Nick Drake: The Life

A practical, clever, down-to-earth guide to making decisions big or small, fast—from writer, journalist, and nationally acclaimed decision coach Nell McShane Wulfhart. We are drowning in choices—from major life decisions like whether to move, marry, or change careers, to relentless daily dilemmas about what to wear, eat, say, or do. In a world that glorifies optimization and “smart” choices, we’ve wound up paralyzed, deferring, deliberating, and overthinking to the point of exhaustion.&nbsp; Decision-making has become a source of stress instead of empowerment. Nell McShane Wulfhart is here to change that. In Decide in an Hour, she tackles the epidemic of indecision head-on and offers readers a lifeline: the tools to make better choices quickly, without feeling guilty, spiraling, or second-guessing. In this book, Wulfhart teaches us how to: <ul><li>identify the decision we’re actually making (a shockingly common obstacle)</li><li>eliminate noise and make the call—fast</li><li>follow through with confidence, even when others disagree</li><li>make the most common major life choices (career, relationships, kids, where to live) through the use of a decision-making field guide</li></ul> Equal parts wise, warm, and no-nonsense, Decide in an Hour offers clarity and momentum for how to start making smart, confident decisions today.

The Handbook for Making Better Decisions Faster

Decide in an Hour

Denken wir – nichts! Und verändern so unser Leben. Denn erst wenn unser Gehirn sich nicht mehr konzentrieren muss, entfaltet es sein volles Potenzial. In den Momenten, in denen die Gedanken abschweifen dürfen, aktiviert sich das »Ruhezustandsnetzwerk« – ein großes neuronales System, das klares Denken, Kreativität und Leistungsfähigkeit fördert. So paradox es klingt: Wir denken am besten, wenn wir aufhören, aktiv nachzudenken.Neurowissenschaftler Joseph Jebelli erklärt die erstaunlichen Vorteile, die eintreten, wenn der Kopf abschalten darf: Durch Nichtstun denken wir kreativer, gesünder und – überraschenderweise – sogar produktiver. Aber nicht nur der Kopf wird klarer: Dank Pausen, Spaziergängen und Co. lösen wir Probleme besser, bauen Stress ab und steigern unsere allgemeine Gesundheit. In einer Welt voller Hektik, Überarbeitung, Burnout und Stress bietet dieses Buch einen unverzichtbaren Leitfaden für frisches Denken, ein ausgeglicheneres und erfüllteres Leben und langfristigen Erfolg – und die wohl beste wissenschaftliche Ausrede, sich zurückzulehnen und die Wolken zu beobachten.»Ein kraftvolles und leidenschaftliches Manifest&nbsp;für Ruhe.« Dr. Hannah Chritchlow

the brain at rest

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.

"Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squelching noises" (Johnny Rotten, Rolling Stone)
 
 
The theory is that sex sells. And sex sells music.
 
The connections between music and sexuality are long-standing, 'rock'n'roll' itself being a slang term for sex, and there are many ways in which artists have explored sex and love through the medium of sound. Some of the records discussed in this book are experiments in expressing sexual desire through musical forms, mixing musical and sexual sounds. Others use sex purely as a marketing device or as 'whimsical entertainment' (sexualised images on LP covers, for example). Other records examine the politics of sexuality and/or offer a subversive take on the relationship between popular music and eroticism.
 
As an accessible form of entertainment, the LP was part of the 'democratization' of sexuality and erotica, something that was previously only available to the upper classes collecting erotic and pornographic materials on their many travels around the globe. Recorded music extended the reach of sexual content from literature, with books such as An ABZ of Love by Inge and Sten Hegeler (1963) or Alex Comfort's The Joy of Sex (1972), into the audio-visual realm.
 
The 'stirrings of the soul', the animation of the spiritual and the emotional, is what 'heavy conscious creation' is about and the sexual aspect of this is significant and profound.
 
Canadian electroacoustic composer Robert Normandeau once claimed that 'music, unlike other contemporary art forms, has hardly dealt with eroticism as a genre'. This book tries to fill in the gaps that this statement implies.
 
And the "two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squelching noises" that Johnny Rotten spoke about are here, sometimes literally, in musical form.

Clozapine as the Gold Standard: A Story of Hope for Patients, Families and Clinicians is a fascinating look at the convoluted development and clinical journey of clozapine, and a compelling argument for greater accessibility for millions of patients worldwide likely to benefit from this highly effective antipsychotic and suicide prevention medication. It is about hope, perseverance and the continuing fight to bring this often life-changing drug to those who need it.The book is written by two key figures in the clozapine saga: the researcher who developed it for US release and a psychiatrist who early advocated for its use. Vivid case vignettes illustrate real-life struggles by patients and families against the terrible scourge of severe mental illness, and their often-frustrated efforts to get meaningful help. It explains the need for clozapine, the barriers to and hope for effective treatment-the good, sometimes the bad and occasionally the ugly-in terms everyone can understand. It bridges the gap between patients and families and the doctors who must make every effort to offer those patients the most effective treatment available.This book should help huge numbers of patients and every mental health professional and clinical trainee who doesn't know the whole story. It is for anyone who cares about the struggle of those living with schizophrenia or a similar disorder - loved ones, mental health advocates, clinicians, and patients.

Warum Homo bestialis und Homo culturalis sich die Hand reichen müssenGibt es eine universelle menschliche Natur? Wie frei und vernunftbasiert ist unser Handeln wirklich? Bestsellerautorin und Biologin Meike Stoverock widmet sich der hochaktuellen Frage nach den Grenzen des freien Willens. In 'Human Nature' erkundet sie die Möglichkeiten, die in einem tieferen Verständnis menschlichen Verhaltens liegen - und zeigt, wie wir die Erkenntnisse für notwendigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel nutzen können.Eigentlich leben wir doch in einem Zeitalter der Vernunft: Wir verfügen über mehr Wissen als je zuvor und unsere Zukunftsmodelle werden immer genauer. Und doch scheinen wir als Gesellschaft auf der Stelle zu treten - der Klimawandel schreitet weiter voran, die Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich wächst, der Populismus ist weltweit auf dem Vormarsch und zur Gendergerechtigkeit ist es auch noch ein weiter Weg. Gesellschaftlicher Fortschritt lässt sich nicht allein durch gute Argumente und ausgeklügelte Studien, also auf rationaler Ebene, forcieren. In "Human Nature" zeigt Meike Stoverock auf beeindruckend klare Weise, dass biologische Einflüsse im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs viel stärker in den Fokus rücken müssen. Denn es gilt: Freie Entscheidungen und vernünftiges Handeln gibt es nur im Rahmen physischer Grenzen und psychologischer Selbsterkenntnis. Meike Stoverock löst den vermeintlichen Widerspruch zwischen Gefühl und Verstand auf und eröffnet so völlig neue Zukunftsperspektiven.

Why do organizations keep causing harm? And how do we cure toxic cultures? "A timely, rigorous, and deeply unsettling book."—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization Not a week goes by with out yet another major organizational scandal: Open AI’s agents going rogue, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating, Boeing’s persistent safety issues, endemic police misconduct at the Oakland PD, and sexual abuse at yet another Roman Catholic Church. So why do do organizations keep causing these harms? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond leadership and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Facebook sought to grow from 1 billion to 5 billion users, leading it to enter Myanmar’s volatile ethnic context without having the knowledge or capacity to do proper content moderation, and thus contributing to genocide.</li><li>Don Parus, a BP engineer made an all-out effort to warn company leaders to invest in safety, just months before a major explosion killed fiteen and injured hundreds at its Texas City Refinery.</li><li>Keith Batt, a rookie at the Oakland Police Department, was made to witness, condone and participate in falsifying arrest records, planting evidence, and even in unsanctioned violence, all within two weeks on the job.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, engaging, and unsettling, Toxic breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

How Organizations Go Bad

Toxic

El periplo desnudo y descarnado de un marinero a la deriva. Y el relato que le costó el exilio a Gabriel García Márquez. 'Mi libro preferido, y el primero que escribí.' Gabriel García Márquez Con este libro, Gabriel García Márquez se descubrió a sí mismo como un narrador. Sin embargo, la intención primera era escribir un reportaje sobre un hombre, Luis Alejandro Velasco, que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa mecida por el mar Caribe. El futuro Nobel de Literatura y entonces joven reportero que era García Márquez escuchó el relato de los hechos de boca de su protagonista y los transformó, tal vez sin pretenderlo, en un prodigioso ejercicio literario, una narración escueta y vigorosa donde late el pulso de un gran escritor. La publicación por entregas del reportaje en El Espectador de Bogotá supuso un alboroto político considerable -se revelaba la existencia de contrabando ilegal en un buque de la Armada colombiana, lo que costó la vida de siete marineros y el naufragio, más afortunado, de Velasco- y el exilio para su autor. 'El 22 de febrero nos anunció que regresaríamos a Colombia. Teníamos ocho meses de estar en Mobile, Alabama, Estados Unidos, donde el A.R.C. Caldas fue sometido a reparaciones electrónicas y de sus armamentos. En los días de franquicia hacíamos lo que hacen todos los marineros en tierra: íbamos al cine con la novia y nos reuníamos después en Joe Palooka, una taberna del puerto, donde tomábamos whisky y armábamos una bronca de vez en cuando.' La crítica dijo... 'Su narración más perfecta.' El País

El 28 de febrero de 1955 el destructor Caldas, que viajaba de Estados Unidos a Colombia, sufrió un accidente. Con la finalidad de rescatar a los náufragos, las fuerzas norteamericanas del canal de Panamá peinaron la zona cercana al siniestro. Después de cuatro días de búsqueda no encontraron ningún sobreviviente y se desistió de la búsqueda. Una semana más tarde apareció Luis Alejandro Velasco, quien después de pasar en las aguas del Caribe diez días a la deriva, logró llegar a tierra. &nbsp; Con este libro, Gabriel García Márquez se descubrió a sí mismo como un narrador.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor is a work of non-fiction by Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez. The novel is about a shipwrecked sailor "Velasques" who struggles for ten days to reach the coast. &nbsp;In 1955, Garcia Marquez was working for El Espectador, a newspaper in Bogota, when in February of that year eight crew members of the Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were washed overboard and disappeared. Ten days later one of them turned up, barely alive, on a deserted beach in northern Colombia. This book, which originally appeared as a series of newspaper articles, is Garcia Marquez's account of that sailor's ordeal.
