Within the framework of 10 chapters, this book: * promotes a shared recognition of the role that personality plays in leadership by reviewing a case study of representative leadership situation that both identifies familiar personal struggles and organizational changes; * offers a way of thinking about how personality in general and the Big 5 in particular fills in the gaps and connects the pieces when it comes to how people become effective leaders; * illustrates how--within the Big 5 framework--to use the 2nd language approach to leverage natural personality strengths and manage weaknesses in an effort to build greater leadership effectiveness; * makes available 2nd language tools including effective intervention strategies and goal setting techniques based on enabling philosophies to understand what makes this approach accessible and practical to use; and * reassures that most leadership failures are reversible and that through using the 2nd language approach, these inevitable and sometimes necessary setbacks afford clarity about how to use your style to the best advantage.

3-System Theory of the Cognitive Brain: A Post-Piagetian Approach to Cognitive Development (Essays in Developmental Psychology)
by Olivier Houdé3-System Theory of the Cognitive Brain: A Post-Piagetian Approach to Cognitive Development puts forward Olivier Houdé’s 3-System theory of the cognitive brain, based on numerous post-Piagetian psychological and brain imaging data acquired from children and adults. This ground-breaking theory simultaneously anchors itself in a deep understanding of the history of psychology and fuels current debates on thinking, reasoning and cognitive development. Spanning the long-term history of psychology, from Plato and Aristotle to more current experimental psychology, this pioneering work goes beyond the approaches of Kahneman (i.e. System 1 theory) and Piaget (i.e. System 2 theory) to put forward a theory in which the inhibitory-control system (i.e. System 3) takes precedence. Houdé argues that the brain contains a third control system located in the prefrontal cortex which is dedicated to inhibiting Kahneman’s intuitive heuristics system and activating Piaget’s logical algorithms system anywhere in the brain on a case-by-case basis, depending on the goal and context of the task. 3-System Theory of the Cognitive Brain simultaneously explains the early logical abilities discovered in babies, the dynamic, strategic and non-linear process of cognitive development in children, and the fast heuristics and biases observed in adults. Houdé considers the exciting implications of this theory on neuro-education using examples from the classroom. This book is essential reading for students and researchers in cognitive development and education, child psychology, reasoning and neurosciences.

33 Meditations on Death: Notes from the Wrong End of Medicine
by David JarrettAS FEATURED ON BBC RADIO 4 'Start the Week' : 'very moving - brilliant and profound'"Brilliant - a grimly humorous yet humane account of the realities of growing old in the modern age." - Henry Marsh"A remarkably likeable guide to a grisly subject ... daunting, yet ultimately life-affirming" - Independent What is a good death? How would you choose to live your last few months? How do we best care for the rising tide of very elderly? This unusual and important book is a series of reflections on death in all its forms: the science of it, the medicine, the tragedy and the comedy. Dr David Jarrett draws on family stories and case histories from his thirty years of treating the old, demented and frail to try to find his own understanding of the end. Profound, provocative, strangely funny and astonishingly compelling, it is an impassioned plea that we start talking frankly and openly about death. He writes about all the conversations that we, our parents, our children, the medical community, our government and society as a whole should be having. And it is a call to arms for us to make radical changes to our perspective on 'the seventh age of man'.-More praise for 33 Meditations on Death:"This book will stay with you." - Derren Brown"Bursting with empathy, common sense and humour." - Professor Dame Sue Black

365 Citações de Sabedoria: Citações Diárias de Sabedoria Para Se Tornar Mais Sábio e Mais Feliz
by Xabier K. FernaoVocê preferiria aprender 30 anos de lições com as vidas de outras pessoas, ou viver 30 anos para aprender estas lições? Pense nisto. O que estou essencialmente perguntando é... Por que não aprender com as falhas, sucessos e experiências de vida de outras pessoas? Foi Sócrates, um dos maiores filósofos gregos que disse... “A verdadeira sabedoria chega para cada um de nós quando percebemos o quão pouco entendemos sobre a vida, sobre nós mesmos e sobre o mundo ao nosso redor." Não é verdade que não precisamos ler um livro imenso com muitos jargões e termos técnicos para se tornar mais sábio, mais consciente e ter mais paz? É por isto que este livro de 365 Citações de Sabedoria é tão importante.

As notícias, a mídia televisiva, a mídia social, seus amigos, sua família, seus parentes e a lista interminável continua.... Os céticos podem dizer que a positividade é chique. Contudo podemos dizer que os céticos são também conhecidos como pessoas negativas. Pense nisso ... eu vou te dar um exemplo ...Digamos que você planeja se tornar um milionário um dia ou talvez até um bilionário. Você começa a procurar mentores para ensiná-lo e guiá-lo. Você acha que o milionário ou bilionário autodidata lhe diria que é impossível e que é uma ideia fantasiosa? Ou você acha que são aqueles que são pobres e miseráveis (geralmente ... nossos amigos e familiares) que tentam nos parar? Espero que você não fiqueofendido. Se estiver, pare de ler.

by Xabier K. Fernao¿No estás harto de toda la negatividad que te rodea en tu entorno? Las noticias, los medios de comunicación, las redes sociales, tus amigos, tu familia y la lista interminable continúa. Los escépticos podrían decir que la positividad es elegante. Los escépticos son conocidos como personas negativas. Piénsalo... Te daré un ejemplo... Digamos que esperas convertirte en millonario algún día o incluso en multimillonario. Comienzas a buscar mentores para que te enseñen y te guíen. ¿Crees que el millonario o multimillonario hecho a sí mismo te diría que es imposible y que tu idea es una pura fantasía? ¿O crees que son los que son pobres y miserables (generalmente... nuestros amigos y familiares) los que intentan detenernos? Espero que no te ofendas. Si es así, deja de leer. Este libro no es para los débiles. No es para los que se ofenden fácilmente. Es para los humildes y ambiciosos que quieren más, buscan más y trabajan por más. En 365 citas de pensamiento positivo, estarás expuesto a algunas de las citas más inspiradoras y poderosas que podrían cambiar el curso de tu vida. Tal vez una de las citas que leerás en los próximos 365 días desencadenará un evento importante en tu vida. Tal vez podría recordarte las dificultades que has tenido para llegar tan lejos. Tal vez te dé permiso para recordarte que eres un regalo y que el día de hoy es precioso y no importa lo que pase, recuerdas que la vida te sucede debido a ti y no a ti.
365 Citaten van Wijsheid: Dagelijkse citaten van wijsheid om wijzer en gelukkiger te worden
by Xabier K. FernaoSchokkende statistieken: Een Gemiddelde Amerikaan Leest 1 Boek per Jaar en 50% daarvan zijn Romantische Romans.... Kijk, ik weet niet wie je bent, maar ik weet zeker dat je nu deze pagina leest, omdat je iemand bent die meer wil. Je bent iemand die geen genoegen neemt met het gemiddelde. Zie je, ik begrijp de wens om te willen leren maar tegelijkertijd op te zien tegen het lezen van een lijvig en dik boek! Daarom hebben we dit boek gemaakt.... Meer over dit boek: Zou je liever een les leren dank zij de 30 jaar levenservaring van anderen of 30 jaar leven om diezelfde les te leren? Denk daar eens over na. Wat ik je eigenlijk vraag is… waarom niet leren van de mislukkingen, successen en levenservaringen van andere mensen? Het was Socrates, een van de grootste Griekse filosofen die zei dat… "Echte Wijsheid Komt tot Ieder van Ons Wanneer We Beseffen Hoe Weinig We Begrijpen van het Leven, Onszelf en de Wereld om ons Heen". Het is toch zo, dat we echt geen lijvig boek vol met jargon en techniciteiten moeten lezen om wijzer, bewuster en vredelievender te worden? Dat is waarom dit 365 Citaten van Wijsheid boek zo belangrijk is. Dat is het mooie van Citaten. Kort, Simpel en Krachtig. Ik hoop en vertrouw er op dat je deze echt korte introductie tot dit boek wel fijn vond. Lees de citaten, gebruik ze, doe er gretig beroep op en maak ze tot je vrienden.
