Why is the Mona Lisa the most famous painting in the world? Why did Facebook succeed when other social networking sites failed? Did the surge in Iraq really lead to less violence? And does higher pay incentivize people to work harder? If you think the answers to these questions are a matter of common sense, think again. As sociologist and network science pioneer Duncan Watts explains in this provocative book, the explanations that we give for the outcomes that we observe in life-explanations that seem obvious once we know the answer-are less useful than they seem. Watts shows how commonsense reasoning and history conspire to mislead us into thinking that we understand more about the world of human behavior than we do; and in turn, why attempts to predict, manage, or manipulate social and economic systems so often go awry. Only by understanding how and when common sense fails can we improve how we plan for the future, as well as understand the present-an argument that has important implications in politics, business, marketing, and even everyday life.

A provocative look at social media that dispels the hype and tells you all you need to know about using the Web to expand your business If you listen to the pundits, Internet gurus, marketing consultants, and even the mainstream media, you could think social media was the second coming. When it comes to business, they declare that it's revolutionizing advertising, PR, customer relations—everything. And they all agree: it is here to stay. In this lively, insightful guide, journalist and social critic B.J. Mendelson skillfully debunks the myths of social media. He illustrates how the notion of "social media" first came to prominence, why it has become such a powerful presence in the marketing field, and who stands to benefit each time it's touted in the press. He shows you why all the Facebook friends and Twitter followers in the world mean nothing to you and your business without old-fashioned, real-world connections. He examines popular tales of social media "success," and reveals some unsettling truths behind the surface. And he tells you how to best harness the potential of the Internet—without spending a fortune in the process. Social media is bullshit. This book gives the knowledge and tools you really need to connect with customers and grow your brand.

An acclaimed philosopher shows us how—in an age of unprecedented anxiety—we can find fulfillment by embracing the present and living more fully in the now. He is "the perfect guide for a course correction in life" (from the Introduction by Deepak Chopra). The brain can only assume its proper behavior when consciousness is doing what it is designed for: not writhing and whirling to get out of present experience, but being effortlessly aware of it. Alan Watts draws on the wisdom of Eastern philosophy and religion in this timeless and classic guide to living a more fulfilling life. His central insight is more relevant now than ever: when we spend all of our time worrying about the future and lamenting the past, we are unable to enjoy the present moment—the only one we are actually able to inhabit. Watts offers the liberating message that true certitude and security come only from understanding that impermanence and insecurity are the essence of our existence. He highlights the futility of endlessly chasing moving goalposts, whether they consist of financial success, stability, or escape from pain, and shows that it is only by acknowledging what we do not know that we can learn anything truly worth knowing. In The Wisdom of Insecurity, Watts explains complex concepts in beautifully simple terms, making this the kind of book you can return to again and again for comfort and insight in challenging times. “Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the unwritable.’” —Los Angeles Times

This is a True Crime Case OPINION Book - key word OPINION - ON A HIGH-PROFILE TRUE CRIME CASE WHICH ENTERED ONTO THE PUBLIC STAGE ON AUGUST 13, 2018. Like most books written in the TRUE CRIME genre - this true crime case opinion book includes opinions and theories on sensitive subject matters including but not limited to abuse, violence, and mental illness. Therefore, if you or a loved one has been a victim of violent crime, domestic violence, or child abuse please DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. If you choose to ignore this trigger warning and you experience any signs or symptoms of mental or emotional disturbance, please seek professional help immediately. DRASTIC MEASURES ~ THE CASE OF CHRISTOPHER WATTS is written to share opinions I have formed after extensive research of this case over the last three years, including speaking directly with Christopher Watts' mother - Cindy Watts - multiple times following the tragedy which occurred on August 13, 2018 at the Watts' family home in Frederick, Colorado. While I am supportive of Cindy Watts - and her right to speak - this book is not written at her direction or on her behalf. However, this book is written with EXPRESS PERMISSION from Cindy Watts, who has directly stated her blessings for any book I write - or audiobook/video that I create. This true crime case opinion book is written to explore my OPINIONS on the case itself, primarily to include my thoughts specific to Cindy's relationship with her daughter-in-law Shanann (pronounced "shan-uhn" - Shannon - by her birth family), and the dynamics of her daughter-in-law's relationships with Cindy's son and their two children. I will also explore my opinion on whether it is reasonable to believe that Christopher Watts may have been telling the truth when he insisted that he did not murder his children, Bella and Ce Ce Watts. And I will include my opinion on whether the threshold of the legal standard "BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT" would have been crossed by the prosecution had this case proceeded to trial. Over the last three years, since the public was initially told that poor little Bella and Ce Ce were murdered in what should have been the safety of their own home, there has been a narrative promoted on this case portraying Christopher Watts as nothing but an evil monster, while his wife always was and will forever be a saint. People who openly question the narrative in the comment sections on social media are oftentimes harassed, threatened, and intimidated right along with those of us who have been targeted for abuse and harassment from the start, before many of us had ever even heard of this case. The attackers are an organized group of ruthless criminals, in my opinion, who are using multiple fake profiles, and who openly boast they will not stop harassing us, and our families, and our employers, etc. until they succeed in "DESTROYING" our lives. Clearly, their goal is to frighten all of us into silence, including Christopher Watts' mother, Cindy Watts. In my opinion, Christopher Watts is not evil - nor is his mother, who has been unfairly maligned and targeted for abuse and harassment since the day her son's case first hit the headline news. Also, in my opinion, contrary to the narrative being pushed by the attackers, Cindy Watts' daughter-in-law was probably not a saint. Maybe that's my opinion because I know the rest of the story. And, in my opinion, THE REST OF THE STORY deserves to be told. ~

Western literature has had a long tradition of physician-writers. From Mikhail Bulgakov to William Carlos Williams to Richard Selzer to Ethan Canin, exposure to human beings at their most vulnerable has inspired fine writing. In his own inimitable and unpretentious style, David Watts is also a master storyteller. Whether recounting the decline and death of a dear friend or poking holes in the faulty logic of an insurance company underling, The Orange Wire Problem lays bare the nobility and weakness, generosity and churlishness of human nature. With disarming candor and the audacity to admit that practicing medicine can be a crazy thing, Watts fills each page with riveting details, moving accounts, or belly-laughs. As the stories in this work unfold, we are witness to the moral dilemmas and personal rewards of ministering to the sick. Whether the subject is the potential benefits of therapeutic deception or telling a child about death, Watts’s ear for the right word, the right tone, and the right detail never fails him. From The Orange Wire Problem and Other Tales from the Doctor’s Office: We were lingering in the outer office. He mentioned again, no biopsy. I knew that. And I knew there would be no chemotherapy. Maybe it's like that Orange Wire Problem, I said. Yes exactly, he said, and four years from now when we're all sitting around the campfire we'll remember the Orange Wire Problem. . . And I thought to myself, my brother did that. Spoke of the time ahead as he was dying of lung cancer. Six months from now he had said, we'll be glad we did all those drug therapies—as if to speak of the future laid claim to the future.

Mexico is a country in crisis. Capitalizing on weakened public institutions, widespread unemployment, a state of lawlessness and the strengthening of links between Mexican and Colombian drug cartels, narcotrafficking in the country has flourished during the post-1982 neoliberal era. In fact, it has become one of Mexico's biggest source of revenue, as well as its most violent, with over 12,000 drug-related executions in 2011 alone. In response, Mexican president Felipe Calderón, armed with millions of dollars in US military aid, has launched a crackdown, ostensibly to combat organised crime. Despite this, human rights violations have increased, as has the murder rate, making Ciudad Juárez on the northern border the most dangerous city on the planet. Meanwhile, the supply of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine has continued to grow. In this insightful and controversial book, Watt and Zepeda throw new light on the situation, contending that the 'war on drugs' in Mexico is in fact the pretext for a US-backed strategy to bolster unpopular neoliberal policies, a weak yet authoritarian government and a radically unfair status quo.
