100 things we've lost to the internet / by Paul, Pamela,author.;
"The acclaimed editor of The New York Times Book Review takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the pre-Internet age, offering powerful insights into both the profound and the seemingly trivial things we've lost. Remember all those ingrained habits, cherished ideas, beloved objects, and stubborn preferences from the pre-Internet age? They're gone. To some of those things we can say good riddance. But many we miss terribly. Whatever our emotional response to this departed realm, we are faced with the fact that nearly every aspect of modern life now takes place in filtered, isolated corners of cyberspace-a space that has slowly subsumed our physical habitats, replacing or transforming the office, our local library, a favorite bar, the movie theater, and the coffee shop where people met one another's gaze from across the room. Even as we've gained the ability to gather without leaving our house, many of the fundamentally human experiences that have sustained us have disappeared. In one hundred glimpses of that pre-Internet world, Pamela Paul, editor of The New York Times Book Review, presents a captivating record, enlivened with illustrations, of the world before cyberspace-from voicemails to blind dates to punctuation to civility. There are the small losses: postcards, the blessings of an adolescence largely spared of documentation, the Rolodex, and the genuine surprises at high school reunions. But there are larger repercussions, too: weaker memories, the inability to entertain oneself, and the utter demolition of privacy. 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is at once an evocative swan song for a disappearing era and, perhaps, a guide to reclaiming just a little bit more of the world IRL"--Introduction -- Boredom -- The period -- The know-it-all -- Getting lost -- Losing your ticket -- The meet-cute -- Bad photos -- Filing -- Ex-boyfriends -- Being late -- Benign neglect -- The designated driver -- The phone call -- Medical forms -- Uninhibitedness -- The school library -- Flea market finds -- High school reunions -- "They forgot my birthday" -- The phone in the kitchen -- The family meal -- Private humiliation -- The bookish boy -- Window shopping -- Solitude -- Productivity -- Letters to the editor -- Losing yourself in a show -- The Rolodex -- Relying on the doctor -- Being first -- Being the only one -- Birthday cards -- A good night's sleep -- Knowing the number -- The paper -- Unpopular opinions -- Solo travel -- paperwork -- Missed calls -- The Spanish-English dictionary -- Patience -- Ignoring people -- Dittos -- Seniority -- Looking out the window -- TV Guide -- Civility -- Receptionists -- Private observances -- Leaving a message -- Toys and games -- Maps -- Empathy -- Handwritten letters -- Old tech -- Being in the moment -- Spelling -- Record albums -- Wondering about the weather -- Bedtime reading -- The emergency breakthrough -- Your attention span -- Sleepaway camp -- RSVPs -- The social studies textbook -- Vacation -- The Filofax -- Eye contact -- Working independently -- Magazines -- Asking politely -- Airplane encounters -- Your checkbook -- Missing out -- Penmanship -- "Excuse me" -- Christmas letters -- Figuring out who that actor is -- Passing notes -- Sick days -- Secrets -- Card catalogs -- The college lecture -- Memory -- Movie theaters -- Losing the instruction manual -- The blind date -- The encyclopedia -- The new kid -- The view -- Scrabble tiles -- Humility -- Cliffsnotes -- A parent's undivided attention -- Touch-typing -- Photo albums -- Blocking things out -- Social cues -- Closure.

Quiet : the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking / by Cain, Susan.;
Includes bibliographical references (p. [277]-323) and index.The north and south of temperament -- The Extrovert Ideal. The rise of the "mighty likeable fellow" : how extroversion became the cultural ideal ; The myth of charismatic leadership: the culture of personality, a hundred years later ; When collaboration kills creativity: the rise of the new Groupthink and the power of working alone -- Your Biology, Your Self? Is temperament destiny? : nature, nurture, and the Orchid Hypothesis ; Beyond temperament: the role of free will (and the secret of public speaking for introverts) ; "Franklin was a politician, but Eleanor spoke out of conscience" : why cool is overrated ; Why did Wall Street crash and Warren Buffett prosper? : how introverts and extroverts think (and process dopamine) differently -- Do All Cultures Have an Extrovert Ideal? Soft power: Asian-Americans and the extrovert ideal -- How to Love, How to Work. When should you act more extroverted than you really are? ; The communication gap: how to talk to members of the opposite type ; On cobblers and generals: how to cultivate quiet kids in a world that can't hear them -- Wonderland -- A note on the words Introvert and Extrovert.This book demonstrates how introverted people are misunderstood and undervalued in modern culture, charting the rise of extrovert ideology while sharing anecdotal examples of how to use introvert talents to adapt to various situations. At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society, from van Gogh's sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer. Filled with indelible stories of real people, this book shows how dramatically we undervalue introverts, and how much we lose in doing so. Taking the reader on a journey from Dale Carnegie's birthplace to Harvard Business School, from a Tony Robbins seminar to an evangelical megachurch, the author charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal in the twentieth century and explores its far-reaching effects. She talks to Asian-American students who feel alienated from the brash, backslapping atmosphere of American schools. She questions the dominant values of American business culture, where forced collaboration can stand in the way of innovation, and where the leadership potential of introverts is often overlooked. And she draws on cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to reveal the differences between extroverts and introverts. She introduces us to successful introverts, from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Finally, she offers advice on everything from how to better negotiate differences in introvert-extrovert relationships to how to empower an introverted child to when it makes sense to be a "pretend extrovert." This book has the ability to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how introverts see themselves.

The wife between us / by Hendricks, Greer.; Pekkanen, Sarah,author.;

You will assume you know the motives, the history, the anatomy of the relationships. Assume nothing.
