Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful and comprehensive volume, leaders and managers can explore how they can use their power and choice of behavioural options more effectively to develop a positive and healthy working environment where people and the organization can succeed. Based on the Functional Fluency model as it was developed by Dr Susannah Temple, this book details the art and skill of interpersonal effectiveness, describing the behaviours that enable human beings to get along well together and to flourish and thrive. Fluent leaders make positive and flexible responses which help things turn out well, instead of repeating old automatic reactions that sometimes make things worse. By inspiring and motivating others, they manage and lead constructively, saving time, energy, and stress. Further, becoming functionally fluent will improve their problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills, enabling them to cultivate successful relationships. Through engaging case studies and opportunities for personal reflection, The Fluent Leader addresses situations leaders face as managers, team leaders, senior executives, and change agents. The Fluent Leader guides leaders and managers, at all levels in any kind of organization, in how to use the most effective behaviours, and how to change ineffective behaviours, which are draining them or holding them back.

Download or read book Yoga and Science in Pain Care written by Neil Pearson and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book takes an integrated approach to pain rehabilitation and combines pain science, rehabilitation and yoga with evidence-based approaches from respected contributors. They demonstrate how to integrate the concepts, philosophies and practices of yoga and pain science in working with people in pain. An essential and often overlooked part of pain rehabilitation is listening to, working with, learning from, and validating the person in pain's lived experience. The book expounds on the movement to a more patient-valued, partnership-based biopsychosocial-spiritual model of healthcare where the patient is an active and empowered participant, as opposed to a model where the healthcare provider is 'fixing' the passive patient. It also explains how practitioners can address the entire human being in pain, and how to include the person as an expert for more effective and self-empowered care.

Download or read book Winnicott and Good Enough Couple Therapy written by Claire Rabin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claire Rabin innovatively applies the Winnicottian theory of the ‘good enough mother’ to couple therapy, redirecting attention to the therapeutic relationship and the therapist’s self-awareness regardless of the methods used. Using this lens, even the therapist’s mistakes become an opportunity for repairing both the therapeutic relationship and the partners’ own personal maturity. The intensity and pressure of couple therapy can make each case a test of the therapist’s competence. The need for neutrality constitutes on-going pressure on the therapist and the proliferation of therapeutic methods can cause confusion about which might be most useful in each situation. Applying theory effectively is easier said than done within the context of the powerful emotions unleashed in sessions, which can result in a catastrophic atmosphere. These factors can make it hard for therapists to utilise their own skills and knowledge within sessions of couple therapy. The book explores how therapists and couples can unintentionally further ‘false selves’ without realising how the very tools of change may counter authenticity. Featuring interviews with an international range of couple therapists and case studies from the author’s own experiences, the key aspects of the ‘good enough’ concept are elaborated. Rabin shows how these ideas can strengthen therapists’ sense of security and safety in using their lived experience and intuition. Winnicott and Good Enough Couple Therapy is the ideal book for clinicians seeking an overarching framework for working with couples or families, as well as those concerned with the importance of the client-helper relationship.
Download or read book The Quantified Self written by Deborah Lupton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of digital devices and software, self-tracking practices have gained new adherents and have spread into a wide array of social domains. The Quantified Self movement has emerged to promote 'self-knowledge through numbers'. In this groundbreaking book Deborah Lupton critically analyses the social, cultural and political dimensions of contemporary self-tracking and identifies the concepts of selfhood and human embodiment and the value of the data that underpin them. The book incorporates discussion of the consolations and frustrations of self-tracking, as well as about the proliferating ways in which people's personal data are now used beyond their private rationales. Lupton outlines how the information that is generated through self-tracking is taken up and repurposed for commercial, governmental, managerial and research purposes. In the relationship between personal data practices and big data politics, the implications of self-tracking are becoming ever more crucial.
Download or read book Gospel Brokenness written by Clay Werner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of our hearts, whether we know it or not, long to know the deep joy of possessing and experiencing the permanent and passionate favor of God. However, all of our hearts also experience the twisted desires of sin and the foolish bent towards trying to deal with it in our own strength, which usually means somehow trying to cover it up so others--especially God--won't see. This two-step dance of struggling and covering leaves us exhausted and more hardened. Everyone who knows Christ knows about this tiring battle. However, the gospel is so extravagant that even a king like David who sinned and tried to hide it can find immeasurable and unexpected grace that restores spiritual vitality and makes one a wise counselor of mercy to the surrounding community. Everyone who knows Christ also has this hope and is invited to experience again the superabundant grace found in this remarkably rich section of the Psalms. This book invites you to step into a new gospel rhythm by exploring Saint Augustine's favorite psalm, Psalm 32. By exploring this psalm, you'll find the healing grace found in gospel brokenness.

Download or read book A Critical Investigation into Precognitive Dreams written by Paul Kiritsis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precognitive dream is a compelling, real-world phenomenon that still stands outside the purview of orthodox science. It is spoken about anecdotally and has been alluded to time and time again by renowned psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists, and other clinicians expounding upon the nature of their patients’ narratives. However, it receives no empirical airtime because it is incommensurable with conventional explanations of human consciousness like the embodied mind hypothesis and with unconscious philosophical attitudes espoused by disciples of an ostensibly irrevocable Cartesian-Kantian account of the cosmos. This volume examines precognitive dream experiences, offering a comprehensive source of integrated information pertaining to their history and overarching features, their potential neural underpinnings, and the implications for consciousness and competing philosophical theories of determinism and non-determinism. It will serve as a useful reference for both researchers and clinicians hoping to gain insight into an age-old, sublime phenomenon.
Download or read book The Sermon on the Mount the Twelve Steps and the Royal Road written by Daniel Hazelwood and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Sermon on the Mount, the Twelve Steps, and the Royal Road, Dan Hazelwood presents a unique blend of early church Christianity and the twelve-step recovering program that explains how the Christian experience changed over the last four hundred years and how the twelve-step process reconnects a spiritually seeking person to a deeper Christ experience that many mainstream churches cannot duplicate. In preparation for this journey into studying the sermon, he takes the reader on a historical church odyssey and highlights significant philosophical, church, and secular events that not only affected Christian thought but also were significant in altering how current Christians view Christ. He also demonstrates why early Christians viewed Christ differently. By providing this background, he prepares the reader to study the sermon in a manner the early church did while simultaneously demonstrating why the twelve steps represent a reconnection to an almost lost and forgotten Christ experience. Complementing this journey is an exhaustive examination of biblical Greek so that the reader may gain a deeper understanding of the sermon in its original, majestic splendor. This challenging and thought-provoking book unlocks the deeper meanings of many biblical passages and greatly enhances a spiritual seekers walk.
Download or read book The Origins of Fairness written by Nicolas Baumard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to describe the logic of morality, "contractualist" philosophers have studied how individuals behave when they choose to follow their moral intuitions. These individuals, contractualists note, often act as if they have bargained and thus reached an agreement with others about how to distribute the benefits and burdens of mutual cooperation. Using this observation, such philosophers argue that the purpose of morality is to maximize the benefits of human interaction. The resulting "contract" analogy is both insightful and puzzling. On one hand, it captures the pattern of moral intuitions, thus answering questions about human cooperation: why do humans cooperate? Why should the distribution of benefits be proportionate to each person's contribution? Why should the punishment be proportionate to the crime? Why should the rights be proportionate to the duties? On the other hand, the analogy provides a mere as-if explanation for human cooperation, saying that cooperation is "as if" people have passed a contract-but since they didn't, why should it be so? To evolutionary thinkers, the puzzle of the missing contract is immediately reminiscent of the puzzle of the missing "designer" of life-forms, a puzzle that Darwin's theory of natural selection essentially resolved. Evolutionary and contractualist theory originally intersected at the work of philosophers John Rawls and David Gauthier, who argued that moral judgments are based on a sense of fairness that has been naturally selected. In this book, Nicolas Baumard further explores the theory that morality was originally an adaptation to the biological market of cooperation, an arena in which individuals competed to be selected for cooperative interactions. In this environment, Baumard suggests, the best strategy was to treat others with impartiality and to share the costs and benefits of cooperation in a fair way, so that those who offered less than others were left out of cooperation while those who offered more were exploited by their partners. It is with this evolutionary approach that Baumard ultimately accounts for the specific structure of human morality.
