Popular Mechanics knows: there are two types of people in the world--those able to fix whatever goes bust, and those who beg the first group for help when something goes wrong. But it doesn’t have to be that way, because this easy-to-follow guide will give anyone the basics to tackle those frustrating (and sometimes nerve-wracking) quandaries that crop up around the house: plumbing problems, electrical snafus, appliance failures, computer and electronics breakdowns, pest infestations, and furniture in need of renewal.

So, whether the issue is a fast repair for a running toilet or a leaking pipe, or a simple, inexpensive way to keep deer from pillaging the garden, it’s all in here.

The Quick Fix
Author: Jesse Singal
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374718040
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
An investigative journalist exposes the many holes in today’s bestselling behavioral science, and argues that the trendy, TED-Talk-friendly psychological interventions that are so in vogue at the moment will never be enough to truly address social injustice and inequality. With their viral TED talks, bestselling books, and counter-intuitive remedies for complicated problems, psychologists and other social scientists have become the reigning thinkers of our time. Grit and “power posing” promised to help overcome entrenched inequalities in schools and the workplace; the Army spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a positive psychology intervention geared at preventing PTSD in its combat soldiers; and the implicit association test swept the nation on the strength of the claim that it can reveal unconscious biases and reduce racism in police departments and human resources departments. But what if much of the science underlying these blockbuster ideas is dubious or fallacious? What if Americans’ longstanding preference for simplistic self-help platitudes is exerting a pernicious influence on the way behavioral science is communicated and even funded, leading respected academics and the media astray? In The Quick Fix, Jesse Singal examines the most influential ideas of recent decades and the shaky science that supports them. He begins with the California legislator who introduced self-esteem into classrooms around the country in the 1980s and the Princeton political scientist who warned of an epidemic of youthful “superpredators” in the 1990s. In both cases, a much-touted idea had little basis in reality, but had a massive impact. Turning toward the explosive popularity of 21st-century social psychology, Singal examines the misleading appeal of entertaining lab results and critiques the idea that subtle unconscious cues shape our behavior. As he shows, today’s popular behavioral science emphasizes repairing, improving, and optimizing individuals rather than truly understanding and confronting the larger structural forces that drive social ills. Like Anand Giridharadas’s Winners Take All, The Quick Fix is a fresh and powerful indictment of the thought leaders and influencers who cut corners as they sell the public half-baked solutions to problems that deserve more serious treatment.

Book Description
This book is an Emotional Experience to Unleash Pain, Hope and Determination. When I wrote this book, the thought never occurred to me, that so many people shared similar, if not the same exact experiences as I. At first, it was very difficult for me to express in words, especially in writing, deep secrets that were embedded with shame, guilt and internal fears. Before divine intervention helped me understand that childhood hurts are just that- childhood hurts; I was continuously engulfed in a battle that raged war between my spirit, soul and body. If these hurts are left untreated or unaddressed, these childhood hurts have the potential of developing into an array of unwelcomed personality disorders, emotional problems and physical illnesses that interferes with one's education, relationships, finances and spirituality. Sadly, human behaviors are often altered by society ills, toxic environments and learned behaviors, which deepens internal conflicts. When a person recognizes that good is within them, they are able to see themselves differently. In order for many of us to move forward, we will have to journey back, a trip that goes far beyond one's immediate family, circumstances and painful memories. As recorded in Genesis, the journey oftentimes must go back to the footsteps of the first family; it is there, that one will find blame, guilt and shame, in the midst of paradise- a place of peace and love. It is here, where we can accept and understand the meaning of being created in God's image-to mirror His presence in the earth. Despite life adversities, you can live a victorious life by knowing that Christ is in control of your life. In this book, Mirrored Reflection, you will discover my personal pain and my personal determination to love and to be loved all embraced the Blessed Hope.
