What's Next - Brockman

This is a compilation of cutting edge interdisciplinary research. Josh Greene has an essay in this, which is why it was bought and read it.

Power - Robert Greene

Interesting take on the sources of power; a bit harsh and certainly specific to power.

Mindset The New Psychology of Success - Dweck

Fixed or Growth are the two mindsets. Fixed is simply that you feel predisposed to be how you are. Growth means that you learn from experiences and do not fear new experiences or possible failure.

The Moral Animal - Wright

Sources of Power How People Make Decisions - Klein

Ah, not enough real research and a whole bunch of conjecture. Some good ideas though. The guy was married to firefighters and pilots - couldn't he find somebody else to track.

This professor teaches Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The book was very informative and I've already begun to implement many of the theories - one of which is a winner and I'm sending it to you separately.
