The Comparing Game: Escape the Comparing Paradigm, Embrace Your Own Uniqueness, Be Your True Self , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
Do you always compare yourself to others? Most bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists, because bronze medalists compare themselves with all the people who competed but won no medal at all, while the silver medalists compare themselves with the gold medal winners and torture themselves with the belief that they could have won the gold medal. Our perception of the society around us is developed through our observation and understanding. We see, meet, and communicate with hundreds of people through all phases of our lives. We learn about other people, and through these experiences we learn about ourselves. This is the theory of comparison. People come to know themselves by evaluating the successes, beliefs, and attitudes of the people around them. Regardless of positive or negative, upward or downward, social and emotional comparison dictates the decisions and beliefs of everyone in today's modern society. In this guide we will deconstruct the habits and perceptions that lead to the consistent comparisons we make in our daily lives. We will discuss reasons behind this phenomenon and elaborate on it by providing information about the long-term effects of such habits. Here is a preview of what we will discuss: Real-life scenarios of how people are comparing themselves to others Why comparisons are always unfair How to get out of this comparing mentality Why comparisons often result in resentment How to compare with yourself for improvement Comparing with others may seem like a minor glitch in our thought process. But through this guide, we will expand on the impact of this seemingly minor habit. How social comparison affects our lives and how we attempt to combat these practices are among the issues tackled in this book. We will also explore and understand the social structures that construct people's opinions and why happiness and succ ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Heather Curtis.

Muse (eBook, ePUB)
The fascinating true stories of thirty incredible muses-and their role in some of art history's most well-known masterpieces. We instantly recognize many of their faces from the world's most iconic artworks-but just who was Picasso's 'Weeping Woman'? Or the burglar in Francis Bacon's oeuvre? Why was Grace Jones covered in graffiti? Far from posing silently, muses have brought emotional support, intellectual energy, career-changing creativity, and practical help to artists. However, the perception of the muse is that of a passive, powerless model (usually young, attractive, and female) at the mercy of an influential and older male artist. Could this impression be incorrect and unfair? Is this trope a romanticized myth? Have people embraced, even sought, the status of muse? Most importantly, where would artists be without them? In Muse, Ruth Millington's goal is to re-assess and re-claim that word in a celebratory narrative that takes ownership and demonstrates how outdated the common perception of that word is. Muse also explores the idea of 'muse' in a different way and includes performance artists and celebrities, iconic figures we perhaps haven't considered before as muses, such as Tilda Swinton and Grace Jones. By delving into the real-life relationships that models have held with the artists who immortalized them, it will expose the influential and active part they have played in contributing to the artwork they inspired, and explore the various ways people have subverted stereotypical 'muse' roles. From job supervisors to homeless men in Harlem, Muse will reveal the unexpected, overlooked, and forgotten models of art history. Through the stories of thirty remarkable lives, from performing muses to muses who have been turned into messages, this book will deconstruct reductive stereotypes of the muse, and reframe it as a momentous and empowered agent of art history.- Shop: buecher

Beyond Behaviours (eBook, ePUB)
A PARADIGM SHIFT FOR CAREGIVERS THAT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY YOU APPROACH, TREAT OR PARENT A CHILD WITH CHALLENGING OR EXPLOSIVE BEHAVIOURS. When you are confronted with a child who is troubled, disruptive, oppositional, defiant or angry - whether you are a parent or a teacher - it can be difficult to know the best way to support them. Traditional methods of 'shaping' a child's behaviour can often be at best ineffective, at worst distressing, for child and adult alike.Drawing on 30 years of experience, internationally known paediatric psychologist Dr Mona Delahooke describes these troubled behaviours as the 'tip of the iceberg', important signals that point to deeper, individual differences in the child that we need to understand and address before we can resolve behavioural challenges. Using the very latest neuroscientific research Beyond Behaviours makes the case that many children who can't seem to behave simply don't have the developmental capacity to do so - yet. This book uses neuroscientific findings to help you deconstruct behaviour challenges, and to discover their cause and triggers for your child. It will show you how to apply this knowledge across a variety of behaviour spectrums, from children diagnosed with autism or other forms of neurodiversity, to those who might have been exposed to toxic stress or trauma during their early years. There are practical strategies to implement at every stage, backed up by impactful worksheets and charts, with a strong emphasis not on 'managing' behaviour, but instead on helping children and families build positive experiences to counteract the stress and pressure felt by everybody when you're working, or living, with a child who has behavioural challenges. Accessible, practical, warmly supportive and steeped in research and clinical expertise, Beyond Behaviours offers a break-through book which guides us - parents and caregivers alike - to the realisation that the most important tool in our toolkit is always our connection with the child standing in front of us.- Shop: buecher

This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren't enough hours to do it all. Or else, if we don't make excuses, we make sacrifices. To get ahead at work we spend less time with our spouses. To carve out more family time, we put off getting in shape. To train for a marathon, we cut back on sleep. There has to be a better way - and Laura Vanderkam has found one. After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us. Instead of letting the daily grind crowd out the important stuff, they start by making sure there's time for the important stuff. They focus on what they do best and what only they can do. When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer. It's not always easy, but the payoff is enormous. Vanderkam shows that it really is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a week, take piano lessons, and write a novel without giving up quality time for work, family, and other things that really matter. The key is to start with a blank slate and to fill up your 168 hours only with things that deserve your time. Of course, you probably won't read to your children at 2:00 am, or skip a Wednesday morning meeting to go hiking, but you can cut back on how much you watch TV, do laundry, or spend time on other less fulfilling activities. Vanderkam shares creative ways to rearrange your schedule to make room for the things that matter most. 9781596595934 N N ©2010 Laura Vanderkam;(P)2010 Gildan Media Corp http://www.audible.de/pd/B004V2NCT4?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true http://www.audible.de/pd/B004V2NCT4?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags (Unabridged) 17.95 AVAILABLE Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags (Unabridged) Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags (Unabridged) Carla Collins Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags is original, edgy, uplifting and laugh-out-loud funny.....

In order to set the economy on a sounder path, we need to understand the sources of instability that caused the failure of the financial system, rethink established ideas, and challenge the intellectual and moral authority of the institutions that control the world's capital. Written by respected portfolio manager and longtime investment professional Michael Lewitt, The Death of Capital looks at how, in recent years, the U.S. economy has increasingly been dominated by short-term speculation rather than productive investment, debt rather than equity, and short-term thinking rather than long-term planning. These disastrous trends, described here as financialization," ignore the fact that capital is a highly unstable social process rather than a fixed, historical object or category. This timely audiobook: Explores the most important aspects of capital and capitalism through the prism of four of the world's great economic thinkers Addresses "financialization" and its consequences, such as a weaker U.S. dollar, the decline of American industries, and the loss of American economic and political hegemony Examines how the legal system contributed to economic deterioration by privileging short-term profitability above other important societal interests such as labor, the environment, and social welfare Calls for politically controversial reforms such Asks for stricter regulation of hedge funds and private equity firms, banning naked credit default swaps and off-balance sheet financing vehicles, imposition of a Tax on Speculation, and principles-based reforms to improve systemic stability And much more ungekürzt.
