In a Different Key: The Story of Autism

John Donvan and Caren Zucker's In a Different Key:  The Story of Autism tells the story of a psychological disorder that was ignored for decades, and only recently has been discovered and researched. It is a moving and absorbing resource that tells the tale of the early roots of autism and provides some stories on how it's been misunderstood.

Performing Under Pressure Book Review

This book is an outstanding glimpse at the importance of using specific strategies to your advantage when addressing a pressure situation. All fields, athletes, and students go through some element of pressure in their lives and the authors provide ways to depressurize certain situations by looking at it in a positive light and approaching situations differently. 5/5 stars on creative and innovative approaches to desensitize and depressurize situations that are backed up with evidence by psychology studies, and a great analogy of the "clutch" myth that many believe in sports and in business.
