Book Synopsis Connected for Good by : John Stanley
Download or read book Connected for Good written by John Stanley and published by . This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best kind of generosity is done with others, not for others. People of means & substance are growing weary of fundraising run by charity leaders who've adopted the tactics of professional salespeople. They're looking for ways to make change that's important to them rather than just responding to an endless stream of appeals & campaigns. In Connected for Good, John Stanley explores the Generosity Gaps-places where men & women hold back their giving because "It's not the right time," "I don't have enough," or "I might be making a difference but I'm not seeing lasting change." He then presents a fresh playbook for generosity based on the heart's desire for connection. Going beyond the traditional time, talent & treasure, he encourages giving from the renewable currencies of relationships, strengths & resources. And he explores how to make use of the multiplier effect to greatly increase impact. With a clear gameplan for living generously, more & more of us will be connected for good.
Book Synopsis Connected by : Nicholas A. Christakis
Download or read book Connected written by Nicholas A. Christakis and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated scientists Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler explain the amazing power of social networks and our profound influence on one another's lives. Your colleague's husband's sister can make you fat, even if you don't know her. A happy neighbor has more impact on your happiness than a happy spouse. These startling revelations of how much we truly influence one another are revealed in the studies of Dr. Christakis and Fowler, which have repeatedly made front-page news nationwide. In Connected, the authors explain why emotions are contagious, how health behaviors spread, why the rich get richer, even how we find and choose our partners. Intriguing and entertaining, Connected overturns the notion of the individual and provides a revolutionary paradigm-that social networks influence our ideas, emotions, health, relationships, behavior, politics, and much more. It will change the way we think about every aspect of our lives.

Download or read book Social written by Matthew D. Lieberman and published by Crown. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are profoundly social creatures--more than we know. In Social, renowned psychologist Matthew Lieberman explores groundbreaking research in social neuroscience revealing that our need to connect with other people is even more fundamental, more basic, than our need for food or shelter. Because of this, our brain uses its spare time to learn about the social world--other people and our relation to them. It is believed that we must commit 10,000 hours to master a skill. According to Lieberman, each of us has spent 10,000 hours learning to make sense of people and groups by the time we are ten. Social argues that our need to reach out to and connect with others is a primary driver behind our behavior. We believe that pain and pleasure alone guide our actions. Yet, new research using fMRI--including a great deal of original research conducted by Lieberman and his UCLA lab--shows that our brains react to social pain and pleasure in much the same way as they do to physical pain and pleasure. Fortunately, the brain has evolved sophisticated mechanisms for securing our place in the social world. We have a unique ability to read other people’s minds, to figure out their hopes, fears, and motivations, allowing us to effectively coordinate our lives with one another. And our most private sense of who we are is intimately linked to the important people and groups in our lives. This wiring often leads us to restrain our selfish impulses for the greater good. These mechanisms lead to behavior that might seem irrational, but is really just the result of our deep social wiring and necessary for our success as a species. Based on the latest cutting edge research, the findings in Social have important real-world implications. Our schools and businesses, for example, attempt to minimalize social distractions. But this is exactly the wrong thing to do to encourage engagement and learning, and literally shuts down the social brain, leaving powerful neuro-cognitive resources untapped. The insights revealed in this pioneering book suggest ways to improve learning in schools, make the workplace more productive, and improve our overall well-being.
Book Synopsis Connected by Design by : Barry Wacksman
Download or read book Connected by Design written by Barry Wacksman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of fierce global competition and rapid technological change, traditional strategies for gaining market share and achieving efficiencies no longer yield the returns they once did. How can companies drive consumer preference and secure sustainable growth in this digital, social, and mobile age? The answer is through functional integration. Some of the world's most highly valued companies—including Amazon, Apple and Google—have harnessed this new business model to build highly interactive ecosystems of interrelated products and digital services, gaining new levels of customer engagement. Functional integration offers forward-looking brands a unique competitive edge by using transformative digital technologies to deliver high-value customer experiences, generate repeat business, and unlock lucrative new business-to-business revenue streams. Connected By Design is the first book to show business leaders and marketers exactly how to use functional integration to achieve transformative growth within any type of company. Based on R/GA's pioneering work with firms at the forefront of functional integration, Barry Wacksman and Chris Stutzman identify seven principles companies must follow in order to create and deliver new value for customers and capture new revenues. Connected By Design explains how functional integration drove the transformation of market-leading companies as diverse as Nike, General Motors, McCormick & Co., and Activision to establish authentic brand relationships with their customers, enter new categories, and develop new sources of income. With Connected by Design, any company can leverage technological disruption to redefine its mission and foster greater brand loyalty and engagement.

Book Synopsis A home-made crisis: The connection between the failure of good governance, mismanagement and the Maoist insurgency in Nepal by : Daniela Hinze
Download or read book A home-made crisis: The connection between the failure of good governance, mismanagement and the Maoist insurgency in Nepal written by Daniela Hinze and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2007-07-19 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Nepal a country which is located between its powerful neighbours India and China is one of the poorest countries in the world. Nepal has never enjoyed much press coverage, that is, until February 2005, when the king Gyanendra dissolved the Nepali government and announced the state of emergency , which allowed him to rule the country exclusively. The international community regarded this decision as non-democratic and called on the king to restore universal human rights which were suspended according to the declaration of the state of emergency. The king issued an official statement cited the ongoing, radicalised Maoist insurgency and the inability of the government to curb the movement as main reasons for his takeover. Nevertheless, high officials in the country and foreign observers question this pretence. During the conduction of my field research in Nepal, I considered a combination of multiple causes as main reasons for the protracted Nepalese conflict. The main conflict parties, the political elite including the monarch, and the Maoist movement have strong negative perceptions of each other. The perception that Maoists are undertaking terrorist attacks to come into power because they want to disturb the peace of a stabile regime should be regarded as misguided. Even if personal ambitions have to be considered, interviewees mentioned several times that the Maoists are responding to grievances within the Nepalese society and that the political elite could not provide the basic needs for its population. This assumption can be supported by the published 40-Point Demands of the Maoists, which includes the demands of political rights, liberties, economic and social security. It becomes apparent that those asserted claims call for social responsibility, equality and justice. Furthermore, this poses the question, of whether the Maoist insurgency is a form of indicator or warning signal of the political, economic and social situation in Nepal. In particular, it implies the fundamental question, how a state should operate and what kind of responsibilities the state has. The concept of good governance is regarded as a contemporary means and guarantor for an effective state. In every respect, good governance presupposes accountability, honesty or transparency of a state with all its institutions, but besides the structural characteristics the concept disregards the actions that will be undertaken by the [...]

Download or read book Networks, Crowds, and Markets written by David Easley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-19 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are all film stars linked to Kevin Bacon? Why do the stock markets rise and fall sharply on the strength of a vague rumour? How does gossip spread so quickly? Are we all related through six degrees of separation? There is a growing awareness of the complex networks that pervade modern society. We see them in the rapid growth of the internet, the ease of global communication, the swift spread of news and information, and in the way epidemics and financial crises develop with startling speed and intensity. This introductory book on the new science of networks takes an interdisciplinary approach, using economics, sociology, computing, information science and applied mathematics to address fundamental questions about the links that connect us, and the ways that our decisions can have consequences for others.

Book excerpt: Two German familiesone corrupt and Aryan, while the other honorable and Jewishform an unlikely and convoluted relationship spanning three generations. Then in June of 1944 comes the inevitable final reckoning. In the waning days of Nazi Germany, two larcenous conspiracies collide tragically in a forgotten backwater of war-ravaged Germany, both plans sabotaged by their lone common participant. Four people die, and four others simply disappear without a trace, though clearly not together. Also missing is a fortune in Nazi gold and artwork. The obscure incident generates a cryptic memo, which finds its way into the highest echelons of the Third Reich. Then the Reich falls, the incident, the treasure, and the memo all disappearing into history. In July 1970, a quarter-century later, the memo resurfaces. And the killings begin again. Drawn unsuspecting into the carnage, the descendants know only that they must unravel the puzzle before one of them becomes the next victim. But the trail is cold and the search frustrating, each new revelation taking them further back in history and deeper into the bizarre world of the Third Reich. And looming before them is the danger zone, a fanatic cabal of SS survivors determined to find the answers first.

Book excerpt: Is the doctrine of the Trinity really meant to be understood? Can it be applied to our everyday lives? Sam Allberry shows us that the Trinity really matters, and that this insight God gives us into himself has enormous implications for how we understand him and how we understand ourselves as beings made in his image. The Trinity shows us that God in his oneness is both unique and perfectly integrated. The relational qualities of his triune nature are eternal and foundational to our understanding of the unity and diversity of the church and the equality of and differences between men and women.

Download or read book Good Chemistry written by Julie Holland and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychiatrist and psychedelic researcher explores the science of connection—why we need it, how we’ve lost it, and how we might find it again. We are suffering from an epidemic of disconnection that antidepressants and social media can’t fix. This state of isolation puts us in “fight or flight mode,” deranging sleep, metabolism and libido. What’s worse, we’re paranoid of others. This kill-or-be-killed framework is not a way to live. But, when we feel safe and loved, we can rest, digest, and repair. We can heal. And it is only in this state of belonging that we can open up to connection with others. In this powerful book, Holland helps us to understand the science of connection as revealed in human experiences from the spiritual to the psychedelic. The key is oxytocin—a neurotransmitter and hormone produced in our bodies that allows us to trust and bond. It fosters attachment between mothers and infants, romantic partners, friends, and even with our pets. There are many ways to reach this state of mental and physical wellbeing that modern medicine has overlooked. The implications for our happiness and health are profound. We can find oneness in meditation, in community, or in awe at the beauty around us. Another option: psychedelic medicines that can catalyze a connection with the self, with nature, or the cosmos. Good Chemistry points us on the right path to forging true and deeper attachments with our own souls, to one another, and even to our planet, helping us heal ourselves and our world.
