How confidence works : the new science of self-belief, why some people learn it and others don't / by Robertson, Ian H.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Imagine we could discover something that could make us richer, healthier, longer-living, smarter, kinder, happier, more motivated and more innovative. Ridiculous, you might say ... What is this elixir? Confidence. If you have it, it can empower you to reach heights you never thought possible. But if you don't, it can have a devastating effect on your future. Confidence lies at the core of what makes things happen. Probing the science and neuroscience behind confidence that has emerged over the last decade, Professor Ian Robertson tells us how confidence plays out in our minds, our brains and indeed our bodies. He explains where it comes from and how it spreads -with extraordinary economic and political consequences. And why it's not necessarily something you are born with, but something that can be learned.

Past lying / by McDermid, Val,author.;
"It's April 2020 and Edinburgh is in lockdown. It would seem like a strange time for a cold case to go hot--the streets all but empty, an hour's outdoor exercise the maximum allowed--but a mere pandemic doesn't mean crime takes a holiday. When a source at the National Library contacts DCI Karen Pirie's team about documents in the archive of a recently deceased crime novelist, it seems it's game on again. At the center of it, a novel: two crime novelists facing off over a chessboard. But it quickly emerges that their real-life competition is drawing blood. What unspools is a twisted game of betrayal and revenge, and as Karen and her team attempt to disentangle fact from fiction, it becomes clear that this case is more complicated than they ever imagined."--

Ravenous / by Hardt, Helen,author.;
Bryce Simpson did the only thing he could. He spurned Marjorie Steel. Even though he'll be living on her ranch, he is determined to stay away from her. She's worthy of more than he can even think about giving, especially now that long-buried memories are surfacing and he's learning that his father's sins may go even deeper than he imagined. Bryce's rejection destroys Marjorie, and she descends to a dark place she thought she'd abandoned forever. She emerges stronger, though, and is determined not to let heartbreak rule her life. Change is the answer, she's sure, so she makes plans--plans that include a handsome personal trainer she meets at the gym. When Bryce and Marjorie are thrown together, though, their ravenous hunger for each other takes over, leaving both of them more vulnerable than they realize."Mature audience"--back cover.
