  [How to Be Successful] delves into the intimate landscape of personal achievement with unflinching honesty and profound insight. Like a whispered conversation in the early hours, this transformative guide navigates the complex terrain between who we are and who we might become. Through lyrical prose that captures the subtle nuances of human experience, the book unravels success not as a destination but as a continuous dialogue with ourselves. It explores the quiet victories that accumulate like loose change, the moments of doubt that shape our resilience, and the invisible foundations upon which visible success is built. With an approach that eschews conventional self-help platitudes, this meditation on achievement speaks to those who understand that success isn't found in the gleaming surfaces of social media feeds, but in the authentic, sometimes messy, always meaningful journey of becoming.

  To be like everyone else and to be unique: these conflicting forces to both assimilate and to stand out have operated within us since childhood. They are impulses that exist in each of us, reflective of our human nature. Everyone is born with a unique fingerprint. We possess external and internal qualities that make each of us unique and special. At the same time, humans are social animals, with a biological and evolutionary tendency to belong to groups. We live with perpetual tension, striving to establish our uniqueness at the same time as trying to fit in. This important and timely book explores how balance can be achieved and the importance of such balance at every level of humanity – from the personal to the organizational to the global. Individuals, communities, organizations and societies who manage this tension in an effective and conscious way will  benefit and experience both the pleasures of belonging and the personal expression of each of the individuals. Moreover, the balance between belonging and personal expression is the key to sustainability and prosperity – a phenomenon that this book describes as Unique Belonging.

  Nel 1930 l'economista John Maynard Keynes pubblicò il testo Possibilità economiche per i nostri nipoti nel quale ipotizzò un futuro economico e lavorativo nei successivi cento anni fatto di ricchezza, alta produttività e tempo libero. A pochi anni dal 2030, come se la passano i pronipoti di Keynes?
  Il XXI secolo ha portato con sé trasformazioni radicali nel mondo del lavoro: un'integrazione sempre più accentuata con la tecnologia, un lavoro sempre più frammentario e una radicalizzazione degli stipendi. La società turbo-capitalista si è appropriata del tempo libero delle persone, delle loro emozioni, dei loro corpi. Come si può dunque parlare di lavoro in un'epoca in cui tutto, e niente, è lavoro?
  Questo libro esplora l'impatto del lavoro nella società contemporanea e presenta alcune delle soluzioni, sia istituzionali che nate dal basso, che sfidano i paradigmi di sfruttamento e sorveglianza, tipici del digitale, in cui ci troviamo immersi.

  The way we traditionally think about feedback, accountability, and performance management prevents us from being the kind of human beings we want to be. The emphasis on pressure, discipline, and controlling others is not comfortable. Traditional advice for giving feedback comes up short; we prepare and practice scripts that fail us. Too often we walk away feeling miserable without accomplishing what we had hoped.  
  The Disconnect Principle changes all of that. It will show you how to eliminate those difficult conversations entirely. Once you understand the root cause of the discomfort, it is simple to avoid it altogether.

  Populism and Democracy - How...

  Populism, as a political phenomenon, has seen a significant resurgence in recent decades, challenging both traditional political structures and the established norms of democratic governance. It is a term often used to describe political movements or leaders who claim to represent "the people" against a corrupt or out-of-touch elite. The central tenet of populism lies in its rhetoric, which typically divides society into two antagonistic groups: the virtuous, ordinary people and the corrupt, self-serving elite. These populist movements tap into widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo, offering simple, direct solutions to complex political and economic issues. The appeal of populism is particularly potent in times of economic instability, social division, or perceived political disillusionment, providing a voice to those who feel marginalized or neglected by traditional political parties. 
  Democracy, on the other hand, is founded on principles of inclusivity, pluralism, and the protection of rights. The democratic system is built upon checks and balances, where power is distributed across various institutions to prevent any one entity from gaining too much control. The rule of law and respect for civil liberties are central to the functioning of democratic societies. While democracy inherently embraces political diversity and disagreement, it relies on established norms and values, such as the protection of minority rights, the independence of the judiciary, and the free exchange of ideas.

  A practical guide for managers and co-workers who want to foster the emotional recovery process of traumatized employees returning to the workplace.  For trauma survivors, returning to work can be a difficult process. It can also be difficult for managers and co-workers to know how to help. This guide offers authoritative, actionable advice on how to treat colleagues after an experience such as a violent accident, rape, armed robbery, the diagnosis of a terminal illness, or a loved one’s suicide or sudden death.   All too often, the trauma is left unacknowledged because no one is sure of the “right” thing to do or say. This can lead to feelings of alienation or resentment and make the recovery process difficult. Dr. Barbara Barski-Carrow offers a straightforward primer full of practical examples on how to support survivors and help them truly return to work.
