Why do smart and experienced leaders make flawed, even catastrophic, decisions? Why do people keep believing they have made the right choice, even with the disastrous result staring them in the face? And how can you be sure you're making the right decision--without the benefit of hindsight? Sydney Finkelstein, Jo Whitehead, and Andrew Campbell show how the usually beneficial processes of the human mind can become traps when we face big decisions. The authors show how the shortcuts our brains have learned to take over millennia of evolution can derail our decision making. Think Again offers a powerful model for making better decisions, describing the key red flags to watch for and detailing the decision-making safeguards we need. Using examples from business, politics, and history, Think Again deconstructs bad decisions, as they unfolded in real time, to show how you can avoid the same fate.

In the course of their 20+-year engineering careers, authors Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman have picked up a treasure trove of wisdom and anecdotes about how successful teams work together. Their conclusion? Even among people who have spent decades learning the technical side of their jobs, most haven’t really focused on the human component. Learning to collaborate is just as important to success. If you invest in the "soft skills" of your job, you can have a much greater impact for the same amount of effort. The authors share their insights on how to lead a team effectively, navigate an organization, and build a healthy relationship with the users of your software. This is valuable information from two respected software engineers whose popular series of talks—including "Working with Poisonous People"—has attracted hundreds of thousands of followers.

A cocky baseball player falls for, the curvy girl who knows how to put him in his place, and the off-limits billionaire who owns his team. Laughter follows in this second chance romance where pretend dating leads to secret relationships and a whole lot more. Lexi As a curvy American girl spending her senior year in Japan, the last thing Lexi expected was to find a guy. So, when Forrest Wolf, the drop-dead gorgeous American star of Japan’s baseball league, crossed the bar to meet her, you can excuse her skepticism. The man was used to thousands of people chanting his name every night. No, she immediately shut him cocky ass down… his incredibly tight, cocky ass… how long had it been since she had had sex, again? Why is it that after a girl gives in to a guy, and they have the most incredibly night of their lives, the guy could beg the girl for her number and then still not call? In Forrest’s case, it may have to do with him being traded to an American team days after they met? Maybe. So, when Lexi returns home and gets a dream job offer dependent on getting an interview with him, what is she to do? Could this be a second chance at love? Or will that get ruined when, after again staring at his cocky ass, things “get complicated” in a restaurant bathroom… and everyone hears them… and posts it on social media? Yikes! Forrest Wolf Forrest was the biggest thing in baseball… during college. In the majors, he partied his way into being a bust. But then he went to Japan, cleaned up his ways and became a star. So, why is it that when he is then made the face of Portland’s new team, he again crashes and burns? It’s because Forrest has a huge secret. His name is Bradley Morrow and he is the sexy billionaire owner of Forrest’s new team. Before Forrest knew who he was, the two hooked up. Now Forrest can’t get his off-limits boss out of his mind. Was that what went wrong between Forrest and Lexi? Maybe. Could he explain that to Lexi, who has amazingly reappeared in his life? And, would Lexi mind pretending to be his girlfriend to convince his boss that their night together meant nothing to him? Forrest has never fallen in love with a guy before. And, as sexy and charming as Bradley is, Forrest needs to keep a tight grip on his heart. Bradley Morrow Ley believes that the fastest way to make a billion dollars is to find someone with a great mind. And, the fastest way to lose a billion dollars is to find someone with a great body. Not only does his star player have the best body he has ever seen, but so does his sexy girlfriend Lexi… that is if she really is his girlfriend. Whatever is going on between those two, Ley knows that they are both off-limits. He’s Forrest’s boss, after all. Could the three of them even attempt a secret relationship with the whole world watching? On the other hand, what’s the use of having all of the money in the world if you don’t have love? ‘Her Best Bad Decision’ is a very steamy, very funny, ultra-high heat standalone bisexual menage romance with explicit MF, MM, MFM and MMF scenes. Contains a not-to-be-missed HEA ending!
