Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together prominent investigators to provide a comprehensive guide to doing life course research, including an “inside view” of how they designed and carried out influential longitudinal studies. Using vivid examples, the contributors trace the connections between early and later experience and reveal how researchers and graduate students can discover these links in their own research. Well-organized chapters describe the best and newest ways to: *Use surveys, life records, ethnography, and data archives to collect different types of data over years or even decades. *Apply innovative statistical methods to measure dynamic processes that result in improvement, decline, or reversibility in economic fortune, stress, health, and criminality. *Explore the micro- and macro-level explanatory factors that shape individual trajectories, including genetic and environmental interactions, personal life history, interpersonal ties, and sociocultural institutions.
Download or read book The Craft of Life written by Robert Goldstein and published by . This book was released on 2017-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Craft of Life is a practice based on a new philosophy called Identity Theory in which individuals, couples, families, and groups explore their biographies to discover the key elements that compose their personal psychology: the origin of their fears and insecurities, the mechanism by which these continue to operate in their lives, the behaviors they regularly use to mask their genuine feelings, all of which conspire to prevent them from building conscious, authentic relationships. In addition, and, perhaps most important, practitioners discover unrecognized, unfulfilled emotional longings, which they have carried since childhood. It is startling when we come to realize that most of the dissatisfaction we experience in our lives is directly rooted to these deep, unfulfilled yearnings, which we willingly surrendered in childhood, believing them to be unattainable. Reduced to its most fundamental description, The Craft of Life provides a straightforward practice through which an individual may come to understand the direct relationship between their perceptions and beliefs (cause) and the outer forms and emotional content that compose their lives (effect). By providing clearly defined theory and practice, The Craft of Life transforms inner work from an often, nebulous process into a well-defined craft. Practitioners come to understand themselves, their behaviors, attitudes, and life circumstances with remarkable clarity, and, then, by performing the accompanying exercises, begin to introduce genuine, quantifiable change within themselves, their lives, and relationships.

Many attempt to create spine-tingling suspense or allege that America's civilian spy operation has run amok and been infested with rogues and criminals. Not that The Craft We Chose lacks suspense, harrowing encounters, or its own share of villains, but this book is different; it is a straightforward, honest, surprisingly captivating memoir by one of the CIA's most well-known and honored career officers. For more than three decades, Richard L. Holm worked in the agency's Directorate of Operations now the National Clandestine Service the component directly responsible for collecting human intelligence. His assignments took him to seven countries on three continents, and his travels added many more destinations. At almost every turn Holm encountered his share of dangerous characters and situations, including one that nearly ended his life before he turned 30. The Craft We Chose is more than a chronicle of those episodes. It also reveals Holm's private life, his roots and family, his courtship and marriage, and his four daughters, whom he affectionately calls his platoon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voted Best Book of 2010 by Englewood Review of Books "In whatever place you live, do not easily leave it." –Abba Anthony In an age where we might email a friend in Africa, skype a co-worker in Brazil, and teleconference with people in different time zones–all in one day–the sheer speed of life can be dizzying. Like children stumbling off a merry-go-round, says Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, we are grasping for something to anchor our lives in a sea of constant change. In The Wisdom of Stability, Wilson-Hartgrove illuminates the biblical and monastic understanding of why staying in one place is both a virtue and good for you. "For the Christian tradition," he writes, "the heart's true home is a life rooted in the love of God." When we cultivate an inner stability of heart – by rooting ourselves in the places where we live, engaging the people we are with, and by the simple rhythms of tending to body and soul – true growth can happen. The Wisdom of Stability is a must-read for pastors, leaders, and anyone seeking an authentic path of Christian transformation.
