Switch : How to Change Things When Change Is Hard

Random House Audio (16 Feb 2010) | English | ISBN-10: 0739376969 | Audio MP3 | 424 MB
Why is it so hard to make lasting changes in our companies, in our communities, and in our own lives?

The primary obstacle is a conflict thats built into our brains, say Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the critically acclaimed best seller Made to Stick. Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems, the rational mind and the emotional mind, that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. The rational mind wants to change something at work; the emotional mind loves the comfort of the existing routine. This tension can doom a change effort but if it is overcome, change can come quickly.

In Switch, the Heaths show how everyday people - employees and managers, parents and nurses - have united both minds and, as a result, achieved dramatic results:
* The lowly medical interns who managed to defeat an entrenched, decades-old medical practice that was endangering patients.
* The home-organizing guru who developed a simple technique for overcoming the dread of housekeeping.
* The manager who transformed a lackadaisical customer-support team into service zealots by removing a standard tool of customer service
* In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or changing your waistline.

How An Economy Grows And Why It Crashes

Audible, Inc (October 28, 2010) | ASIN: B0049MEXPS | English | Audio MP3@96kbps | 156 MB
How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes uses illustration, humor, and accessible storytelling to explain complex topics of economic growth and monetary systems. In it, economic expert and bestselling author of Crash Proof, Peter Schiff teams up with his brother Andrew to apply their signature "take no prisoners" logic to expose the glaring fallacies that have become so ingrained in our country's economic conversation.

Inspired by How an Economy Grows and Why It Doesn't - a previously published book by the Schiffs' father Irwin, a widely published economist and activist - How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes incorporates the spirit of the original while tackling the latest economic issues.With wit and humor, the Schiffs explain the roots of economic growth, the uses of capital, the destructive nature of consumer credit, the source of inflation, the importance of trade, savings, and risk, and many other topical principles of economics.

The tales told here may appear simple of the surface, but they will leave you with a powerful understanding of How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes.

Never Be Fooled, Lied To, or Taken Advantage of Again



English | Your Coach In A Box (October 7, 2008) | Audio MP3 | ISBN-10:1596591536 | 174 MB
This audio book is NOT a collection of recycled ideas about body language! It contains specific, proven, and practical psychological techniques that can be applied instantly to any person, in just about any situation.

Dr. Lieberman has demonstrated the ease and accuracy of these techniques on hundreds of television and radio programs. In a special report for FOX News, host Jeff Rosin declared "It's simply amazing! I was with him and he was never wrong...not even once. I even learned how to do it and that's saying something." In fact, Dr. Lieberman has gone "head-to-head" on live television with skilled polygraph examiners and scored just as well-every time.

You Can Read Anyone teaches step-by-step exactly how to tell what someone is thinking and feeling in real-life situations. For example, you will learn precisely how to determine whether another poker player will stay in or fold, whether a salesperson is trustworthy or whether or not a first date is going your way or the other way. And when the stakes are high-negotiations, interrogations, questions of abuse, theft, or fraud-learn to detect who is out for you, and who is out to get you (or a loved one) to save yourself time, money, energy, and heartache.

About the Author
David J. Lieberman Ph.D. is an award-winning author and internationally recognized leader in the fields of human behavior and interpersonal relationships. Techniques based on his six books, which have been translated into eighteen languages and include two New York Times bestsellers, are used by the FBI, the Dept. of the Navy, Fortune 500 companies, and by governments, corporations and mental health professionals in more than 25 countries. Dr. Lieberman's work has been featured in publications around the world and he has appeared as a guest expert on more than 200 programs such as: The Today Show, Fox News, PBS, The Montel Williams Show and The View. Dr. Lieberman, who has a Ph.D. in psychology, lectures and holds workshops across the country on a variety of topics. He lives in New Jersey

Hold Me Tight : Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love

Brilliance Audio  | English | Audio  MP3/192Kbps | 276 MB
Are you looking to enrich a healthy relationship, revitalize a tired one, or rescue one gone awry? We all want a lifetime of love, support, and companionship. But sometimes we need a little help.

Enter Dr. Sue Johnson, developer of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and “the best couple therapist in the world,” according to bestselling relationship expert Dr. John Gottman. In Hold Me Tight, Dr. Johnson shares her groundbreaking and remarkably successful program for creating stronger, more secure relationships.

The message of Hold Me Tight is simple: Forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, making grand romantic gestures, or experimenting with new sexual positions. Instead, get to the emotional underpinnings of your relationship by recognizing that you are emotionally attached to and dependent on your partner in much the same way that a child is on a parent for nurturing, soothing, and protection. Dr. Johnson teaches that the way to enhance or save a relationship is to be open, attuned, and responsive to each other and to reestablish emotional connection. With this in mind, she focuses on key moments in a relationship - from Recognizing the Demon Dialogues to Forgiving Injuries - and uses them as touch points for seven healing conversations. These conversations give you insight into the defining moments in your relationship and guide you in reshaping these moments to create a secure and lasting bond.

About the Author
Dr. Sue Johnson is a clinical psychologist, the developer of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, and a recognized leader in the new science of relationships. The author of four books and numerous articles, she has trained thousands of therapists in North America and around the world. She lives in Ottawa, Canada.

The End of Time The Maya Mystery of 2012

200 pages | University Press of Colorado (October 1, 2009) | English | ISBN-10: 0870819615 | PDF

December 21, 2012. The Internet, bookshelves, and movie theaters are full of prophecies, theories, and predictions that this date marks the end of the world, or at least the end of the world as we know it. Whether the end will result from the magnentic realignment of the north and south poles, bringing floods, earthquakes, death, and destruction; or from the return of alien caretakers to enlighten or enslave us; or from a global awakening, a sudden evolution of Homo sapiens into non-corporeal beings theories of great, impending changes abound.

In The End of Time, award-winning astronomer and Maya researcher Anthony Aveni explores these theories, explains their origins, and measures them objectively against evidence unearthed by Maya archaeologists, iconographers, and epigraphers. He probes the latest information astronomers and earth scientists have gathered on the likelihood of Armageddon and the oft-proposed link between the Maya Long Count cycle and the precession of the equinoxes. He then expands on these prophecies to include the broader context of how other cultures, ancient and modern, thought about the end of things and speculates on why cataclysmic events in human history have such a strong appeal within American pop culture.

Why Do I Need a Teacher When I've got Google?

The Essential Guide to the Big Issues for Every 21st Century Teacher



240 pages | Routledge (August 19, 2010) | English | ISBN-10: 0415468310 | PDF | 12,1 MB
‘The future of the world is in your hands’

I know that might seem a bit steep considering you’ve got that Year Ten coursework to sort out and the lesson observation on that nervous looking NQT, but that’s the way it is I’m afraid. You chose to be a teacher, you mould young minds on a daily basis and those minds have got to grow up and save the world.’ – Extract from Chapter One

Why do I need a teacher when I’ve got Google? is just one of the challenging, controversial and thought-provoking questions Ian Gilbert poses in his long-awaited follow up to the classic Essential Motivation in the Classroom.

Questioning the unquestionable, this book will make you re-consider everything you thought you knew about teaching and learning, such as:

* Are you simply preparing the next generation of unemployed accountants?
* What do you do for the ‘sweetcorn kids’ who come out of the education system in pretty much the same state as when they went in?
* What’s the real point of school?
* Exams – So whose bright idea was that?
* Why ‘EQ’ is fast becoming the new ‘IQ’.
* What will your school policy be on brain-enhancing technologies?
* Which is the odd one out between a hamster and a caravan?

With his customary combination of hard-hitting truths, practical classroom ideas and irreverent sense of humour, Ian Gilbert takes the reader on a breathless rollercoaster ride through burning issues of the twenty-first century, considering everything from the threats facing the world and the challenge of the BRIC economies to the link between eugenics and the 11+.

As wide-ranging and exhaustively-researched as it is entertaining and accessible, this book is designed to challenge teachers and inform them – as well as encourage them – as they strive to design a twenty-first century learning experience that really does bring the best out of all young people. After all, the future of the world may just depend on it.
