The Courage to Be Disliked, already an enormous best seller in Asia with more than 3.5 million copies sold, demonstrates how to unlock the power within yourself to be the person you truly want to be. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 20th-century psychology, The Courage to Be Disliked follows an illuminating conversation between a philosopher and a young man.

How do we see in three dimensions? What makes us happy, afraid, angry, disgusted, or sexually aroused? Why do we fall in love?

Acclaimed adolescent psychiatrist and educator Jess Shatkin brings more than two decades' worth of research and clinical experience to the subject, along with cutting-edge findings from brain science, evolutionary psychology, and other disciplines.

Resumen del Editor
Renowned psychologist Walter Mischel, designer of the famous Marshmallow Test, explains what self-control is and how to master it.
A child is presented with a marshmallow and given a choice: Eat this one now, or wait and enjoy two later. What will she do? And what are the implications for her behavior later in life?
The world's leading expert on self-control, Walter Mischel has proven that the ability to delay gratification is critical for a successful life, predicting higher SAT scores, better social and cognitive functioning, a healthier lifestyle and a greater sense of self-worth. But is willpower prewired, or can it be taught?
In The Marshmallow Test, Mischel explains how self-control can be mastered and applied to challenges in everyday life - from weight control to quitting smoking, overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions, and planning for retirement. With profound implications for the choices we make in parenting, education, public policy and self-care, The Marshmallow Test will change the way you think about who we are and what we can be.

Many of us know we're putting too much pressure on our kids - and on ourselves - but how do we get off this crazy train? We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives.

A veteran clinical psychologist exposes why doctors, teachers, and parents incorrectly diagnose healthy American children with serious psychiatric conditions. In recent years there has been an alarming rise in the number of American children and youth assigned a mental health diagnosis. Current data from the Centers for Disease Control reveal a 41 percent increase in rates of ADHD diagnoses over the past decade and a forty-fold spike in bipolar disorder diagnoses.

Why are some people so quick to recover from a setback while others wallow in despair? Why are some people so highly attuned to others that they seem psychic, while other people put both feet in it over and over again? Why are some people always up and others always down? In this hotly anticipated book, award-winning, pioneering neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson answers these questions by offering an entirely new model of our emotions - their origins, their power, and their malleability.

The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character.

Nearly every depressed person is assured by doctors, well-meaning friends and family, the media, and ubiquitous advertisements that the underlying problem is a chemical imbalance. Such a simple defect should be fixable, yet despite all of the resources that have been devoted to finding a pharmacological solution, depression remains stubbornly widespread. Why are we losing this fight?

In Ungifted, cognitive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman - who was relegated to special education as a child - sets out to show that the way we interpret traditional metrics of intelligence is misguided. Kaufman explores the latest research in genetics and neuroscience, as well as evolutionary, developmental, social, positive, and cognitive psychology, to challenge the conventional wisdom about the childhood predictors of adult success. He reveals that there are many paths to greatness, and argues for a more holistic approach to achievement that takes into account each young person’s personal goals, individual psychology, and developmental trajectory.

The Self Illusion provides a fascinating examination of how the latest science shows that our individual concept of a self is in fact an illusion. Most of us believe that we possess a self - an internal individual who resides inside our bodies, making decisions, authoring actions and possessing free will. The feeling that a single, unified, enduring self inhabits the body is compelling and inescapable. But that sovereignty of the self is increasingly under threat from science as our understanding of the brain advances.

Great insights into our minds and motivations
The first half of the book would have done well with further editing. The second half of the book was far more interesting and engaging. Alan Alda is a wonderful narrator and that helped with getting through some of the more technical and repetitive aspects of the book.
It was worth it to stay closely focused to the very end. This research is critically important to the future of our educational system, providing preschoolers with a better skill set for success and helping adults understand that change for themselves is still possible.
I would highly recommend this.

Wow! I honestly could not put this book down! I was so impressed by what I heard, I applied the teaching in my own life. Simply amazing! For 21 days I have been making positive changes in my life and The Marshmallow Test impacted my life. I have changed my thought process on how I look at achieving my goals! I'm not giving in to temptation. I am thankful I learned something from this book.

Interesting and enjoyable
I'm sure I'm biased, but I could probably listen to Alan Alda read the phone book for 20 hours and enjoy it. I'm pretty sure I loved the book, too. Ties in nicely with brain plasticity work and mind vs. brain concepts, if you enjoy that.

Retitle: Childhood development and self-control
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but had trouble understanding how this book was supposed to extend past the discussion of adolescent development. Even in that realm, I couldn't help but be somewhat skeptical of his policy prescriptions.
Regardless, this book is definitely worth the seven hours of listen time. He introduces a lot of research and synthesizes big ideas with some amazing skills. Alan Alda was great, too (although after finishing the book, I felt the strange urge to binge a few episodes of M.A.S.H.)

academic
this book was well put together and well integrated with other resources that I have read on the same topic. However it is very academic in nature it is not filled with practical examples. reader and should be aware of this when deciding between this and other books on the same topic.

Unsatisfying
Good topic. Not a great narration nor did I find the content that compelling. Overall, was unsatisfied with this book.

A nice expansion of the headline.
What did you love best about The Marshmallow Test?
I thought the author did well unpacking the details of the Marshmallow Test and its broad range of implications. Some people might find the detailing of the brain regions too much or unnecessary, but I enjoyed the additional information.
Which character – as performed by Alan Alda – was your favorite?
Alan Alda is a great narrator, I really enjoyed his work.

Fascinating and well read, but ultimately more facts and research than I was expecting.
“I think, therefore I can change the way I am”
Some great stuff in this book! I enjoyed listening, and definitely have some takeaways. However, at times it gets very dry and without the stats in front of you, you just have to kind of push through it.
Overall, be encouraged by the reality that it’s never to late for personal improvement. You aren’t who you will always be, and delayed gratification is one of the many ways we can train ourselves towards betterment.
