Download or read book Atomic Habits written by James Clear and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 20 million copies sold! Translated into 60+ languages! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

Download or read book Consumer Behaviour and Decision Making from Officed Based Doctors written by Claudia Pitterle and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As individuals, we face the challenge of making numerous decisions every day. Although some of them are made consciously, the majority are made unconsciously and automatically (Pöppel, 2007, p. 22). Especially in the insurance sector, which is one of the more complex fields of decisionmaking, these decisions have far-reaching significance. The discussion of risk protection and individual insurance demand is gaining in importance, especially against the backdrop of climate change, cyber-attacks and global health crises such as the COVID 19 pandemic. The literature research in the context of these interests revealed that studies and surveys in Germany, Europe, as well as in North America repeatedly identify structural insurance gaps and a tendency towards underinsurance. This reveals systematic deviations from economically appropriate insurance coverage. There is even talk of “misinsurance” due to incorrect risk perception, assessment, and evaluation on the part of the policyholders. From a behavioural economics perspective, these patterns can be attributed to heuristics and cognitive biases that influence the decision-making of the insured (European Commission, 2017; GDV, 2020; GoslarInstitut, 2016, Kunreuther et al., 2013, Richter et al., 2019). Based on these findings, the commercial insurance coverage of doctors in private practice was evaluated and the demand for insurance was investigated. Officed- based doctors in Germany are central actors in the health care system and so far, there is no specific study on their coverage behaviour. The aim of the thesis was therefore to examine the officed- based doctors’ behaviours towards professional safe-guarding risks. With a further objective to investigate the use of heuristics and identify factors indicating deviations from economically adequate insurance coverage, to better understand manifested decision-making behaviour.

Download or read book Decisive written by Chip Heath and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four principles that can help us to overcome our brains' natural biases to make better, more informed decisions--in our lives, careers, families and organizations. In Decisive, Chip Heath and Dan Heath, the bestselling authors of Made to Stick and Switch, tackle the thorny problem of how to overcome our natural biases and irrational thinking to make better decisions, about our work, lives, companies and careers. When it comes to decision making, our brains are flawed instruments. But given that we are biologically hard-wired to act foolishly and behave irrationally at times, how can we do better? A number of recent bestsellers have identified how irrational our decision making can be. But being aware of a bias doesn't correct it, just as knowing that you are nearsighted doesn't help you to see better. In Decisive, the Heath brothers, drawing on extensive studies, stories and research, offer specific, practical tools that can help us to think more clearly about our options, and get out of our heads, to improve our decision making, at work and at home.

Download or read book Advances in Research on Reading Recovery written by Jerome V. D'Agostino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no shortage of innovative educational programs – the challenge is learning how to scale and sustain those with strong evidence of effectiveness. This book focuses on Reading Recovery – one of the few educational innovations that has successfully expanded and established itself in several educational systems in the world. Developed by Marie Clay in New Zealand during the mid-1980s, Reading Recovery is an intensive intervention for young students who are struggling to learn how to read, and has expanded to several countries across the globe over the last 30 years. Providing evidence of the intervention’s effectiveness both in the short- and long-term, this volume presents in-depth studies to elucidate why the program is effective; discusses the trials and tribulations in scaling and sustaining the program; and approaches scaling and maintaining from theoretical and practical perspectives. The contributors to this book explain how Reading Recovery has established itself because it has maintained a strong focus on evidence; developed a deep sense of community among its practitioners; and was at the forefront in enhancing professional development of the teachers who delivered the intervention. Understanding the implementation experiences of the intervention is beneficial for any innovation developer who wishes to grow and sustain an intervention. The chapters in this book were originally published as articles in the Journal of Education for Students Placed At Risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a number of books recently published on assessment scales for depression and anxiety. However, these books are generally more detailed than clinicians require, are specific to one or other condition, or involve specialty populations such as children or geriatrics.
