No AI, No AI translated by Eduard Wagner Other views Q4 2023-1 Every day there are events where one can have a different opinion. Therefore, I would like to present a more differentiated view in this book. I'll leave it up to you as a reader to decide how you feel about it.
Laurie Beth Jones, management expert and business consultant extraordinaire, noticed that of the personality/temperament profiles in the market today, none of them provided a tool that was simple, visual, intuitive, and powerful enough to create a shift in thinking as well as relating. So she developed The Path Elements Profile (PEP), which can be used in recruitment, placement, retention, team building, and customer relations as businesses transform many individuals into a harmonizing, humming force for good. Within the framework of the book will be scriptural examples as well as modern-day business stories. Based upon the elements of Earth, Water, Wind and Fire, the Path Elements Profile helps determine both individual and team behavioral tendencies that affect everything from career choice to daily “to do” lists. We choose to act on what we value, and each element type values very different things:Fire personality types love and thrive on challengeWater personality types thrive on harmony and calmWind personality types love chaos and changeEarth personality types love order and structure PART I of this book provides an overview of the elements themselves as individual personality types. Jones will explain each element's strengths and challenges and will have the readers identify their own as well as those of their team members. Then in PART II, readers will assess their teams. There are 28 one-day principles, that, if followed, will take readers on a simple yet radical journey to a transformed workplace. An assessment test for your team’s elemental strengths and weaknesses, accompanying graphics, and appendices are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.Show book
"A thoughtful, practical read about the future of the flexible office."-Adam Grant "Office shock" is an abrupt, unsettling change in where, when, how, and even why we work. In this visionary book, three prominent futurists argue that the office is both a place and a process-offices and officing-with a new range of choices, including what they call the emerging officeverse. To see the possibilities with fresh eyes, we must use future-back thinking to ask, What is the purpose of your officing? What are the outcomes-especially regarding climate-you want to achieve? With whom do you want to office? How will you augment your intelligence? Where and when will you office? How will you create an agile office? Traditional offices were often unfair, uncomfortable, uncreative, and unproductive. This book explores how to seize this great opportunity to transform office work.Show book
Persuasion is an integral part of human interaction, deeply embedded in how we communicate and influence others in various aspects of life. It involves the art of convincing someone to change their beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, often through reasoning, emotional appeal, or both. Whether it’s a political leader attempting to sway voters, a marketer aiming to sell a product, or an individual trying to resolve a conflict, persuasion is a tool that enables individuals to shape others’ thoughts and actions. Understanding persuasion is essential not only to comprehend how others influence us but also to understand how we can use it ethically to influence others in return. At its core, persuasion is about changing the way people think or act without forcing them into compliance. It is often misunderstood as a form of manipulation, but while both involve influencing others, manipulation typically involves deceit or coercion, whereas persuasion focuses on genuine reasoning and voluntary agreement. The ethical boundaries between persuasion and manipulation are significant, and understanding where persuasion becomes harmful is an important distinction in the study of this process. One of the most significant aspects of persuasion is its psychological foundation. Persuasion works through the understanding of human cognition, emotions, and behavior. People are naturally influenced by their emotions, biases, and the social context in which they find themselves. Cognitive biases such as the bandwagon effect, anchoring, and authority bias can make individuals more susceptible to persuasive messages. This means that the context, presentation, and emotional appeal can have a profound impact on how persuasive an argument or idea is.Show book

The legendary bestseller that encouraged millions of readers to look at the hidden side of everything Which is more dangerous: a gun or a swimming pool? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? What do real estate agents and the KKK have in common? These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing—and whose conclusions turn conventional wisdom on its head. Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics. Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives—how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they explore the hidden side of everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The myths of campaign finance. The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher. What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world, despite a great deal of complexity and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, and—if the right questions are asked—is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Freakonomics establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But Freakonomics can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world. This revised and expanded edition of the book contains a smattering of bonus material, including selected Freakonomics columns from The New York Times Magazine; a Q&A with Steven Levitt, Stephen Dubner, and Angela Duckworth; and the New York Times Magazine profile Dubner wrote about Levitt that started it all.Show book
