Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've heard of the "Great Books"? These are their evil opposites. From Machiavelli's The Prince to Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto to Alfred Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, these "influential" books have led to war, genocide, totalitarian oppression, family breakdown, and disastrous social experiments. And yet these authors' bad ideas are still popular and pervasive--in fact, they might influence your own thinking without your realizing it. Here with the antidote is Professor Benjamin Wiker. In his scintillating new book, 10 Books That Screwed Up the World (And 5 Others That Didn't Help), he seizes each of these evil books by its malignant heart and exposes it to the light of day.

Book excerpt: In the UK it is is said that 1 in 4 people has a mental health problem. This means that 3 in 4 don't. This is simply not true. We all have our screw ups. Maybe what we should say is that 1 in 4 people is currently experiencing some kind of mental health problem that is getting in the way of their day-to-day lives. In this down-to-earth, jargon-free book, Dawn uses her experience from working with hundreds of clients as a therapist, and from her own abusive childhood, to explore the problems we all experience as adults. She will help you realise that we are all screwed up, and that it doesn't stop you functioning. She will help you understand where common problems such as depression, anxiety and addictions come from, and give you some approaches to overcome them. If you have a problem with a car, you get a mechanic to help you. If you have a problem with a muscle, you go to a physiotherapist. Why is it when you have a problem with your head you assume you should be able to work it out on your own?Everyone is screwed up. Most people function perfectly well despite their screw ups.
Download or read book Are We Screwed written by Geoff Dembicki and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A declaration of independence, and a call for systemic change, from the generation that will be most impacted by climate change. If anyone doubted the potential political power of the Millennial generation, Bernie Sanders' campaign put it in the spotlight. Are We Screwed? makes clear that the ardor for change defines this generation, especially when it comes to climate change, and they are willing to consider options that their elders might think naive and impractical, rejecting a capitalism that cares only about profit and a political system riven by false ideology. In telling the stories of his contemporaries around the globe, in describing how they think and the many ways they are already effecting change, Geoff Dembicki documents a historic shift in values and a corresponding re-thinking of how social change can happen.As of this year, the millennial generation (18- to 34-year-olds) will become North America's largest demographic. It is also the generation that has lived with the looming reality of global warming and will be most affected by its impacts. In vividly reported dispatches from Beijing to Paris, from San Francisco to New York, Dembicki examines what millennial responses to climate change look like and how they are shaping our future. He also provides an essential perspective on how climate change is intensifying generational tensions and shifts in society. In the process, a portrait of a generation emerges that goes a long way toward re-branding it in ways that are positive and full of hope for the future.

Download or read book Permission to Screw Up written by Kristen Hadeed and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring, unlikely, laugh-out-loud story of how one woman learned to lead–and how she ultimately succeeded, not despite her many mistakes, but because of them. This is the story of how Kristen Hadeed built Student Maid, a cleaning company where people are happy, loyal, productive, and empowered, even while they’re mopping floors and scrubbing toilets. It’s the story of how she went from being an almost comically inept leader to a sought-after CEO who teaches others how to lead. Hadeed unintentionally launched Student Maid while attending college ten years ago. Since then, Student Maid has employed hundreds of students and is widely recognized for its industry-leading retention rate and its culture of trust and accountability. But Kristen and her company were no overnight sensation. In fact, they were almost nothing at all. Along the way, Kristen got it wrong almost as often as she got it right. Giving out hugs instead of feedback, fixing errors instead of enforcing accountability, and hosting parties instead of cultivating meaningful relationships were just a few of her many mistakes. But Kristen’s willingness to admit and learn from those mistakes helped her give her people the chance to learn from their own screwups too. Permission to Screw Up dismisses the idea that leaders and organizations should try to be perfect. It encourages people of all ages to go for it and learn to lead by acting, rather than waiting or thinking. Through a brutally honest and often hilarious account of her own struggles, Kristen encourages us to embrace our failures and proves that we’ll be better leaders when we do.

Book excerpt: In Gettin' There, bestselling author Steve Farrar delves into the book of Psalms to give men a new sense of continuity, direction, purpose, and perspective. The Psalms are like a marked trail through life, showing that others have walked ahead and faced many of the challenges, temptations, heartaches, and perplexities that men will encounter on their journeys. Farrar shows that when a man begins to understand that the strong and caring hand of God is sovereign over everything in his life -- including his trials and heartaches -- his confidence, hope, and joy will increase dramatically in the God who created him and desires to use him.
Download or read book We re ALL SCREWED written by Stephen A. Boyko and published by Traders Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You hear it all the time: Think outside the box. But those who purport to protect us with rules and regulations don t do their thinking inside comfy, three-dimensional boxes. They are stuck inside cramped, one-dimensional squares. The world isn t square. It isn t even flat. It s varied, fast-paced, and changing. You re along for the ride whether you like it or not; the good old days got outsourced overseas. Whether it s the small-time thugs who make business owners pay for protection or bureaucrats who promise the masses that rule writing will cure all that ails, America can t take it anymore. In We re All Screwed, financial regulation industry insider Stephen A. Boyko explains how creativity and three-dimensional thinking are the best tools for developing a governance plan. With input from top professionals and entrepreneurs, Boyko outlines a nonlinear approach to governance that works in any area of the world. Boyko envisions a future where America can be a contender. He shatters the pretence of regulatory protection, explaining that linear approaches to governance and subsidized risk never worked and never will. Boyko illustrates how entities meant to govern capital markets have created false hierarchies, false protection, and false promises, saddling Americans with restrictive, obsolete, one-size-fits-all lists of incomprehensible, ineffective rules. Enough is enough! There is a better way. Heeding Boyko s advice is not the gamble; hugging outdated rules around you like the fuzzy gauze of pseudo security is the real risk.
