Pretty Sensation!


Book Description

Love, Ambition, and Second Chances? Casey Singer is back and more determined than ever. No longer the wild child who once traded love for the limelight, a decision that cost her more than a broken heart. She emerges from the spotlight, time-tested and even hungrier for the perks of fame—until she learns that the one that got away is about to be married to a nobody. This news sets Casey off on a quest to clear the decks and to push the limits in order to redeem her stagnating career as the well-oiled talk show juggernaut, heads into its seventh award-winning year, and she suddenly finds herself without an agent. With her biggest fear coming to light – losing her edge and fading from view, Casey once again proves that old habits die hard and goes on a bender that lands her squarely in a hotel room in Vegas with a hangover and wearing a wedding ring. But nobody is better than Casey at turning mishaps into opportunities. She does not know the meaning of giving up. In fact, she is simply getting started. Pretty Sensation! is the first book in the Show Series, the continuation of Jamie Collins’ women’s fiction wild ride! Explore the compelling themes of love, ambition, and the pursuit of second chances. Casey Singer’s journey will captivate your heart as she navigates fame, romance, and the quest for her rightful place in the spotlight. If you like off-the-hook heroines, searches for identity, and global adventures, this is the book for you!

Sensation


Book Description

Like the revolutionary bestsellers Predictably Irrational and Emotional Intelligence, Sensation is an exciting, completely new view of human behavior—a new psychology of physical intelligence (or embodied cognition)—that explains how the body unconsciously affects our everyday decisions and choices, written by one of the world’s leading psychologists. From colors and temperatures to heavy objects and tall people, a whole symphony of external stimuli exerts a constant influence on the way your mind works. Yet these effects have been hidden from you—until now. Drawing on her own work as well as from research across the globe, Dr. Thalma Lobel reveals how shockingly susceptible we are to sensory input from the world around us. An aggressive negotiator can be completely disarmed by holding a warm cup of tea or sitting in a soft chair. Clean smells promote moral behavior, but people are more likely to cheat on a test right after having taken a shower. Red-colored type causes us to fail exams, but red dresses make women sexier and teams wearing red jerseys win more games. We take questionnaires attached to heavy clipboards more seriously and believe people who like sweets to be nicer. Ultimately, the book’s message is startling: Though we claim ownership of our decisions, judgments, and values, they derive as much from our outside environment as from inside our minds. Now, Sensation empowers you to evaluate those outside forces in order to make better decisions in every facet of your personal and professional lives.
