  If you have, this book is perfect for you. The two disorders are elaborately described and summarized. Symptoms, causes, and solutions are provided.

  The education of lawyers does not end with the law degree. Continuing legal education is of central importance for legal professionals and the whole of legal industry. Both the education sector and the legal sector are undergoing profound change due to new business models and information technology. Providers of continuing legal education and universities in particular are therefore confronted with various questions and challenges.
  
  The Faculty of Law at the University of Zurich, as the leading provider in Switzerland, therefore held a conference on February 15 and 16, on the occasion of which these questions and challenges were discussed. The conference featured speakers from universities, law firms and associations as well as companies from Switzerland, Germany, the UK and the US. The individual presentations provided insight into the state of continuing legal education in the respective countries and addressed topics such as legal innovation, digitization, the role of law schools, and expectations from legal practice regarding continuing legal education.

  Prime Example - The True Story...

  A riveting account of the little known witch-hunt against the founder of one of the first major integrative medical centers in America.  Prime Example tells the story of the State of New York Department of Health versus Warren M. Levin, MD. In the late 1980s, the Commissioner of Health in New York targeted Warren Levin—a board-certified family doctor—in his effort to rid the state of alternative practitioners. Dr. Levin’s practice had never received a complaint from any patient and he had never been sued on the day that the state served a huge set of charges against him.   During the ensuing disciplinary proceedings, the state brought in a witness who had spent much of his time testifying against physicians before many government bodies including the US Congress, where he specifically mentioned Dr. Levin as a quack on several occasions. The Levin defense brought in an extraordinary compliment of witnesses on his behalf. Among them was Linus Pauling, PhD, with almost 50 honorary MDs and PhDs. He was at the time he testified—and remains—the only human being to have received two individual Nobel prizes. There were many others, many of them tops in their fields with hefty titles and accomplishments who testified for Levin and much of that testimony is referred to and/or excerpted in Prime Example.   This is the real-life story of a man being persecuted for daring to diverge from mainstream medical practices and of the abuse of power by a health commissioner driven by private and political motives.

  Millenneagram - The Enneagram...

  Buckle up, folks. It’s time to jump in, embrace your inner self, and release the things that are holding you back from wholeness. Enter the Millenneagram. 
   
  The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system that has a sneaky way of revealing who we are and why we do the things we do. Using nine types, it gets to the root of our fears and motivations, unveiling our inner-most selves.  
   
  Millenneagram reinvigorates the Enneagram by putting a modern spin on the classic nine types. Hannah Paasch, creator of the popular #millenneagream threads on Twitter, reveals how this system acts as a map toward our authentic selves. For Hannah, the Enneagram is not about changing who we are, but rather nurturing and loving our whole selves, even the pain in the ass qualities. “Only from this position of wholeness, rootedness in who we are, what we believe, and what kind of story we are writing, will we be able to act bravely for the sake of justice and humanity – to approach our f*cked-up world with the grounded courage it asks of us.” 
  With her trademark irreverent humor and empowering affirmations, Millenneagram reframes the classic Enneagram types with a fresh perspective and new names that cut right to the chase:  
  #1 The Machine  
  “I’m an Enneagram 1 and I Can Fix This!” 
  #2 The Parent  
  “I’m an Enneagram 2 and Can I Get You a Refill?” 
  #3 The Winner  
  “I’m an Enneagram 3 and All I Do Is Win.” 
  #4 The Tortured Artist  
  “I’m an Enneagram 4 and I’m Deeper Than You.” 
  #5 The Detective  
  “I’m an Enneagram 5 and I Read an Article About That.” 
  #6 The Oracle  
  “I’m an Enneagram 6 and I’m Loyal as Fuck.” 
  #7 The Party  
  “I’m an Enneagram 7 so This Might Be Vodka In My Mug.” 
  #8 The Dragon  
  “I’m an Enneagram 8 so Nice Try, Bitch.” 
  #9 The Wallflower  
  “I’m an Enneagram 9 so Let’s Just All Chill Out, Dude.” 
  A powerful tool for self-discovery (that doesn’t take itself too seriously), Millenneagram is an invitation for introspection and growth. Hannah’s revamped Enneagram goes beyond simply identifying with a type: it gives us permission to be our truest, enough-as-is, bad-ass selves. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
