Powers of Two: How Relationships Drive Creativity"This is a book about magic, about the Beatles, about the chemistry between people, about neuroscience, and about the buddy system; it examines love and hate, harmony and dissonance, and everything in between. The result is wise, funny, surprising, and completely engrossing." Susan Orlean Lennon and McCartney, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Pierre and Marie Curie. Throughout history, partners have buoyed each other to better work though often one
"This is a book about magic, about the Beatles, about the chemistry between people, about neuroscience, and about the buddy system; it examines love and hate, harmony and dissonance, and everything in between. The result is wise, funny, surprising, and completely engrossing." -- Susan Orlean Lennon and McCartney, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Pierre and Marie Curie. Throughout history, partners have buoyed each other to better work -- though often one member is little known to the general public. (See Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, or Vincent and Theo van Gogh.) In Powers of Two, Joshua Wolf Shenk draws on neuroscience, social psychology, and cultural history to present the social foundations of creativity, with the pair as its primary embodiment. Revealing the six essential stages through which creative intimacy unfolds, Shenk shows how pairs begin to talk, think, and even look like each other; how the most successful ones thrive on conflict; and why some cease to work together while others carry on. At once intuitive and deeply surprising, Powers of Two will reshape the way you view individuals, relationships, and society itself. "Sterling . . . a rare glimpse into the private realms of duos . . . Shenk is a natural storyteller." -- Sarah Lewis, New York Times "In this surprising, compelling, deeply felt book, Joshua Wolf Shenk banishes the idea of solitary genius by demonstrating that our richest art and science come from collaboration: we need one another not only for love, but also for thinking and imagining and growing and being." -- Andrew SolomonBinding Type: Paperback

Sold on ASICS for my running needs.
Size: 8, Color: Carrier Grey/Anzu
I run 40+ miles a week. These running shoes are terrific. Can afford the expensive brands/models and this fits my feet, price and running requirements. Have purchased several over the years.

Comfort and Great for Standing
Definitely the best shoe for standing on ur feet all day. I stand for about 7.5 hrs a day and this has changed things for me drastically. The foam makes a difference and the shoe is stylish as well.

Sturdy and slim yet spacious and comfortable
Color: Derrick Brown, Size: One Size
Very nice! Fit about 10 cards total as well as about 10 bills. Would like to see how it holds up as I just got it today but I like it enough to write a review! I really like this wallet. I’m a bit of a stickler when it comes to having things near my butt area, but this fits great in my back pocket. I know it’s a front pocket billfold, but hey, I live on the wild side. I can wait until corona passes and I can walk up to the bar and whip this bad boy out to start a tab. It smells like a cowboy but presents like a stock broker. If you didn’t know me, and I pulled out this wallet, you would be very mystified. “Is this man classy? I think he might be! Look at fossil Derrick Front pocket Billfold” “wait, is that Derrick himself?” I’m not Derrick, but thinking about switching my name to Derrick because of how good this wallet is. The leather looks like it was cut from a Waygu bull with horns too big for a Cadillac. I’ll tell you what, this SOB is purtttttty. Would recommend to friends, family, and acquaintances. I would never pull this out in front of my enemy, in fear he might get the same wallet as me. The fossil message said this wallet is one of a kind, so the odds of someone else getting the same one is impossible. So, if I am the only one who has this wallet, how will anyone in the world find this review helpful? I guess you’ll just have to take a chance at getting a similar wallet to mine.

Nice simple wallet
Color: Derrick Brown, Size: One Size
I purchased this for my husband. It’s one inch shorter than his previous wallet, which had us worried at first. However, it fits all his cards. It has a nice look to it and time of good quality. My husband says he’s happy with it and really likes it.

Expensive, but a well-made slim front pocket wallet
Color: Steven Medium Brown, Size: One Size, Color: Steven Medium Brown, Size: One Size
This is a review for the Fossil “Steven” Front Pocket Bifold Wallet. This wallet measures 4.5 inches x 3.0 inches. It is made with soft-touch leather all around (which feels fantastic), and the build quality is top-notch. It is definitely smaller than a typical wallet, but is still able to hold a good number of cards. I could easily fit about 12 cards into this wallet while still being relatively slim and compact. The wallet is discreet with only a “Fossil” logo that is embossed on the inside. The fabric lining of the cash compartment is treated with an anti-microbial coating. There’s more information about this coating on the manufacturer’s website, but it seems this is to protect against viruses and germs that maybe on cash notes. And while other wallets feature RFID Blocking, this wallet does not claim to do so. This wallet is definitely pricey. And you can easily find other slim wallets for much less. But, I suppose I’m paying for the brand name - and I do like Fossil products. So if you want a brand name wallet that is well-made and slim - this is a good option to consider.
