Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. NATIONAL BESTSELLER * NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE * A "profound and beautiful" (Marilynne Robinson) account of joy and sorrow from one of the great writers of our time, The New Yorker's Kathryn Schulz, winner of the Pulitzer Prize "I will stake my reputation on you being blown away by Lost & Found."--Anne Lamott, author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Bird by Bird WINNER OF THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD * LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD * FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD * LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL * AN OPRAH DAILY BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE PAST TWO DECADES ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: People ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, NPR, Oprah Daily, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Esquire, Vulture, She Reads, Book Riot, Publishers Weekly One spring morning, Kathryn Schulz went to lunch with a stranger and fell in love. Having spent years looking for the right relationship, she was dazzled by how swiftly everything changed when she finally met her future wife. But as the two of them began building a life together, Schulz's beloved father--a charming, brilliant, absentminded Jewish refugee--went into the hospital with a minor heart condition and never came out. Newly in love yet also newly bereft, Schulz was left contending simultaneously with wild joy and terrible grief. Those twin experiences form the heart of Lost & Found, a profound meditation on the families that make us and the families we make. But Schulz's book also explores how disappearance and discovery shape us all. On average, we each lose two hundred thousand objects over our lifetime, and Schulz brilliantly illuminates the relationship between those everyday losses and our most devastating ones. Likewise, she explores the importance of seeking, whether for ancient ruins or new ideas, friends, faith, meaning, or love. The resulting book is part memoir, part guidebook to sustaining wonder and gratitude even in the face of loss and grief. A staff writer at The New Yorker and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Schulz writes with curiosity, tenderness, and humor about the connections between joy and sorrow--and between us all.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The bestselling history of and investigation into human error by beloved New Yorker writer Kathryn Schulz "Both wise and clever, full of fun and surprise about a topic so central to our lives that we almost never even think about it." --Bill McKibben, author of Earth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet To err is human. Yet most of us go through life assuming (and sometimes insisting) that we are right about nearly everything, from the origins of the universe to how to load the dishwasher. If being wrong is so natural, why is our grasp of the psychology of belief so flawed that we are bad at imagining our ideas could be mistaken, and why do we react to our errors with surprise, denial, defensiveness, and shame? In the tradition of The Wisdom of Crowds and Predictably Irrational, Being Wrong explores the fascinating human cognition behind what it means to be in error, and why homo sapiens tend to tacitly assume (or loudly insist) that they are right about most everything. Kathryn Schulz argues that error is the fundamental human condition and should be celebrated as such. Guiding the reader through the history and psychology of error, from Socrates to Alan Greenspan, Being Wrong will change the way you perceive screw-ups, both of the mammoth and daily variety, forever. This witty exploration of wrongology reveals: Our Surprising Fallibility: Schulz examines why being wrong is so natural, yet why we react to our own mistakes with surprise, denial, and shame. The Certainty Trap: An investigation into why we go through life assuming we are right about nearly everything, from how to load the dishwasher to the origins of the universe. A History of Error: A journey through the psychology and philosophy of being wrong, guided by thinkers and public figures from Socrates to Alan Greenspan. The Case for Being Wrong: A compelling argument for why error is the fundamental human condition, and why our capacity to screw up should be celebrated, not condemned. …
