Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Questions for Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein Amazon.com: What do you mean by nudge and why do people sometimes need to be nudged? Thaler and Sunstein: By a nudge we mean anything that influences our choices. A school cafeteria might try to nudge kids toward good diets by putting the healthiest foods at front. We think that it s time for institutions, including government, to become much more user-friendly by enlisting the science of choice to make life easier for people and by gentling nudging them in directions that will make their lives better. Amazon.com: What are some of the situations where nudges can make a difference? Thaler and Sunstein: Well, to name just a few: better investments for everyone, more savings for retirement, less obesity, more charitable giving, a cleaner planet, and an improved educational system. We could easily make people both wealthier and healthier by devising friendlier c...

#Better Late Than Never (2008-07-26) This book was recommended to me by an instructor/coach at a Workplace Conflict Program. It was such an important book for me to read as a recent target of workplace psychpaths. It has really opened my eyes to this frightening issue. This is a book for anyone who is planning on having a job or has a job.
#One of the Most Essential Works on Psychopathy (2008-03-14) Snakes in Suits is one of the most essential works on psychopathy, as well gives the reader the working knowledge of how psychopaths operate in the job industry, especially in the corporate workplace. Not only will this book to help the reader to understand how corporate psychopaths operate, but it will give a great deal of insights and helpful tips on how to deal with them and how to protect oneself from them. I give high praises to Hare for this work on the subject. This book is well written and easy to read as well an eye...
#A must read for every working person (2007-12-30) This books gives a wealth of insight into how to deal with psychopaths in the work place. It clearly outlines how the psychopaths with the use of lying, manipulation and charm often easily manages to get pass the screening interviews for high powered jobs in the workplace. It describes the whole process by which the company and the whole workplace becomes toxic due to the psychopath s influence and it offers the steps and solutions to counteract in order to protect oneself and also for businesses to protect themselves.

#It s scary how many psychopaths we know....... (2007-12-28) This is an excellent book and an easy read for anyone. The authors (being highly educated psychologists) did an excellent job in writing this book for the average person. They communicate the characteristics of workplace psychopaths in plain, clear language than anyone can understand and relate to. Readers will be shocked when reading the book because they will realize that there are psychopaths all among us in the work place, I easily identified two or three individuals in my short career who fit the bill perfectly.
#a study of the pathological personality (2007-11-04) This is an astounding, essential reference when it comes to understanding and dealing with psychopathological individuals in the workplace. They are FAR more prevalent than most people imagine, and especially in positions of power and authority, to which they naturally gravitate. As the authors point out, psychopaths rarely take the form of Hannibal Lectur , but are much more likely to come in the guise of a slick, fast talking, charismatic high-flyer, who ruthlessly backstabs and manipulates his way into positions of power, for pe...

#How to create a culture of problem solvers rather than problem sharers (2008-08-02) Some complaints are justified, others are not. Personally, I have found that chronic complaining (even silently to myself) accomplishes nothing positive. However, for many people, it seems to be an essential part of their personality, almost a way of life for them, and can be contagious among others, helping to create a toxic climate. It s best to avoid such people whenever possible but sometimes that is impossible. What to do? That is essentially the question to which Jon Gordon responds in this sl...

It has an enormous variety of invaluable, fact-based information which helped me with relationships, my career and, most important, knowing myself.

#How to Get Your Company To Use TOC (2004-02-23) This book has recieved mixed review, likely because it isn t so much an explaination of TOC or how to do TOC, as it is how to get your company to use TOC. The book explains how TOC fits into the bigger pictures of science, organizations, and business. Then explains how to introduce TOC into a company so it will be supported by top management with enough force to obtain ",critical mass", and become part of the organization. If you use this book to properly introduce TOC to your company, it will be very helpful. If you use t...
#(Un ) commonsense (2000-08-08) Commonsense is said to be not very common! Hence this book and the theory that can be put to use to achieve dramatic results. One question that a reader is likely to encounter in reading this is whether to read ",The Goal", before reading this book. I feel that it does not matter as long as you finished reading both. In fact Mr Goldratt relies heavily on several chapters of ",The Goal", to illustrate the theory. Whatever the nature of business, Throughput, Operating Expenses and Inventory are the parameters on which managers gra...
