Book excerpt: Picking up where Quiet ended, How to Be Yourself is the best book you’ll ever read about how to conquer social anxiety. “This book is also a groundbreaking road map to finally being your true, authentic self.” —Susan Cain, New York Times, USA Today and nationally bestselling author of Quiet Up to 40% of people consider themselves shy. You might say you’re introverted or awkward, or that you're fine around friends but just can't speak up in a meeting or at a party. Maybe you're usually confident but have recently moved or started a new job, only to feel isolated and unsure. If you get nervous in social situations—meeting your partner's friends, public speaking, standing awkwardly in the elevator with your boss—you've probably been told, “Just be yourself!” But that's easier said than done—especially if you're prone to social anxiety. Weaving together cutting-edge science, concrete tips, and the compelling stories of real people who have risen above their social anxiety, Dr. Ellen Hendriksen proposes a groundbreaking idea: you already have everything you need to succeed in any unfamiliar social situation. As someone who lives with social anxiety, Dr. Hendriksen has devoted her career to helping her clients overcome the same obstacles she has. With familiarity, humor, and authority, Dr. Hendriksen takes the reader through the roots of social anxiety and why it endures, how we can rewire our brains through our behavior, and—at long last—exactly how to quiet your Inner Critic, the pesky voice that whispers, "Everyone will judge you." Using her techniques to develop confidence, think through the buzz of anxiety, and feel comfortable in any situation, you can finally be your true, authentic self.
Download or read book Rocking Qualitative Social Science written by Ashley T. Rubin and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other athletes, the rock climber tends to disregard established norms of style and technique, doing whatever she needs to do to get to the next foothold. This figure provides an apt analogy for the scholar at the center of this unique book. In Rocking Qualitative Social Science, Ashley Rubin provides an entertaining treatise, corrective vision, and rigorously informative guidebook for qualitative research methods that have long been dismissed in deference to traditional scientific methods. Recognizing the steep challenges facing many, especially junior, social science scholars who struggle to adapt their research models to narrowly defined notions of "right," Rubin argues that properly nourished qualitative research can generate important, creative, and even paradigm-shifting insights. This book is designed to help people conduct good qualitative research, talk about their research, and evaluate other scholars' work. Drawing on her own experiences in research and life, Rubin provides tools for qualitative scholars, synthesizes the best advice, and addresses the ubiquitous problem of anxiety in academia. Ultimately, this book argues that rigorous research can be anything but rigid.

Book excerpt: LESS BLAH BLAH - MORE AH HA - How Social Savvy Real Estate Agents Become Trusted, Preferred, Referred -- and Rewarded. This Book Is for YOU If You Relate to One or More of These Groups. Lifelong Learners are always stretching, growing, and searching for interesting ways to renew and enhance their value. The strategies in this book will contribute to your ongoing curiosity and desire to excel mentally, creatively, and professionally. Aspirationals like to soak up fresh information, engage in new experiences, and glide forward towards mastery. In this book I'm offering you some new ways of thinking and acting that will help catapult you to higher, more tangibly rewarding levels of success. Temporary Strugglers feel frustrated and stuck? You're determined to succeed, but no matter how hard you work, it seems your sincere efforts lead to dead-end rejection and stuck-going-nowhere stress. What I want to assure you is this: It's not your fault!! More importantly, there's nothing wrong with you. The problem is that you've been mistaught, or you've on-your-own stumbled into the soul-sucking quicksand of doing the wrong things with the wrong people at the wrong time. In this book I share how you can immediately begin to enjoy the personal rewards of respect, trust, sweet success, and an income equal to your goals. Here's The Problem . . . Hateful real estate market conditions are traumatic enough without the compound fracture of sizzling competition and sky-high consumer expectations. Old school selfish-selling styles, along with chasing strangers, spamming friends, capturing leads and other unattractive behaviors, cause you and me and hundreds of thousands of real estate agents to struggle for relevance, value and self-respect. Here's The Solution . . . My book shines a flood light on how to create modern success and self-respect by focusing on others; how to listen, share, communicate and serve real people in the real world - a place where selfish sales strategies, arrogance and insensitivity are shunned. I'll lead you through the three stages of Social Savvy Success. In Stage One you discover the philosophical foundations for becoming more visible, choosable, and referable. In short, how to attract, instead of chase. In Chapters One to Eight you'll learn precisely what business you are really in; The Two True Secrets to Success; and the high-impact dynamics of Top of Mind Awareness. But as we all know, it's not enough just to know what to do. Most fail to get where they're trying to go because they get in their our own way. Stage Two of the book acknowledges and addresses the self-imposed emotional and mental obstacles that stop us moving forward. Chapters Nine through Thirteen cover how to face and consciously-conquer subconscious fears; slay self-doubt; why it's wise to use psychographics to connect with your tribes, networks, and niches; what The Golden Rule 2.0 is all about, and why we can't win without it. Of course no modern book would be complete without a chapter on how to ride the social media wave; enhance character-confirmation: and become discoverable, findable and sharable (aka, how to become omnipresent). Once we know how and why things work and how to get out of our own way, it's time to apply some practical, simple-to-follow ideas that will help you attract, discover, and create new opportunities. Stage Three (Chapters Fourteen to Twenty-Three) shares forty instantly implementable action events that put everything you've learned into play - becoming trusted, choosable, referable - and rewarded.

Download or read book Crafty Oligarchs Savvy Voters written by Shandana Khan Mohmand and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does democracy empower marginalized voters under conditions of inequality? The author probes into this question grounding her research in the context of Pakistan, an emerging democracy whose voters have actively been involved in defining its political history but about whom we know very little. They turn up in sizeable numbers to vote during elections, even under military rule, prompting all kinds of contradictory stereotypes about how Pakistani rural voters behave as electoral cannon fodder. But no one has looked very closely at why they vote as they do, or why they vote at all when their political agency is severely limited by high socio-economic inequality. By using original data collected across different villages and households in rural Pakistan, this book finds that electoral politics enables even the most marginalized voters to strategically further their interests vis-à-vis elite groups, but that persistent inequality limits their ability to organize or compete.
Download or read book Risk Savvy written by Gerd Gigerenzer and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating, practical guide to making better decisions with our money, health and personal lives from Gerd Gigerenzer, the author of Reckoning with Risk. Risk-taking is essential for innovation, fun, and the courage to face the uncertainties in life. Yet for many important decisions, we're often presented with statistics and probabilities that we don't really understand and we inevitably rely on experts in the relevant fields - policy makers, financial advisors, doctors - to analyse and choose for us. But what if they don't quite understand the way the information is presented either? How do we make sure we're asking doctors the right questions about proposed treatment? Is there a rule of thumb that could help choose the right partner? This entertaining book shows us how to recognize when we don't have all the information and know what to do about it. Gerd Gigerenzer looks at examples from every aspect of life to identify the reasons for our collective misunderstanding of the risks we face. He shows how we can all use simple rules to avoid being manipulated into unrealistic fears or hopes, to make better-informed decisions, and to learn to understand risk and uncertainty in our own lives. 'Gigerenzer is brilliant and his topic is fabulous' Steven Pinker 'Catchily optimistic and slyly funny' Guardian Gerd Gigerenzer is Director of the Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin and former Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. He is the author of several books on heuristics and decision making, including Reckoning with Risk.
