Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away with Annie Duke
Business leaders, with millions of dollars down the drain, struggle to abandon a new app or product that just isn’t working. Governments, caught in a hopeless conflict, believe that the next tactic will finally be the one that wins the war.

But in a fast-changing world, what if the really crucial skill is knowing wh...

Gay, Straight, and the Reason Why with Simon LeVay
Since our guest has written today’s book, recent studies strengthen the idea that gay people differ from straight people in more than the direction of their sexual feelings. There is great diversity among lesbians and gay men, to be sure, but in general, homosexuality is part of a collection of gender-atypical traits, just as heterosexuality is part of a collection of gender-typical traits. These different “packages” arise because the sexual differentiation of the brain goes forward differently ...
