What if you had a Framework to make better decisions at home and at work? And what if you could inspire and empower your children, students, clients, or anyone else you mentor with confidence to make better life decisions in an uncertain world? Written by a father and son, Daniel Friedland, MD and Zach Friedland, The Big Decision is a story about a teen boy who is faced with making a big decision - and about a gift his father gives him to help him make better decisions as he emerges into adulthood. In the first part of the book, Zach shares his story about how Ryan, an up and coming star running back for his middle school football team, is faced with a big decision. When he asks his parents for help, rather than telling him what to do, his father teaches him a framework to make his big decision for himself. In the second half of the book, written as a guide for parents, teachers, counselors, coaches and leaders, Dr. Daniel Friedland, one of the leading experts on how doctors are trained to make medical decisions, shares how you can use this 4-Step Framework to make better life decisions. He also shares the science behind how your brain works and how you can better work your brain to do so. Be inspired and empowered to make your big decisions. Think about with whom you'd want to read and discuss this book. Reading and sharing its lessons may well be one of the best decisions you'll ever make!

It's easy enough to tell ourselves "Don't sweat the small stuff," but let's get real-it's not all "small stuff."Sometimes we have to face tough decisions. Should we move to a different city? Get a divorce? Change religions? Terminate life support? Quit our jobs? Have children? Get Off the Fence! covers all of these life-transforming decisions, and much more. This is not an ivory tower textbook on decision theory-it's a step-by-step handbook for guiding people through the process of making difficult choices. Mother/son authors Rhoda and Jeffrey Makoff bring years of personal and professional experience to the table-they have made hundreds of "big decisions"in their successful careers and counseled thousands of people through difficult choices. The Makoffs present ten steps to effective decision-making, but they also recognize another essential component-the role of emotional issues in making the best decision possible. This crucial eleventh step is where the "gut," "heart" or intuition comes in. Get Off the Fence! also includes fascinating stories about people who have made major life decisions. Get Off the Fence! will help people take control of complex situations instead of feeling helpless and paralyzed by indecision. It will prevent them from making poor decisions that create a lifetime of regrets and self-recrimination.

For the first time, an award-winning Harvard professor shares his wildly popular course on classical Chinese philosophy, showing you how ancient ideas—like the fallacy of the authentic self—can guide you on the path to a good life today. Why is a course on ancient Chinese philosophers one of the most popular at Harvard? Because it challenges all our modern assumptions about what it takes to flourish. Astonishing teachings emerged two thousand years ago through the work of a succession of Chinese scholars exploring how humans can improve themselves and their society. And what are these counterintuitive ideas? Transformation comes not from looking within for a true self, but from creating conditions that produce new possibilities. Good relationships come not from being sincere and authentic, but from the rituals we perform within them. A good life emerges not from planning it out, but through training ourselves to respond well to small moments. Influence comes not from wielding power but from holding back. Excellence comes from what we choose to do, not our natural abilities. In other words, The Path “opens the mind” (Huffington Post) and upends everything we are told about how to lead a good life. Its most radical idea is that there is no path to follow in the first place—just a journey we create anew at every moment by seeing and doing things differently. “With its…spirited, convincing vision, revolutionary new insights can be gleaned from this book on how to approach life’s multifarious situations with both heart and head” (Kirkus Reviews). A note from the publisher: To read relevant passages from the original works of Chinese philosophy, see our ebook Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi: Selected Passages, available wherever books are sold.
