Owner of the most
remarkable mind on the
planet, (according to
the US's Entertainment
Weekly) Daniel Tammet
captivated readers and
won worldwide critical
acclaim with the 2006
Sunday Times bestselling
memoir, Born On A Blue
Day, and its vivid
depiction of a life with
autistic savant syndrome.
In his fascinating new
book, he writes with
characteristic clarity
and personal awareness as
he sheds light on the
mysteries of savants'
incredible mental
abilities, and our own.
Tammet explains that the
differences between
savant and non-savant
minds have been
exaggerated; his
astonishing capacities in
memory, math and
language are neither due
to a cerebral
supercomputer nor any
genetic quirk, but are
rather the results of a
highly rich and complex
associative form of
thinking and imagination.
Autistic thought, he
argues, is an extreme
variation of a kind that
we all do, from
daydreaming to the use of
puns and metaphors.
Embracing the Wide Sky
combines meticulous
scientific research with
Tammet's detailed
descriptions of how his
mind works to demonstrate
the immense potential
within us all. He
explains how our natural
intuitions can help us to
learn a foreign language,
why his memories are
like symphonies, and
what numbers and giraffes
have in common. We also
discover why there is
more to intelligence than
IQ, how optical
illusions fool our
brains, and why too much
information can make you
dumb. Many readers will
be particularly intrigued
by Tammet's original
ideas concerning the
genesis of genius and
exceptional creativity.
He illustrates his
arguments with examples
as diverse as the private
languages of twins, the
compositions of poets
with autism, and the
breakthroughs, and
breakdowns, of some of
history's greatest minds.
Embracing the Wide Sky is
a unique and brilliantly
imaginative portrait of
how we think, learn,
remember and create,
brimming with personal
insights and anecdotes,
and explanations of the
most up-to-date,
mind-bending discoveries
from fields ranging from
neuroscience to
psychology and
linguistics. This is a
profound and provocative
book that will transform
our understanding and
respect for every kind of
mind. The size of this
book is 22.4cm in height

In any conflict, the
First Alternative is my
way, and the Second
Alternative is your way.
The fight always boils
down to a question of
whose way is better. This
book presents a new and
practical, but
incredibly effective and
eye-opening, way to
reach resolution through
using the 'Third
Alternative'. The Third
Alternative moves beyond
your way or my way to a
higher and better way -
one that allows both
parties to emerge from
debate or even heated
conflict in a far better
place than either had
envisioned. With the
Third Alternative,
nobody has to give up
anything, and everyone
wins. To a world of
escalating strife and
contention, Third
Alternative thinkers like
those Covey profiles in
this innovative and
practical book, bring
creative solutions,
peace and healing.
Through key examples and
stories from his work as
a consultant, Covey will
demonstrate that Third
Alternative thinking is
the supreme opportunity
of our times. Readers
will learn how to create
new and better results
instead of escalating
conflict, as well as how
to build strong
relationships with
diverse individuals based
on an attitude of winning
together. The Third
Alternative represents a
departure from material
on conflict resolution,
negotiation and
mediation; the book
represents a new way of
thinking that will be
embraced not only by the
many fans that have
flocked to Covey's prior
books, but also by
anyone who is seeking
resolution in their
professional or personal
lives.

In Born Liars, Ian
Leslie takes the reader
on an exhilarating tour
of ideas that brings the
latest news about
deception back from the
frontiers of psychology,
neuroscience, and
philosophy, and explores
the role played by lies -
both black and white - in
our childhoods, our
careers, and our health,
as well as in
advertising, politics,
sport and war. Drawing on
thinkers as varied as
Augustine, Charles
Darwin, Sigmund Freud
and Joni Mitchell, the
author argues that, far
from being a bug in the
human software, lying is
central to who we are;
that we cannot understand
ourselves without first
understanding the
dynamics of deceit. After
reading Born Liars you'll
never think about lies -
or life - in quite the
same way again. This book
has 497 pages and is 19.6
