The LDN Book: How a Little-Known Generic Drug - Low Dose Naltrexone - Could Revolutionize Treatment for Autoimmune Diseases, Cancer, Autism, Depression, and More
by Linda ElsegoodLow Dose Naltrexone (LDN) holds the potential to help millions of people suffering from various autoimmune diseases and cancers, and even autism, chronic fatigue, and depression, find relief. Administered off-label in small daily doses (0.5 to 4.5 mg), this generic drug is extremely affordable and presents few known side effects. So why has it languished in relative medical obscurity? The LDN Book explains the drug's origins, its primary mechanism, and the latest research from practicing physicians and pharmacists as compiled by Linda Elsegood of The LDN Research Trust, the world's largest LDN charity organization with over 19,000 members worldwide. Featuring ten chapters contributed by medical professionals on LDN's efficacy and two patient-friendly appendices, The LDN Book is a comprehensive resource for doctors, pharmacists, and patients who want to learn more about how LDN is helping people now, and a clarion call for further research that could help millions more.
The LDN Book: The Latest Research on How Low Dose Naltrexone Could Revolutionize Treatment for PTSD, Pain, IBD, Lyme Disease, Dermatologic Conditions, and More
by Linda ElsegoodA comprehensive examination of Low Dose Naltrexone—a little-known drug with big potential A drug that is simultaneously affordable, devoid of severe side effects, and applicable to a wide range of diseases is not often found in the modern pharmaceutical landscape. But as medical professionals and researchers alike continue to discover, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) boasts this remarkable combination. LDN, originally prescribed in higher doses as a treatment for opioid addiction, works by blocking opioid receptors, thereby stimulating the production of endorphins, mitigating the inflammatory process, and stabilizing the immune response. Prescribed off-label and administered in small daily doses, this generic drug has proven useful in treating many different ailments. Expanding on the information presented in The LDN Book, Volume 1—which showcased LDN’s efficacy in treating conditions such as lupus, thyroiditis, autism spectrum disorder, and chronic fatigue—Volume 2 highlights the latest clinical trials, case studies, and research on LDN. More than a dozen medical professionals explain how they are using LDN to help patients suffering from chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, dermatologic conditions, traumatic brain injury, Lyme disease, and more. The LDN Book, Volume 2 is both a resource for practitioners, pharmacists, and patients, and a renewed call for further research on the healing potential of this generic drug.
Le donné en question dans la phénoménologie et le néokantisme
by Virginie PaletteCet ouvrage explore les critiques du donné dans le néokantisme et la phénoménologie allemands. Il révèle la portée considérable de ces critiques, qui impliquent en même temps une controverse avec le positivisme de la fin du XIXème siècle et un dialogue substantiel avec l’Esthétique transcendantale de Kant. En posant les questions de la sensation et de la perception, la présente monographie permet de ménager un accès privilégié aux enjeux fondamentaux de la philosophie austro-allemande au tournant du XXème siècle. Lorsqu’il est question du donné ou des critiques du donné dans le discours philosophique contemporain, et cela arrive souvent dans les débats sur la perception en philosophie de l’esprit, c’est toujours à la controverse analytique autour du « mythe du donné » que l’on fait référence – controverse, qui a vu le jour en 1956, lorsque le philosophe américain Wilfrid Sellars publie Empirisme et philosophie de l’esprit. Or, il est intéressant d’observer que la critique sellarsienne du « mythe du donné » a été préfigurée, en un sens partiel mais important, par les objections que les néokantiens et les phénoménologues ont adressées à la notion de donné au tournant du XXesiècle. La présente monographie comble cette lacune béante de l’historiographie classique, qui a jusqu’ici accordé peu d’attention à la constance de cette critique dans toutes les philosophies marquées par l’héritage de Kant.

Le Piège de la violence et les jeunes (Perspectives alternatives en criminologie)
by Jacques LaplanteLa violence a multiples faces, toutes celles qu'on lui donne selon les soucis de l'heure et les jeunes font toujours partie de ces soucis. Le piège de la violence dans lequel le jeune peut tomber ne dépend pas uniquement de son agir, mais relève de la façon dont on appréhende cet agir en termes de violence. Ce piège ne dépend pas non plus uniquement de ce qu'est le jeune; il relève souvent de la manière dont on se saisit de sa personne pour en préciser le profil délinquant. Dans ce processus qui conduit souvent au pénal, le piège se referme sur le jeune et peut le détruire complètement. L'ouvrage examine comment cette violence particulière capable de détruire le jeune s'infiltre socialement. Cette violence n'a pas sa source dans quelque intervention extraordinaire de l'autorité étatique, mais bien dans un quotidien plus ou moins banal où rationalisations, peurs, intérêts, idéologies reconduisent les structures en place. La violence des jeunes prend la figure de l'institution qui la combat.

Leader Development for Transforming Organizations: Growing Leaders for Tomorrow (Applied Psychology Series)
by David V. Day Stephen J. Zaccaro Stanley M. HalpinThis book examines numerous topic areas that are considered to be especially relevant for making a strategic leader development investment. The topics covered are areas that have theoretical and empirical connections to important aspects of growth, change, adult development, and underlying abilities, skills, and competencies needed to lead effectively in times of great complexity. In addition, these are investment areas identified by the U.S. Army--a world-class organization faced with the need for radical transformation--as particularly relevant for success and survival. This book identifies key concerns in developing leaders and leadership, and in transforming organizations to better meet the challenges of a complex world.There are two aspects of this book that distinguish it from the numerous existing volumes on leadership in the scholarly and popular-press literatures. Most important, the overarching focus of the present book is on development. There are many offerings on the topic of leadership, but relatively few that focus on leader development--especially from a scholarly, academic perspective. Also, this volume offers a unique perspective in examining those underlying psychological competencies and processes that are viewed as especially relevant for leader development.The chapters that are collected in this edited volume were originally commissioned by the U.S. Army Research Institute as "white papers" to better help Army officers and researchers understand important issues in leader development. The present organization of the papers is around four central themes: a) Accelerating Leader Development, b) Cognitive Skills Development, c) Developing Practical and Emotional Intelligence, and d) Enhancing Team Skills.

Leader Thinking Skills: Capacities for Contemporary Leadership
by Michael D. Mumford Cory A. HiggsThis book examines the various thinking skills that leaders may need to find success in contemporary organizations and institutions, covering a wide array of skills that are held to be important by key leadership scholars. Bridging theory and practice, chapters summarize major findings with respect to a particular ability, knowledge, or skill, providing theoretical frameworks for understanding how these contribute to leader emergence and performance, and considering implications for leader selection, assessment, and development. The text appraises the existing research on the critical cognitive capabilities that underlie leader problem-solving and implications for the assessment and development of leadership potential in real-world settings. The role of creative thinking skills on leader performance is also addressed, bearing on the importance of processes such as problem definition and idea generation, but also using constraints to potentially stimulate creative thought. With contributions from some of the most eminent scholars working in the field of leadership, this book will be in invaluable resource to academics, researchers, graduate students, and professionals interested in leadership and leader skills, I/O psychology, and business management.

The Leader's Brain: Enhance Your Leadership, Build Stronger Teams, Make Better Decisions, and Inspire Greater Innovation with Neuroscience
by Michael PlattA pioneering neuroscientist reveals how brain science can transform how we think about leadership, team-building, decision-making, innovation, marketing, and more.Leadership is a set of abilities with which a lucky few are born. They’re the natural relationship builders, master negotiators and persuaders, and agile and strategic thinkers.The good news for the rest of us is that those abilities can be developed. In The Leader’s Brain: Enhance Your Leadership, Build Stronger Teams, Make Better Decisions, and Inspire Greater Innovation with Neuroscience, Wharton Neuroscience Initiative director Michael Platt explains how. Over two decades as a professor and practitioner in neuroscience, psychology, and marketing, Platt’s pioneering research has deepened our understanding of how key areas of the brain work—and how that understanding can be applied in business settings. Neuroscience is providing answers to many of leadership’s most vexing challenges. In The Leader’s Brain, Platt explains: Why two managers, when presented with the same set of information, make very different decisions; Why some companies (Apple) build strong social and emotional connections with their customers and others do not (Samsung); How some of the most significant events in sports history, like the “Miracle on Ice,” contain insights for how to build a team; Why even some of the most visionary business leaders can make disastrous decisions, and how to fix that.The Leader’s Brain relates findings like these, and many more, to help enhance leadership in an ever-shifting world entering a “new normal.” In this fast-reading and engaging guide, you’ll gain actionable insights you can put into practice as a leader. You will also learn what’s going on in your team’s brains when they are working in sync with one another, how you can tweak your message delivery to make sure others hear you, how to encourage greater creativity and innovation, and much more.
A Leader's Destiny: Why Psychology, Personality, and Character Make All the Difference
by Elias AboujaoudeA psychiatrist puts leadership &“on the couch,&” with a provocative exploration of its crucial, often ignored, psychological and personal character foundations. Elias Aboujaoude&’s distinctive exploration of leadership explains how our cultlike obsession with leadership gives narcissists and sociopaths an edge and results in leadership failure everywhere we look—and how resisting the imperative to rise at all costs leaves many with an inferiority complex. His takedown of the leadership industrial complex pokes a very sharp elbow into an industry seemingly united in a modern form of alchemy to create leadership gold—a waste of time and money, Aboujaoude vividly illustrates, since leaders emerge from a unique combination of personal, psychological, and situational factors that cannot be easily controlled or manipulated, no matter how gifted the executive coach. This bracing take on a classic subject provides new insight into the way psychology aligns with the requirements of effective and happy leadership. The result is to empower us to understand ourselves and step up if we have what it takes to lead—or find equally rewarding, often superior, ways to achieve fulfillment if we don&’t.
Leaders in Transition: The Tensions at Work as New Leaders Take Charge
by Gilles Amado Richard ElsnerLeaders in Transition brings a new perspective on why some leaders succeed more than others when taking charge of an organisation. Based on in-depth case studies, when four new leaders and their teams in large and complex international organisations were tracked for over a year, this book uncovers that success in managing transition is directly related to leaders' ability to balance tensions, appropriately to the context. The reasons for each leader's effectiveness are explored and analysed, allowing the authors then to extrapolate some general conclusions about the ways in which these tensions reveal themselves during all leadership transitions. Evidently, the success or failure of a new leader is the result of the way multiple actors (the new leader, his or her boss, his organisation and its stakeholders) behave, before and during the taking charge. These multiple interactions are revealed and discussed.
Leaders Who Lust: Power, Money, Sex, Success, Legitimacy, Legacy
by Barbara Kellerman Todd L. PittinskyAmong our greatest leaders are those driven by impulses they cannot completely control - by lust. Lust is not, however, an abstraction, it has definition. Definition that, given the impact of leaders who lust, is essential to extract. This book identifies six types of lust with which leaders are linked: 1. Power: the ceaseless craving to control. 2. Money: the limitless desire to accrue great wealth. 3. Sex: the constant hunt for sexual gratification. 4. Success: the unstoppable need to achieve. 5. Legitimacy: the tireless claim to identity and equity. 6. Legacy: the endless quest to leave a permanent imprint. Each of the core chapters focuses on different lusts and features a cast of characters who bring lust to life. In the real world leaders who lust can and often do have an enduring impact. This book therefore is counterintuitive - it focuses not on moderation, but on immoderation.
Leadership: The Operant Model of Effective Supervision (People and Organizations)
by Judith L. KomakiHow can managers motivate their employees? After conducting detailed field studies of work groups in settings as diverse as insurance company offices and regatta sailboats, Judith Komaki has identified two key behaviours that seem to distinguish effective from ineffective managers; monitoring workers' performance and communicating consequences. Drawing on her research over the last ten years, Komaki combines behavioural and cognitive theories of leadership and puts forward a new model for the study of leadership from an operant perspective.
Leadership: No More Heroes
by David Pendleton Adrian F. Furnham Jonathan CowellLeadership is most needed in times of change, uncertainty and crisis. We are living through those times. To support leaders in all spheres, this book provides a guide to the territory of leadership and its three domains: the strategic (head), the operational (hands) and the interpersonal (heart). It describes the tasks leaders have to achieve and explains the psychology of leadership based in personality. It argues strongly that complete leadership is the province of diverse teams of leaders made up of complementary differences. And now the best has just got better. The new edition shows how leadership has to change over time, describes how the most highly rated leaders achieve their goals and also elucidates the neuroscience of leadership to enhance understanding of leadership’s foundations. Pendleton, Furnham and Cowell’s work is a powerful combination of the best research on the psychology of leadership and years of iteration and practical implementation in the field – working with thousands of leaders from all walks of life and learning from their successes and challenges. There is no one secret recipe for success as a leader. What this book provides is a framework to enable you to achieve success in your own way.
Leadership 4.0 – Effektive Führung in der Arbeit 4.0: Manual (SpringerTests)
by Julia Nogga Jens RowoldWie können Führungskräfte in der digitalen Arbeitswelt ihre Mitarbeitenden bzw. Arbeitsteams motivieren und an die Organisation binden? Welche führungsbezogenen Verhaltensweisen sind dabei unverzichtbar? Welche Instrumente können Personaler*innen nutzen, um Führungskräfte auf die neuen Herausforderungen der Arbeitswelt 4.0 vorzubereiten? Hier erhalten Sie den ersten Fragebogen der Führungsverhalten in digitaler Umgebung messen kann.Wie von der Praxis benötigt, kombiniert dieses Modell eine Vielzahl effektiver Verhaltensweisen, woraus ein neuer Führungsstil entsteht. Dieser beinhaltet dabei vier Facetten von Verhaltensweisen, die nachgewiesenermaßen relevant für den Erfolg von Führungskräften und ihre jeweilige Organisation sind.Dazu zählen:a) die Partizipationb) die Arbeitsgestaltung (räumliche, zeitliche und technologisch)c) die individuelle Entwicklungd) die TeamentwicklungDie vier Facetten von bilden eine angemessene Grundlage, aktuelle Aufgaben und Probleme der organisationalen Praxis zu bewältigen. Durch die veränderten Arbeitsbedingungen der Arbeit 4.0 ergeben sich zahlreiche Herausforderungen, mit denen Führungskräfte in Unternehmen konfrontiert sind. Die Grenzen zwischen Erwerbsarbeit und privatem Freizeitbereich verwischen zunehmend, sodass Mitarbeitende einerseits mehr Partizipation, andererseits mehr subjektiv erlebte Relevanz in ihrem Job erleben möchten. Deswegen müssen Führungskräfte ihren Mitarbeitenden die Möglichkeit geben, sich an Entscheidungen im Unternehmen zu beteiligen. Dies kann erfolgen, indem Führungskräfte ihren Mitarbeitenden ermöglichen, Einfluss auf Arbeitsinhalte zu nehmen oder Prozessinnovationen anzustoßen.Da ein Fachkräftemangel auf dem Arbeitsmarkt herrscht, steigt die Bedeutung, kompetente Mitarbeitende im Unternehmen zu halten. Wenn es darum geht, die emotionale Verbundenheit der Mitarbeitenden mit dem Unternehmen zu fördern, spielen Führungskräfte eine wichtige Rolle. Dass Führungskräfte dieses affektive Commitment bei den Mitarbeitenden hervorbringen können, ist von empirischen Studien belegt. Diesbezüglich ist auch die Arbeitszufriedenheit der Mitarbeitenden von Relevanz, denn viele Studien bestätigen den Zusammenhang von Führung und Arbeitszufriedenheit.
Leadership Across Boundaries: A Passage to Aporia (Leadership: Research and Practice)
by Nathan HarterLeadership Across Boundaries: A Passage to Aporia theorizes on leadership in an unprecedented manner by stepping outside of conventional leadership theory and importing into leadership studies the implications of certain innovations in the social sciences, such as pluralism, complexity theory, and the dialogical turn, to change the way scholars discuss and study leadership. Leadership Across Boundaries anchors theoretical passages that generate a new way of imagining what it means to lead and follow with concrete examples about Martin Luther, the Common Law, dialogue as a practice, a painting by Diego Velázquez, synchronized fireflies, and the strange career of Francis of Assisi. This book acknowledges the limitations of existing leadership research as being too leader-centric, simplistic, static, and in many cases oblivious to the power of images to shape our understanding. To rectify these limitations, Leadership Across Boundaries examines alternative images of leadership grounded in concrete examples that present leadership in an unprecedented light. The book includes a discussion of invigorating ideas of homeward leadership (looking backward), extra-ordinary leadership (going forward), and what will be defined as the perennial need for aikido politics. An interdisciplinary text, Leadership Across Boundaries: A Passage to Aporia will appeal not only to scholars, instructors, and students of leadership, but also to those in the many fields in which leadership theory applies, such as history, economics, sociology, archetypal psychology, the law, political philosophy, applied mathematics, and the martial arts.
Leadership after COVID-19: Working Together Toward a Sustainable Future (Future of Business and Finance)
by Satinder K. Dhiman Joan F. MarquesThe COVID-19 pandemic has permanently changed lives around the world and no dimension of life and leadership seems to have been spared from its wrath. It has also stirred us into thinking about novel approaches to lead organizations and societies toward a shared, sustainable future. This book offers novel perspectives on leadership and change management after the COVID-19 pandemic that take us beyond striving for thriving—perspectives that are grounded in emergent theory, research and practice. It highlights sustainable leadership and change management strategies to effectively deal with unpredictable and rapidly changing situations—particularly in a world that is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). This book also highlights engaging perspectives by specialists from different disciplines such as business, psychology, education, and health care. It serves as a practical guide in identifying and responding to leadership challenges and opportunities in each of the four VUCA categories of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—and how they affect businesses, organizations, and societies as a whole.
