Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a quiet crisis, and we each know it when we get there. We've tried to keep busy working, shopping, being socially active, getting high, or focusing on anything else so we wouldn't have to face the terrifying feelings and thoughts that come when we slow down for a moment. The crisis comes when we've done everything we can to feel safe and happy, and we still feel sad, alone, and empty as we lie in bed exhausted each night. The question we each have to answer is, "Who do you think you are?" Because we've mistaken our identity as being "only human," we've accepted limits that do not allow for the realization of our highest potential. Up until now, we've been missing incredible opportunities to live prosperous, loving, joy filled lives! An Emergency Department crisis counselor demonstrates that we are powerful sacred-human beings, with the ability to focus our thoughts and feelings in ways that will absolutely transform our lives. With awareness and practice, we can become our sacred Selves. For those who are hungry for change, it's time to joyfully move to The Other Side of the Crisis.

Download or read book Resilient Leadership written by Karsten Drath and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intense pressures pose considerable challenges to executives striving to succeed in an environment of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. Today’s leaders are constantly fighting to make sense of their changing worlds and to make the right decisions for themselves, their teams and their business. Yet resilience is not a given. It is a dynamic competency that can be cultivated and improved and there is not just one single way to improve the resilience of a manager but actually many different ways on different levels. The author differentiates between personal resilience, the ’resilience field’ and aspects of resilient leadership so that leaders can grasp how each relates to the other and how each can be used to enhance personal and collective resilience. He lays out concrete, practical approaches for overcoming obstacles to the development of resilience at all levels-extending the capacity of the individual leader, teams, group, and organizations to sustain themselves in the face of adversity. Leaders can follow the practical steps and strategies, outlined in this guide, to enhance their capacity to withstand hardships and adversity and create an environment in which people within an organization can thrive and grow. The guidance and strategy draws from a model of resilience focused on (a) fundamental human needs as confirmed by neuroscience and (b) the consequences of not meeting these needs. These two pillars of resilience define a leader's capacity to handle change, conflict, and ‘dysfunctional beliefs’- the barriers and sticking points that undermine a leader's optimal business performance.
Download or read book Dissenting Voices in American Society written by Austin Sarat and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissenting Voices in American Society: The Role of Judges, Lawyers, and Citizens explores the status of dissent in the work and lives of judges, lawyers, and citizens, and in our institutions and culture. It brings together under the lens of critical examination dissenting voices that are usually treated separately: the protester, the academic critic, the intellectual, and the dissenting judge. It examines the forms of dissent that institutions make possible and those that are discouraged or domesticated. This book also describes the kinds of stories that dissenting voices try to tell and the narrative tropes on which those stories depend. This book is the product of an integrated series of symposia at the University of Alabama School of Law. These symposia bring leading scholars into colloquy with faculty at the law school on subjects at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary inquiry in law.
Download or read book The Making of Consumer Culture in Modern Britain written by Peter Gurney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly accepted that the consumer is now centre stage in modern Britain, rather than the worker or producer. Consumer choice is widely regarded as the major source of self-definition and identity rather than productive activity. Politicians vie with each other to fashion their appeal to 'citizen-consumers'. When and how did these profound changes occur? Which historical alternatives were pushed to the margins in the process? In what ways did the everyday consumer practices and forms of consumer organising adopted by both middle and working-class men and women shape the outcomes? This study of the making of consumer culture in Britain since 1800 explores these questions, introduces students to major debates and cuts a distinctive path through this vibrant field. It suggests that the consumer culture that emerged during this period was shaped as much by political relationships as it was by economic and social factors.
