Book Synopsis Fierce Self-Compassion by : Dr. Kristin Neff
Download or read book Fierce Self-Compassion written by Dr. Kristin Neff and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Self-Compassion follows up her groundbreaking book with new ideas that expand our notion of self-kindness and its capacity to transform our lives, showing women how to balance tender self-acceptance with fierce action to claim their power and change the world. Kristin Neff changed how we talk about self-care with her enormously popular first book, Self-Compassion. Now, ten years and many studies later, she expands her body of work to explore a brand-new take on self-compassion. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be with ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce. We must also act courageously in order to protect ourselves from harm and injustice, say no to others so we can meet our own needs, and motivate necessary change in ourselves and society. Gender roles demand that women be soft and nurturing, not angry or powerful. But like yin and yang, the energies of fierce and tender self-compassion must be balanced for wholeness and wellbeing. Drawing on a wealth of research, her personal life story and empirically supported practices, Neff demonstrates how women can use fierce and tender self-compassion to succeed in the workplace, engage in caregiving without burning out, be authentic in relationships, and end the silence around sexual harassment and abuse. Most women intuitively recognize fierceness as part of their true nature, but have been discouraged from developing it. Women must reclaim their power in order to create a healthier society and find lasting happiness. In this wise, caring, and enlightening book, Neff shows women how to reclaim balance within themselves, so they can help restore balance in the world.
Book Synopsis The God-Defined Self by : Andr D. Davis
Download or read book The God-Defined Self written by Andr D. Davis and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andre D. Davis takes a sobering look at the historical system of racism in America and its impact on black and brown people worldwide in his book The God-Defined Self. No matter how much black and brown Americans attempt to fit themselves into the mold desired by white America, they are not and will not be accepted as equals or be afforded the same opportunities as their white brothers and sisters in this country. From a layman's point of view, Davis investigates how this American form of discrimination has produced a class of people who no longer feel that racism is a key issue in our society. His intelligent appeal to politicians, clergy, corporate leaders, and the news media to use their power and influence to open the lines of communication offers a clear path to a brighter future. Only through this type of honest conversation will it be possible to eradicate racism both in America and abroad. Author Andre D. Davis was inspired to write this book by the God he serves and the people who endeavor to see His word manifested in all our lives. He lives with his family in Lansing, Michigan, and has several more books in the works. Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TheGodDefinedSelf.htm

Book excerpt: Kristin Neff, Ph.D., says that it’s time to “stop beating yourself up and leave insecurity behind.” Self-Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind offers expert advice on how to limit self-criticism and offset its negative effects, enabling you to achieve your highest potential and a more contented, fulfilled life. More and more, psychologists are turning away from an emphasis on self-esteem and moving toward self-compassion in the treatment of their patients—and Dr. Neff’s extraordinary book offers exercises and action plans for dealing with every emotionally debilitating struggle, be it parenting, weight loss, or any of the numerous trials of everyday living.
Book Synopsis The Sociology of Adult & Continuing Education by : Peter Jarvis
Download or read book The Sociology of Adult & Continuing Education written by Peter Jarvis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive sociological overview of adult and continuing education. It draws on all branches of sociology rather than advocating one approach. It examines the theories of all the significant sociological writers in the field such as Knowles, Marx, Freire and Gramsci and sets them in the broader intellectual context. It also considers the content of the curriculum in adult education and the place of adult education in society at large. The author indicates the strengths and weaknesses of the different sociological perspectives and demonstrates how they can be used to analyse the function and purpose of adult and continuing education.
Book Synopsis Beyond Liberal and Conservative by : William S. Maddox
Download or read book Beyond Liberal and Conservative written by William S. Maddox and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 1984-12-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politicians and political analysts continue to use a single liberal-conservative dimension to analyze the ideological views of the American people, but that approach is increasingly inadequate. Professors Maddox and Lilie have gone beyond the liberal-conservative continuum. By separating questions aof economic policy from issues involving civil liberties, they find four basic ideological group: liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and populists. This book goes a long way toward explaining such phenomena as ticket-splitting, the impact of the baby-boom generation, and the internal conflicts both major parties will face over the next few years.
Book Synopsis The Power of Self by : LeNora Millen
Download or read book The Power of Self written by LeNora Millen and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-01-18 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of Self, once natural and intimate to man speaks of the internal flame burning with the intensity of a time when humankind embraced power with a force that speaks to God and nature. It was natural for man to breathe the energy of the gods into the lungs, as the evolving of thought manifested upon man’s entire existence. Also bestowed upon man, was enlightenment, which on occasion was re-ignited to conquer and consume darkness of thought. In the midst of standing within the shadows of doubt and fear, the light that resonated inward was set free upon the soil from which thought springs forth. Within the vastness of the universe, nature taunts man to reconnect to a forgotten power, as the fluttering wings of the butterfly, soaring above the winds of change, is likened to the phoenix rising from the ashes only to emerge with renewed spirit and hope. Whispers of generations past tap into the conscious of a people connected to all that is—in the stillness of the moment, they await another sign. Foretelling of things to come within the skies, the rainforest echo’s the cries of the ancestor’s warnings. They communicate telepathically—no words spoken, the energy spoke for them instead. Connecting with nature, while giving homage to the trees firmly rooted within the earth's surface, the spark within man began to dim, the “I am” would venture deep within the psyche of man. Why and how did man lose touch with the essence of such a powerful inner strength? Is it possible to transform thinking to connect to the “I am?” The Power of Self is not just a book about transforming and evolving; this book is about intimacy with self, far beyond merely knowing self, which is key to becoming more aware and self-empowered.
Book Synopsis The Limits of the Self by : Thomas Pradeu
Download or read book The Limits of the Self written by Thomas Pradeu and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012-02-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunology asserts that an individual can be defined through self and nonself. Thomas Pradeu argues that this theory is inadequate, because immune responses to self constituents and immune tolerance of foreign entities are the rule, not the exception.
Book Synopsis Ethnic Studies Research by : Timothy P. Fong
Download or read book Ethnic Studies Research written by Timothy P. Fong and published by AltaMira Press. This book was released on 2008-05-02 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study of ethnic groups and race relations have always existed in the academy, primarily in the areas of sociology and anthropology. However, grassroots movements for ethnic studies programs and departments came about with very different agendas for the study of these groups. It is surprising, then, that relatively few books devoted to these methods exist to document and promote this innovation among succeeding generations of graduate students, as well as current academics and professional practitioners. Ethnic Studies Research synthesizes and benchmarks ethnic studies methodologies as interdisciplinary modes of inquiry, providing state-of-the-art summary chapters on key methods and issues, extensive bibliographies, and promising new directions for the future.

Download or read book Puerto Rico written by Nancy Morris and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1995-10-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses historical and interview data to trace the development of Puerto Rican identity in the 20th century. It analyzes how and why Puerto Ricans have maintained a clear sense of distinctiveness in the face of direct and indirect pressures on their identity. After gaining sovereignty over Puerto Rico from Spain in 1898, the United States undertook a sustained campaign to Americanize the island. Despite 50 years of active Americanization and another 40 years of continued United States sovereignty over the island, Puerto Ricans retain a sense of themselves as distinctly and proudly Puerto Rican. This study examines the symbols of Puerto Rican identity, and their use in the complex politics of the island. It shows that identity is dynamic, it is experienced differently by individuals across Puerto Rican society, and that the key symbols of Puerto Rican identity have not remained static over time. Through the study of Puerto Rico, the book investigates and challenges the widely-heard argument that the inevitable result of the export of U.S. mass media and consumer culture throughout the world is the weakening of cultural identities in receiving societies. The book develops the idea that external pressure on collective identity may strengthen that identity rather than, as is often assumed, diminish it.
Book Synopsis Identity and Ethics in the Book of Ruth by : Peter H. W. Lau
Download or read book Identity and Ethics in the Book of Ruth written by Peter H. W. Lau and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study demonstrates the importance of including narrative ethics in a construction of Old Testament ethics, as a correction for the current state of marginalisation of narrative in this discipline. To this end, the concept of identity is used as a lens through which to understand and derive ethics. Since self-conception in ancient Israel is generally held to be predominantly collectivist in orientation, social identity theory is used to understand ancient Israelite identity. Although collectivist sensitivities are important, a social identity approach also incorporates an understanding of individuality. This approach highlights the social emphases of a biblical text, and consequently assists in understanding a text's original ethical message. The book of Ruth is used as a test case, employing a social identity approach for understanding the narrative, but also to model the approach so that it can be implemented more widely in study of the Old Testament and narrative ethics. Each of the protagonists in the book of Ruth is examined in regards to their personal and social self-components. This study reveals that the narrative functions to shape or reinforce the identity of an ancient Israelite implied reader. Since behavioural norms are an aspect of identity, narrative also influences behaviour. A social identity approach can also highlight the social processes within a society. The social processes taking place in the two most commonly proposed provenances for the book of Ruth are discussed: the Monarchic and Persian Periods. It is found that the social emphases of the book of Ruth most closely correspond to the social undercurrents of the Persian Period. On this basis, a composition for the book of Ruth in the Restoration period is proposed.

Book Synopsis The Idea of the Self by : Jerrold Seigel
Download or read book The Idea of the Self written by Jerrold Seigel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-17 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the self? The question has preoccupied people in many times and places, but nowhere more than in the modern West, where it has spawned debates that still resound today. In this 2005 book, Jerrold Seigel provides an original and penetrating narrative of how major Western European thinkers and writers have confronted the self since the time of Descartes, Leibniz, and Locke. From an approach that is at once theoretical and contextual, he examines the way figures in Britain, France, and Germany have understood whether and how far individuals can achieve coherence and consistency in the face of the inner tensions and external pressures that threaten to divide or overwhelm them. He makes clear that recent 'postmodernist' accounts of the self belong firmly to the tradition of Western thinking they have sought to supersede, and provides an open-ended and persuasive alternative to claims that the modern self is typically egocentric or disengaged.
Book Synopsis Working With Archival Data by : Glen H. Elder
Download or read book Working With Archival Data written by Glen H. Elder and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1993 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of longitudinal data archives is growing almost daily, yet no resource exists to help understand the relationship between research questions and archival data--until now. Drawing on a single project, the Lewis Terman Study at Stanford University, the authors illustrate how to use the model-fitting process to select and fit the right data set to a particular research problem. Employing a step-by-step approach, this handy volume covers the measurement of historical influences, the adaptation of existing coding schemes to temporal patterns that are characteristic of life records, and the recasting of archival materials to illuminate contemporary questions that the data were not designed to answer.

Book Synopsis Intercultural Public Relations by : Lan Ni
Download or read book Intercultural Public Relations written by Lan Ni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercultural Public Relations: Theories for Managing Relationships and Conflicts with Strategic Publics develops a coherent framework to unify the theories of public relations and intercultural communication, and, within the framework, examines empirical studies of intercultural interactions. This book follows an intercultural approach, which considers how individuals and entities with dissimilar cultural identities interact and negotiate to solve problems and reach mutually satisfying outcomes. This work provides a theory-driven, empirically supported framework that will inform and guide the research and practices of intercultural public relations. Furthermore, it provides numerous levels of analysis and incorporates the use and challenges of social media. The book examines theories and issues in three integrated processes: Identification of publics Relationship management Conflict resolution These areas represent the most critical functions that public relations contributes to organizational effectiveness: scanning the environment, identifying strategic publics, and building long-term, quality relationships with these publics to reduce costs, gain support, and empower the publics themselves. In doing so, the book adopts simultaneously public-centered and organization-centered perspectives. This unique work will serve as an essential reference for students, practitioners, and scholars in today’s global public relations environment.
