Book excerpt: Many books have been written about the vices and deviant nature of human beingsnot so much about the depth, beauty, and nature of human potential. This guidebook to living a more fulfilling and productive life focuses on three phases of human behavior, and how progressing through them will help you achieve better and greater things. Phase 1 behavior is when you tear others down to lift yourself up. If you habitually practice this behavior, your reward will be jealousy, enviousness, and hatefulness. Phase 2 behavior is when you develop skills and talents that allow you to stand out in a crowd. This behavior is constructive and leads to many social benefits. Phase 3 behavior is the crowning achievement of human behavior because it revolves around lifting others up. Once you taste phase three behavior, you will never want to go back to lower levels of behavior, because it feels better. Filled with illustrations, anecdotes, and real-life examples exploring how to progress through the three phases, youll be inspired to live a more fulfilling, influential, and productive life with the lessons in Rising Above it All.

Download or read book Rising Above the Gathering Storm Revisited written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-10-23 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of so many daunting near-term challenges, U.S. government and industry are letting the crucial strategic issues of U.S. competitiveness slip below the surface. Five years ago, the National Academies prepared Rising Above the Gathering Storm, a book that cautioned: "Without a renewed effort to bolster the foundations of our competitiveness, we can expect to lose our privileged position." Since that time we find ourselves in a country where much has changed-and a great deal has not changed. So where does America stand relative to its position of five years ago when the Gathering Storm book was prepared? The unanimous view of the authors is that our nation's outlook has worsened. The present volume, Rising Above the Gathering Storm, Revisited, explores the tipping point America now faces. Addressing America's competitiveness challenge will require many years if not decades; however, the requisite federal funding of much of that effort is about to terminate. Rising Above the Gathering Storm, Revisited provides a snapshot of the work of the government and the private sector in the past five years, analyzing how the original recommendations have or have not been acted upon, what consequences this may have on future competitiveness, and priorities going forward. In addition, readers will find a series of thought- and discussion-provoking factoids-many of them alarming-about the state of science and innovation in America. Rising Above the Gathering Storm, Revisited is a wake-up call. To reverse the foreboding outlook will require a sustained commitment by both individual citizens and government officials-at all levels. This book, together with the original Gathering Storm volume, provides the roadmap to meet that goal. While this book is essential for policy makers, anyone concerned with the future of innovation, competitiveness, and the standard of living in the United States will find this book an ideal tool for engaging their government representatives, peers, and community about this momentous issue.
