Download or read book Friend & Foe written by Adam Galinsky and published by Currency. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 320 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.
Book Synopsis Friend Or Foe? by : Michael J. Strada
Download or read book Friend Or Foe? written by Michael J. Strada and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nearly sixty years of filmmaking, the always uneasy and often fractious Soviet-American relationship has been mirrored in Hollywood's portrayal of Russians and the Soviet Union. Friend or Foe? examines the portrayal of the Soviet Union in American film, and shows how these films reflect the attitudes of Americans, as well as how each portrayal changed with the often uneasy relations between the two countries. The authors show how films, as rich repositories of national consciousness, can be analyzed to reveal time-bound insights into popular fears and obsessions. History lovers and film buffs will appreciate the tongue-in-cheek approach to many of the absurdist films. Scholars in history, film studies, and political science will find the depth and breadth of research useful. A filmography, bibliography, and photographs further complement the study.

Download or read book Provoked written by Franklin Trainer and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It has been my privilege to know Franklin Trainer for several years. He is a man of Christian character and has proven himself faithful. He takes his responsibilities very seriously while attempting his very best to live holy and being led by the Spirit. I would say that he is old fashion in his beliefs, but he simply just believes the Bible. You will only find him using the King James Bible in his studies and devotionals. My wife has spent time with his wife and their home is solid, stable and full of Christian joy. If you want to read devotionals written by a man that lives them out daily, please read Provoked." Sincerely, Evangelist Matt Pringle Ottumwa Baptist Temple Ottumwa, Iowa "Cut from the old cloth of the patriarchs, Franklin Trainer wastes no time trying to be good. He knows that he is a sinner and must have God's own goodness for his own. Franklin is not concerned with simply being right. Rather, he insists on Christ's righteousness being imputed to him. This is a man who has been to Bethel, and who has walked with God and every aspect of his life is fragrant with the aroma of celestial delights. Now he has erected an altar, and welcomes us all to worship with him at the feet of the One he adores. Having wrestled with God for every benediction within, Franklin generously invites us to enjoy them with him." Pastor Caleb Thompson Austin, Texas Born and raised in rural Missouri, Franklin grew up appreciating the value of candor and honesty. Choosing early on to surround himself with older mentors, his own age and maturity has now served to solidify the benefit of having learned plain speak during his formative years. Reared in a crosspatch of Protestantism, but not saved until the age of 29, has forged a post salvation passion, and a compelling heart, to reach out to others who perhaps live in like delusion that all is well with their soul apart from being "born again" (cf. John 3:3, 5). Working for some 24 years in youth ministry, Franklin takes seriously the admonition "to teach others also" those eternal truths instilled in him by "faithful men" gone on before (cf. 2 Timothy 2:2). Franklin teaches and preaches regularly in chapel and Sunday morning classes as a staffer at his local church and Christian school; as well as on the radio in the nearby community. Married, with two grown daughters, two terrific sons-in-law, and one granddaughter; life in CHRIST is rich and rewarding indeed. The Trainer's make their home in the Ozark region of the 'Show Me' state; enjoying country living at its finest, amidst some of the best climate and scenery found anywhere under GOD'S Heaven.

Download or read book Friendship written by Barbara Caine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an increasing interest in the meaning and importance of friendship in recent years, particularly in the West. However, the history of friendship, and the ways in which it has changed over time, have rarely been examined. Friendship: A History traces the development of friendship in Europe from the Hellenistic period to today. The book brings together a range of essays that examine the language of friendship and its significance in terms of ethics, social institutions, religious organizations and political alliances. The essays study the works of classical and contemporary authors to explore the role of friendship in Western philosophy. Ranging from renaissance friendships to Christian and secular friendships and from women’s writing to the role of class and sex in friendships, Friendship: A History will be invaluable to students and scholars of social history.

Book excerpt: A three-year-old is a real puzzle to parents, sometimes anxious to please and befriend, sometimes strong-willed and difficult to get along with.

Book Synopsis From Babel to Dragomans by : Bernard Lewis
Download or read book From Babel to Dragomans written by Bernard Lewis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-02 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernard Lewis is recognized around the globe as one of the leading authorities on Islam. Hailed as "the world's foremost Islamic scholar" (Wall Street Journal), as "a towering figure among experts on the culture and religion of the Muslim world" (Baltimore Sun), and as "the doyen of Middle Eastern studies" (New York Times), Lewis is nothing less than a national treasure, a trusted voice that politicians, journalists, historians, and the general public have all turned to for insight into the Middle East. Now, this revered authority has brought together writings and lectures that he has written over four decades, featuring his reflections on Middle Eastern history and foreign affairs, the Iranian Revolution, the state of Israel, the writing of history, and much more. The essays cover such urgent and compelling topics as "What Saddam Wrought," "Deconstructing Osama and His Evil Appeal," "The Middle East, Westernized Despite Itself," "The Enemies of God," and "Can Islam Be Secularized?" The collection ranges from two English originals of articles published before only in foreign languages, to previously unpublished writings, to his highly regarded essays from publications such as Foreign Affairs and The New York Review of Books. With more than fifty pieces in all, plus a new introduction to the book by Lewis, this is a valuable collection for everyone interested in the Middle East. Here then is a rich repository of wisdom on one of the key areas of the modern world--a wealth of profound reflections on Middle Eastern history, culture, politics, and current events.
Book Synopsis A Middle East Mosaic by : Bernard Lewis
Download or read book A Middle East Mosaic written by Bernard Lewis and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In times of war and in peace, from the earliest days of the Roman Empire to our own, Westerners have journeyed to the lands of the middle east, bringing back accounts of their adventures and impressions. Yet it was never a one way exchange. From the first Arab embassy to the Vikings in the 9th century to the internet musings of the Taliban, A Middle East Mosaic collects a rich, boisterous literature of cultural exchange. We see the American Revolution through the eyes of a Moroccan Ambassador and the French Revolution through a series of Imperial Ottoman proclamations. We find surprising portraits of Napoleon ("a brigand chief"), TE Lawrence and Ataturk. We learn what George Washington and Machiavelli through t of Turkish politics and hear Flaubert and Thackeray rail against eastern crime and punishment. We peer into Voltaire's business correspondence and follow the footsteps of Mark Twain, Richard Burton, Gertrude Bell and Ibn Battutta, the Marco Polo of the east. Great discoveries are recorded - an Egyptian Ambassador is introduced to electricity and dismisses the spectacle as "frankish trickery;" another pronounces the invention of a secure mail system most useful for assignations. We enter the harem with a 16th century organ maker and emerge with Ottoman reform. It was not until the sixteenth century that the first middle eastern rulers entered into diplomatic relations with European rulers, but trade often precede diplomatic relations. Business men from the days of the crusades against Saladin to the oil prospecting of Samuel Cox and his descendents have seen great possibilities in the markets of the middle east. And throughout the centuries we have been united by war. We witness the outbreak of the Crimean war with Karl Marx and enter Egypt with Napoleon. We observe Arab customs with George Patton and visit Baghdad and Cairo with George F. Kennan in the second world war. When Usama bin Ladin rails against "Jews and crusaders" occupying the holy land, he is rehearsing a grievance with a long history. This symphony of voices, full of wit and wisdom, spite and wonder, suspicion, befuddlement and occasional insight, is ordered and explained by our foremost living historian of the middle east. The fruit of a lifetime of scholarship and erudition, A Middle East Mosaic is a dazzling capstone to a brilliant career. In a spirited reappraisal of western views of the east and eastern views of the west over the last two thousand years, Bernard Lewis gives us a brilliant over-view of 2,000 years of commerce, diplomacy, war and exploration. This book is a delight, a treasury of stories drawn from letters, diaries and histories, but also from unpublished archives and previously untranslated accounts. Diplomats and interpreters, slaves, soldiers, pilgrims and missionaries, princes and spies, businessmen, doctors and priests all pour forth their stories of the people and events that shaped history. A Middle East Mosaic cannot fail to appeal to anyone with an appetite for history and a curiosity about the vagaries of cultural exchange.
Book Synopsis My Body And Its Secret Mind by : Sudha Kudva
Download or read book My Body And Its Secret Mind written by Sudha Kudva and published by Sudha Madhav Kudva. This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gift of “LIFE.” One per person. Non-transferable. Limited time span. We are through a container - the BODY offered this gift. This container – the Body comes equipped with a SECRET MIND that develops from conception, functions below the level of consciousness, and records experiences as memories. This secret mind, rather than our conscious mind, plays a crucial role in formulating our behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. The lack of awareness of this can lead to "unintentional damage" in our relationships with loved ones. At such times, the emotional pain we experience may surface in various coping mechanisms and feelings of "unbearable hunger, never enough, loneliness." It may leave a scab of ingrained anxiety and depression. This book fills that niche in the market through its stark simplicity in explaining and illustrating the secret mind with numerous case stories. Awareness of this and the multiple tools offered in the book can help us experience genuine connectedness, security, and fulfillment in our intimate relationships. Physical, emotional, and mental wellness can flourish. The benefits are priceless. A satisfying "LIFE" indeed. Sudha Kudva works as a professional counselor specializing in Child, Adult, Couple,Family, and Trauma Therapy ( using EMDR Therapy). With over 20,000 hours of experience, she also offers insightful workshops and talks. This is her second book. For more information, do visit www.secretmind.me We all know we have a conscious mind (also called the thinking, cognitive, or intellectual mind), and we can often retrieve memories stored here. How many of us are aware that we also have a secret mind that stores memories and operates below the level of consciousness? I call this the secret mind of the Body, where memories generated from conception are stored. (Psychologists call this implicit memory and implicit beliefs). These stored memories usually do not surface as "stories," as there is no conscious recall ability before 2-2.5 years. Instead, they are regularly activated as emotional experiences. "I discovered that my professional training, with its focus on understanding and insight, had largely ignored the relevance of the living, breathing Body, the foundation of ourselves." Bessel A. van der Kolk, Author of ”The Body Keeps The Score. We may not be aware that much of our behaviors are dictated by the secret mind of the Body rather than our conscious mind. How does the secret mind of the Body do that? It does so from the information it receives when one Human Body interacts with another. Human Bodies communicate with each other in a language that is not words. Communication occurs when the nervous system of one Human Body subtly picks up information about the other Body and vice versa. This process happens at a speed that is faster than the spoken words we usually use to interact with each other, and it happens below the level of conscious awareness. The information gathered is fed to the secret mind of the Body, where meanings are attached to these interactions. Behaviors are an outcome or an adaptation of the secret mind’s interpretation of this data. The Body’s conscious mind has only a minor role to play in our behaviors. Are we then so pre-programmed? Many a time, in retrospect, we may be disgusted by our own behaviors. Are the latter arising from this pre-programming? Do we have so little control over our behaviors? How, then, can we, the conscious self, be responsible for our behaviors when so much is happening at the subconscious level? Fortunately for us, the human body communicates with us (conscious self) and gives us an inkling of the meaning the secret mind has attached to the incoming information. What we do after this is in our hands. So, we do have control over our behaviors. This can only happen if we (the conscious self) are aware of the language of communication of the Body to us. Only then can we take charge of our behaviors. We can now consciously modify or abort the pre-programmed behavior, which otherwise might be detrimental to us and our relationships. Otherwise, it can feel as if we are rudderless, and our behaviors, despite our best efforts, repeatedly let us down. This Book supports us in understanding the secret mind and the language of communication of the Body with us. More on how this book can support us is shared below. One of the primary functions of this secret mind is to create a blueprint from the 'emotional experiences' gathered during interactions with others, particularly its primary caregivers. Were these interactions emotionally safe, or were they tinged /seeped with danger? These 'emotional experiences' of various moments are meticulously stored as a blueprint on how to navigate life in this world. Each moment is checked thoroughly – are cues suggestive of approachability (safety) or unapproachability (threat)? And behaviors are adjusted to the answers derived. This blueprint saved in the secret mind, and the behaviors that needed to manifest served an important function in childhood; however, that pattern of behaviors may no longer be relevant in adulthood. Ironically and sadly, that familiar pattern is still very functional decades later. Based on that past programming of the familiar, false alarms ring, and the behaviors that now arise are often detrimental to personal growth and relationships in our adult life. Some of these pre-programmed behaviors play a major role in marital and family discords.
