"...an engaging and enlightening account from which we all can benefit."—The Wall Street Journal A better way to combat knee-jerk biases and make smarter decisions, from Julia Galef, the acclaimed expert on rational decision-making. When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a "soldier" mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalizing in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe—and shoot down those we don't. But if we want to get things right more often, argues Galef, we should train ourselves to have a "scout" mindset. Unlike the soldier, a scout's goal isn't to defend one side over the other. It's to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what's actually true. In The Scout Mindset, Galef shows that what makes scouts better at getting things right isn't that they're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. It's a handful of emotional skills, habits, and ways of looking at the world—which anyone can learn. With fascinating examples ranging from how to survive being stranded in the middle of the ocean, to how Jeff Bezos avoids overconfidence, to how superforecasters outperform CIA operatives, to Reddit threads and modern partisan politics, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to change the way we think.

Imagine a school with a culture so positive that everyone thrives: students and educators alike. Classrooms are lively, students feel they're part of a community that cares about them, and teachers are happy and productive. Too good to be true? Not in a ridiculously amazing school. There are many of them all across the country. What are their secrets to success? In this book, principal Tracey Smith and Jeff Waller, co-author of The 7 Mindsets to Live Your Ultimate Life, show how taking care of educators first--and cultivating supportive relationships--results in profound and positive changes. Smith and Waller explore the five key elements of what they call courageous schools: schools that understand it takes a "whole" teacher to teach the "whole" child. They reveal the one variable that stands out as a predictor of sustained excellence...and it isn't about leadership style, teaching practices, or demographics. There's no question that teaching is hard work with little instant gratification, and too many educators go to work each day feeling unappreciated and overburdened. But it shouldn't--and doesn't--have to be that way. Smith and Waller offer practical solutions and a road map to drive real and meaningful change within the school and classroom. It's possible to create a nurturing climate where teachers are respected and have the power to transform lives...not just their students' lives, but their own.

From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.

"I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself." -Pietro Aretino Do you ever feel like you are capable of so much more in life, career, and relationships, but have done nothing or very little about it? Do you detest mediocrity and fear that at the end of your life, you will have not done everything in life that you were capable of? Do you feel that a better life awaits you, if only you had a ROADMAP? Don't believe anybody who tells you there is a way to "hack" life or that you can achieve success in life in "four hours a week." There are NO shortcuts in life, but THE KING'S MINDSET is a ROADMAP to success for every ambitious and hungry badass. THE KING'S MINDSET will teach you how to reprogram your mindsets for ultimate success, mindsets which very few men possess these days. Very few men possess these mindsets because most men around them are struggling with mediocrity as well. Most men have grown up without proper mentorship and guidance. The problem with modern society is that it is virtually impossible for most men to find a positive, masculine role model or mentor. Exposure to amazing and inspiring people is often the tipping point for somebody mired in mediocrity towards greater success. ENTER THE KING'S MINDSET: TWENTY MINDSETS TO TRANSFORM ORDINARY MEN INTO KINGS... THE KING'S MINDSET is a treasure trove of PROVEN mindsets derived from great historical KINGS and WORLD LEADERS who have reached the pinnacle of power, respect, and success at many different points in history. In the book, you will find quotes and stories straight from the mouths (or pens) of these great world leaders illustrating the essential mindsets they utilized in building their "beautiful kingdoms." As you will see, the road to becoming a "king" starts with ruling YOURSELF. Some of the historical kings whose mindsets and best thinkings are represented in THE KING'S MINDSET are: Frederick the Great, Chandragupta Maurya, Alexander the Great, Marcus Aurelius, and many others. What better mentors could a man ask for and have? By internalizing THE KING'S MINDSET, a collection of TWENTY ESSENTIAL MINDSETS for men who wish to be much more than mediocre, you will learn how to avoid procrastination and take massive action, reduce fear and self-doubt, and build the self-confidence of a king. By doing so, you will have unlimited potential to make more money, have more friends and better relationships with women, gain the respect of others, and live a life that you have envisioned and designed for yourself. In this book, you will learn the twenty kingly mindsets and how to internalize them. A special bonus is also included wherein you will learn how to develop a compelling mission and vision for your life, and then how to IGNITE that mission and vision into a BURNING AMBITION that will fuel your life and guide your journey. By the end of THE KING'S MINDSET, you will be fully equipped to take what the author calls "The King's Journey," the journey towards making you and your life a "beautiful kingdom." Most importantly, you will live your life as a modern day "king," the man you were born to be, a man who lives life ON HIS OWN TERMS. What are you waiting for? A king is a MAN OF ACTION and never delays in seizing opportunities that come his way. Answer the call of the "The King's Journey" today!

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work.
