The Art of Winning: Lessons from a Life in Football

"Brought to you by Penguin Winning isn’t a science. It’s an art. And it can be learned. No one embodies winning more than Bill Belichick, the greatest American football coach of all time. Over the past fifty years, Belichick has been a man of notoriously few words, believing that a coach should keep a low profile. After he left the Patriots in 2024, he briefly became a coach without a team. He spent that year writing down the principles he learned from his father, Navy football, and from his forty-nine-year coaching career. Belichick’s philosophy goes far beyond football. He presents a whole-year, whole-life, whole-mindset approach to greatness that encompasses preparation, motivation, confidence, and leadership. The principles in this book are adaptable to wherever you work. No matter where you are on the ladder, they will help you think like a leader in anticipation of being one. Drawing on decades of studying the greats of the game, handling colorful personalities and egos, and playing for the highest stakes in sports, Belichick shares memorable examples and practical takeaways from his lived experience. Winning is not about being perfect—it’s about growth. And you will improve only as much as you recognize where you’re weak. Belichick owns up to mistakes like deciding to go for it on 4th and 10 in the 2008 Super Bowl. Then he breaks down how to learn from your mistakes like a leader does—an approach that sustained him throughout his early-career challenges and ultimately brought him to the top of the sport. Belichick’s principles might surprise you at times. At other times, they might seem strangely obvious. (His rule for how to win football games? Score the most points.) Football is about strategy, human nature, and business. Your vision of success might involve breaking into a new, competitive market in your industry; seeing solid returns on a portfolio that you’ve carefully prepared; inspiring your students to earn the highest scores in the district; or raising up trainees to take over your job someday. Whatever the situation, your performance is up to you. Practical, authoritative, and bursting with unforgettable inside stories, The Art of Winning is an indispensable guide to success from the greatest coach in NFL history. ‘Coach Belichick brought out the best in me. His book will do the same for you.’—Tom Brady ‘This book shares the valuable lessons about excellence and leadership that Coach Belichick has learned.’ —Michael Jordan ‘Powerful, insightful, and remarkably personal, The Art of Winning is a playbook for life.’ —Admiral William H. McRaven, US Navy (Retired) ‘A remarkable deep dive into the mind of a champion.’ —Nick Saban ©2025 Bill Belichick (P)2025 Penguin Audio"

The Dolphin Parent: A Guide to Raising Healthy, Happy, and Self-Motivated Kids

"In The Dolphin Parent, Harvard-trained psychiatrist, expert in human motivation, and mother of three Dr. Shimi Kang provides a guide to the art and science of inspiring children to develop their own internal drive and lifelong personal aspirations. Drawing on the latest neuroscience and behavioral research, Dr. Kang transcends cultural limits and shows why authoritarian "tiger parents" and permissive "jellyfish parents" actually hinder self-motivation. She proposes a powerful new and universal parenting model: the intelligent, strong, joyful, and highly social dolphin. Dolphin parents focus on maintaining balance in their children's lives to compassionately, yet authoritatively guide them toward the key 21st century skills of "CQ"-creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. Combining irrefutable science with unforgettable real-life stories from around the world, The Dolphin Parent walks readers through Dr. Kang's four-part method for cultivating self-motivation. As the fifth child of immigrant parents who struggled to give their children the "best" in life-Dr. Kang's mother could not read and she was never enrolled in a single extra-curricular activity-she argues that by trusting our deepest natural intuition about what is best for our kids, we will allow them to develop key traits of adaptability, community-mindedness, and CQ to empower them to thrive in our increasingly competitive and complex world."

"Whether you've suffered a single traumatic experience or faced repeated difficult life events, you can be left feeling hypervigilant, irritable, and disconnected.

Naturally Selective: Evolution, Orgasm, and Female Choice

"Researchers of human behavior have identified an 'orgasm gap': Men usually orgasm during intercourse, whereas women often do not. This book addresses this mystery. The two leading explanations are either that women are 'psychologically broken'—Freud's theory—or badly designed—the 'by-product theory.' However, there is a much more compelling third explanation. Evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, and direct sex research suggest women have evolved under their own selection pressures and orgasm is a fitness-increasing consequence of such selective factors. This is revealed in their patterns of orgasmic response, which are neither random nor inexplicable. Key Features ● Synthesizes decades of peer-reviewed sex research in anatomy, biology, physiology, and behavior ● Engagingly written based on feedback from students, peers, and interested lay persons ● Makes sense of the 'orgasm gap' between men and women ● Provides a wider context of human sexual dimorphism and mutual sexual selection ● Balances sex research and real-world research and practical applications"

Building Resilience to Trauma: The Trauma and Community Resiliency Models 2nd Edition

"During and after a traumatic experience, survivors experience a cascade of physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, relational, and spiritual responses that can make them feel unbalanced and threatened. The second edition of Building Resilience to Trauma explains common responses from a biological perspective, reframing the human experience from one of shame and pathology to one of hope and biology. Using two evidence-informed models of intervention that are trauma-informed and resiliency-informed—the Community Resiliency Model (CRM) and the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)—chapters distill complex neuroscience into understandable concepts and lay out a path for fostering short- and long-term healing. CRM develops natural leaders who share wellness skills throughout communities as primary prevention, and TRM focuses on training mental health professionals to reprocess traumatic experiences. Studies have demonstrated that the models' use leads to significant reductions in depression and anxiety, and both models also lead to increases in well-being. The models restore balance after traumatic experiences and can be used as tools to cultivate well-being across cultures and abilities throughout the lifespan. Program cosponsors have included the United Nations and Emory University's Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics, among many others."

Lies, Lying and Liars: A Psychological Analysis

"Lies, Lying and Liars: A Psychological Analysis delves into the psychology of lies, exploring the processes of lying and its far-reaching consequences. The author's unique approach considers the ways in which lying sculpts our realities when used by public figures such as politicians, as well as how lying is woven into our everyday life. This book dissects lies in natural social contexts, from the innocent childhood fibs to the more nefarious fabrications of con artists, cheats, and adulterers. Drawing from a rich tapestry of psychology and sociobiology, as well as research and literature from philosophy and the social sciences, this book discusses the role of lying and liars in day-to-day life. It offers profound insights into the strategies of deceit, the presence or absence of remorse, emotion and rationalizations, pathological liars, the development of lying, its connection to narcissism, the functional utility of lies, and lie detection. Lies, the book argues, are a part of the social structures inherent in everyday social life, and there is a need to explore their psychological significance in a range of natural, everyday contexts. Written in Beattie's unique and engaging style by using elements of personal narrative and self-reflection, this is a fascinating listen for anyone interested in the phenomenon of lying."

[French] - Les dépendances affectives: Aimer et être soi-même

"'Tu es tout pour moi', 'Je n'ai besoin de personne', 'Nous ne faisons qu'un', 'Etre ensemble est insupportable mais nous quitter est impossible'...

Comment s'en libérer ?

Car le choix d'une vie non plus subie mais incarnée, même s'il est difficile, nous appartient. © Groupe Eyrolles, 2007, 2012, 2016 © Éditions Eyrolles, 2022, pour la présente édition"
