Become confident in your choices.
Where should I live? Is it time to get a new job? Which job candidate should I hire? What business strategy should I pursue? We spend the majority of our lives making decisions, both big and small. Yet, even though our success is largely determined by the choices that we make, very few of us are equipped with useful decision-making skills. Because of this, we often approach our choices tentatively, or even fearfully, and avoid giving them the time and thought required to put our best foot forward. In Smart Choices, John Hammond, Ralph Keeney, and Howard Raiffa--experts with over 100 years of experience resolving complex decision problems--offer a proven, straightforward, and flexible roadmap for making better and more impactful decisions, and offer the tools to achieve your goals in every aspect of your life.

Описание: In late November 1943, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his Joint Chiefs of Staff secretly boarded the battleship USS Iowa to attend a conference in Tehran with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, where the Allies would come to an agreement on a war plan to defeat Germany. Although Roosevelt's preparation at sea established the groundwork for the American position on D-Day, it was in the heated and electrifying debates that followed in Tehran--and only through those intense debates--that a deal was ultimately struck.
In The Eleventh Hour, critically acclaimed author L. Douglas Keeney explores FDR's covert conferences on the battleship and provides stunning insight into the formerly secret, behind-the-scenes transcripts from the meetings in Tehran. Brilliantly chronicling the three days of aggressive debates between the heads-of-state, Keeney demonstrates that Tehran, although remembered as a diplomatic conference with a well-known outcome, was in reality chaotic, conflicted, and subject to numerous heated, closed-door sessions--with a petulant, irritable Churchill; a strikingly reserved, detached Roosevelt; and an assertive but unexpectedly diplomatic and even charming Stalin, winning over his guest, President Roosevelt, whose quarters were bugged by the Soviets.
Seamlessly stitching together the private papers, diaries, meeting notes, and letters home of those on board, The Eleventh Hour narrates declassified transcripts, exposes surprising secrets, and illuminates how the debates of three men would ultimately end WWII.

Описание: In her engaging new book, the author of the award-winning memoir Encounters: A Lifetime Spent Crossing Cultural Frontiers illuminates the culinary dimensions of that story. As a young bride, Nancy Forster was challenged by her new role as a diplomatic hostess in a distant land, without the familiar conveniences of home. At first, she struggled to prepare simple meals for her husband and herself. As her confidence, recipe collection, and family grew, she learned to provide stylish refreshment to a steady stream of guests, as well as delicious meals at home. Featured here are recipes collected across the globe-in the Philippines, Japan, Burma, Israel, Washington D.C., Hawaii, and California-along with vignettes about the author's dining companions and their cultures. From intimate dinners for six to official receptions for two hundred, readers will take pleasure in traveling along on this sixty-year adventure-A Culinary Journey. "Nancy weaves elements of history and culture together with her recipes, honed from the very successful career that she and her husband had in representing the U.S.A. to foreigners. Mrs. Lane and I had the pleasure on several occasions of seeing the two of them in action overseas. They made us proud " -Ambassador Bill Lane, former Sunset magazine publisher
