Authors on today’s Leonard Lopate Show:
Psychologist Sheena Iyengar selected The Art of Choosing (Twelve, 978-0446504102, $25.99; Hachette Audio unabridged CD, $34.98). PW starred its review: “Iyengar writes in a lucid, catchy style, very much in the Malcolm Gladwell vein of pop psychology–cum–social commentary, but with more rigor. The result is a delightful, astonishing take on the pitfalls of making up one's mind.”
Online entrepreneur Scott Belsky, author of Making Ideas Happen: Overcoming the Obstacles Between Vision and Reality (Portfolio, 978-1591843122, $25.95). PW wrote “Ultimately, Belsky insists, creative success is a matter of rethinking methods and increasing focus, while emphasizing and rewarding old-fashioned passion and perspiration.”
Social psychologist Claude Steele, with Whistling Vivaldi: And Other Clues to How Stereotypes Affect Us (W. W. Norton, 978-0393062496, $25.95).
Tonight, Tavis Smiley hosts bestselling novelist Brett Easton Ellis, whose latest novel is Imperial Bedrooms (Knopf, 978-0307266101, $24.95; RH Audio unabridged CD, $25). In a starred review, PW declared “Ellis fans will delight in the characters and Ellis's easy hand in manipulating their fates, and though the novel's synchronicity with Zero is sublime, this also works as a stellar stand-alone.”
