Books


Somehow, I have ended up writing a few books. I try to make them entertaining, well-researched, and practical. (But I’m not making any promises.)

 

users-guide-to-the-human-mind Here’s my bias about human minds: even when they seem to be working against us, they are almost always trying to help. The User’s Guide to the Human Mind is about living with the mind when the mind is driving us crazy. Rather than fighting against it, it is possible to notice what the mind is doing, appreciate the beauty of it (or at least appreciate the survival value of it), and live as we wish. Available at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.New Harbinger Publications, 2011.
Woman'sGdHowMenThinkCF.indd The Women’s Guide to How Men Think is due on shelves February, 2014. Much more information will be forthcoming on my blog.
Surviving Aggressive People: Practical Violence Prevention Skills for the Workplace and the Street An Amazon.com reviewer described Surviving Aggressive People this way: “It is a brilliant tool book to avoiding and dealing with conflict. It lays out ground rules of how to act and react to conflict. It also gives an idea of what type of people start conflicts and why they do. Personally I found the book to be very interesting because Smith uses real life scenarios that anyone can relate to.” Surviving Aggressive People is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble, though it is getting a bit scarce.Sentient Publications, 2003.
