Sinopsis

Unbelievable Excuses explores the surprising world of justifications people offer at work, revealing insights into management, employee behavior, and the psychology behind avoiding accountability. The book dissects why people concoct elaborate stories to explain missed deadlines or poor performance, often driven by a fear of failure or a desire to shift blame. Understanding these patterns provides managers with valuable strategies for fostering a more accountable work environment.

 
The book progresses from examining the anatomy of excuses, including recurring themes and psychological drivers, to analyzing typical managerial responses and their effectiveness. It also delves into the broader societal context that contributes to the prevalence of excuse-making. You'll discover that the analysis of excuses connects to HR practices in performance management and disciplinary procedures.

 
By understanding the motivations behind these unbelievable excuses, Unbelievable Excuses argues that we can develop more effective strategies for promoting trust and improving overall workplace performance. It offers a fresh perspective by focusing on the extreme examples of human behavior in the workplace.

    James Hillman is the father of Archetypal Psychology. This rare program focuses on Education, Imagination and Myth with James Hillman. Here is a transcribed excerpt: 
     
    "And it's very important for the teacher to allow these things to occur, to feel them, to experience them even to record them so that she or he feels comfortable with the strangeness of the imaginative world with the gods and the demons and the animals and the jungles and the territories that are the source of one's imaginative life. 
    Unless the teachers comfortable with that he or she will censor and repress or suppress the imaginative life of the pupil. It seems to me that everyone can be re-tread. ▪ We can all get a retread and you unlearn. 
    I mean, one of the basic things of learning is unlearning what you've learned, not just negative capability, but negative learning learning against what you've learned. 
    You have to learn the stuff and then you see through it and you unlearn it."

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  What if reality is missing nothing - except the way we look at it? 
     
    Mirror Matrix: The Missing Dimensions of Reality presents a grounded but far-reaching way of understanding the universe as an information system shaped by reflection, interference and feedback. 
     
    Rather than treating light as a passive messenger, this book shows how reality itself is structured by how information reflects and recombines. Through the four fundamental dimensions of light - intensity, frequency, polarisation and phase - finite signals generate an effectively inexhaustible range of patterns. Infinity emerges not from the size of the universe, but from the richness of interaction. 
     
    Moving from physics to perception, from living systems to culture and meaning, Mirror Matrix reveals a consistent logic at work: patterns that align with their environment persist, while others fade. Observation becomes participation. Meaning becomes stabilised pattern. Responsibility becomes unavoidable in a world of accelerating reflection. 
     
    This book explores questions that sit at the boundary of science and philosophy: 
     
    Why does order exist instead of noise? 
     
    How can finite systems produce overwhelming complexity? 
     
    Why do some patterns - atoms organisms, ideas - persist while others disappear? 
     
    What does it mean to act inside a world shaped by feedback and amplification? 
     
    Written in an accessible, down-to-earth tone, Mirror Matrix does not propose a new belief system or speculative cosmology. It offers a missing lens - one that connects light, life, thought and culture through the same underlying process. 
     
    The mirrors are already in place. 
     
    The patterns are already forming. 
     
    What remains open is how deliberately we choose to participate in the dimensions we’ve been missing.

    The following is the audio track for the 1945 propaganda film released by the US Army Air Forces discussing the development of Boeing B-29 bomber, an American four-engined propeller-driven heavy bomber, designed by Boeing and flown primarily by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. The B-29 was designed for high-altitude strategic bombing, but also excelled in low-altitude night incendiary bombing and in dropping naval mines to blockade Japan. B-29s dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the only aircraft ever to drop nuclear weapons in combat.

    Fifty years after the Guildford bombings, the case remains profoundly relevant today.  This new  edition is completely updated and revised with startling new material.  The Guildford Four endured 15 years behind bars for a crime they did not commit. The only evidence against them was their confessions extracted through intimidation and violence. Three Surrey police officers were acquitted of wrongdoing in 1993, but as this new edition reveals, there is testimony, never published, that corroborates evidence of far wider police malpractice.  Time Bomb was central to the reopening of the case of the Guildford Four when it was published in 1988 – exposing this egregious miscarriage of justice, and telling the chilling parallel story of the men actually responsible for the bombings, the London Active Service Unit, whose 1974-75 IRA campaign terrorised Britain.  Profoundly relevant today, as Michael Mansfield identifies in his introduction, the case of the Guildford Four is essentially the prototype of the corruption and concealment scandals which have beset the UK, from the Stephen Lawrence case through to the Post Office scandal, and asks how we can galvanise reform.  'Every twist and turn needs to be lived by the reader… page after page of compelling and mesmerising fact.  As you proceed, the magnitude of these events strikes a sense of burning injustice.'

    During the last two decades, there has been much scholarly and popular interest in the financialization of the American economy—why the turn to finance has taken place, what constituted it, and what has come out of it. In Disembedded, Basak Kus draws from the theories of Karl Polanyi—one of the greatest and most influential political economists of the twentieth century—to answer these questions. Focused primarily on the state's regulatory role in a dominantly financialized economy, Kus examines how neoliberal principles influenced the evolution of American regulatory policies, shaping the financial sector's operations and practices. Her narrative traces the trajectory of these interactions, highlighting critical junctures, policy decisions, and market outcomes that culminated in the financial crisis. Offering historical insights into the financial crisis spanning 2007-2010 and its ensuing influence on American politics and democracy, Disembedded provides a broad-ranging and systemic explanation of the American political economy, especially the regulatory landscape that shaped the patterns of financialization.

    Dive into Northern Britain's Dark Ages in "a book which gives a satisfying and convincing account of this little-known part of Scotland's history" (Undiscovered Scotland). 
     
     
      
    Modern communications have driven motorways and pylons through the countryside, dwarfed us with TV and telephone masts, and drastically altered the way in which we move around, see, and understand Scotland. Recent politics and logistics have established borders and jurisdictions which now seem permanent and impervious. The Faded Map looks beyond these to remember a land that was once quiet and green. Alistair Moffat's "tireless research . . . and commanding knowledge" bring to vivid life the half-forgotten kings and kingdoms of two thousand years ago, from the time of the Romans into the early medieval period (Scottish Field). 
     
     
      
    In this "fascinating" account, Moffat describes the landscape these men and women moved through and writes of a Celtic society which spoke to itself in Old Welsh, where the Sons of Prophesy ruled, and the time when the English kings of Bernicia held sway over vast swathes of what is now Scotland (Alexander McCall Smith, author of Dream Angus). Heroes rode out of the mists to challenge them and then join with them, and the faint echo of the din of ancient battles can be heard as he takes the listener on a journey around a lost Scotland.
