Download or read book Psychology 101 1/2 written by Robert J. Sternberg and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2016-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In graduate school, psychology students learn the formal, explicit knowledge of the field, but often not the tacit knowledge upon which academic careers are built -- how to organise oneself and one's resources to succeed in a challenging, competitive field. In this second edition of his popular Psychology 101�, eminent psychologist Robert J. Sternberg updates and extends a trove of wisdom gleaned from decades of experience in various academic settings and leadership positions. In his signature straightforward, intellectually honest, and pragmatic style, he imparts life lessons for building a successful and gratifying career. This revision features lessons in five basic categories: identity and integrity, interpersonal relationships, institutions and academia, problems and tasks, and job and career. Recent developments in the field are covered, and new questions at the end of each lesson prompt readers to explore their understanding of the lesson and to apply it to their own circumstances. Valuable to academic psychologists at any level, this book will be especially prized by graduate students, post-doctorates, and early-career professors.

Download or read book Thinking 101 written by Woo-kyoung Ahn and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An INVALUABLE RESOURCE to anyone who wants to think better.” —Gretchen Rubin Award-winning YALE PROFESSOR Woo-kyoung Ahn delivers “A MUST-READ—a smart and compellingly readable guide to cutting-edge research into how people think.” (Paul Bloom) “A FUN exploration.” —Dax Shepard Psychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called “Thinking” to help students examine the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university’s most popular courses. Now, for the first time, Ahn presents key insights from her years of teaching and research in a book for everyone. She shows how “thinking problems” stand behind a wide range of challenges, from common, self-inflicted daily aggravations to our most pressing societal issues and inequities. Throughout, Ahn draws on decades of research from other cognitive psychologists, as well as from her own groundbreaking studies. And she presents it all in a compellingly readable style that uses fun examples from pop culture, anecdotes from her own life, and illuminating stories from history and the headlines. Thinking 101 is a book that goes far beyond other books on thinking, showing how we can improve not just our own daily lives through better awareness of our biases but also the lives of everyone around us. It is, quite simply, required reading for everyone who wants to think—and live—better.
Book Synopsis The Notebooks of a Successful Psychopath by : Willem Martens
Download or read book The Notebooks of a Successful Psychopath written by Willem Martens and published by Osmora Incorporated. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I worked for decades as psychoanalyst and researcher in forensic psychiatric settings with psychopaths. I was fascinated by those psychopaths who were cured and wrote my PhD-thesis about remission in psychopaths, which is a very rare phenomenon, indeed. I was astonished about the simplicity of ideas and misconceptions about psychopathy of other scholars. I knew from my own and other psychopaths experiences that the reality of the psychopathic condition was much more complex than they ever could conceive. This motivated me the write a number of articles in international journals in order to make an attempt to correct and complement current theories of psychopaths. I am retired now since 5 years and I enjoyed to be in the circumstance to focus myself completely on my old passion, namely composing of music. However, my repose was disturbed by a well-known scholar and friend who asked me to write a book about my own experienced as a psychopath. And so I decided to accept this last task before I should leave forever the scientific arena of the forensic psychiatry. And I do it with a good reason. Psychopaths might regard their features, attitude and behavior quite differently than their non-psychopathic counterparts and psychiatric researchers do. This distinction might be the result of a) ignorance of non-psychopaths about the true nature of this complex disorder, b) a very different perspective of psychopaths and non-psychopaths in analyzing this phenomenon, c) the fact that most empirical data is gathered from incarnated, criminal populations who are very able to manipulate tests (most of them know much about the PCL-R), assessments, researchers, and therapists (just for fun, revenge, hatred, or disgust) and d) a lack of utilization of and unavailability of reliable and voluntary self-reports of psychopaths in informal settings, and so on. Informal, non-academic and non-clinical settings are important because the psychopaths I investigated hate formal academic and clinical settings because they consider them as bulwarks of repressing authority which are harmful for them. They consider current theories and concepts of psychopathy as inadequate, incomplete, incorrect, stereotype which bring about stigmatization.

Book Synopsis My Second First Year by : Joseph R. Jones
Download or read book My Second First Year written by Joseph R. Jones and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Jones returned to the high school classroom after 15 years in higher education, most recently as an Associate Dean. This text chronicles his journey into his new teaching career. The premise of the text is framed on the attributes of a relational pedagogy. As such, the book discusses the relationships that Dr. Jones developed throughout the academic year. In this capacity, relational pedagogy allows the reader a unique lens through which to view the schooling process in this metropolitan southern town. In the book, Jones examines topics such as standardized testing, racism, sexuality, cheating, among other topics, through a critical theory paradigm. In doing so, Jones is able to interweave theoretical concepts within the daily actions of the schooling process. As such, the text is a unique reconceptualization of schools and the purpose of schools. Praise for My Second First Year: "In My Second First Year, Dr. Jones discusses his experiences leaving academia and returning to a high school English classroom, a daunting task that few academics would attempt. As a biologist and without affiliation with a teacher preparation program, I can attest to the importance of Jones’ work. This text illuminates the educational process for millions of children, which allows those of us not in the daily trenches of teaching K-12 students to experience the reality of our educational process. His discussions of school shootings, testing, and marginalization of students can become a catalyst that causes everyone in society to begin reexamining how we educate our children. Jones’ book could become the commencement point for educational reform." Linda Hensel, PhD Mercer University "In My Second First Year, Dr. Jones discusses his journey leaving higher education to return to a high school classroom. His powerful depictions of the realities of standardized testing, school shootings, racism, sexuality, and other topics cause the reader to reflect on all aspects of how children are educated. His use of relational pedagogy as his framework reminds us of the importance of positive relationships in schools and society. This text is a must read for anyone who advocates for our children." Nila Burt, EdS Assistant Principal Northside High School Georgia "Many of the stories in My Second First Year will be familiar to many teachers working in American PK-12 public schools as they will be similar to their own experiences. Dr. Jones takes us on a journey that many of us in academia would be apprehensive to take. By providing example after example, he demonstrates the significance of relational pedagogy and how it can increase the likelihood of student success. In this climate of student-to-college discourse, Jones provides evidence on how positive relations between teacher and students benefit all students regardless of post-secondary plans. This is significant for at the end of the day, the goal of schooling is about more than whether or not our students find employment. It is more important that students grow into caring, lifelong learners who can find happiness regardless of occupational goals. Jones reminds us all why we became teachers in the first place and—for many—why many teachers choose to stay in the profession." Vincent Youngbauer, PhD Mercer University

Book excerpt: Atlanta's Virginia-Highland neighborhood: depending on who you talk to, it's a historic suburb; or, a stylish entertainment district; or, a left-wing, political powerhouse; or a state-of-mind. It's also where Donovan Ford, an über-hip New York columnist who's unmotivated, under-employed and suddenly un-married, finds himself riding out his existential crisis. After years of writing about all that's trendy and new, he's begun to wonder what he has missed in life. That's until his octogenarian Aunt DeLaine loads him into her biodiesel Rolls-Royce with a thermos of Manhattans. Over the course of a year, she takes him on a ride of discovery, introducing him to local customs, southern flora, and society fauna (aka, Atlanta's Grande Dames) ...not to mention himself.
