Download or read book Friend Foe written by Adam Galinsky and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it take to succeed? This question has fueled a long-running debate. Some have argued that humans are fundamentally competitive, and that pursuing self-interest is the best way to get ahead. Others claim that humans are born to cooperate and that we are most successful when we collaborate with others. In FRIEND AND FOE, researchers Galinsky and Schweitzer explain why this debate misses the mark. Rather than being hardwired to compete or cooperate, we have evolved to do both. In every relationship, from co-workers to friends to spouses to siblings we are both friends and foes. It is only by learning how to strike the right balance between these two forces that we can improve our long-term relationships and get more of what we want. Here, Galinsky and Schweitzer draw on original, cutting edge research from their own labs and from across the social sciences as well as vivid real-world examples to show how to maximize success in work and in life by deftly navigating the tension between cooperation and competition. They offer insights and advice ranging from: how to gain power and keep it, how to build trust and repair trust once it’s broken, how to diffuse workplace conflict and bias, how to find the right comparisons to motivate us and make us happier, and how to succeed in negotiations – ensuring that we achieve our own goals and satisfy those of our counterparts. Along the way, they pose and offer surprising answers to a number of perplexing puzzles: when does too much talent undermine success; why can acting less competently gain you status and authority, where do many gender differences in the workplace really come from, how can you use deception to build trust, and why do you want to go last on American Idol and in many interview situations, but make the first offer when negotiating the sale of a new car. We perform at our very best when we hold cooperation and competition in the right balance. This book is a guide for navigating our social and professional worlds by learning when to cooperate as a friend and when to compete as a foe—and how to be better at both.
Download or read book Friends Foes and Furs written by Harry W. Duckworth and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-12-26 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Nelson (1786-1859) was a clerk for the North West Company whose unusually detailed and personal writings provide a compelling portrait of the people engaged in the golden age of the Canadian fur trade. Friends, Foes, and Furs is a critical edition of Nelson's daily journals, supplemented with exciting anecdotes from his "Reminiscences," which were written after his retirement to Lower Canada. An introduction and annotations by Harry Duckworth place Nelson's material securely within the established body of fur trade history. This series of journals gives readers a first-person account of Nelson's life and career, from his arrival at the age of eighteen in Lake Winnipeg, where he was stationed as an apprentice clerk from 1804 to 1813, to his second service from 1818 to 1819 and an 1822 canoe journey through the region. A keen and respectful observer, Nelson recorded in his daily journals not only the minutiae of his work, but also details about the lives of voyageurs, the Ojibwe and Swampy Cree communities, and others involved in the fur trade. His insights uncover an extraordinary view of the Lake Winnipeg region in the period just prior to European settlement. Making the full extent of George Nelson's journals available for the first time, Friends, Foes, and Furs is an intriguing account of one man's adventures in the fur trade in prairie Canada.
Download or read book Friends Foes and Families written by Judith Dimond and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Lent book will explore biblical stories and characters that exemplify a whole range of relationships, in good times and bad. Relationships will be defined very widely, to include even people who don't see themselves in 'relationship'. The stories will be related to common emotions - love, friendship, rivalry, conflict, trust, hatred, fear - and linked with 21st-century attitudes, culture and moral dilemmas. The book will cover OT stories as well as NT, and explore dysfunctional as well as functional relationships to make clear how experiences of loss and failure - which culminated, for Jesus, in the Cross - are inevitably part of our relationships, but can be healed by the Resurrection. The making of choices is pivotal in our life journey and these meditations will focus on key moments of decision, and their consequences. This will often involve reflection on the power of temptation: the ways in which biblical characters respond to it, and their varying success in withstanding it. The reflections will range widely, but will start with Jesus' temptations and conclude with stories from Holy Week and Easter, so that the relevance to Lent is maintained.

Book excerpt: Corey "Cee" Banks wasn't the average ghetto superstar. Unlike some of the other hustlers out there puttin' in work, he was satisfied with how his life of grindin' had turned out. He was kind and fair in the streets and a loving man in his home. Everyone in the hood respected him. Then someone crossed the line and Cee learned the hard way that it sometimes might be better to be feared than to be respected. When Cees girlfriend, Keisha, is killed in a botched robbery attempt, he realizes his kindness is being misconstrued for weakness. One unexpected tragedy leads to another as Cees life is turned upside down in a matter of days. With his mind made up to keep it moving, leaving his past behind, Cee sets out to make his last few moves, and in the process, fight the battle between deciphering whether those he encounters are Friend or Foe. Original.

Book excerpt: John Elfman is The R.E.P.O. Elf in spite of himself because of the decisions he made and the situations he created as a repossession artist. People purchase many things on credit for incalculable reasons but fail to make the payments. Collectible, Muscle and regular cars and trucks and even people's businesses provide a steady diet for one man to outwit the owners and solve their problems with the bank or finance company. John learns, over time, that repossession is not always the answer. Life teaches John that it is not a straight line from beginning to end but a myriad series of twists, turns and switchbacks. As John moves through the various repossessions, he determines that first there must be possessions. And possessions are often precious to people. People and their possessions are delicately intertwined and separating them is a tenuous task, even for seasoned repossession professionals. Repossession work is not for the faint of heart nor, as John learns, one he can go alone.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1972, and now with a new Preface by Michael Campbell, this collection of essays on closely related issues in moral philosophy looks at different aspects of people’s understanding of their own and others’ actions in ethical dimensions. The book discusses the ways in which the understanding both of man’s own nature and of the nature of the world in which he lives, is a function of his social existence. It discusses questions about the character of moral deliberation and decision, the nature of the human will and its connections with action, and the extent to which an individual’s moral reasonings must claim universal applicability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PITUS PESTON AND THE EYES OF HARNUK is the second episode in the PEREGRINATIONS OF PITUS PESTON. Imagine a young man who lived two hundred years ago, whose destiny seemed to be to work the small family farm along the upper Hudson but whose intellect soared far above his times and station. This young man dared to dream a blasphemous dream of travel to worlds and peoples among the stars. Now imagine that he discovered not only a means of fulfi lling his dream, but found himself in a quest to fi nd a source of knowledge rivaling that of the Almighty Himself. Pitus Peston who solved the riddle hidden in a wampum sash of the location of a derelict alien ship atop a butte in what is now Monument Valley, is journeying with his companion Calnoon Atoye Itah, a native of Oman, to this world on the opposite arm of the Milky Way. Atoye, eager to end his long exile and return home hopes to reward his friend Pitus with astounding scenes of his highly advanced civilization. When they reach their distant goal, they fi nd not the wonders of an advanced civilization but the ruins of war, but a new objective avails itself in the search for Loma's Cube, the seat of accumulated knowledge spanning the eons of the last era before the last Big Bang swallowed it up in the last Big Crunch. They are not alone in this quest. A rival from the planet Haldan, the other faction in what became known as The Thirty-Minutes War, seeks the cube for its secrets of propulsion and weaponry to make possible a new empire engulfi ng ultimately the whole galaxy.
