age of ubiquitous participation.   The battle between old and new power is determining who governs us, how we work, and even how we think and feel. This groundbreaking book provides a new way to understand the world--and the tools we all need to thrive in it.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories--and the stories of the children they are trying to help--Tough traces the links between childhood stress and life success. He uncovers the surprising ways in which parents do--and do not--prepare their children for adulthood. And he provides us with new insights into how to help children growing up in poverty. Early adversity, scientists have come to understand, can not only affect the conditions of children's lives, it can alter the physical development of their brains as well. But now educators and doctors around the country are using that knowledge to develop innovative interventions that allow children to overcome the constraints of poverty. And with the help of these new strategies, as Tough's extraordinary reporting makes clear, children who grow up in the most painful circumstances can go on to achieve amazing things. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book has the potential to change how we raise our children, how we run our schools, and how we construct our social safety net. It will not only inspire and engage readers, it will also change our understanding of childhood itself.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A human behavior expert reveals that what leaders know about themselves is more important than their leadership skills and job knowledge.Who we are on the inside can determine leadership success more than what we do or what we know.

This is the leadership book only a world-respected psychologist could have written, and it is revolutionary in its insight.…
