بأسلوب شيق، يقدم هذا الكتاب سيرة شديدة التفصيل و الإسهاب لحياة الجنرال الأمريكي الأشهر لدينا في العالم العربي (تومي فرانكس)، و ذلك لكونه القائد العام للقوات الأمريكية الذي دمر العراق، و أسقط بغداد عام 2003 و على الرغم من أن هذا الكتاب يبدأ من فصله الأول البداية الطبيعية باللحظة الأولى لتفتح وعي تومي فرانكس على معاني الصواب و الخطأ و الخير و الشر منذ كان في الخامسة من عمره برفقة والده و هو يشق بعض ألواح الخشب في الحديقة.
إلا أنه يسبق كل ذلك بمقدمة تجسد اللحظة الأهم في حياة و خدمة فرانكس : إنها لحظة الاجتماع الأخير السابق مباشرة لبدء عمليات الهجوم، و الذي عقده و بقية قادة القوات من جانب، عبر الشاشة، مع جورج دبليو بوش و نائبه و وزير خارجيته و بقية أعضاء مجلس الأمن القومي، و قدموا فيه تقاريرهم النهائية عن استعدادات القوات، و أجابوا عن تساؤلات الرئيس، و تلقوا آخر توجيهاته، و أوامره ببدء العمليات.
و ما بين هاتين اللحظتين هناك الكثير مما يستحق أن نقرأه و نعرفه عن الرجل، و عن الجيش الأمريكي، و عن حرب الخليج.
حياة الانسان دائما ما تمر بانعطافات مهمة يبحث فيها عن التغيير الصعب لا السهل متلمسا خطوات راسخة يسير عليها في درب شائك تحيطه الاشواك على جانبيه.

You Are a Badass at Making Money will launch you past the fears and stumbling blocks that have kept financial success beyond your reach. Drawing on her own transformation—over just a few years—from a woman living in a converted garage with tumbleweeds blowing through her bank account to a woman who travels the world in style, Jen Sincero channels the inimitable sass and practicality that made You Are a Badass an indomitable bestseller. She combines hilarious personal essays with bite-size, aha concepts that unlock earning potential and get real results.
Learn to:
• Uncover what’s holding you back from making money
• Give your doubts, fears, and excuses the heave-ho
• Relate to money in a new (and lucrative) way
• Shake up the cocktail of creation
• Tap into your natural ability to grow rich
• Shape your reality—stop playing victim to circumstance
• Get as wealthy as you wanna be
“This book truly crystallizes the concept that financial abundance is an inside job—in that it all begins with your mindset—and Sincero gets serious (in the funniest ways possible) about helping you identify your particular limiting beliefs surrounding money.” —PopSugar
Despite the best of intentions, humans are notoriously bad—that is, irrational—when it comes to making decisions and assessing risks and tradeoffs. Psychologists and neuroscientists refer to these distinctly human foibles, biases, and thinking traps as “cognitive errors.” Cognitive errors are systematic deviances from rationality, from optimized, logical, rational thinking and behavior. We make these errors all the time, in all sorts of situations, for problems big and small: whether to choose the apple or the cupcake; whether to keep retirement funds in the stock market when the Dow tanks, or whether to take the advice of a friend over a stranger.
The “behavioral turn” in neuroscience and economics in the past twenty years has increased our understanding of how we think and how we make decisions. It shows how systematic errors mar our thinking and under which conditions our thought processes work best and worst. Evolutionary psychology delivers convincing theories about why our thinking is, in fact, marred. The neurosciences can pinpoint with increasing precision what exactly happens when we think clearly and when we don’t.
Drawing on this wide body of research, The Art of Thinking Clearly is an entertaining presentation of these known systematic thinking errors–offering guidance and insight into everything why you shouldn’t accept a free drink to why you SHOULD walk out of a movie you don’t like it to why it’s so hard to predict the future to why shouldn’t watch the news. The book is organized into 100 short chapters, each covering a single cognitive error, bias, or heuristic. Examples of these concepts include: Reciprocity, Confirmation Bias, The It-Gets-Better-Before-It-Gets-Worse Trap, and the Man-With-A-Hammer Tendency. In engaging prose and with real-world examples and anecdotes, The Art of Thinking Clearly helps solve the puzzle of human reasoning.
Collects twenty stories chronicling the adventures of such heroes as Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Hulk as they fight against supervillains, including Ultron, Thanos, and the Masters of Evil.
