Download or read book Un Puzzling Personalities written by Michael McGaulley Jd and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever wonder, "Why are people so doggone hard to figure out . . . and even harder to work with?" Or, "We're on the same team, so why do we clash so much on little stuff like turf and territory and operating rules and procedures and deadlines and priorities? Is there a way to get us together and get the job done?" The ultimate reality is that conflicts and tensions come not because some of those other people are plain ornery, or others are turf-warriors. The reality is that different people -with different personalities-see and react to the world in different ways. As Dr. Carl Jung, one of the founding minds of modern psychology, put it: "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." UN-PUZZLING PERSONALITIES is based on a system developed by Carl Jung. Use it for viewing yourself with fresh perspective, as well as for understanding and adapting to the different ways others perceive and react to events and communications. It's a practical guidebook with checklists, case studies, and a variety of "cheatsheets" designed to help you recognize key factors in your own core personality . . . and in the people around you, at work and in family life. The approach you will be learning to apply here -like the various Myers-Briggs systems - derives from Jung's insights. But our aim here, unlike Myers-Briggs and similar programs, is not to provide psychological insights for therapy or for career choice. Rather, it is to provide you a practical tool helping you apply Jung's insights to the real-world situations you encounter at work and in life. WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS BOOK Most books are to be read. This book is to be worked. You don't just read; rather, you will be working with the author through several applications, dialogues and mini-case studies that guide you in processing and applying the material you have covered. The point of the exercises? To help you move beyond "mere reading" and begin to apply Jung's concepts, sometimes in exercises when you get practice in using the checklists and other job aids, then in the final chapter some case studies reminiscent of people we all know. And, as a carry-away, you'll draw on-even copy and keep at hand-the checklists to help you apply your new learning back in "the real world". PRACTICAL WAYS IN WHICH THIS BOOK WILL HELP YOU It's designed to help you arrive at helpful answers to questions such as, Of the people with whom you work, what personality characteristics are key in their make-up and worldview, and what implications result? How does my "personality's world-view" differ from theirs? What implications? How can we overcome those differences? What are my-and their-typical strengths ... and vulnerabilities? How can we both compensate? How can I and they work better as a team? (If you're the team leader, or a co-worker, how can you facilitate productivity and minimize unnecessary clashes?) What shapes the way they make decisions? What steps can you take to improve your communications? Can you adjust your approach, so they "hear" you better - that is, so they become more open and attuned to what you're saying? What practical skills and insights can you develop from these differing approaches and insights? GAIN ENHANCED UNDERSTANDING OF THE CRUCIAL ELEMENTS OF PERSONALITY WITHIN YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

What emotionally manipulative tactics will you learn to identify and stop? * Gaslighting and telling you that your concern is an overreaction, or quite simply wrong. * How the silent treatment is used as punishment and forces compliance. * Playing the victim and how it transforms your issues into guilt and pity. * Your abuser's time machine and how they use it to their advantage.

Download or read book The Art of Deception written by Kevin D. Mitnick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art of Deception, the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief." Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system. With the help of many fascinating true stories of successful attacks on business and government, he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent. Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims, he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented in an engaging and highly readable style reminiscent of a true-crime novel. And, perhaps most importantly, Mitnick offers advice for preventing these types of social engineering hacks through security protocols, training programs, and manuals that address the human element of security.

Download or read book The Talent Code written by Daniel Coyle and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? This groundbreaking work provides readers with tools they can use to maximize potential in themselves and others. Whether you’re coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism. Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world’s talent hotbeds—from the baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in upstate New York—Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything. • Deep Practice Everyone knows that practice is a key to success. What everyone doesn’t know is that specific kinds of practice can increase skill up to ten times faster than conventional practice. • Ignition We all need a little motivation to get started. But what separates truly high achievers from the rest of the pack? A higher level of commitment—call it passion—born out of our deepest unconscious desires and triggered by certain primal cues. Understanding how these signals work can help you ignite passion and catalyze skill development. • Master Coaching What are the secrets of the world’s most effective teachers, trainers, and coaches? Discover the four virtues that enable these “talent whisperers” to fuel passion, inspire deep practice, and bring out the best in their students. These three elements work together within your brain to form myelin, a microscopic neural substance that adds vast amounts of speed and accuracy to your movements and thoughts. Scientists have discovered that myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation of all forms of greatness, from Michelangelo’s to Michael Jordan’s. The good news about myelin is that it isn’t fixed at birth; to the contrary, it grows, and like anything that grows, it can be cultivated and nourished. Combining revelatory analysis with illuminating examples of regular people who have achieved greatness, this book will not only change the way you think about talent, but equip you to reach your own highest potential.
