You know the feeling. You meet someone new-at a party or at work-and you just hit it off. There is an instant sense of camaraderie. In a word, you "click." From the bestselling authors of Sway, Click is a fascinating psychological investigation of the forces behind what makes us click with certain people, or become fully immersed in whatever activity or situation we're involved in. From two co-workers who fall head over heels for each other while out to dinner and are married a month later (and fifteen years later remain just as in love), to a team of scientists who changed the world with the magic of their invention, these kinds of peak experiences, when our senses are completely focused on the moment, are something that individuals-and companies-strive to achieve. After all, when you're in the "zone," you're happier and more productive. Why is it that we click in certain situations and with certain people, but not with others? Can this kind of magical connection be consciously encouraged? Is there a way to create such peak experiences, whether on a date or in your job? According to Ori and Rom Brafman, there is. In a powerful, story-driven narrative that weaves together cutting-edge research in psychology and sociology, the Brafmans explore what it means to "click": the common factors present when our brain and senses are fully engaged. They identify five "accelerators" that increase the likelihood of these kinds of magic connections in our work and relationships. From actors vying for a role on a popular TV series to police officers negotiating with hostage takers, we learn how one can foster an environment where we can click with another person and shape our thinking, behavior, and emotions. A fascinating journey into how we engage with the world around us, Click will transform our thinking about those moments when we are in the zone and everything seems to fall into place. Acclaim for Sway:"A provocative new book about the psychological forces that lead us to disregard facts or logic and behave in surprisingly irrational ways." -New York Times "A unique and compulsively readable look at unseen behavioral trends." -Fortune"A breathtaking book that will challenge your every thought, Sway hovers above the intersection of Blink and Freakonomics."--Tom Rath, coauthor of the New York Times #1 bestseller How Full Is Your Bucket?"[An] engaging journey through the workings-and failings-of the mind…Their stories of senselessness…are as fascinating as the lessons we learn from them." -Fast Company"Count me swayed--but in this instance by the pull of entirely rational forces. Ori and Rom Brafman have done a terrific job of illuminating deep-seated tendencies that skew our behavior in ways that can range from silly to deadly. We'd be fools not to learn what they have to teach us."--Robert B. Cialdini, author of New York Times bestseller Influence"If you think you know how you think, you'd better think again! Take this insightful, delightful trip to the sweet spot where economics, psychology, and sociology converge, and you'll discover how our all-too-human minds actually work."--Alan M. Webber, founding editor of Fast Company

The world often encourages us to suppress pain; Goldmining the Shadows asks you to embrace it as a path to acceptance.Through short and accessible chapters, you will learn to prioritize your healing by honoring the medicine of the wound, “to take responsibility for the parts of yourself you are most driven to deny—to be accountable for what might lie outside of your awareness.” Pixie is the author of five books centered on self-healing through intimate relationship with the natural world. She is an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and writes as Lighthorse to honor the unheard voices of her ancestors. “Pixie cracks the door open to the shadowy places that exist within our hearts, and then allows us to walk through it with her steady hand as our guide. A beautiful, thoughtful read for the world today.” — Missy Rhysing, Ritualcravt
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Führung und Personal - Mitarbeitermotivation, Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit, Note: 1,3, , Veranstaltung: Modulare Weiterbildung zur PDL, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Ansätzen zur Steigerung der Arbeitermotivation. Dafür wird zu Beginn der Begriff Motivation definiert und anhand von Forschung und Recherche auf den Grund gegangen. Dabei stellen sich die Fragen: Was bewegt Mitarbeiter zur motivierten Arbeitsleistung? Was bewirkt ein guter Teamzusammenhalt? Warum sind Vorbilder wichtig für die eigene Motivation? Welche Rolle spielen Bedürfnisse, Werte und Motive? Warum ist es wichtig Demotivation zu vermeiden? All diese Fragen werden in den folgenden Kapiteln genauer erläutert.Zwei Inhaltstheorien zum Thema Mitarbeitermotivation werden ebenfalls vorgestellt, der Hauptaugenmerk liegt hierbei auf der Bedürfnistheorie von Abraham Maslow sowie der Zwei Faktoren Theorie von Herzberg, da sich mit diesen Inhaltstheorien die Faktoren ermitteln lassen, die die Entstehung von Arbeitszufriedenheit beeinflussen. Auf die Prozesstheorien wird in dieser Facharbeit nicht eingegangen, da diese nicht bedürfnisstrukturiert sind, sondern eher prozessstrukturiert.Was für Anreize materiell/immateriell fördern tatsächlich die Arbeitsleistung. Hier gibt das Job-Characteristics-Model von Hackman und Oldham Aufschluss über die Anreize, die Menschen motivieren.
Angst und Aggressionen entstehen in Gesellschaften, in denen ungerechte Verhältnisse herrschen. Solange einer dominanten Gruppe keine politischen und rechtlichen Maßnahmen entgegengesetzt werden können, bleiben sie bestehen. Dieter Sandner legt in seiner Textsammlung dar, wie kollektivpsychologische Prozesse entstehen, die bei einem Gutteil der Gesellschaftsmitglieder unbewusst als gemeinsame kollektive Überzeugungen und Reaktionsbereitschaften entstehen und aufrechterhalten werden. Neben grundlagenpsychologischen Überlegungen zur Kollektivpsychologie, was darunter zu verstehen ist und wie sie qualitativ analysiert werden kann, stellt der Autor eine Reihe von kollektivpsychologischen Analysen an, wie sich konkrete gesellschaftliche Prozesse auf die Gesellschaftsmitglieder auswirken, wie zum Beispiel AfD, und wie man dem entgegenwirken kann. Das Buch ist wichtig für alle, die ein besonderes Verständnis für kollektivpsychologische Prozesse und Zusammenhänge suchen und für die eigene politische Arbeit benötigen ¿ von Psychotherapeutinnen und -therapeuten bis hin zu Politikerinnen und Politikern.
Every now and then, a teachingtool comes along that really makesa difference. This is one! Jef Sturm, PresidentJef Sturm Graphic DesignPawley s Island, South Carolina Professor Mantle presents color theory in a unique format that clearly illustrates the effect of perspective on color, light and shade. This technique should be a primary tool for all serious painters. --Joan Klatil Creamer, Industrial and Product Designer Eric Mantle s book will be a treasured resource for students of art and design and a truly great asset in any serious art professor s library, said David L. Deming, a sculptor and president and CEO of the Cleveland Institute of Art.

The habitual behaviors the disturbed use to avoid responsibility and to manipulate, deceive, and exploit others. Why victims in relationships with disturbed characters do not get help they need from traditional therapies. A straightforward guide to recognizing and understanding all relevant personality types, especially those most likely to undermine relationships. A new framework for making sense of the crazy world many find themselves in when there's a disturbed character in their lives. Concrete principles that promote responsibility and positive change when engaging disturbed characters. Tactics (for both lay persons and therapists) to lessen the chances for victimization and empower those who would otherwise be victims in their relationships with many types of disturbed characters.

Over two-thirds of American families are "blended," which means they are made up of remarried adults and often stepchildren. Although it's good news that many divorced people remarry, the bad news is that too many of them carry the animosities and negative behavior patterns of their former heartbreaks into their new situation. In this supportive and uplifting book that is aimed at both men and women, Dr. Stephan B. Poulter-acclaimed author of The Father Factor and The Mother Factor-tackles this pervasive problem with great sensitivity and understanding. Dividing the work into three parts, Dr. Poulter takes the reader step by step from the anguish of divorce to the security of a stronger and more fulfilling future attachment.In part one, he explains how breakups happen and explores the challenges of dealing with the emotional wreckage, from guilt and anger to feelings of rejection and despair. Part two describes five relationship styles and helps readers develop insight into their own styles so that present and future relationships can grow in a healthy and refreshed atmosphere. In part three he shows ways to go beyond blame, tension, and other "ex-factors" and objectively assess inner needs. As Dr. Poulter shows, the key to forming lasting bonds with another is discovering exactly what one needs to feel loved.Your Ex-Factor will be a welcome resource to anyone trying to move forward beyond the pain of emotional loss and rediscover the joys of loving again regardless of prior history, circumstances, "old baggage," or fears.

The groundbreaking alternative for the millions of couples with children who face divorce each year-couples who want to avoid litigation, but don't want to give up on getting what they want.Even under the best circumstances, divorce can be marked by a range of painful emotions. But research now reveals that how a couple conducts themselves during a divorce has far greater impact on their children than the act of divorcing itself. Groundbreaking and revolutionary, The Collaborative Way to Divorce is the first guide to the Collaborative process, a nationally acclaimed approach based on the concept that both spouses hire legal representation, yet agree to resolve their differences with no intention of ever going to court.Stressing cooperation over confrontation and resolution over revenge, Collaborative divorce is fast transforming how couples dissolve their marriages, divide their assets, and reinvent their post-divorce relationships, particularly when they have children. Written by Stu Webb, the founder of the Collaborative law movement and Ron Ousky, an early pioneer of the process, The Collaborative Way to Divorce guides you through the steps of the Collaborative process so that you can make better, more informed, and more strategic decisions-resulting in a win-win outcome for you and your spouse.
In 1997, almost by accident, John Richardson found himself sharing a hotel with more than a thousand dwarfs. Over the course of a single week, he begins relationships with some of the people at a convention that evolve into an affecting two-year-and-beyond odyssey into the little world.He introduces us to characters like a saintly but obsessed doctor and a mother who sacrifices her family to save her dwarf daughter. He follows two dwarf lovers from their first meeting through their struggle to overcome fear and shame and find the confidence to love each other. He becomes personally involved in a tangled and often confrontational friendship with a female dwarf.Through these stories and musings, ranging from classic theories of beauty to the history of the disability movement, to postmodern theories of difference, Richardson presents a world that is a skewed reflection of our own -- and offers us a glimpse into the essential human condition.
