Set your future self up for success with the “fascinating, profound, and immediately practical guide to shaping your life to come, while living more richly in the moment."―Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks We've all had the desire to travel through time and see what our lives will be like later in life. But while we want the best possible future for ourselves, we often fail to make decisions that would truly make that version of the future a reality: Why do we choose steak over vegetables at dinner, waving off concerns about high cholesterol? Why do we splurge on luxury cars rather than save for retirement? Why can’t we stick to our exercise programs? Why are so many of us...

Life can change in the blink of an eye. Just ask Hayden Stone. One minute he's on his way to visit his brother in New York, the next he's running for his life. Previously normal people are becoming mindless killers, at least, those that don't vanish into thin air. Worse, there are other things out there, frightening things that should not exist. Thrust into a world in which nothing works, no phones, no internet, no cars, Hayden and a ragtag group of dazed survivors must pull together to achieve the impossible: Survive.
Maak verbinding met je toekomstige zelf zodat je leven later én nu beter wordt We willen allemaal een geweldige toekomst. Waarom lukt het ons dan toch zo vaak niet om de beste keuzes voor de lange termijn te maken, zoals gezond eten, regelmatig sporten en voldoende sparen? In Je toekomst is nu deelt psycholoog en gedragswetenschapper Hal Hershfield zijn baanbrekende onderzoek waaruit blijkt dat we vaak geneigd zijn om te kiezen voor onmiddellijke bevrediging van onze behoeftes, ook al gaat dat ten koste van onze gezondheid en ons welzijn op de lange termijn. Hershfield helpt je om te ontdekken welke mentale fouten je vaak maakt als je over de toekomst denkt, en laat zien hoe je een verbinding kunt maken met je toekomstige zelf, zodat je leven later én nu beter wordt.
Quante volte ci capita di sognare - non solo da bambini - di costruire una macchina del tempo per scoprire se un giorno diventeremo davvero la persona che vogliamo essere? Pura fantascienza, lo sappiamo. E seppelliamo l'idea, presi dal presente frenetico che conosciamo bene. Puntualmente riempiamo la nostra vita di mille impegni per poi accorgerci, con ansia, che non siamo in grado di portarli a termine. Per consolarci cerchiamo gratificazioni istantanee, come se le conseguenze non ci riguardassero. Siamo talmente concentrati sull'oggi che il futuro arriva di colpo e ci coglie impreparati. E ci ritroviamo esausti e insoddisfatti, se non addirittura travolti dagli eventi. Cosa direbbe di noi ...
Imagine que atravessa um portal que lhe dá acesso ao seu futuro. Vê se a si próprio daqui a vinte anos numa versão bem-sucedida e gosta do que vê. Agora imagine que acontece exatamente o contrário, e sente-se dececionado. O que fará quando voltar ao presente? Continua a ter os mesmos comportamentos de sempre? Ou começa a repensar o caminho? Esta é a questão central do trabalho de Hal Hershfield, um dos mais populares e premiados professores da Universidade da Califórnia (UCLA). Há anos que investiga as consequências a longo prazo das decisões que tomamos. Descobriu que, quanto mais próximos estivermos do nosso futuro eu, melhor iremos decidir. Cerca de 40 por cento das pessoas...
THE GAME-CHANGING APPROACH TO STRATEGY AND PLANNING THAT WILL KEEP YOUR BUSINESS AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION Developed by the military and intelligence agencies, red teaming is a revolutionary way to stress-test strategies, flush out unseen threats and missed opportunities, and execute more successfully in an increasingly uncertain world. Red teaming makes critical and contrarian thinking part of the planning process, forcing companies to take a hard look at their assumptions, examine the ways in which plans could fail, and carefully consider alternative explanations and perspectives. By embracing red teaming, leaders in companies of every size and in every industry will be able to plan better,...
Maddie loves it when her father plays scary games with her, but when he is too busy with work she turns into a "Maddie Scientist" and builds herself a monster dad that she thinks will be more fun.
What if you could rewrite the past? Quinn Black is having the worst day ever . . . over and over again. The same car blocking his driveway, the same horrific accident he witnesses, the same cop that keeps preventing him from saving his boss from dying in it, and the same memory of a girl from his past that gets sharper each time. Then he realizes he has the power to travel through time and change the future. With infinite opportunities to alter the past, the possibilities are endless. Could he prevent terrorist attacks? Natural disasters? The deaths of friends? Or even go back in time and say the right thing to the girl who haunts his dreams? Unfortunately, the rules of time travel are more complicated than he imagined, and before long, Quinn is thrust into the greatest race in human history. His actions can either save the world or destroy it. And now the man who could turn back the clock is running out of time.
