2/21/22 at 9am pst - FIXED. How to Perfect the Fine Art of Problem Solving By Amy Herman

Things go wrong all the time. To succeed in the world—personally and professionally—requires critical skills that allow us to find solutions.
Amy Herman, founder of The Art of Perception®, an innovative and proven program, has developed a unique approach to problem solving that uses works of art to revitalize our minds and refine our creative thinking. She’s trained thousands of people around the world in organizations and industries from the military and government to medicine, finance, and education, technology, security, intelligence, and more.
Now for the first time in FIXED. How to Perfect the Fine Art of Problem Solving (Harper Wave; $29.99; ISBN 9780063004849; 352 pgs), Herman shares her successful methodology that refreshes and rejuvenates essential critical thinking skills to help readers resolve problems, difficulties, and challenges. What truly sets this book apart, however, is the author’s extensive use of art—paintings, sculpture, mixed media, and photography—and the artistic process to define a problem-solving framework.

Madeleine Dore, I DIDN’T DO THE THING TODAY: Letting Go of Productivity Guilt

Madeleine Dore, I DIDN'T DO THE THING TODAY: Letting Go of Productivity Guilt
How to release productivity guilt and embrace the hidden values in our daily lives, for anyone who has ever felt the pressure to do more, be more, achieve more, this antidote to our doing-obsession is the permission slip we all need to find our own way.
How to release productivity guilt and embrace the hidden values in our daily lives.
Ever have that kind of day? You know, those days where you add more to your to-do list than you check off; you can’t find your keys or your motivation; and no matter how many bullet journals you buy, you never seem to grasp your full potential.
Writer and Routines & Ruts podcast host Madeleine Dore knows those days all too well. In I DIDN’T DO THE THING TODAY, Dore gives us permission to leave the cult of productivity and embrace the creativity and freedom found in a bulletpoint-free life.
A companion for the days that don’t go as planned, I DIDN’T DO THE THING TODAY offers a reprieve from our productivity obsession, unpacking various ways we encounter productivity guilt—including comparison to others, striving for perfection, and our great expectations—to point to how a day doesn’t have to be optimized, but simply occupied.
Over the past five years, Madeleine has interviewed hundreds of creative people about their daily routines for her popular blog, Extraordinary Routines, and podcast, Routines and Ruts. I DIDN’T DO THE THING TODAY is the culmination of everything Madeleine has learned about how to reframe and at times reject our obsession with output, optimization, and productivity.

Cathy Rath wears many hats: she’s a professor, a social justice advocate and organizer, a writing coach and tutor, and now, a novelist. If there’s one thing that unites her passions, however, it’s an unwavering commitment to social good. Rath is from New York originally but was drawn to the West Coast’s activist environment in the mid-1970s. She attended the University of California Santa Barbara and then San Francisco State University, where she is now a professor in women’s health and community organizing. As a public health activist, her efforts to reduce violence against women earned her the 2000 Millennium Leadership Award by the Marin Independent Journal.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Jeannie Glazer was three years old in 1952 when her father dies in a car accident on a trip to Atlanta. Sixteen years later, as a college freshman, she is arrested during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. She is released hours later when a sergeant announces that her bail was paid by "her pop" and tosses her an envelope of cash. Stunned and suspicious, Jeannie tells no one, convinced someone is watching her. Determined to find answers, her search closes in on a darker secret about her father's tragic death two decades earlier.
