Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Financial Times Book of the Month: "An enchanting book about how to question the conventional, challenge the status quo, and unlock the creative solutions right under your nose." --Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals, Give and Take, and Option B with Sheryl Sandberg "Unsafe Thinking delivers an array of fresh insights on creativity, motivation, and staying in 'flow.' Packed with powerful case studies, it will propel you out of your rut and onto a path of better, sharper thinking." -- Daniel H. Pink, author of When and To Sell Is Human How can you challenge and change yourself when you need it most? We're creatures of habit, programmed by evolution to favor the safe and familiar, especially when the stakes are high. This bias no longer serves us in a world of constant change. In fact, today, safe thinking has become extremely dangerous. Through stories of trailblazers in business, health, education and activism, and leveraging decades of research into creativity and performance, Jonah Sachs reveals a path to higher performance and creativity for anyone ready to step out of their comfort zone. He introduces troublemakers willing to challenge corporate culture like the executive who convinced CVS to drop its multibillion-dollar tobacco business. She now leads the pharmacy giant. Readers will get firsthand accounts of breaking from the status quo from a Nobel prize winning doctor who nearly got himself thrown out medicine, a two-time NBA championship coach who brought joy back to his team by tuning down the focus on competition, a CEO who rebuilt her reputation and life from the ashes from one of the biggest flops in internet history and a Colombian mayor who started an incredibly successful career of political reform by mooning an angry crowd. Unsafe Thinking is full of counter-intuitive insights that will challenge you to rethink how you work. You'll learn: Why your area of deep expertise is often where you'll find your biggest blind spots Why anxiety can be fuel for creativity When to trust intuition and when to challenge it How collaborating only with those that share your values stunts your creativity How to build an organization that embraces intelligent risk. An inspiring and accessible read, Unsafe Thinking has the power to change both the way you approach your work and your life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book of wonderful wisdom on workplace safety for three primary reasons: 1. The complete furnishing of personal-protection principles and practices 2. The common work of the workplace 3. The complex instruction of groups of workers in the workplace These three primary reasons (as I strongly believe) serve as real keys to achieving the noble goal of a safe workplace: To unite workers in the belief that they can be safe To unite workers in the wisdom of workplace safety To bring workers to a mature state of complete oneness in purpose To bring workers to the point of being wise workers Though the wonderful wisdom of this book reserves the real potential to become universal, it is primarily targeted at steel millssome of the most dangerous places in the world, to work. I firmly believe wisdom of workplace safety is the Master Key to producing wise workers. Wise workers are the first principle to being safe workers. Safe workers are the secret to a safe workplace. A safe workplace is, without a doubt, the noblest of goals that can be set and striven toward by any steel mill. L. A. Jones

Download or read book The Coddling of the American Mind written by Greg Lukianoff and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something is going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and afraid to speak honestly. How did this happen? First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths are incompatible with basic psychological principles, as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. They interfere with healthy development. Anyone who embraces these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—is less likely to become an autonomous adult able to navigate the bumpy road of life. Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to produce these untruths. They situate the conflicts on campus in the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization, including a rise in hate crimes and off-campus provocation. They explore changes in childhood including the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines.

Book excerpt: The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear can't help you in a dangerous situation. A former FBI profiler shows you what can.

Whether you are opening the door to a stranger or meeting a date you connected with online, you need to know how to protect yourself from harm-physical, financial, legal, and professional. Using the SMART method, which O'Toole developed and used at the FBI, we can confidently know how to: Respond to a threat in any situation Hire someone who will work inside your home like a contractor or housekeeper Figure out whether a prospective employee is a safe bet Know whom you can trust with your children An especially useful book for women living alone, parents who are concerned about their children's safety, and employers worried about employees who might go postal, Dangerous Instincts gives us the tools used by professionals to navigate potentially hazardous waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An array of fresh insights on creativity, motivation and staying in "flow".' Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and To Sell Is Human Safe thinking is everywhere. It defines our everyday routines, work habits and ideas. There's just one problem with it: in a world of constant change, it ultimately lets us down. In Unsafe Thinking, creativity guru Jonah Sachs demonstrates that the most remarkable and trail-blazing individuals - from the maverick Google programmer who came up with Gmail, to the Colombian mayor who employed mime artists to transform his city's traffic problem - are those who reject the lure of what they already know. He draws on cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to uncover the mental processes that lead to successful innovation. And he reveals how you too can learn to adopt the boldly innovative mindset that will help you thrive in life and in business. 'An enchanting book about how to question the conventional, challenge the status quo, and unlock the creative solutions right under your nose.' Adam Grant, author of Originals 'A blazingly original book . . . Destined to become a classic.' Mary Karr, author of The Liars' Club 'Practical and truly entertaining . . . A must-read for anyone facing a changing world.' Jonah Berger, author of Contagious

Book excerpt: The academy is in crisis. Students call for speakers to be banned, books to be slapped with trigger warnings and university to be a Safe Space, free of offensive words or upsetting ideas. But as tempting as it is to write off intolerant students as a generational blip, or a science experiment gone wrong, they’ve been getting their ideas from somewhere. Bringing together leading journalists, academics and agitators from the US and UK, Unsafe Space is a wake-up call. From the war on lad culture to the clampdown on climate sceptics, we need to resist all attempts to curtail free speech on campus. But society also needs to take a long, hard look at itself. Our inability to stick up for our founding, liberal values, to insist that the free exchange of ideas should always be a risky business, has eroded free speech from within.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlock your potential and finally move forward. A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don't change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation aren't enough: even when it's literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive. Given that the status quo is so potent, how can we change ourselves and our organizations? In Immunity to Change, authors Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey show how our individual beliefs--along with the collective mind-sets in our organizations--combine to create a natural but powerful immunity to change. By revealing how this mechanism holds us back, Kegan and Lahey give us the keys to unlock our potential and finally move forward. And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us. This persuasive and practical book, filled with hands-on diagnostics and compelling case studies, delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.

Download or read book Safe People written by Henry Cloud and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe People will help you discover why good people can get tangled in bad relationships, how to avoid repeating your own mistakes, and how to pick safe, healthy people for the friends you make and the company you keep. Too many of us have invested in relationships that have gone wrong. Maybe you've been judged, manipulated, or controlled. Or maybe you've trusted the wrong people in the past. It's easy to make the same mistakes of judgment over and over--or, worse, to give up on trying to have great, authentic relationships again. But it doesn't have to be that way. In Safe People, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend teach you that being with an unsafe person can be damaging to your confidence, your trust in others, and even your health. You'll learn that you have the power to surround yourself with accepting, honest, and safe people who draw you closer to being the person God intended you to be. Drs. Cloud and Townsend, authors of the New York Times bestseller Boundaries, are here to share the lessons they've learned in their years of practicing psychology and studying the patterns and practices that support clear, biblical boundaries. In Safe People, they offer guidance for making safe choices in all of your day-to-day relationships, from family and friends to colleagues and partners. Safe People will give you the tools you need to recognize what makes people relationally safe, form positive relationships, and even become a safe person along the way. Drs. Cloud and Townsend share expert insights that will help you ask important questions: How can I learn to pick better friends? Why do I choose people who let me down? How did I end up with this critical boss? How do I attract irresponsible people? Why did I invest money with that unscrupulous person? What is it about me that draws the wrong types of people to me? Why am I drawn to the wrong types of people? It's time to revitalize your connections and finally start enjoying the healthy, balanced relationships that you deserve.

Download or read book The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump written by Bandy X. Lee and published by Thomas Dunne Books. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As this bestseller predicted, Trump has only grown more erratic and dangerous as the pressures on him mount. This new edition includes new essays bringing the book up to date—because this is still not normal. Originally released in fall 2017, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump was a runaway bestseller. Alarmed Americans and international onlookers wanted to know: What is wrong with him? That question still plagues us. The Trump administration has proven as chaotic and destructive as its opponents feared, and the man at the center of it all remains a cipher. Constrained by the APA’s “Goldwater rule,” which inhibits mental health professionals from diagnosing public figures they have not personally examined, many of those qualified to weigh in on the issue have shied away from discussing it at all. The public has thus been left to wonder whether he is mad, bad, or both. The prestigious mental health experts who have contributed to the revised and updated version of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump argue that their moral and civic "duty to warn" supersedes professional neutrality. Whatever affects him, affects the nation: From the trauma people have experienced under the Trump administration to the cult-like characteristics of his followers, he has created unprecedented mental health consequences across our nation and beyond. With eight new essays (about one hundred pages of new material), this edition will cover the dangerous ramifications of Trump's unnatural state. It’s not all in our heads. It’s in his.

Book excerpt: 在亟需開創新局的今日，愈懂得違反本能的思考， 愈能在工作與人生取得非凡成功！ 今時今日的世界，不停在尋求新的可能， 偏偏經驗、專業、知識的累積反而會成為創新的絆腳石， 愈想要追求新視野與格局，卻愈故步自封， 因為這些會讓人容易害怕未知，難以想像、創造新的可能。 這就是約翰・薩克斯當時所面臨的困境！ 薩克斯當初正是以大膽、獨特的創意用影片推動社會改革， 在當時尚未有線上影片的時代，每支影片能創造三千多萬的點閱率， 他以冒險的創意出名，公司更是以此闖下名號，事業不斷壯大。 薩克斯把這些想法、經驗變成一套成功架構寫成了書， 成為人們仰望的創意大師。 然而，這個成功架構不管套用在團隊、案子、公司管理上都出現問題。 團隊出現裂痕、成員抱怨綁手綁腳、創意不斷流失， 死守所謂的創意做法，卻反而扼殺了種種創意。 薩克斯隨後發現更大的危機是他回不去了。 他不敢放棄這套賴以有效擴張事業的規則，又明白可能要不了多久就土崩瓦解。 因為人們面臨抉擇時，總是傾向「安全思考」（SAFE THINKING）， 第一步會進入到憂患意識， 第二步就會出現負面情緒， 最後就會採取安全行為。 諷刺的是，在不穩定且複雜的情況下，採取安全牌的方法反而增加失敗的風險。 他著手研究更多大膽創新者，他們甘冒高度風險、違抗傳統，並帶給世界創新的一擊， 這到底是天生的才能，或者是可學習的思考技術？ 薩克斯破解人們一直在其中窒礙難行之處，並以最新科學論點佐證， 大膽思考的可行性圍繞在六個關鍵，才能不斷克服現實的障礙、激發創意。 如何克服「安全思考」的偏見，對於個人和企業將是急迫的問題。 作者根據個人經驗、訪問了業界的成功人士，並探討相關科學根據， 如何不被慣性思考綁架，破解人們一直在其中窒礙難行之處，勇於行動。 教導大眾如何成為一個創新的大膽思考家（unsafe thinker），顛覆你的既定思考。 大膽思考1：想要大膽，先學會不安 ★保持優勢，就不能打安全牌 ★敢恐懼，就敢大膽思考 學甘地安於焦慮，反得成功 大膽思考2：隨時都能把動機化為幹勁 ★善用各種動機，掌握個人成功 1. 動機鍊金術＝內在動機＋外在壓力 2. 誰說做喜歡的事，會比較容易成功？ ★如何一直喜歡挑戰？ 1. 成功人士利用心流，擺脫工作倦怠 2. 有時需要一點分心，才能更專注 大膽思考3：真正的專業，是經驗與創新並行 ★我們都想要老鳥的經驗與新手的觀點 1. 專業是處理已知，但貧於面對改變 2. 跨足陌生領域，找回學習的能力 ★破解專家的心理隱憂，提高創新能力 1. 一旦有「優於平均」心態，就會提高誤判的機率 2. 專家都自認很懂，因此難接受新的方法 大膽思考4：成功人士相信直覺，也會違反直覺 ★創新人士常用直覺成功 直覺是每個人都有的隱藏天賦 ★讓科學駕馭直覺，決策更精準 1. 如何不把偏見誤認為直覺 2. 如何不把情緒誤認為直覺| ★把違反直覺訓練成本能 如何培養反直覺的創意？ 外行人用反直覺降低美式足球死亡率 大膽思考5：這是遊走道德邊緣還是打破傳統？ ★創新勢必與規則有衝突 1. 對抗規則可以，要有前提 2. 鼓勵正向的違抗，重新思考規則 3. 洞悉自己的缺點，是創新的養分 ★怎麼激發創新？與敵人合作 大膽思考6：想變得更強？不能只有你自己 ★如何讓他人變大膽？ 1. 鼓勵不服從 2. 團隊是感覺很好，還是事情做好？ 3. 尋求有益的衝突 4. 從邊緣蒐集點子
