In her new book, In Charge, Dr. Arin N. Reeves offers women a path to a successful and meaningful life, by helping women eliminate energy drains, manage what needs to be done, and bring more of what makes them happy into their lives.
Through dozens of stories from real, badass women who have taken steps to be “in charge” of their lives despite circumstances that left them stretched too thin, stressed out, and just plain pissed off, Reeves demonstrates tools and techniques you can use to better manage your energy all day, every day, to accomplish all you need to do and regain a sense of control.
The very short version this book teaches: identify what makes you happy, identify what pisses you off, then do more of what makes you happy and less of what pisses you off. But. . .we all know it’s not that simple. Synthesizing research across multiple disciplines, and rejecting typical advice women hear (which often begins and ends with “just pamper yourself for a moment”), Reeves takes into the practical action steps and sustainable practices that will enable you to neutralize energy drains.
For every woman experiencing diminished energy in the midst of chaos; for every woman seeking greater joy, acknowledgment, and strength; for every woman who wants to continue to excel and refuses to settle for less, this is the energy management book that will actually lead to a new outlook and a badass life.

We are all taught, early in life, that it is bad to lie. But nobody warns us that some people will ignore this rule—to their benefit, and our detriment. While most of us live by the same moral code, we aren’t armed with the tools to deal with the liars who do not.

Rather, our brains are hardwired to make it more likely we will believe liars, and fall prey to manipulators. A truth bias makes our brains default to believing everything we hear as true; a trust bias makes our brains default… Show more

We are all taught, early in life, that it is bad to lie. But nobody warns us that some people will ignore this rule—to their benefit, and our detriment. While most of us live by the same moral code, we aren’t armed with the tools to deal with the liars who do not.

Rather, our brains are hardwired to make it more likely we will believe liars, and fall prey to manipulators. A truth bias makes our brains default to believing everything we hear as true; a trust bias makes our brains default to trusting people; and an authority bias makes our brains more likely to trust people in positions of power, even if we have information that contradicts what that powerful person is saying.

In this new book, nationally-recognized workplace researcher Dr. Arin N. Reeves delves into the world of liars, the lies they tell, and the ways in which each of us can be smarter than the lies we encounter, especially in professional environments and public spaces.

Among the questions Dr. Reeves addresses in the book:

Why do liars lie?
Why do they get away with lying?
Why do the people around liars enable them, even when they know they are lying?
Why is it so hard, and unsatisfying, to confront a liar?
How can we fight back against liars and the lies they tell—and how can we win?
Smarter Than A Lie will help you understand why liars lie, why their lies are effective, why they tend to be surrounded by enablers, and the most effective strategies the rest of us—the ones who still believe it’s wrong to tell a lie—can use to counteract liars and overcome their lies. Show less
