Historical LOLs: When the Past's...

Funny History Bites

In this book, we take you to meet history's most unforgettable comedians, namely humanity itself. We will explore how Christopher Columbus, dreaming of reaching India, accidentally set foot in America; how Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake" remark led to a misunderstanding; and how Napoleon, by losing his hat at Waterloo, lost both the battle and his prestige.
The book will not only help us understand the past but also show us how unchangeable human nature is, how funny it can be, and how laughter can build connections even in the most serious moments. For instance, think of Archimedes' "Eureka!" moment from his bath; today, this could have been a YouTube sensation. Or imagine Neil Armstrong forgetting his camera on the Moon; this would surely cause a storm on Twitter, perhaps even trending with the hashtag #MoonCamCrisis.
Moreover, in these pages, you'll witness the Vikings accidentally discovering America while searching for Iceland, the Wright brothers' flight trials filled with arguments about who would fly first,
Edison's comical experiments with the light bulb, and even the morale-boosting power of music during the sinking of the Titanic. Each story is revitalized with modern technology, culture, and humor, offering you a chance to learn about history while laughing out loud.
With "Historical LOLs," we will revisit history's funniest moments, embedding them into today's digital age, social media, and humor, recalling the past with a new, laughing perspective.
Because history is not just filled with lessons, wars, and revolutions, but also with laughter.
This book brings together the comedic anecdotes of the past with today's technological and cultural world, spotlighting history's most ludicrous aspects.
Are you ready?
Then let's embark on a time-traveling journey to laugh together at history's most comical moments!

Susan Campis, Lucy Leclerc, Kay...

Human-Centered Leadership in Healthcare is a new leadership model based on the theory of complex systems. 
 
 
 
It addresses the requirement for healthcare organizations to develop environments that produce market leading outcomes which demonstrate value for patients. Since healthcare is a human-centric industry, it requires care for the leaders, the staff, and the patients. The Human-Centered Leadership model embraces the leader's focus on self-care and mindfulness while simultaneously focusing outward on others. The leader, at the center, adopts the attributes of the Awakener, the Connector, and the Upholder which result in practices leading to sustained quality outcomes, patient, and staff satisfaction, and a healthy work environment. These practices and outcomes can be described as cultures of excellence, trust, and caring. The Human-Centered Leader in Healthcare understands that "It starts with you but it's not about you". Kay Kennedy, Lucy Leclerc, and Susan P. Campis's goal for Human-Centered Leadership in Healthcare is to develop the people who lead the people who care for the people.
