Download or read book Reframing the Problem of Climate Change written by Klaus Hasselmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an evaluation of the science and policy debates on climate change and offers a reframing of the challenges they pose, as understood by key international experts and players in the field. It also gives an important and original perspective on interpreting climate action and provides compelling evidence of the weakness of arguments that frame climate policy as a win-or-lose situation. At the same time, the book goes beyond providing yet another description of climate change trends and policy processes. Its goal is to make available, in a series of in-depth reflections and insights by key international figures representing science, business, finance and civil society, what is really needed to link knowledge to action. Different contributions convincingly show that it is time – and possible – to reframe the climate debate in a completely new light, perhaps as a system transformative attractor for new green growth, sustainable development, and technological innovation. Reframing the Problem of Climate Change reflects a deep belief that dealing with climate change does not have to be a zero sum game, with winners and losers. The contributors argue that our societies can learn to respond to the challenge it presents and avoid both human suffering and large scale destruction of ecosystems; and that this does not necessarily require economic sacrifice. Therefore, it is vital reading for students, academics and policy makers involved in the debate surrounding climate change.

Download or read book Literacy Reframe written by Robin Fogarty and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For decades, the education system has poured time, money, and effort into helping young students learn to read well, but nearly every attempt at reforming literacy among the youth has failed. So instead of reforming, why not reframe? Literacy Reframed seeks to reframe literacy in the education system by removing the current obsession with examinations and skill work. Instead, authors Robin J. Fogarty, Gene M. Kerns, and Brian M. Pete introduce the three pillars of literacy: phonics, vocabulary, and knowledge, which serve to create a reading environment built on students' continual acquisition of knowledge and need to learn. By reading The Big Three, educators will learn how to create literacy-reframed classrooms, where students are consumed by the sound of reading, engrossed by the words on the page, and thirsting to learn more about anything and everything"--
Download or read book The Infinite Game written by Simon Sinek and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, a bold framework for leadership in today’s ever-changing world. How do we win a game that has no end? Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers—only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new book, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. On one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet these rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a Just Cause, we will commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we will build it week after week, month after month, year after year. Although we do not know the exact form this world will take, working toward it gives our work and our life meaning. Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future.
Download or read book Stop Apologising and Start Living A Journey to Self Acceptance written by Gaurav Garg and published by Gaurav Garg. This book was released on 2024-08-10 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well, hello there, brave soul. Fancy meeting you here, in the pages of a book about living unapologetically. I'm guessing you, like me, have spent far too much of your life saying "sorry" for things that don't warrant an apology. Things like existing, having opinions, or *gasp* taking up space in this vast, crazy world of ours. Let me tell you a secret: I never meant to write this book. In fact, I almost apologized to my publisher for pitching it. Ironic, isn't it? But here's the thing – that moment, that almost-apology, was the very reason I knew this book needed to exist. You see, I'm a reformed apologizer. A recovered sorry-aholic, if you will. I used to apologize for everything – for being too tall, for being too ambitious, for wanting more out of life than what was handed to me. I even apologized to a chair once when I bumped into it. (Yes, really. No, the chair didn't accept my apology. Rude.) But one day, something snapped. Maybe it was the time I apologized for getting promoted, or when I said sorry for winning an award. Whatever it was, I realized I was diminishing my own light, shrinking myself to make others comfortable. And so began my journey towards unapologetic living. It wasn't easy. There were stumbles, backslides, and moments where I found myself apologizing for not apologizing. But slowly, surely, I began to stand tall (all 5'11" of me), to speak my mind, and to live life on my own terms. This book is the culmination of that journey. It's part self-help guide, part personal narrative, and part kick in the pants for anyone who's ever felt they needed permission to be themselves. Fair warning: this isn't your typical self-help book. You won't find any promises of overnight transformation or secret formulas for success. What you will find is honesty, humor, and a healthy dose of tough love. Oh, and probably a few typos – because I refuse to apologize for being imperfectly human. In these pages, we'll explore why we apologize so damn much, how to stop, and what life looks like on the other side of "sorry". We'll laugh (mostly at my expense), we might cry (no judgment), and we'll definitely challenge some deeply ingrained beliefs about our place in the world. So, if you're ready to ditch the unnecessary apologies, to stand in your power, and to live life unapologetically, then buckle up, buttercup. It's going to be one hell of a ride. And remember: you have nothing to apologize for.

Download or read book VisuaLeadership written by Todd Cherches and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VisuaLeadership [noun]: The art and science of applying visual thinking and visual communication tools, tips, and techniques, in order to turn your vision into reality. If a picture is worth a thousand words, and finding the right words takes time, and time is money, then wouldn’t it follow that business leaders could make more money—in less time—if they simply took a more “visual” approach to how they manage and lead? Okay, it’s not quite that simple…but VisuaLeadership will forever change the way you think and communicate by showing how you can quickly and easily leverage the power of visual imagery, mental models, metaphor, analogy, storytelling, and humor to help you take your game to a whole new level. The French novelist Marcel Proust famously wrote that, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.” So, if your vision is to become a better communicator and presenter, a more innovative thinker, a more productive performer, a more efficient manager, a more effective coach, or a more visionary and inspirational leader, then this exciting new book will open your “mind’s eye” to a whole new world: The world of VisuaLeadership. “Have you added visual communication to your leadership toolbox? According to Todd Cherches, if you haven’t, you’re missing out on a powerful tool to capture attention, aid comprehension, and enable your team members to retain the information you need them to use. Packed with examples, VisuaLeadership will help you develop this skill so that you can become a better communicator, innovator, and leader.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of When and Drive “The most effective communicators and leaders use the power of story to influence and inspire action. In VisuaLeadership, Cherches demonstrates how every role can express their ideas through the use of visual imagery and visual language. This book will help anyone discover how to become a visual leader.” —Nancy Duarte, CEO and bestselling author “I always say that ‘what got you here…won’t get you there.’ To help you ‘get there,’ executive coach Todd Cherches, in his wonderful new book, VisuaLeadership, demonstrates how we can all leverage the power of visual thinking to envision—and to achieve—a more successful future.” —Marshall Goldsmith, the world’s #1 Leadership Thinker and Executive Coach

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First off, let me start by saying congratulations! By picking up this book, you've already taken the first step on an incredible journey. A journey that, I promise you, is more exciting than finding money in your old coat pocket and more rewarding than finally mastering the art of parallel parking. Now, I know what you might be thinking. "Another self-help book? Isn't this just going to tell me to do yoga, drink green smoothies, and journal my feelings?" Well, hold onto your skepticism, my friend, because this isn't your average, run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter guide to inner peace. This book is a rollercoaster ride through the landscape of human emotions - but don't worry, it's the kind of rollercoaster that's more exhilarating than terrifying, and you won't need a barf bag (though keep some tissues handy, because we might hit you in the feels a few times). What's In Store for You? In the pages that follow, we're going to embark on a grand adventure. We'll traverse the peaks of joy, wade through the valleys of sorrow, and navigate the winding paths of everything in between. Along the way, we'll: Explore the art of letting go (spoiler alert: it's not just about decluttering your closet) Learn how to embrace change without feeling like you're free-falling without a parachute Discover how to love yourself, flaws and all (yes, even that weird thing you do when you're nervous) Master the ninja-like skills of emotional resilience And ultimately, find a path to true emotional freedom (no, this doesn't mean you'll never feel sad again - we're aiming for freedom, not robotic indifference) Who is This Book For? This book is for you if: You've ever felt stuck, like you're running on a hamster wheel of emotions You find yourself replaying arguments in your head, coming up with perfect comebacks weeks too late Your emotional baggage is so heavy, you'd have to pay extra if emotions were airlines You want to feel more in control of your reactions, instead of feeling like a puppet to your feelings You're ready for a change, but the idea of change also makes you want to hide under your blanket You're curious about this whole "emotional freedom" thing, but you're pretty sure it's just for monks and people who do yoga at 5am In other words, this book is for humans. Imperfect, messy, beautiful humans who are doing their best to navigate this wild ride we call life. A Word of Warning Now, I feel it's my duty to warn you: this journey isn't always going to be easy. There will be moments when you'll want to throw this book across the room (please don't, unless you're reading the e-book version, in which case, throw away). There will be times when you'll face uncomfortable truths about yourself. You might cry. You might laugh. You might do both at the same time and worry about your sanity. But here's the thing: that's all part of the process. Growth isn't always comfortable, but it's always worth it. And I promise you, the view from the other side is spectacular. My Promise to You As we embark on this journey together, here's what I promise you: I will be honest with you, even when it's uncomfortable I will challenge you, but I will never leave you hanging I will share real, practical strategies that you can apply in your everyday life I will respect your intelligence and won't sugar-coat things I will do my best to make this journey not just enlightening, but also enjoyable (prepare for dad jokes and pop culture references) Are You Ready? So, dear reader, are you ready to embark on this adventure? Are you ready to laugh, to cry, to grow, and to discover a version of yourself that's freer and more authentically you than you ever thought possible?
Download or read book Playing with Feelings written by Aubrey Anable and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How gaming intersects with systems like history, bodies, and code Why do we so compulsively play video games? Might it have something to do with how gaming affects our emotions? In Playing with Feelings, scholar Aubrey Anable applies affect theory to game studies, arguing that video games let us “rehearse” feelings, states, and emotions that give new tones and textures to our everyday lives and interactions with digital devices. Rather than thinking about video games as an escape from reality, Anable demonstrates how video games—their narratives, aesthetics, and histories—have been intimately tied to our emotional landscape since the emergence of digital computers. Looking at a wide variety of video games—including mobile games, indie games, art games, and games that have been traditionally neglected by academia—Anable expands our understanding of the ways in which these games and game studies can participate in feminist and queer interventions in digital media culture. She gives a new account of the touchscreen and intimacy with our mobile devices, asking what it means to touch and be touched by a game. She also examines how games played casually throughout the day create meaningful interludes that give us new ways of relating to work in our lives. And Anable reflects on how games allow us to feel differently about what it means to fail. Playing with Feelings offers provocative arguments for why video games should be seen as the most significant art form of the twenty-first century and gives the humanities passionate, incisive, and daring arguments for why games matter.
