Book excerpt: They have a dream - a dream of a world where everything and everybody can be bought and sold, a world run efficiently by managers, a world where 'freedom' means the free market. Maurice Glasman argues that this dream is an unrealisable utopia - or a nightmare if put into practice. He takes the management-speak cliches of the New Right, and New Labour alike and turns them on their head: managers are not efficient, they are a barrier to work and production; 'liberal democracy' - which now means the free market and the strong state - should be turned upside down, with democracy at the level of the economy and liberalism at the level of the state. Drawing on the work of Karl Polanyi, Glasman argues that there is no need to surrender solidarity and human rights to the march of the managers and the market. There is another tradition, represented by the labour movement and the Catholic church in West Germany, which defended democracy in the workplace and reined back the savageries of capitalism. It was the tradition that Solidarity in Poland could have looked to after 1989, instead of allowing itself to be hijacked by the New Right and statist communitarianism. Unnecessary Suffering examines this tradition and issues a call that cries out that human beings and the environment cannot, should not, and will not be treated as commodities.

Download or read book Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering written by Scott Samuelson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This philosophical inquiry into the problem of human suffering is “insightful, informative and deeply humane . . . a genuine pleasure to read” (Times Higher Education). Suffering is an inescapable part of the human condition—which leads to a question that has proved just as inescapable throughout the centuries: Why? In Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering, Scott Samuelson tackles this fundamental question. To do so, he travels through the history of philosophy and religion, while attending closely to the world we live in. Samuelson draws insight from sources that range from Confucius to Bugs Bunny, and from his time teaching philosophy to prisoners to Hannah Arendt’s attempts to come to terms with the Holocaust. Samuelson guides us through various attempts to explain why we suffer, explores the many ways we try to minimize or eliminate suffering, and examines people’s approaches to living with pointless suffering. Ultimately, Samuelson shows, to be fully human means to acknowledge a mysterious paradox: we must simultaneously accept suffering and oppose it. And understanding that is itself a step towards acceptance.

Download or read book The Antidote to Suffering How Compassionate Connected Care Can Improve Safety Quality and Experience written by Christina Dempsey and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indispensable guide to reducing the suffering―of patients and caregivers alike―and to improving healthcare delivery for all In our efforts to treat patients, cure illness, and manage institutions, healthcare professionals too often overlook the fundamental purpose everyone in the industry shares: to alleviate suffering. Press Ganey’s Chief Nursing Officer, Christina Dempsey, has worked everywhere in healthcare, from the ward floor to the hospital boardroom. She has also experienced the system as a patient and as a family member of a critically ill patient. In The Antidote to Suffering, this 30-year healthcare veteran and patient-experience thought leader argues that the key to improving healthcare is to reduce the suffering—physical, psychological, and emotional—of patients and caregivers alike through Compassionate Connected CareTM. Drawing on her 360-degree perspective, Dempsey offers a comprehensive, detailed, evidence-based plan that addresses the clinical, operational, cultural, and behavioral dimensions of care that every patient and caregiver experiences, in every setting. When suffering decreases, Dempsey argues, outcomes improve for patients and those who care for them. A virtuous cycle takes hold, leading to increases in morale, loyalty, and productivity and results in a culture that drives quality, safety, and value. It paves the path for creating a new national healthcare culture—one that values compassion, fosters efficiency, and drives innovation The Antidote to Suffering is the first book to explore the pervasiveness of suffering in our healthcare system, and to provide the strategies and tools to: * Identify and measure suffering throughout your organization * Create a system in which every clinical response is informed by compassion * Operationalize staff behavior to promote meaning and purpose * Increase productivity by building a culture of collaboration Reducing human suffering isn’t just a moral imperative for healthcare providers. It’s a practical way to improve organizations and fix our broken system—without sacrificing the respect, dignity, and compassion we all deserve.

She later became involved with a young man who was nice in the beginning of the relationship, however later became abusive and dared her to leave. Although a scared and depressed young woman, she remained in the relationship that later resulted in marriage because she wanted her children to grow up with their father, not the way she grew up.

Download or read book Suffering and Joy written by Richard Palanza and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we view the ways in which others perceive us dramatically influences how our personalities develop. In essence, relationship is all. All parts relate to the whole and the whole incorporates all of its parts. Relationships are the most important aspects of our lives. In fact, they constitute who we are. Understanding their true nature is essential to the development and evolution of personal enlightenment. Relationships impact our view of life as a series of opportunities or misfortunes. We should understand this force in our lives because it speaks to whether we develop an optimistic or pessimistic outlook, whether we feel rejected and abandoned or accepted and loved, worthy or unworthy, deserving or undeserving. Suffering and Joy is a brief memoir that focuses on the personal life experiences of an old man as he reflects on the turning points and influences in his life. It's a sensitive and telling account of the demons we all carry and the quest of one thoughtful man to unravel the mystery of why this is so. Inspired by the love for his only grandson, the author embarks on a spiritual journey through his own inner life experience.
