Download or read book Mindsharing written by Lior Zoref and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether we need to make better financial choices, find the love of our life, or transform our career, crowdsourcing is the key to making quicker, wiser, more objective decisions. But few of us even come close to tapping the full potential of our online personal networks. Lior Zoref offers proven guidelines for applying what he calls "mind sharing" in new ways. For instance, he shows how a mother's Facebook update saved the life of a four-year-old boy, and how a manager used LinkedIn to create a year's worth of market research in less than a day. Zoref's clients are using his techniques to innovate and problem-solve in record time. Now he reveals how crowdsourcing has the ability to supercharge our thinking and upgrade every aspect of our lives.
Download or read book The Dangers of the Crowd written by Justus Izuchukwu Onuh and published by Justus Izuchukwu Onuh. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, “The Danger of the Crowd” evokes a feeling of agoraphobia by its title, but upon reading the content, one would be accompanied into a world of anamnesis by a reflective seminarian whose creative mind is second to none. The book is premised in the uniqueness of an individual and his inherent potential of making it to the high echelons of life without necessarily being a man of the crowd; that is, someone whose decisions and actions are being determined by the crowd. Suffice it to say that greatness evolves from singleness, in the right disposition of it; while failure might take its root from the influence of the crowd. By dint of birth, we are launched into the world just as death takes us away from the world. The two events are imperative accounts of our mission here on earth and they are divine calls which must be answered by an individual alone. This makes our individualities a necessary seed to fertilize the larger goal of life, our life’s purpose. Aptly, Izuchukwu Onuh uses eagle eyes to narrate the contemporary challenges in our society which stem from our personal lifestyles and misunderstood self-identities and how these challenges blunt the edges of our social life and make the social system a rotten one. Deploying moving stories and garnished styles of writing, he calls our minds to a life of quietude and solitude, the very state in which God can be encountered and good decisions made. A masterpiece, this book is as timely as it is all-round nourishing, especially in the present Nigerian situation that is challenged daily by noise: many speakers and few listeners. Take this book and do a simple exercise: withdraw from talking and listen to the author’s voice and your own responding voice that would soon form a paragon, a promising breed!
Download or read book A Seat in the Crowd written by Paul Windridge and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02-26 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Seat in the Crowd" is about travelling the length and breadth of England and Europe in order to watch Manchester United. It is about the lifelong journey of two supporters (with the help of one or two friends along the way) who have been following their club for over 40 years each. A lifetime's support which has enjoyed a renaissance over the last decade due to the superb management of Alex Ferguson, who has taken the team, and consequently us too, to heights never before scaled. At the start of any season no-one can possibly know the outcome. Plenty think they do, but that is mere blind faith. It is an adventure which happens every year and these last few years have been very special to United supporters and most especially to us. Through the internet and the Manchester United mailing lists some of us have found friendship which will last the test of time. Apart from family, none of us mentioned in this book knew each other four years ago, but we are now a group of friends who have become an extended family. "A Seat in the Crowd" is just as much about these people as it is about the team on the pitch.

Download or read book Criminal Psychology and the Criminal Justice System in India and Beyond written by Sanjeev P. Sahni and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a focused and comprehensive overview of criminal psychology in different socio-economic and psycho-sociological contexts. It informs readers on the role of psychology in the various aspects of the criminal justice process, starting from the investigation of a crime to the rehabilitation or reintegration of the offender. Current research in criminology and psychology has been discussed to understand the minds of various offenders, how to interact with them during investigation and conviction effectively and how to bring about positive changes in various stages of the criminal justice process—investigation, prosecution, incarceration, rehabilitation—to increase the efficacy of the correctional system and improve public confidence in the justice system. It thoroughly addresses the bigger issues of holistically reducing the increase in crime rates and susceptibility in society. Each chapter builds on leading scholarship in this field from Western scholars and supplements these theories with research findings from a South Asian perspective, particularly in the Indian criminal justice system. This book successfully encapsulates the foundations of criminal psychology literature while incorporating interdisciplinary avenues of study into criminal behaviour and legal psychology, bringing into the provincial discourse lacunas of the justice system and avenues for alternative correctional and rehabilitative programs.

Download or read book Glorious Exploits written by Ferdia Lennon and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An utterly original celebration of that which binds humanity across battle lines and history. On the island of Sicily amid the Peloponnesian War, the Syracusans have figured out what to do with the surviving Athenians who had the gall to invade their city: they’ve herded the sorry prisoners of war into a rock quarry and left them to rot. Looking for a way to pass the time, Lampo and Gelon, two unemployed potters with a soft spot for poetry and drink, head down into the quarry to feed the Athenians if, and only if, they can manage a few choice lines from their great playwright Euripides. Before long, the two mates hatch a plan to direct a full-blown production of Medea. After all, you can hate the people but love their art. But as opening night approaches, what started as a lark quickly sets in motion a series of extraordinary events, and our wayward heroes begin to realize that staging a play can be as dangerous as fighting a war, with all sorts of risks to life, limb, and friendship. Told in a contemporary Irish voice and as riotously funny as it is deeply moving, Glorious Exploits is an unforgettable ode to the power of art in a time of war, brotherhood in a time of enmity, and human will throughout the ages.
Download or read book Uprising at Bowling Green written by Norbert Wiley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often overlooked, the student demonstration at Bowling Green State University was the first and most successful 1960s campus protest - and a key point in the transition from 1950s social mores to 1960s activism. What began as a protest against outdated rules about dating and student behaviour quickly turned toward political objectives about civil liberties and ousted the university president. The authors, two of whom were present on campus during the demonstration, tell the story of how what began as dissent against old schoolmarm rules quickly turned into a fully-fledged 1960s crusade, with new issues and tactics. Feminist activists played a leading role, and the uprising succeeded in advancing the civil liberties of women. Drawing on the sociological ideas of Weber, Durkheim, and Marx, this book depicts how young activists broke the 1950s mold, little aware that many of their ideals would be echoed in many important 1960s protests. It is a vivid portrait of how the 1950s became the 1960s in America.

In his mind, he's still bobbing in that frigid water. The rest of this novel's vivid cast of characters also struggle to remain afloat: Popper's mother, stymied by an unhappy marriage, seeks solace in the relentless energy of Chicago; his brother, Leo, shadow boss of the family, retreats into books; paternal grandparents, Seymour and Bernice, once high fliers, now mourn for long lost days; his father, a lawyer and would-be politician obsessed with his own success, fails to see that the family is falling apart; and his college girlfriend, the fiercely independent Kat, wrestles with impossible choices. Covering four generations of the Popper family, Peter Orner illuminates the countless ways that love both makes us whole and completely unravels us. A comic and sorrowful tapestry of memory of connection and disconnection, Love and Shame and Love explores the universals with stunning originality and wisdom.
