A clear and practical review of the 50 most common thinking challenges everyone faces from day to day, accompanied by a full guide to the most accessible and practical solutions.Many people find themselves facing difficult work situations, day after day - often as a result of existing patterns of behaviour, or at the mercy of negative thoughts. But such cycles can be broken, allowing people to approach problems and challenges in a more robust and sustainable way. Smart Thinking will focus on common thinking challenges we all face from time to time, while also offering an array of practical solutions. This 'problem-to-solution' format is different from many books that start with a theory and then try to show how you can use the theory; Smart Thinking explains the problems and highlights the best options to resolve them, while encouraging you to look differently at the circumstances around you and to develop new, and permanent, ways of tackling any challenges.From thinking smarter to get the best out of others, to thinking more creatively about financial problems (even without maths skills), Jo Owen tackles 50 of the most common 'thinking' challenges that can derail any of our best-laid plans and intentions. With the lessons provided by Smart Thinking, you will be able to be more decisive in the face of uncertainty, make better decisions for you and your colleagues, and be more focused and clear-minded when tackling any of the unexpected problems that our busy work lives can throw at us.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA fast-paced account of America's plunge into simultaneous cold wars against two very different adversaries - Xi Jinping's China and Valdimir Putin's Russia.New Cold Wars - the latest from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author of The Perfect Weapon David E. Sanger - tells the riveting story of America at a crossroads.

Will China strike back at the US chip embargo, or seize Taiwan, the world's semiconductor capital?Taking readers from the battlefields of Ukraine - where trench warfare and cyberwarfare are fought side by side - to the back rooms and boardrooms where diplomats, spies, and tech executives jockey for geopolitical advantage, New Cold Wars is an astonishing first-draft history chronicling America's return to superpower conflict, the choices that lie ahead, and what is at stake for the United States and the world.
