The Illusion of Choice: 16 1/2 Psychological Biases That Influence What We Buy
The compelling new book by Richard Shotton, author of The Choice Factory.Every day, people make hundreds of choices.
Many of these are commercial: What shampoo to pick? How much to spend on a bottle of wine? Whether to renew a subscription?
These choices might appear to be freely made, but psychologists have shown that subtle changes in the way products are positioned, promoted and marketed can radically alter how customers behave.
The Illusion of Choice identifies the 16½ most important psychological biases that everyone in business needs to be aware of today – and shows how any business can take advantage of these to win customers, retain customers and sell more.
Richard Shotton, author of the acclaimed The Choice Factory, draws on academic research, previous ad campaigns and his own original field studies to create a fascinating and highly practical guide that focuses on the point where marketing meets the mind of the customer.
You’ll learn to take advantage of the peak end rule, the power of precision, the wisdom of wit – and much, much more.
You simply cannot afford to miss The Illusion of Choice.

The Psychological Safety Playbook: Lead More Powerfully by Being More Human
*Nonfiction Book Award Silver Medal**2023 NYC Big Book Award Distinguished Favorite*
The how-to guide for transformative leadership
Every employee, at every level, wants to feel seen, heard, and respected. If we don’t feel safe, we can’t be our best selves or do our most creative work. This is why leaders must ensure psychological safety for everyone in their team. Whether you’re a manager, CEO, or entrepreneur, The Psychological Safety Playbook is the guide you need to lead your team to the highest levels of performance and innovation.
The Psychological Safety Playbook invites you to explore twenty-five specific actions that will create more psychological safety in your workplace. These are all moves that every leader can adopt and practice. Each move features a description of why to try it, instructions on how to do it, and a nutshell summary. You can start anywhere in the playbook—all the plays and moves are self-contained!
Written by Karolin Helbig, a highly respected executive mindset coach with a doctorate in human genetics and extensive consulting experience, and Minette Norman, a sought-after leadership consultant with thirty years of experience in the tech sector, The Psychological Safety Playbook is the essential guide for leaders who are committed to fostering psychological safety in their teams.
In their combined years of business and applied practice, the authors have continually observed how creating a high-performing, innovative workforce starts with building a foundation of respect and shared humanity.

By contrast, when we can ask a naïve question, propose a wild idea, or share our honest emotions—that’s when psychological safety fuels team performance.

The Queering of Corporate America: How Big Business Went from LGBT Adversary to Ally (Queer Ideas/Queer Action)
An accurate picture of the LGBTQ rights movement’s achievements is incomplete without this surprising history of how corporate America joined the cause.Legal scholar Carlos Ball tells the overlooked story of how LGBTQ activism aimed at corporations since the Stonewall riots helped turn them from enterprises either indifferent to or openly hostile toward sexual minorities and transgender individuals into reliable and powerful allies of the movement for queer equality. As a result of street protests and boycotts during the 1970s, AIDS activism directed at pharmaceutical companies in the 1980s, and the push for corporate nondiscrimination policies and domestic partnership benefits in the 1990s, LGBTQ activism changed big business’s understanding and treatment of the queer community. By the 2000s, corporations were frequently and vigorously promoting LGBTQ equality, both within their walls and in the public sphere. Large companies such as American Airlines, Apple, Google, Marriott, and Walmart have been crucial allies in promoting marriage equality and opposing anti-LGBTQ regulations such as transgender bathroom laws.
At a time when the LGBTQ movement is facing considerable political backlash, The Queering of Corporate America complicates the narrative of corporate conservatism and provides insights into the future legal, political, and cultural implications of this unexpected relationship.

The Reason Everything Happens: Mental Health Without The Bulls**t
I’m not a doctor, a psychologist or a psychiatrist and this isn’t an academic work.
These are just the thoughts of someone who got stuck in the mental health quagmire, who chose to find their own way back to dry land and how now tries to help others get trapped up to their necks.
In doing this, I use three key words:
Responsibility. Consequences. Accountability.
A stronger mind starts with us taking responsibility for everything we do and say.
We then need to understand the potential consequences of these words and actions.
And we need to be accountable to ourselves, to stick to the plan of who and what we want to be.
There’s no question these days that it’s too easy to blame others for how we’re feeling, to feign outrage or claim to be triggered. We’re encouraged to lash out, to look for scapegoats.
This isn’t a healthy way to be, not for us or for anyone around us, which is why The Reason Everything Happens encourages us to accept – even embrace – our own failings and weaknesses as well as our successes and strengths. It invites us to try to understand why other are the way they are, rather than isolating them because of it.
Because if every did this…well, the logic is that no one would be scapegoating anyone else, no one would be lashing out.
That’s a huge wish on my part, of course. But even if this book encourages one person to choose a new way of thinking, to accept responsibility and understand consequences, to be accountable, then it will have been worth writing.
Oh, and it also tells you how to cook the perfect Beef Wellington.Read more

The Teaching Delusion: Why teaching in our schools isn’t good enough (and how we can make it better)
The Teaching Delusion by senior education consultant Bruce Robertson offers a bold, refreshing and sometimes provocative stance on teaching and leadership. Informed by the latest educational research and drawing on two decades of professional experience, Robertson examines how teaching in schools can be transformed from good to great.The new title from John Catt Educational poses challenging yet important questions to its readers. Schools are filled with great teachers, but is great teaching taking place in every classroom? How can educators expect students to cultivate a lifelong passion for learning if they themselves are lacking this?
Robertson’s solution is twofold. To promote excellent teaching, there must be a shared understanding of what high-quality teaching really is what does it look like, and how can it be fostered? Secondly, there must be a school-wide desire to engage in professional learning. With his school having won the General Teaching Council for Scotland’s Excellence in Professional Learning Award in 2019, Robertson uses his personal track-record of success to explore how these barriers can be addressed to lead to a transformation in teaching practice.
Written by a teacher and school leader for teachers and school leaders, The Teaching Delusion aims to support teaching communities to develop and improve their practice, in order to ensure that all students receive the same level of excellent education. Aligning himself firmly on the side of teachers and keen to avoid teacher bashing, Robertson sensitively engages in an often controversial discussion about how to improve the quality of teaching, aiming to boost knowledge, awareness and ultimately self-esteem in both educators and learners.
The Teaching Delusion combines practicality with pedagogy in a thoughtful, unique approach making it a vital resource for teachers and leaders at all levels who are looking to better their practice.

It’s the age-old issue facing sales organizations. Sales training and enablement is focused on the sales team, not the leaders. The prevailing thought is if you have graduated to sales leadership, you must already know what you’re doing, otherwise you wouldn’t have been promoted into the role.
For most sales leaders, their approach is borne from experiences working for and around other sales leaders. No formal training. No framework. Limited understanding of how individual salespeople are inspired to stay, do their best, and advocate to others.
Hitting a revenue target is not the job, it’s the outcome.
The inspiration of your team is only “coin operated” if you’re doing it wrong.
But there’s good news!
Sales leadership doesn’t have to be that hard. There’s a massive opportunity to stand out from the rest; to be more prepared, more effective and to maximize the revenue capacity of your teams.
And in today’s environment, where the physical and emotional cost of changing sales jobs is practically non-existent, the ability to recruit, retain and optimize has never been more important.
The Transparent Sales Leader challenges long-held sales leadership standards, providing a modern, cards-face-up, science-backed, easy-to-implement framework for today’s sales leaders.
Todd Caponi, author of The Transparency Sale, brings the science of transparency and intrinsic inspiration to the pages of this book, in a simple-to-understand-and-implement structure to help you get the job, plan, strategize and communicate to your team, your bosses, and even your board.
In the end, you’ll see the holes before they form. You’ll stop chasing, and start growing.

Napoleon Hill, America’s most beloved motivational author, devoted 25 years to finding out how the wealthy became that way.

Thinking, Fast and Slow: Daniel Kahneman
One of the most influential books of the 21st century: the ground-breaking psychology classic – over 10 million copies sold – that changed the way we think about thinking
‘There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. That masterpiece is Thinking, Fast and Slow’ Financial Times
‘A lifetime’s worth of wisdom’ Steven D. Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics
Why do we make the decisions we do? Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman, ‘the world’s most influential living psychologist’ (Steven Pinker) revolutionised our understanding of human behaviour with Thinking, Fast and Slow. Distilling his life’s work, Kahneman shows how there are two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. He reveals how our minds are tripped up by error, bias and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical) and gives practical techniques that enable us all to improve our decision-making. This profound exploration of the marvels and limitations of the human mind has had a lasting impact on how we see ourselves.
‘The godfather of behavioural science … his steely analysis of the human mind and its many flaws remains perhaps the most useful guide to remaining sane and steady’ Sunday Times

Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect
In 2006, Will Guidara and Swiss chef Daniel Humm were placed at the helm of Eleven Madison Park. The establishment, a brasserie with an identity crisis, was in desperate need of magic. In 2017, Eleven Madison Park was named the best restaurant in the world, legendary for its memorable, over-the-top, bespoke hospitality as much as its food. How did Eleven Madison Park pull off this radical transformation? The answer is simple – its world-class hospitality. Guidara’s team would send a family who had never seen snow to Central Park with a sled on a snowy night or track down the cab that a guest had left their iPhone in to retrieve the device. And his hospitality extended beyond the dining room and into the kitchen, where he encouraged his entire restaurant team to learn continuously, tap into their own passions, and think like owners no matter their roles. We can all transform ordinary business transactions into an extraordinary hospitality experience. Through sparkling stories of Guidara’s journey through the restaurant industry, featuring the industry’s most famous players like Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer, Guidara urges us all to find the magic in what we do – for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve.Read more
