The Little Black Book of Decision Making: Making Complex Decisions with Confidence in a Fast-Moving World
by Michael NicholasThe secret to making the right call in an increasingly complex world The decisions we make every day – frequently automatic and incredibly fast – impact every area of our lives. The Little Black Book of Decision Making delves into the cognition behind decision making, guiding you through the different ways your mind approaches various scenarios. You'll learn to notice that decision making is a matter of balance between your rational side and your intuition – the trick is in honing your intuition to steer you down the right path.

There must be a balance between the two, and the proportions may change with each situation. This book helps you quickly pinpoint the right mix of logic and 'gut feeling,' and use it to find the best possible solution. Balance logic and intuition in your decision making approach Avoid traps set by the mind's inherent bias Understand the cognitive process of decision making Sharpen your professional judgement in any situation Decision making is the primary difference between organisations that lead and those that struggle. The Little Black Book of Decision Making helps you uncover errors in thinking before they become errors in judgement.

The Little Blue Book of Nurses' Wisdom (Little Books)
by Nacole T. RiccaboniNursing is an exceptional profession that will fill your heart and, at the same time, empty your tank. Nurses work countless hours forming community bonds and forming lasting relationships. They impact the ones around them with their attention to detail, caregiving, and unwavering advocacy. Nursing tasks are never singular, one-dimensional objectives but rather diverse, multifaceted check boxes nurses work on and implement to improve their patients' health outcomes. No nurse is the same, no patient is the same. Each nursing shift provides a different experience; adaptation is essential each and every hour. Nurses are chameleons and leaders who go above and beyond, making it all work out and making it the impossible look simplistic. Nursing is a profession that cannot be quantified in one sentence, and nurses aren't individuals who have linear mindsets. Whether you are a nurse, know a nurse, or on your way to being a nurse, The Little Blue Book of Nurses' Wisdom will remind you of just how great nursing is and how much support the nursing profession offers individuals worldwide. Read and reflect on each quote. Allow these words to touch your heart and trigger memories of your present and future self. Nursing isn't merely a profession. It is a mindset. Let your mood be empowered and encouraged by these wonderful messages. &“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.&” —Benjamin Franklin "Love yourself enough to set boundaries. Your time and energy are precious. You get to choose how you use it. You teach people how to treat you by deciding what you will and won&’t accept.&” —Anna Taylor &“Kindness can transform someone&’s dark moment with a blaze of light. You&’ll never know how much your caring matters.&” —Amy Leigh Mercree &“We overestimate the event and underestimate the process. Every fulfilled dream occurred because of dedication.&” —John C. Maxwell &“We hardly ever talk about trauma afterwards, because it helps to live in a world where we can pretend it never happened.&” —Joyce Rachelle "There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed." —Ray Goforth
