Download or read book The Paradox of Choice written by Barry Schwartz and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether we're buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions—both big and small—have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented. As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression. In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice—the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish—becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice—from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs—has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse. By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counter intuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on those that are important and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Options is designed to help student writers develop their knowledge and use of academic language to meet the demands of college- and university-level writing assignments. It draws on the research identifying lexical and grammatical patterns across academic contexts and provides authentic reading contexts for structured vocabulary learning. Recognizing that vocabulary choices in writing often require consideration of grammatical structure, Exploring Options focuses on specific kinds of lexico-grammatical decisions—that is, the ones involving the interaction between vocabulary and grammar--that students face in shaping, connecting, and restructuring their ideas. The book helps writers learn how to effectively use resources such as learner dictionaries, thesauruses, and concordancers to improve academic word knowledge. Following a unit on using resources for vocabulary development, the contents are divided into three parts: Showing Relationships within Sentences, Connecting and Focusing across Sentences, and Qualifying Statements and Reporting Research. Part 1 focuses on verbs and modifiers that express increases and decreases, verbs and abstract nouns that describe change, connectors and verbs describing causal relationships, and parallel structures. Part 2 explores the words that help connect ideas and add cohesion. Part 3 discusses how to express degrees of certainty and accuracy and the use of reporting verbs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ethics of Pregnancy, Abortion and Childbirth addresses the unique moral questions raised by pregnancy and its intimate bodily nature. From assisted reproduction to abortion and ‘vital conflict’ resolution to more everyday concerns of the pregnant woman, this book argues for pregnancy as a close human relationship with the woman as guardian or custodian. Four approaches to pregnancy are explored: ‘uni-personal’, ‘neighborly’, ‘maternal’ and ‘spousal’. The author challenges not only the view that there is only one moral subject to consider in pregnancy, but also the idea that the location of the fetus lacks all inherent, unique significance. It is argued that the pregnant woman is not a mere ‘neighbor’ or helpful stranger to the fetus but is rather already in a real familial relationship bringing real familial rights and obligations. If the status of the fetus is conclusive for at least some moral questions raised by pregnancy, so too are facts about its bodily relationship with, and presence in, the woman who supports it. This lucid, accessible and original book explores fundamental ethical issues in a rich and often neglected area of philosophy in ways of interest also to those from other disciplines.

Book excerpt: Life is filled with choices. From routine habits to carefully considered decisions, we make hundreds of choices each day. Human beings across the planet generally desire similar outcomes: to meet our basic needs and to live a life filled with joy, love, and peace. We all seem to take a different path to the same destination, often colliding with one another toward reaching our ideal goals, but what if we were to make an effort to consolidate our choices with fewer interceptions and conflicts? There is a way and it impacts every choice we make. Also by Donna Kendall: Sailing on an Ocean of Tears, Dancing with Bianchina, Stitch-a-Story, Uncle Charlie's Soup

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " How Taiwan can overcome internal stresses and the threat from China Taiwan was a poster child for the “third wave” of global democratization in the 1980s. It was the first Chinese society to make the transition todemocracy, and it did so gradually and peacefully. But Taiwan today faces a host of internal issues, starting with the aging of society and the resulting intergenerational conflicts over spending priorities. China's long-term threat to incorporate the island on terms similar to those used for Hong Kong exacerbates the island's home-grown problems. Taiwan remains heavily dependent on the United States for its security, but it must use its own resources to cope with Beijing's constant intimidation and pressure. How Taiwan responds to the internal and external challenges it faces—and what the United States and other outside powers do to help—will determine whether it is able to stand its ground against China's ambitions. The book explores the broad range of issues and policy choices Taiwan confronts and offers suggestions both for what Taiwan can do to help itself and what the United States should do to improve Taiwan's chances of success.

This book was released on with total page 1379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) can be a challenging and emotionally taxing journey, not only for those directly affected but also for their families and caregivers. This genetic condition, which primarily affects the liver and lungs, requires lifelong management and, in many cases, significant lifestyle adjustments. The chronic nature of AATD can lead to a wide range of physical symptoms, emotional strain, and mental health challenges, especially when dealing with pain, uncertainty, and the impact of hereditary illness. This book, Psychological Support by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, was created to offer an integrated approach that combines the biological, psychological, and emotional aspects of managing this condition. It introduces readers to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its profound potential to address the mental health impacts of AATD. From coping with genetic testing, managing chronic pain, and balancing medical treatments with quality of life, to facing the emotional toll of long-term care, CBT provides tools to navigate these complex experiences. CBT focuses on how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, offering strategies to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and build resilience. Whether you are newly diagnosed with AATD or have been living with the condition for years, this book aims to provide a therapeutic framework that encourages emotional healing and mental well-being. The chapters of this book are carefully structured to cover a broad range of topics, starting with an introduction to AATD and the basics of genetics, epigenetics, and hereditary diseases. It delves into the psychological effects of genetic illnesses and the trauma often experienced by those affected. From there, it explores the principles of CBT and offers practical tools to help readers manage their mental health more effectively. Special attention is given to personalized therapeutic approaches, helping individuals tailor their journey of emotional recovery and adjustment. This book is not intended to replace professional medical advice or mental health services but rather to complement them. It is designed to be a guide, empowering those affected by Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency to take charge of their mental and emotional well-being, alongside their medical care. By combining the insights of genetics with the principles of CBT, this book offers a unique and powerful resource for understanding, coping with, and ultimately thriving despite the challenges of living with AATD. I hope that the information and therapeutic tools within this book provide clarity, comfort, and support, helping you to navigate the complexities of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency with confidence and hope.
