8 Keys to Healing Managing and...

Morgan Johnson, Babette Rothschild

Everyone is vulnerable to burnout and anyone can succumb to its effects. Empty suggestions, like "just relax" or work sponsored resilience workshops often lead to feeling judged or wasting precious time. Through eight key concepts, therapist Morgan Johnson offers a new way to combat burnout by feeling whole and reconnecting with the world and relationships around you. 
 
 
 
Each chapter focuses on a different concept and explains the science behind it. Activities, therapy techniques, journaling prompts, and personal anecdotes are shared to help listeners implement the concept in their recovery journey. Although much of the book expands on solutions that help listeners work smarter not harder, Johnson acknowledges that many elements are out of our control—particularly societal, financial, and political systems that depend on exploitation to thrive. Toxic positivity, compassion fatigue, glimmers and triggers, and other key themes are also discussed. 
 
 
 
This book is designed to support anyone experiencing burnout, including the overworked employee, overloaded parents and caregivers, those suffering from chronic illnesses, and those just starting to feel the initial effects of burnout. Ultimately, the book empowers individuals to improve their mental wellness by leveraging their current situation while moving towards a society rid of burnout.

Brazil - Culture Smart! - The...

Sandra Branco

Don't just see the sights―get to know the people.

For many people, Brazil conjures up images of football, Carnaval, and fine coffee, but it's much more than beaches and bossa nova. If we had to choose one word to describe the country, it would probably be diversity. The variety of lifestyles, ethnic groups, landscapes, and climates Brazil encompasses is quite simply enormous. This guide provides you with a comprehensive introduction to everything you need to know.

Jeitinho is how Brazilians deal creatively with life's everyday complications. Literally translated as a "little way," in practice it means that where there is a will there is also usually a way, regardless of the rules and regulations that may be in place. The jeitinho is so ingrained in daily life that you can see examples everywhere; managing to get a seat when all the places are booked up, traveling with more luggage than is allowed, or successfully ordering something that isn't even on the menu.

Culture Smart! Brazil is your guide to understanding the Brazilian people, their values, and the complexities of their national identity. Familiarize yourself with their traditions, culture, and way of life and your experience in this beautiful and life-affirming country will be greatly enriched.

Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

The Airborne Mafia - The...

Robert F. Williams

The Airborne Mafia explores how a small group of World War II airborne officers took control of the US Army after World War II. This powerful cadre cemented a unique airborne culture that had an unprecedented impact on the Cold War US Army and beyond. 
 
 
 
Robert F. Williams reveals the trials and tribulations this group of officers faced in order to bring about their vision. He spotlights the relationship between organizational culture, operational behavior, and institutional change in the United States Army during the Cold War, showing that as airborne officers ascended to the highest ranks of the army they transmitted their culture throughout their service in four major ways—civil-military relations, preparation for potential atomic combat, helicopter airmobility, and strategic response forces. 
 
 
 
Experiences of training and commanding airborne divisions in World War II led these men to hold sway in army doctrine by the mid-1950s. Dominating institutional thought and imparting their values, beliefs, and norms throughout the service they enjoyed a special privilege within the group culture. Williams demonstrates this impact, privilege, and power by focusing on the paratrooper triumvirate of Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and James Gavin and the lasting impression they made on how the US Army fought.
