Leadership and the New Science
Author: Margaret J. Wheatley
Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers
ISBN: 1609941306
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
The new edition of the bestselling, acclaimed, and influential guide to applying the new science to organizations and management. In this new edition, Margaret Wheatley describes how the new science radically alters our understanding of the world and how it can teach us to live and work well together in these chaotic times. We live in a time of chaos, rich in potential for new possibilities. A new world is being born. We need new ideas, new ways of seeing, and new relationships to help us now. New science—the new discoveries in biology, chaos theory, and quantum physics that are changing our understanding of how the world works—offers this guidance. It describes a world where chaos is natural, where order exists "for free." It displays the intricate webs of cooperation that connect us. It assures us that life seeks order, but uses messes to get there. This book will teach you how to move with greater certainty and easier grace into the new forms of organizations and communities that are taking shape. You'll learn that: • Relationships are what matters—even at the subatomic level • Life is a vast web of interconnections where cooperation and participation are required • Chaos and change are the only route to transformation In this expanded edition, Wheatley provides examples of how non-linear networks and self-organizing systems are flourishing in the modern world. In the midst of turbulence, Wheatley shows, we create work and lives rich in meaning.

The Second Commandment
Author: Joey R. Peyton
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666788201
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
In an increasingly broken world filled with hate and violence, God’s plan from the beginning was to save and restore the world to the glory for which he had created it. This simple plan has not changed with the evolution of sin, time, or man’s rejection of his creator. Rather, God’s simple twofold plan of redemption included both a commandment to love the creator with all one’s heart, mind, soul, and strength, and a commandment to love one’s neighbor as one’s self. Neither commandment stands in isolation, for one cannot fully love others without a consuming love for God, and neither can one completely love God without a love for the neighbor created by God. The answer to hate is love; the answer to war is love; the answer to violence is love; and the answer to all of societal disfunction is love. The answer is not a commandment to like God and others, because one only likes others because of likeness. Rather, love is a choice. A choice to love what you don’t like. A choice to love what you don’t understand. A choice to love until the God you love sets everything right in eternity.

From the Abyss of Loneliness to the Bliss of Solitude
Author: Michael B Buchholz
Publisher: Phoenix Publishing House
ISBN: 1800131100
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
Social isolation and loneliness are increasingly being recognised as a priority public health problem and policy issue worldwide, with the effect on mortality comparable to risk-factors such as smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. From the Abyss of Loneliness to the Bliss of Solitude sheds much-needed light on a multifaceted global phenomenon of loneliness, and investigates it, together with its counterpart solitude, from an exciting breadth of perspectives: detailed studies of psychoanalytic approaches to loneliness, developmental psychology, philosophy, culture, arts, music, literature, and neuroscience. The subjects covered also range widely, including the history and origins of loneliness, its effects on children, the creative process, health, lone wolf terrorism, and shame. This is a timely and important contribution to a growing problem - greatly exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic - that has serious effects on both life quality and expectancy. The book features contributions from a diverse host of leading international experts: Dominic Angeloch, Patrizia Arfelli, Charles Ashbach, Manfred E. Beutel, Elmar Brahler, Jagna Brudzinska, Michael B. Buchholz, Lesley Caldwell, Karin Dannecker, Aleksandar Dimitrejevic, Mareike Ernst, Jay Frankel, Gail A. Hornstein, Colum Kenny, Eva M. Klein, Helga de la Motte-Haber, Gamze Ozcurumez Bilgili, Inge Seiffge-Krenke, and Peter Shabad. The contributors address the developmental and communicative causes of loneliness, its neurophysiological correlates and artistic representations, and how loneliness differs to solitude, which some consider necessary for creativity. They also provide insights into how we can help those suffering from loneliness, as classical psychoanalytic papers are revisited, contemporary therapeutic perspectives presented, and detailed case presentations offered. From the Abyss of Loneliness to the Bliss of Solitude is essential reading for mental health professionals and those searching for a better understanding of what it means to be lonely and how the lonely can better voice their loneliness and step out of it.

Book Description
CHATTAHOOCHEE The Civil War, in all its gore and glory, comes alive in the eyes and hearts of Cathy Wingate, a young and beautiful Mississippi widow, and her little girl, Tamara. Born in 1861, in the first year of the war after her father had already gone off and died for the Confederacy, Tamara has a clairvoyant dream about a young Union officer in 1864, during the last year of the war. Cathy didn't believe in clairvoyance but she understood, after all they had gone through, her little girl's precocious mind had conceived the perfect father, a father that she instinctively and passionately craved, and a father that might shelter them from the clutches and the aftermath of the interminable war. Based on a true Civil War Story that reached fruition along the banks of the Chattahoochee River, Tamara's dream comes true, to the astonishment of her mother Cathy. The Union Soldier that Tamara dreamed of before she had ever seen him or had any reason to know existed turned out to be Lt. Travis Scott Cash of the 39th Indiana Volunteers. Of all your Civil War memories, the gripping saga of Cathy Wingate, Tamara Wingate and Lt. Travis Scott Cash might well linger the longest in your mind and...in your dreams.
