Two leading behavioral scientists argue we should reject nudge policies and stop blaming personal failure for societys failures "Excellent. A master class on how to blend individual psychology with institutions, so that people are encouraged to get involved and develop solutions to our urgent problems via the democratic process." Daron Acemoglu, Nobel Laureate and author of Power and Progress Two decades ago, behavioral economics burst from academia to the halls of power, on both sides of the Atlantic, with the promise that correcting individual biases could help transform society. The hope was that governments could deploy a new approach to addressing societys deepest challenges, from inadequate retirement planning to climate changegently, but cleverly, nudging people to make choices for their own good and the good of the planet. It was all very convenient, and false. As behavioral scientists Nick Chater and George Loewenstein show in Its on You, nudges rarely work, and divert us from policies that do. For example, being nudged to switch to green energy doesnt cut carbon, and it distracts from the real challenge of building a low-carbon economy.Its on You shows how the rich and powerful have repeatedly used a clever sleight of hand: blaming individuals for social problems, with behavioral economics an unwitting accomplice, while lobbying against the systemic changes that could actually help. Rather than trying to fix the victims of bad policies, real progress requires rewriting the social and economic rulebook for the common good.

The gritty memoir of a former US Marine and Presidential Guard, who, after being unjustly held and abused in a Russian gulag for three years and freed in a high-profile prisoner exchange, seeks revenge against his former Russian captors by volunteering to fight in Ukraine.In August 2019, Trevor Reed, a former US Marine and Presidential Guard, was arrested in Russia on false, trumped-up charges. For three years, he was imprisoned in the infamous Russian gulag, where the inhumane treatment threatened his health so severely his parents and the U.S. government feared for his life. After losing roughly fifty pounds from his already trim body, he was released in a 2022 prisoner swap that dominated headlines.Most people would go home, try to move on with their lives, and forget the horrors they endured. But not Trevor Reed.Reed trained relentlessly to regain his health and strength, aiming to volunteer in Ukraine to fight the Russians and seek revenge. Having faced Russian cruelty up close, he knew what the Ukrainians were experiencing, and he knew he could help them. Just six months after being released from prison, Reed smuggled himself into Ukraine. He fought in one of the hottest fronts of the war . . . until one dark night a comrade stepped on a land mine. Reed almost lost his leg and his life, barely making it home to Texas alive.A harrowing, on-the-ground account of the war in Ukraine, Retribution is the story of one mans dogged persistence and commitment to justice, regardless of the personal cost.

In an eye-opening exploration of the most powerful force that drives our species, Kinsey Institute Director Dr. Justin Garcia illuminates the mysteries of how we date, mate and navigate our love lives. "The best book on modern mating. - David M. Buss, author of The Evolution of Desire. Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, and stray from rewarding ones? Is it ever a good idea to open a relationship? How has the digital age impacted courtship? And why do some long-time couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love? In The Intimate Animal, one of the worlds leading experts on the science of love and sex answers these questions and more, taking readers on a journey through the lifecycle of a romantic relationship, from the thrill of first attraction to the devotion that lasts decades. Intimacy is core to the human condition, a key pillar of a loving relationship, and an evolutionary drive. In fact, Dr. Garcia reveals that the need for intimacy even more than sex drive is key to our species survival and flourishing. But therein lies the challenge. We evolved for social monogamy but not for sexual monogamy, yet these impulses are often at odds. Understanding this tension is the key to aligning our romantic choices with our true desires. Whether youre seeking that special someone, recovering from heartbreak, or trying to keep the passion alive, The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide to forging deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times.

An intimate history of LGBTQ+ life over four decades, discovered in a stash of forgotten, handwritten notes.A fantastic journey through an overlooked archive bursting with humanity and real life on every page.DAN SNOWAmong the most vivid social histories Ive read about contemporary queer life in Britain.OISIN MCKENNA, author of Evenings and WeekendsIlluminating.FINANCIAL TIMESTimely and moving.HISTORY TODAYProfound.AnOTHER MAGAZINEIn a crawlspace at the offices of Switchboard, a queer helpline in operation since 1974, lies dozens of log books kept by volunteers describing the phone calls they had taken: a teenager whose parents had kicked them out of home for dressing as the wrong gender; a lesbian terrified of having her baby taken away from her; a man arrested for chatting up another man in a public toilet; a young person wanting to know how to come out.These logs were traces of tens of thousands of queer lives, a bridge to a past hidden from people like Tash Walker and Adam Zmith in their youth, captured by people who lent an ear to those in need. Walker and Zmith came of age in the time of Section 28, a law which banned councils and schools promoting the teaching of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship. In recovering these logs, they encountered people grappling with feelings, questions and problems both familiar and different, and set out to learn from - and sometimes speak to - those on both sides of the calls.Charged with joy, gossip, sensuality, humour and sometimes fear, and with a potent relevancy to the world today, these stories are brought together in The Log Books. Walker and Zmith capture queer lives in stunning detail, embarking on a journey of both collective history and self-discovery and propelling it into the very foreground of our national history.In opening the Switchboard archive, and all the vulnerability and thrill contained within its pages, this book manages to capture something of the essence of what it means to be alive.AMELIA ABRAHAM, author of Queer Intentions

A motivated addict. A hard-working princess. And a hate to love fairytale that breaks all the rules except the most important one.His face has been my screen saver for years. I have more pictures of him in my phone than I have of anyone else, including my fraternal twin sister, Lark. Ive followed this man since the first time I saw him in Forbes magazine. He was clad in his racing suit and his hair was pasted back with sweat. Axl Lennon has been in headlines for almost every rag in the country since I was a teenager. And now hes got eyes for me. Ive been head over heels for this man for so long, yet now that hes practically part of my daily life, there is a wedge between us. But its not him. Its me. And I just cant bring myself to tell him the truth. That would make it real. Too real. And if its real then it can be broken. And nothing in my life has ever been broken. Then I look in the mirror.***They dont believe me but its true. The chicken came before the egg. The egg meaning Liv, the girl I cant keep my mind off of. The chicken being all the other stuff that has been the death of me. My brother believes me, and so does my mother, but the rest of them, I dont know. Livs opinion is the only one that matters right now. Never thought I could say that about one girl. Because, before her, there were dozens. Sometimes more than one a night. The only thing I can do is move on. Do what I love doing. Making billions come secondary to racing and creating. But when my first love clashes with my first real love, things are shattered, broken, and I dont know if I can recover from it this time. Until three words are spoken to me, but are they the right words?
