Sinossi

In the depths of the sea, mysteries await those who dare to venture beyond the horizon. "In the Footsteps of Giants" embarks on a captivating journey to uncover the enigmas of ancient seafaring civilizations and explore the uncharted territories that lie beneath the waves.

From the Phoenician traders who sailed the Mediterranean Sea to the Polynesian navigators who traversed the vast expanse of the Pacific, seafarers have played a pivotal role in shaping the course of human history. Their daring voyages expanded our understanding of the world, fostering cultural exchange, and laying the foundation for global exploration.

This book delves into the annals of maritime history, recounting tales of intrepid explorers who dared to venture into uncharted waters. From the legendary journeys of Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama to the groundbreaking expeditions of Jacques Cousteau and Robert Ballard, these pioneers have pushed the boundaries of human knowledge, revealing the wonders of the underwater world and expanding our understanding of the Earth's oceans.

Beneath the surface of the sea lies a realm of mystery and intrigue. Tales of lost civilizations, sunken treasures, and unexplained phenomena have captivated the imagination of generations. From the legendary city of Atlantis to the Bermuda Triangle, the sea holds secrets that have eluded our grasp, beckoning us to explore the depths of the unknown.

As we uncover the profound impact that seafaring has had on the development of human civilization, we gain a deeper appreciation for the power and majesty of the ocean. Maritime trade routes facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures, fostering economic growth and cultural diversity. The sea has also played a crucial role in warfare, shaping the course of empires and influencing the geopolitical landscape.

"In the Footsteps of Giants" is a journey of discovery, a voyage that takes us beyond the familiar shores of human knowledge to the uncharted waters of the unknown. Through captivating storytelling and meticulous research, this book invites readers to embark on an extraordinary adventure, exploring the mysteries of the sea and unraveling the secrets that lie beneath the waves.

    How can you protect your right to a balanced life in a profession that demands perfection? 
    Medical life is challenging. The culture is competitive, the environment intense, the machinery complex and unwieldy, and the expectations high. Under such constant stress, many doctors sacrifice their own wellbeing to try and provide the best possible care for their patients.  
    We've got it backwards. Only by first looking after yourself can you truly provide the best care for others. Non-clinical skills have untapped potential in providing both personal and - you guessed it - clinical benefits. Research has clearly shown that patient experience and patient health outcomes are better when doctors are compassionate and well themselves. 
    Thriving doctors have better rapport with others, make less errors and feel more satisfied and engaged in their work. Medicine has spent little energy helping doctors build their skills in communication, emotional regulation, mind management, leadership, and compassion. Coaching offers a way to immediately start bridging this known gap. 
    Coaching provides deep listening, powerful questions, and a view from outside the culture of medicine that notices different things.  
    You are a whole human, and it's time to treat yourself like it.

    Over the course of the last half dozen years, China's supreme leader Xi Jinping has made extraordinary changes which have profound implications not only for the Chinese people but nations throughout the world. Given how swiftly and fundamentally China's relations with the rest of the world are changing under Xi's rule, it is imperative that we know what Xi Jinping Thought is, how it evolved, and why it is so important. 
     
     
     
    In The Political Thought of Xi Jinping, Steve Tsang and Olivia Cheung provide an authoritative overview of what "Xi Jinping Thought" is and is not and what it means for both China and the world. Xi, now effectively leader for life, has worked to ensure that "Xi Jinping Thought" becomes cemented as the new state ideology. Clearly inspired by the doctrine of "Mao Zedong Thought," which shaped the parameters of acceptable thinking for a quarter century, Xi wants his doctrine to define what he calls the "China Dream of national rejuvenation" and serve the pathway to its fulfillment by 2050. Drawing from original research of Xi's speeches, writings, and policies, Tsang and Cheung conceptualize Xi's vision independently from interpretations provided by the Chinese Communist Party or other sources. They further examine and explain how Xi seeks to transform this vision into reality.

    First and foremost, interacting with difficult people is one of the best ways to hone important life skills such as communication, empathy, and problem-solving. When we are confronted with challenging individuals, we are compelled to engage in productive communication in order to find a solution. We need to make sure that we are actively listening to them so that we can understand their point of view, that we are asking questions to explain their worries, and that we are expressing ourselves in a clear and confident manner. When we have to deal with difficult people, it can provide us with an opportunity to practice and enhance our communication skills, which can be useful in many different aspects of our lives. 
    In addition, interacting with difficult people might help us develop empathy, which is the capacity to comprehend and identify with the emotions of another person. It is very simple for us to become preoccupied with our own feelings and disappointments when we are forced to interact with difficult people. However, taking the time to think about things from the perspective of another person might help us build empathy and compassion for that individual. Building greater relationships with other people enables us to develop empathy, which in turn can help us become better at problem solving and better negotiators. 
    In addition, engaging with difficult people can assist us in developing abilities necessary for problem-solving. When we are confronted with a challenging individual, we have the responsibility of figuring out how to resolve the conflict while still honoring our own boundaries and requirements.
