Download or read book How The Tin Man Found His Brain written by Danute Debney Shaw and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Will I ever be normal again?" That was the question. The First Light had occurred. It had happened... Some years ago, a gentleman was referred to me for consultation. It was unclear what kind of strategy this man was looking to develop, or why he was referred to me. He seemed vague and perhaps a bit confused. I should say, that some of the work I was engaged in at that time was "decision strategy innovation": an approach to professional and personal problem solving which incorporates multiple functions of conscious resources. Simply put, it involves the intuitive/inspired, rational and creative forms of thinking being utilized in concert, using subjectively and emotional intelligence." As Mr. Humphries points out via Alice Hoffman, "Once you know some things, you can't unknow them." In other words, learning creates inner change. Within these pages you will find what has been described as many "nuggets that require further digestion," as Ms. Debney Shaw takes you on a personal journey toward enhancing your decision strategies , using methods designed to bring out innovation.

Download or read book Constitutional Correctness Trumps Political Correctness written by John Sauer and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John first heard the term political correctness in 1975. When he asked his friend, what is that? After the explanation, John replied, "That is the biggest conversation killer I have ever heard." John felt it was wrong but had no wherewithal to challenge it. For thirty-five years, it bothered him. It wasn't until twenty-eleven that, looking at a possible second term for Obama, he finally coined the phrase "Constitutional correctness trumps political correctness."In 2010, John created a website to present his research results to anyone who wanted to reference it. He added a blog tab to capture his thoughts on current issues as they drew his attention. Most of those blog entries are incorporated in this book Constitutional Correctness Trumps Political Correctness. Read, enjoy, and contemplate the content.Preparing his website for the twenty-sixteen election, he was watching the candidates in the presidential preference primary, he switched his choice from the Texas candidate to Trump because of Trump's tenacity. John was certain that if next Republican candidate was a true American and believed in the Constitution, he would be vilified by the establishment, the socialist Democrats, and the globalists and Trump appeared to be a fighter. As president, he has suffered the lies of the establishment and fought back, all the while he was able to fulfill many of his campaign promises. The Republican establishment, the socialist Democrats, and the globalists just slowed him down. The voters made the right choice.We Patriotic Americans are in a war and our enemy is within our borders. As voters in this revolutionary war, we need to be able to recognize who the enemy is, what weapons he uses and the scope of the battlefield. We also need to know who are our allied candidates.

Download or read book Detours written by Tony Evans and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God has a plan for your life. More often than not, it’s a detour, one that can leave you feeling temporarily stalled and slowed down. Which nobody likes. But detours are necessary if any improvements are going to be made on the paths we travel. Or if any wreck is going to be cleaned up or a hazard avoided. Detours are designed for our own good, regardless of how we view or feel about them. Detours are a good thing that often feels bad. Tony knows a thing or two about detours, and one of the things he knows for certain is that God works through detours to bring about His blessing. To deliver you to the place He has created just for you. Yet what we often do is try as hard as we can to work our own way to the circumstances we believe are best for us. Using examples from the life of Joseph, Tony will leave readers with answers to the following questions: How do you find the destiny God has designed for your life? How can you make the most of the detours God has planned for you? Is there a way to shorten a detour and speed up your progression in life? What is the purpose of a detour?

Download or read book Walking Shadows written by Tim Read and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are certain unusual mental states that have such an extraordinary intensity, that they are numinous; they involve the presence of an archetype. These states can be beautiful or utterly terrifying, they can predispose to illness but if carefully negotiated they carry enormous potential for accelerated development. This book is about these high intensity mental states as found in the psychiatric emergency room, in everyday life, in psychotherapy and in spiritual practice. How can we understand this archetypal layer of psyche and how can we work with its power to promote psycho-spiritual growth? The author weaves the archetypal perspective into the psychoanalytic and medical models of mind to show us how the different layers of the individual and collective psyche intertwine to give us our rich experience of being human. Using everyday language and using case studies from clinical work in psychiatry and psychotherapy, the author takes the reader on a journey from: * Breakdown to breakthrough * Plato's cave to Jung's archetypal crisis * Genetics to transpersonal psychology * Hearing voices to post traumatic stress disorder * Psychoanalysis to psychedelics * The mid life crisis to the encounter with death * Quantum physics to synchronicity * Shakespeare to shamanism * Transcendent nature to mindfulness

Download or read book 3D Management an Integral Theory for Organisations in the Vanguard of Evolution written by Marco A. Robledo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If organisations are not working as well as they could, it is because they are still being managed by obsolete principles rooted in the Industrial Age. Until now, management has been a very one-dimensional discipline, in which only profits mattered. Having eyes fixed squarely upon the bottom line has endangered the planet, increased inequality, and disengaged employees. It is an unsustainable situation that calls for the radical redesign of management philosophical foundations. This book shows how to liberate organisations from the constraining assumptions and structures that hold them back, and how to build more conscious, humane, efficacious, and responsible forms of enterprise. 3D Management is an application of Ken Wilber’s ground-breaking Integral Theory that embodies the next stage of management evolution: smarter, nimbler, wiser, fairer, and fitter for the forthcoming metamodern times. This disruptive theory denies the imperialism of the bottom line and replaces it with a harmonic triumvirate that takes profit, people, planet, and purpose into account equally. An integral organisation is made up of three fundamental and irreducible dimensions: science, arts, and ethics, which refer respectively to the techno-economical, developmental, and moral aspects of organisational reality. These three aspects are woven together into an essential unit by the spiritual dimension, which strives for unity and meaning. 3D Management is a summum bonum of these four key dimensions to achieve sustainable excellence, spur organisational development, and create radically engaging workplaces, as well as making a better world. The text features more than 60 vanguard organisations, harbingers of the teal consciousness that will define the future of management. “One thing is certain: the more a truly integral business catches on, the more whole and fulfilled that humanity’s future will be. And 3D Management will have helped pave the way.” (from Ken Wilber’s foreword)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden in each of us is a superstar waiting to come to life. Often we struggle to find this, not because we lack talent, desire, or ability, but because we don’t know the right steps to take.

White and Sanjay Jha provide a comprehensive nine-step roadmap to help you succeed in the workplace and other areas of your lives. The Superstar Syndrome is the ultimate success bible based on the lives of over 80 well-known people, like N.R. Narayana Murthy, M.S.

It makes you believe that the finish line is not just within your reach, but opens up dreams and possibilities beyond.

Download or read book Psalms of the Dining Room written by Lauren Schmidt and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-19 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Psalms of the Dining Room, Lauren Schmidt lays down riffs like a fierce blues guitarist, one who knows the power of each carefully chosen note. These poems explode with tough compassion. They sting a little bit--they make us flinch in recognition. Schmidt's sharply etched details tell the powerful stories of her characters' struggles to be seen, to be acknowledged as human. These poems remind us of how close we all are to each other, despite efforts at denial and distance, despite how violence can erode the human spirit. Her characters fight for dignity in the face of everything rigged to keep them down." -Jim Daniels author of In Line for the Exterminator The poetry of Lauren Schmidt does what poetry should do: make the invisible visible, indelibly, unforgettably. If ever a collection of poems embodied Whitman's dictum to speak for "the rights of them the others are down upon," this is it...The poems inspired by the experience of working with this community--in The Dining Room and beyond--humanize the dehumanized, compelling us to see what we do not see and hear what we do not hear, to gaze upon the "ugly" until it becomes beautiful, to re-imagine, re-invent and repair the world. -From the Foreword by Martin Espada

Download or read book Everyday Life and the Unconscious Mind written by Hannah Curtis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasing number of people are seeking to develop an understanding of psychoanalytic concepts in order to apply them to the ordinary situations that they encounter as they go about their work, family and social lives. Some of these people are students just leaving college and going on to university, some are managers seeking to understand the dynamics of work place relationships and some are the friends or families of people who suffer with emotional distress or mental health issues. Everyday Life and the Unconscious Mind is written for students, for those who work in the care sector, or in management, and for those who love someone who is struggling emotionally. It explains and clarifies some of the concepts that address the way in which the unconscious mind works and how it seeks to manage its feelings. It includes chapters on trauma and defence mechanisms, which are to do with how we cope with events that act like a psychological blow to our self esteem or our identity.

Download or read book The Power of Invisible Leadership written by Gill Robinson Hickman and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful force draws people to leadership in countless businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and social movements—we call it invisible leadership. Invisible leadership embodies situations in which dedication to a compelling and deeply held common purpose is the motivating force for leadership. Common purpose is more than a mission statement. It is a profound sense of common destiny, a life course or calling, aligned with a mission that resonates profoundly with our values and our sense of ourselves and others. This readable, research-based book shows readers how invisible leadership exists in the space between leaders and followers, artists and subjects, and purposes and people. Rather than reinforcing the idea that leadership is embodied in celebrity leaders or in gifted and charismatic individuals, the well known and highly admired authors of this insightful new book identify "charisma of purpose" as the motivating force for invisible leadership. A brief discussion of how invisible leadership impacts businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and social movements guides the reader toward an understanding of the antecedents and possibilities of this way of thinking.
