Covey’s most profound teachings on business, success, management, family, and love. Stephen R. Covey passed away in July 2012, leaving behind an unmatched legacy with his teachings about leadership, time management, effectiveness, success, and even love and family. A multimillion-copy bestselling author of self-help and business classics, Dr. Covey strove to help readers recognize the key elements that would lead them to personal and professional effectiveness. His seminal work, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, transformed the way people act on their problems with a compelling, logical, and well-defined process. Indeed, many of the habits have been assimilated into everyday thinking and everyday conversation. For example, the expressions “win/win” and “first things first,” to name a few, have been incorporated into almost every business culture around the world. The Wisdom and Teachings of Stephen R. Covey is a compilation of Dr. Covey’s most insightful, inspiring teachings and sayings. His profound influence spread beyond businesses and individuals and was even integrated into governments, school systems, and many other institutions with great success. This book covers his most impactful topics: time management, success, leadership—including principle-centered leadership—all of the 7 Habits, love, and family. This powerful collection is a lasting tribute to the inspirational luminary that so many will miss.
Download or read book Wisdom Analytics and Wicked Problems written by Ali Intezari and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges faced by 21st-century businesses, organizations and governments are characterized as being fundamentally different in nature, scope and levels of impact from those of the past. As problems become increasingly complex and wicked, conventional reductive approaches and data-based solutions are limited. The authors argue that practical wisdom is required. This book provides an integral and practical model for incorporating wisdom into management decision making. Based on a cross-disciplinary conceptualization of practical wisdom, the authors distinguish systematically between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom-based decision making. While they suggest that data, analytics, information and knowledge can assist decision-makers to better deal with complex and wicked problems, they argue that data-based systems cannot replace optimized human decision-making capabilities. These capabilities, the authors explain, include a range of qualities and characteristics inherent in philosophical, psychological and organizational conceptions of practical wisdom. Accordingly, in this book, the authors introduce a model that identifies the specific qualities and processes involved in making wise decisions, especially in management. The model is based on the empirical fi ndings of the authors’ studies in the areas of wisdom and management. This book is a practical resource for professionals, practitioners, and consultants in both the private and public sectors. The theoretical discussions, critical arguments, and practical guidelines provided in the book will be extremely valuable to students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as upper-level postdoctoral researchers looking at business management strategies.

Download or read book A Time for Wisdom written by Paul T. McLaughlin and published by Templeton Foundation Press. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are volatile times. Fear, suspicion, and cynicism are chronic. A mere tweet inflames the passions of millions while click-bait “hot takes” stoke the amygdalas of everyone with an Internet connection. We treat those not in our tribe as a threat and deem anyone with a different opinion as evil. Mistaking myopia for measure, we lack all sense of proportion in our judgments. We are shortsighted, mired in the present, ignorant of history, and blind to the future. We thought that technology would save us by connecting us to each other and the world’s information. Instead, it enticed our vices, encouraged our biases, and eroded the one virtue we need now more than ever: wisdom. A Time for Wisdom is for readers who feel beleaguered by the incivility of the modern world, dispirited by its coarse rhetoric and toxic partisanship. It is an invitation to escape the shallow cacophony and restore peace and perspective to our daily lives. Written by two psychologists, the book takes the best scientific research on wisdom and integrates it with timeless concepts that have, for ages, guided troubled souls through life’s hardships. From this foundation, the authors present four steps we can follow to practice wisdom in the 21st Century: Receiving knowledge. Practicing detachment. Experiencing tranquility. Cultivating transcendence. These are profound and spiritual principles that can bring us immense satisfaction when we aspire to live by them. In A Time for Wisdom, the authors show us how. They commend a course of action towards the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, towards calm and clear moral reasoning. They lead us out of the circus of contemporary life and show us a path beyond our petty self-centeredness. By journeying along that path, we can, like the great sages and scientists before us, rise above the immediacy of the moment and partake of the numinous and the infinite.

Who was the Buddha? Siddhartha Gautama, a prince born in Nepal more than 2500 years ago, gave up all of his worldly possessions at the age of 29 and went on a journey to understand the true nature of human existence. After almost seven years of intense concentration and self-deprivation, Gautama found the answers while sitting in deep meditation beneath a Bodhi tree. At that moment, Gautama became "The Enlightened One" - the Buddha. He spent the next 45 years traveling throughout northern India and Nepal, teaching thousands upon thousands of disciples the way to end suffering and to achieve enlightenment. Importantly, the Buddha insisted that the Truth led away from him, and instead towards our inner selves. This is why the Buddha is not worshipped like a god. Rather, he is revered as a great teacher. He was just a man who became enlightened, and who showed the world that each of us could become enlightened too. Today, over 500 million people in every corner of the world call themselves Buddhists. Why? Because millions of people have discovered for themselves how the Buddha's teachings can bring relief from suffering and fill their beings with joy. This is the beauty and simplicity of Buddhism: The keys to unlocking unbounded happiness and joy are inside of you right now, and there is a simple but powerful way to access these keys and begin to live a more fulfilling, loving, and compassionate life immediately. Start each day with wisdom from one of history's greatest teachers - the Buddha himself. Let his words inspire action so that every day becomes better than the last.
