<p>Compete better...\nIn a competitive situation our bodies can experience the same level of stress hormones as jumping out of a plane. Competition is often the key to outstanding achievement. But what is it that makes the difference between rising to the challenge and buckling under pressure?\nUsing groundbreaking studies in diverse scientific fields, Bronson and Merryman demonstrate that understanding how to harness our competitive fire means we can perform our best – whether the contest is sporting, academic or in the workplace.\nWhy are men typically prepared to gamble on long or even stupid odds and women aren’t?\nWhy do some less talented students consistently outperform their smarter class mates in crucial exams?\nWhy do higher levels of testosterone actually make you less selfish and more cooperative and cognitively astute?\nWhy do so many market-leading companies cede their top position because they become risk averse at the wrong times?\nWhy do sports teams where the pay differential between players is the greatest win more?\nThe answer to all this and more is in New York Times no.1 bestselling authors Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman's Top Dog:The Science of Winning and Losing\n‘A great read for those paralyzed by the fear of failure as well as thosewho hunger for success’<br />

<p>In a world of modern, involved, caring parents, why are so many kids aggressive and cruel? Where is intelligence hidden in the brain, and why does that matter? Why do cross-racial friendships decrease in schools that are more integrated? If 98% of kids think lying is morally wrong, then why do 98% of kids lie? What's the single most important thing that helps infants learn language?<br> NurtureShock is a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, they demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science have been overlooked.<br> Nothing like a parenting manual, the authors' work is an insightful exploration of themes and issues that transcend children's (and adults') lives.</p>
