The Happy Economist : Happiness for the hard-headed order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 34.00 each
Paperback
Author: Ross Gittins
In Stock: 2
A provocative look at an area few economists dare to tread, by Australia's most read economic commentator. Ross Gittins distills the practical wisdom from all the recent scientific study of happiness by psychologists and economists. He argues that happiness isn't about maintaining a forced smile or a self-centred concern to maximise pleasure and minimise pain, but about living a satisfying life of endeavour, achievement and mutually rewarding relationships. Most of us are happy most of the time, but there is more we could do to increase our satisfaction. And a different approach by governments - with less emphasis on economic growth and efficiency, and more on preserving the planet and the social fabric - could add to 'national happiness'.

The Winner's Bible : Rewiring Your Brain for Permanent Change order quantity

NZ$ 39.00 each
Paperback
Author: Kerry Spackman
In Stock: 2
Why other books didn't change you - and this one will. You've probably read plenty of books which promised to turn you into a happy, rich and successful person. Books filled with brilliant ideas that were finally going to transform your life. However, if you're like most people, you'll find a year later not much has actually changed in your life. The problem is that 'knowing' what to do and being able to do it are two entirely different things. Permanent change requires both the logical and the emotional circuits of your brain to be re-wired. Your brain is not a computer that can be re-programmed by simply running 'different thoughts' through your mind. Formula 1 Neuroscientist Dr Spackman explains, with fascinating examples taken from real life, the tools he developed to transform the performance of world class athletes and corporate executives. The Winne'rs Bible is a riveting read that will show you how to rise above your natural ... more

A Good Talk order quantity

NZ$ 29.00 each
Paperback
Author: Daniel Menaker
In Stock: 1
A Good Talk is an analysis of and guide to that most exclusively human of all activities - conversation. Drawing on over forty years of experience in American letters, Menaker pinpoints the factors that drive and enliven every good conversation: the vagaries (and joys) of subtext; the deeper structure and meaning of conversational flow; the subliminal signals that guide our disclosures and confessions; and the countless other hurdles we must clear along the way. Moving beyond self-help musings and 'how to' advice, he has created a stylish, funny and surprising book: a celebration of 'the most excusively human of all activities'. In a time when conversation remains deeply important - for building relationships, for relaxing, even for figuring out who we are - and also increasingly imperiled (with Blackberries and texting increasingly in vogue), CAN WE TALK? is a refreshing celebration of the subtle adventures of a good conversation.

A New Psychology of Personal Freedom

Dr. William Glasser offers a new psychology that, if practiced, could reverse our widespread inability to get along with one another, an inability that is the source of almost all unhappiness.

For progress in human relationships, he explains that we must give up the punishing, relationship–destroying external control psychology. For example, if you are in an unhappy relationship right now, he proposes that one or both of you could be using external control psychology on the other. He goes further. And suggests that misery is always related to a current unsatisfying relationship. Contrary to what you may believe, your troubles are always now, never in the past. No one can change what happened yesterday.

In less than 200 pages, Depression 101 presents readers with everything they need to know to begin treatment and overcome the disorder.
One debilitating symptom of depression is a lack of motivation to change.

A depression assessment scale helps readers determine their depression level.

Author: Daniel H. Pink

We've been conditioned to think that the best way to motivate ourselves and others is through external rewards like money or fame, or by the fear of punishment - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, Daniel H. Pink says in his transformative new book. The key to high performance and satisfaction is intrinsic, internal motivation: the desire to follow your own interests and understand the benefits in them for you. In Drive, Pink lays out the hard science for these surprising insights; describes how people and corporations can embrace them; offers details about how we can master them; and provides concrete examples of how intrinsic motivation works on the job, at home and in ourselves.
