Download or read book The Antidote written by Oliver Burkeman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-help books don't seem to work. Few of the many advantages of modern life seem capable of lifting our collective mood. Wealth—even if you can get it—doesn't necessarily lead to happiness. Romance, family life, and work often bring as much stress as joy. We can't even agree on what "happiness" means. So are we engaged in a futile pursuit? Or are we just going about it the wrong way? Looking both east and west, in bulletins from the past and from far afield, Oliver Burkeman introduces us to an unusual group of people who share a single, surprising way of thinking about life. Whether experimental psychologists, terrorism experts, Buddhists, hardheaded business consultants, Greek philosophers, or modern-day gurus, they argue that in our personal lives, and in society at large, it's our constant effort to be happy that is making us miserable. And that there is an alternative path to happiness and success that involves embracing failure, pessimism, insecurity, and uncertainty—the very things we spend our lives trying to avoid. Thought-provoking, counterintuitive, and ultimately uplifting, The Antidote is the intelligent person's guide to understanding the much-misunderstood idea of happiness.

Download or read book Generation Clusterfu ked written by Daniella Ventresca and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book that’s long past due gives the middle finger to the clusterf*cked culture that has forged and f*cked up an entire generation, warping it away from achieving true happiness and balanced mental health. Daniella Ventresca, Social Worker, Holistic Nutritionist, and Personal Trainer, shows us that the things we’ve fervently put all our faith into—technology, social media, viral influencers, search-engine psychology, entitlement ethic, turn-over trends, etc.—have inadvertently destroyed our ability to sift fact from fiction, fulfillment from fantasy, and mental fitness from totally f*cked up. Obsessively curated social media lives have become a generational lifestyle of curated soul-searching. Drawing from a bevy of psychological and sociological research, Ventresca sheds a disturbing light on how this generation’s culture of comparison pushes us to lock up the truest parts of ourselves that don’t “measure up,” which we come to despise, and so use any means necessary—addiction, binge eating, obsessive behaviours, self-harm, etc.—to control, to suffocate, or to just avoid facing our truths. With a refreshing combination of brutal honesty and I’m-right-there-with-you-babe sisterhood support, Ventresca takes you by the hand on an aha-moment filled journey of relatable stories, cut-through-the-crap truths, and guidance that is too raw to be clickbait-worthy—but is the most authentic way to finally embrace your fears, your faults, and your f*ck-ups. Generation Clusterf*cked is a much-needed slap in the face—and a loving, empowering hug—for a generation that is desperately seeking to find self-forgiveness, self-love, fulfillment, and holistic well-being. Ultimately, this is the only way we can save us from ourselves.

Download or read book The Jailer s Reckoning written by Kevin B. Smith and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-11-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a Black man in Austin get sent to prison on a 70-year sentence for stealing a tuna sandwich, likely costing Texas taxpayers roughly a million dollars? In America, your liberty—or even your life—may be forfeit not simply because of what you do, but where you do it. If the same man had run off with a lobster roll from a lunch counter in Maine it’s unlikely that he’d be spending the rest of his life behind bars. The U.S. incarcerates more people than any other industrial democracy in the world. We have more ex-prisoners than the entire population of Ireland, and more people with a felony record than the populations of Denmark, Norway, New Zealand and Liberia combined. Why did the United States become the world’s biggest jailer? And, just as importantly, what has it done to us? What are the costs—socially, economically, and politically—of having the world’s largest population of ex-prisoners? And what can we do about it? In this landmark book, Kevin B. Smith explains that the United States became the world’s biggest jailer because politicians wanted to do something about a very real problem with violent crime. That effort was accelerated by a variety of partisan and socio-demographic trends that started to significantly reshape the political environment in the 1980s and 1990s. The force of those trends varied from state to state, but ultimately led to not just historically unprecedented levels of incarceration, but equally unprecedented numbers of ex-prisoners. Serving time behind bars is now a normalized social experience—it affects a majority of Americans directly or indirectly. There is a clear price, the jailer’s reckoning, to be paid for this. As Smith shows, it is a society with declining levels of civic cohesion, reduced economic prospects, and less political engagement. Mass incarceration turns out to be something of a hidden bomb, a social explosion that inflicts enormous civic collateral damage on the entire country, and we must all do something about it.
Download or read book Why Good People Can t Get Jobs written by Peter Cappelli and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Cappelli confronts the myth of the skills gap and provides an actionable path forward to put people back to work. Even in a time of perilously high unemployment, companies contend that they cannot find the employees they need. Pointing to a skills gap, employers argue applicants are simply not qualified; schools aren't preparing students for jobs; the government isn't letting in enough high-skill immigrants; and even when the match is right, prospective employees won't accept jobs at the wages offered. In this powerful and fast-reading book, Peter Cappelli, Wharton management professor and director of Wharton's Center for Human Resources, debunks the arguments and exposes the real reasons good people can't get hired. Drawing on jobs data, anecdotes from all sides of the employer-employee divide, and interviews with jobs professionals, he explores the paradoxical forces bearing down on the American workplace and lays out solutions that can help us break through what has become a crippling employer-employee stand-off. Among the questions he confronts: Is there really a skills gap? To what extent is the hiring process being held hostage by automated software that can crunch thousands of applications an hour? What kind of training could best bridge the gap between employer expectations and applicant realities, and who should foot the bill for it? Are schools really at fault? Named one of HR Magazine's Top 20 Most Influential Thinkers of 2011, Cappelli not only changes the way we think about hiring but points the way forward to rev America's job engine again.
