The Tipping Point
Malcolm Gladwell
$10.17

"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do."  Gladwell develops these and other concepts through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes.

The Good Marriage: How and Why Love Lasts
Judith Wallerstein
$10.17

Inspired by the hope that the experience of satisfied husbands and wives might provide useful lessons to others, Wallerstein, a clinical psychologist and specialist on divorce, and Sandra Blakeslee, who writes frequently for The New York Times, interviewed 50 predominantly middle-class, northern California couples who had been married nine years or more and had at least one child. These strong marriages flourish, they argue, because every partner confronted a series of psychological tasks including separating emotionally from the family of childhood, carving out his or her autonomy and creating an environment where anger and conflict could be safely vented. The couples reveal their interior lives in rich, explicit detail.

Anthony Wolf
$9.75

This is a survival guide for parents who find themselves marooned among volatile and incomprehensible aliens on Planet Teen.

The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Your Desires: Harnessing the Power of Coincidence
Deepak Chopra
$16.50

The visible, rational world most of us are familiar with is only a small part of life. Beyond that visible world is a sea of possibility that connects us to every other living thing and, thus, to a pool of intelligence that can help us move far beyond anything we could strive for individually in the material world. The paradox is that only surrendering the egoistic self to this broader intelligence gives us the freedom to create our individual destiny.

Blink
Malcolm Gladwell
$15.57

Malcolm Gladwell displays again in this entertaining and illuminating look at how we make snap judgments—about people's intentions, the authenticity of a work of art, even military strategy.  Gladwell's conclusion, after studying how people make instant decisions in a wide range of fields from psychology to police work, is that we can make better instant judgments by training our mind and senses to focus on the most relevant facts—and that less input (as long as it's the right input) is better than more.
