Cambia tu Cerebro: para entrenar su cerebro para la disciplina, el coraje, la motivación y los buenos hábitos

Cambiar de cerebro no se trata solo de adquirir un hábito específico. Está tomando la resolución de cambiar su estilo de vida para crear la vida que desea tener. Si quieres una vida social robusta y una carrera exitosa, nunca lo conseguirás reteniendo por miedo a decir algo incorrecto. Las personas que prosperan en sus carreras son dueños de sus vidas. Han infundido confianza en sí mismos para que sus mentes los alienten. Se aseguran de que sus manos sean las que están en el volante del vehículo que es su vida. No hacen esto tratando de alcanzar el control sobre cada parte de sus vidas, sino dejando de lado lo que no tienen ningún impacto. Esto libera su tiempo y energía para que puedan concentrarse en lo que pueden controlar, que es su propio comportamiento. La vida está llena de contratiempos. Eso no es algo que podamos cambiar. Lo que podemos hacer es reaccionar ante ellos de una manera que funcione para encontrar una solución para ellos, o no. Para lograr lo primero, debes trabajar por lo que dices que quieres. Piensa en un momento en que has hecho algo con poca confianza en tu capacidad para hacerlo, y tu corazón no estaba en eso, por ejemplo, ir a una presentación cuando no te sientes bien. Ahora piense en cuándo sintió lo contrario: sentirse mejor, gustarle su aspecto y estar seguro de saber lo que se suponía que debía hacer. ¿En qué caso fue mejor tu rendimiento? Es por eso que cambiar tu cerebro está cambiando lo que puedes lograr. Si ha decidido que no puede hacer algo, terminará antes de que comience. Tal vez decidas que no sabes nada sobre una profesión, por lo que nunca podrías hacer una entrada al campo, o que nunca has sido del tipo social, por lo que no tiene sentido retomarla en este momento. No importa dónde se encuentre en su vida, nunca es demasiado tarde para cambiarlo. Tal vez no sea el pasado, pero las elecciones que haga ahora decidirán si su vida continúa de la misma

Cambodia's Curse: The Modern History of a Troubled Land

A generation after Pol Pot's regime killed one quarter of the nation's population, Cambodia shows every outward sign of having overcome its devastating history – the streets of Phnom Penh are paved; skyscrapers dot the skyline. But behind this façade lies a country still haunted by its years of terror. In 1992, the world came together to help pull the small nation out of the mire. Cambodia became a United Nations protectorate – the first and only time the UN has tried something so ambitious. What did the new, democratically elected government do with this unprecedented gift?In 2008 and 2009, Joel Brinkley – who won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the fall of the Khmer Rouge – returned to Cambodia to find out. He discovered a population in the grip of a venal government. He learned that between one third and one half of Cambodians who lived through the Khmer Rouge era suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and that its afflictions are being passed to the next generation. His extensive close-up reporting in Cambodia's Curse illuminates the country, its people, and the deep historical roots of its modern-day behaviour. This is a devastating and important look at Cambodia today.

Cambodian American Youth, Identity, and Schooling: Ethnographic Research

This book examines how Cambodian American high school youth reconcile stereotypes, identities, and school opportunities and the ways these factors impact academic achievement and well-being, through ethnographic research.The backdrop for Cambodian American life is intimately embedded within how Asians and Asian Americans are imagined within U.S. society. This book argues that how Cambodian American students negotiate certain identities are in relation to perceived advantages associated with ethnic and panethnic labels across varying social contexts. It highlights how the embrace of the model minority stereotype can come at a psychological cost for Asian Americans including increased feelings of internalized racism. The chapters draw on ethnographic research collected across two years in one Southern California community. Through students’ own meaning-making, it shows readers how Cambodian American youth are simultaneously invisible and hyper-visible in their school and community, which shapes access to important identities and relationships. This work invites interrogation of the Asian American category itself and seeks to move the fields of Asian American and educational studies forward by critically examining not only how the model minority stereotype is constructed and imposed but also how it can be adopted and affirmed by Asian American youth themselves.Practitioners who work with marginalized and underrepresented students and students of courses such as Asian American studies, anthropology, cultural studies, and education and psychology will find this to be a helpful and enlightening text. The accessible and clear writing makes this book of interest to a general audience as well.

Cambridge Approaches to Language Contact: The Emergence of Hybrid Grammars

Children are extremely gifted in acquiring their native languages, but languages nevertheless change over time. Why does this paradox exist? In this study of creole languages, Enoch Aboh addresses this question, arguing that language acquisition requires contact between different linguistic sub-systems that feed into the hybrid grammars that learners develop. There is no qualitative difference between a child learning their language in a multilingual environment and a child raised in a monolingual environment. In both situations, children learn to master multiple linguistic sub-systems that are in contact and may be combined to produce new variants. These new variants are part of the inputs for subsequent learners. Contributing to the debate on language acquisition and change, Aboh shows that language learning is always imperfect: learners' motivation is not to replicate the target language faithfully but to develop a system close enough to the target that guarantees successful communication and group membership.
