Sidetracked : why our decisions get derailed, and how we can stick to the plan / Francesca Gino. (4/17/2013)

View title at
Amazon.com

Review

“If you have always yearned to feel more secure in your decision-making, or at the very least, understand better why even your best-laid plans often go awry, Sidetracked is a straight-forward examination of the forces that affect our decisions which can help raise your awareness and keep you from veering off course.” — 800 CEO READ

“… an excellent book.” — Biz India (bizindia.net)

ADVANCE PRAISE for Sidetracked:

Dan Ariely, Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics, Duke University; author of the New York Times bestsellers Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The Honest Truth about Dishonesty—
We are often unaware of the many forces that affect our decisions—sometimes with devastating consequences. In Sidetracked, Francesca Gino identifies and illuminates many of these forces to help us all make decisions that we, our mothers, and our kids will be happier with.

Chip Heath, Professor of Organizational Behavior, Stanford Graduate School of Business; co-author, Made to Stick and Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard—
Francesca Gino is one of the smartest and most insightful decision researchers in the field. Her clever research informs every page of this book and it will change the way you think about decision making.

Robert I. Sutton, Professor of Management Science and Engineering, Stanford Engineering School; author, Good Boss, Bad Boss and The No Asshole Rule—
Sidetracked is a scary, remarkably useful, and delightful romp. Scary because it shows how our imperfect brains can mess-up our decisions and our lives. Remarkably useful because it shows us how to thrive and triumph despite these imperfections. Delightful because Francesca Gino’s wisdom, quirky charm, and world-class smarts enrich every page.

John Engates, Chief Technology Officer, Rackspace—
Sidetracked is an indispensable guide for those interested in gaining insight into how we make decisions and the invisible forces that affect the process. Could our brains really be this susceptible to outside influence? The book reveals the truth—through example after example of carefully structured research—of just how easily influenced we are and concrete strategies for how to stay on track.

Daniel H. Pink, author, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us and A Whole New Mind—
Why do so many of our decisions go awry? Francesca Gino says the answer might be staring at us in the mirror. In Sidetracked, she reveals the many forces that distract our attention, distort our reasoning, and ultimately lead us astray. Reading this rich mix of experimental evidence and lively stories will help you rethink—and improve—how you make decisions in your life.

Susan Cain, author, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking—
This engaging, beautifully written, and thought-provoking book is a must read for anyone who wants a deep understanding of how decisions get so easily derailed, and advice on how to stick to well-thought out plans. A truly entertaining journey that will keep you turning pages through the very end.

Rediscovering the umma : Muslims in the Balkans between nationalism and transnationalism / Ina Merdjanova. (4/10/2013)

4/10/2013

View title at
Amazon.com

Review

"This clear and innovative work offers an important view from the Balkans on European Islam. Ina Merdjanova traces changes and continuities from the Ottoman period to the present, and pulls off the difficult feat of both showcasing Balkan specifics and examining important differences in religion and politics across distinct communities. Required reading for anyone interested in comparative Islamic studies."--John R. Bowen, Dunbar-Van Cleve Professor in Arts & Sciences, Washington University in St. Louis

"Muslims in contemporary Europe are generally assumed to be recent immigrants from Turkey, South Asia, or North Africa, but Merdjanova's excellent book challenges this stereotype by investigating European Muslim communities that have lived on the continent for centuries. This nuanced examination of the varieties of Muslim belief and practice in Southeastern Europe is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the complicated history and heterogeneity of European Islam."--Kristen Ghodsee, author of Muslim Lives in Eastern Europe: Gender, Ethnicity, and the Transformation of Islam in Postsocialist Bulgaria

"Based on an extensive original research and a critical engagement with the existing scholarship, Ina Merdjanova's study presents a rich and diverse map of Islam in the Balkans and analyzes different factors and players involved in its shaping. Rediscovering the Umma will compel a more nuanced debate about the presence of Islam in Europe, which is sorely lacking in contemporary discourse on European religious and cultural identities. It will also serve as a useful textbook for anyone interested in this region's religious mosaic."--Amila Buturovic, Religious Studies and Humanities, York University, Toronto

"Rediscovering the Umma wonderfully captures the development of Muslim Balkan identities at the intersection of national and transnational forces. To be Albanian or Bosnian or indeed European, at the same time as Muslim, poses a challenge to communities, not least to women within them, who are seeking to integrate religious practices with evolving economic, cultural, and political circumstances. Ina Merdjanova provides a comprehensive and timely guide to the reclaiming of Muslim faith and practice in both the post-Communist societies of Southeast Europe and beyond."--James Piscatori, Durham University

Review

"Christopher Z. Hobson's intricate, scholarly The Mount of Vision has taught me more about African-American prophecy than anything else I've ever read. Those who hope to replenish the tradition and apply it to contemporary life will find here a treasury of material and blessedly clear thinking."--Todd Gitlin, Professor of Journalism and Sociology, Columbia University

"The Mount of Vision is a meticulously-researched and compellingly-argued book. Hobson nuances our understanding of prophecy and challenges traditional interpretations of African American prophetic speech. His four modes of prophecy constitute a stunningly original contribution to the field. And his prophetic fire shines through every page."--Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., William S. Tod Professor of Religion and African American Studies, Princeton University

"The prophetic tradition in African American expression is one of the most vital and powerful forces in American history and literature. We now have The Mount of Vision to help us think and feel more deeply about how black men and women invoked biblical conceptions of God's justice not only to carve a space for themselves in the United States, but also to call the nation to task for its various wrongs. Anyone interested in race and religion should read Christopher Z. Hobson's book."--Edward J. Blum, co-author of The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America
