Top Dog The New York Times bestselling authors of NurtureShock return with a groundbreaking new book on the science of competition. TOP DOG reveals the hidden factors behind every sort of win and loss—from bringing home Gold in Olympic to bombing the SAT. Exploring the psychology of rankings, the neuroscience of mistakes, and the DNA of fearlessness, TOP DOG is lled with cutting-edge science told through stories of pilot ight training, NASCAR brawls, political try-outs, ballroom dancing, CIA spies, Wall Street, and so much more.

Nurture Shock One of the most inuential books about children ever published, Nurture Shock o ers a revolutionary new perspective on children that upends a library's worth of conventional wisdom. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, the authors demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backring--because key twists in the science have been overlooked. Nothing like a parenting manual, NurtureShock gets to the core of how we grow, learn and live.
