Codzienne inspiracje
by Kasia Kulesa Ulrike MariaOpis książki: W dzisiejszych czasach w Internecie można znaleźć wiele twierdzeń, które zdają się być mądre, prawdziwe i wskazujące dobry kierunek. Nic one jednak nie znaczą, jeśli aktywnie ich nie zastosujesz. Twoje życie nie ulegnie zmianie jeśli każdego dnia nie wprowadzisz w życie nowych i ulepszonych przemyśleń. Moja praca polega na pokazaniu jak krok po kroku zmienić mój i Twój sposób myślenia. Odnosi się ona również do wyższych koncepcji Wszechświata, łącząc Jednostkę ze Świadomością Wszechświata; pamiętając, że wszyscy jesteśmy Jednością. Ukazuję zupełnie inne i praktyczne podejście, do przyjęcia przez każdego kto ma szczerą chęć ulepszenia swojego życia i otoczenia. Mówię o zastosowaniu a nie stwierdzeniu prawdy. Nieważne jak często powtarzasz jakieś stwierdzenie, możesz być pewny, że nie sprawdzi się dopóki nie wprowadzisz go w czyn. Być może myślisz, że znasz Prawa Wszechświata i rozumiesz niektóre idee 4 wymiaru-... ale co wtedy? Wiarygodność i zrozumienie wynika z doświadczenia. Udowadniania sobie, że Prawa działają i w jaki sposób działają. Aby znaleźć Prawdę potrzeba Zaangażowania. "Szukajcie a znajdziecie" - to potrzeba silnego pragnienia aby zrozumieć dzieło Życia. Potrzeba przekonania do uczenia się, nauczania i ciekawości. Wszyscy jesteśmy uczniami i nauczycielami. Uczymy się od siebie nawzajem. W innych widzimy to co podziwiamy lub odrzucamy, w zależności od tego czego chcemy się nauczyć. Najważniejsze jest aby poznać tę prawdę i użyć tego cennego narzędzia w samodoskonaleniu.

Coffee With A Coffin: Permanent Lessons From The Impermanence Of Life
by Alok RanjanAn invaluable resource and essential reading for &‘anyone who is alive&’!There is only one certainty in life—Death. No one is immune from it. And yet we still find it difficult to talk about it. It remains a taboo subject and when faced with it, people turn to things they believe will shield them from it.

Coffee with a Coffin aims to change this narrative and the way we view death and, in turn, life. Through edifying anecdotes and real-life stories, the author gives readers an eye-opening perspective on death and highlights the immense capabilities of man once he accepts his mortality. The book combines inspiration, humour, and intelligence to showcase the significance of acknowledging our impermanence to lead a more meaningful/fruitful and fulfilling life.In a nutshell, Coffee with a Coffin is an invitation to redefine your life by discovering what it truly means to be alive!
Cognitive Automation and Organizational Psychology: Priming Goals as a New Source of Competitive Advantage (Routledge Studies in Leadership Research)
by Alexander D. Stajkovic Kayla SergentJobs that were once well-defined are now multifaceted. New realities have placed a premium on employee cognitive processing to fulfill complex occupational roles. But human conscious cognitive capacity is limited, making it nearly impossible for employees to keep up without being overloaded. Stajković and Sergent refute the common assumption that technological automation is the only way forward. Instead, they directly tackle the issue of employee cognitive overload by proposing cognitive automation as an alternative solution. The authors present a sampling of cutting-edge research showing that conscious guidance is not required for all goal pursuits; goal-directed behavior at work can be automated via priming of subconscious goals. Building on research in social psychology and organizational behavior, Stajković and Sergent introduce four models to explain how subconscious goals are primed in organizations: •Auto-motive model: Repeated practice with a goal makes cognitive automation possible. •Goal contagion: Observing and inferring goals of others creates cognitive automation. •Means-goal priming: Confidence in your goal pursuit enhances cognitive automation. •A history of reinforcement: Money, feedback, and social recognition used to reinforce goal achievement become associated with the goal, resulting in cognitive automation. The authors canvas a broad range of knowledge concerning the problem of employee cognitive overload in contemporary organizations and rely on multidisciplinary research to propose cognitive automation as a solution that can address it directly. This book is a deep well of valuable information for those interested in solving real work problems with application of science of organizational behavior (SOB).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Christians with Depression: A Practical Tool-Based Primer (Spirituality and Mental Health)
by Michelle PearceDoes religion belong in psychotherapy? For anyone in the helping profession, whether as mental health professional or religious leader, this question is bound to arise. Many mental health professionals feel uncomfortable discussing religion. In contrast, many religious leaders feel uncomfortable referring their congregants to professionals who do not know their faith or intent to engage with it. And yet Michelle Pearce, PhD, assistant professor and clinical psychologist at the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland, argues that if religion is essential to a client, religion will be a part of psychotherapy, whether it is discussed or not. Clients cannot check their values at the door more than the professionals who treat them. <p><p>To Pearce, the question isn’t really, “does religion belong?” but rather, “how can mental health professionals help their religious clients engage with and use their faith as a healing resource in psychotherapy?” Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Christian Clients with Depression is the answer to that question, as the book’s purpose is to educate mental health professionals and pastoral counselors about religion’s role in therapy, as well as equip them to discuss religious issues and use evidence-based, religiously-integrated tools with Christian clients experiencing depression.
