La solitude n’est pas à la mode. Ni les introvertis. Le monde des affaires et de la culture appartient à ceux qui parlent haut. L’homme idéal est sociable, a le goût du risque, sait travailler en équipe. Le discret, le timide est presque suspect, son caractère n’est pas adapté à notre monde. L’essentiel est de n’être jamais seul. Susan Cain a mené une enquête passionnante sur l’histoire et les raisons de cette domination. Comment l’extraverti a-t-il progressivement pris le pouvoir ? Comment est-on passé d’une « culture de caractère » à une « culture de personnalité » ? Elle démontre avec des exemples, Chopin, Darwin, Gandhi, Gates, Wozniac..., et en puisant dans les dernières recherches des psychologues, des anthropologues, des sociologues..., comment la créativité des introvertis rayonne sur les entreprises, les arts et même la politique. Non, le brainstorming ne donne pas de meilleurs résultats que le travail solitaire. Non, les banques dirigées par des chefs charismatiques ne génèrent pas des résultats supérieurs à celles animées par les patrons plus discrets. Non, les grandes avancées politiques n’ont pas été réalisées par ...
Do you have to be an extrovert to succeed as an actor? This book offers ideas to create inclusive acting environments where the strengths of the introverted actor are as valued as those of their extroverted counterparts. As this book shows, many introverts are innately drawn to the field of acting, but can often feel inferior to their extroverted peers. From the classroom to professional auditions, from rehearsals to networking events, introverted actors tell their stories to help other actors better understand how to leverage their natural gifts, both onstage and off. In addition, The Introverted Actor helps to reimagine professional and pedagogical approaches for both actor educators and directors by offering actionable advice from seasoned psychology experts, professional actors, and award-winning educators.

Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, shares the ultimate choose-your-own-adventure book—a compilation of tools, tactics, and habits from 130+ of the world's top performers. From iconic entrepreneurs to elite athletes, from artists to billionaire investors, their short profiles can help you answer life's most challenging questions, achieve extraordinary results, and transform your life. From the author: In 2017, several of my close friends died in rapid succession. It was a very hard year, as it was for many people. It was also a stark reminder that time is our scarcest, non-renewable resource. With a renewed sense of urgency, I began asking myself many questions: Were my goals my own, or simply what I thought I should want? How much of life had I missed from underplanning or overplanning? How could I be kinder to myself? How could I better say “no” to the trivial many to better say “yes” to the critical few? How could I best reassess my priorities and my purpose in this world? To find answers, I reached out to the most impressive world-class performers in the world, ranging from wunderkinds in their 20s to icons in their 70s and...

¿Hemos sacrificado la conversación por la conexión? Estamos sumidos en la cultura digital y en un estado de constante conexión. Hemos desarrollado afición por las interacciones sociales virtuales dentro de los ámbitos del trabajo, la familia, la amistad, la educación y las relaciones sentimentales, sin advertir el peligro que ello comporta. Casi sin darnos cuenta, hemos abandonado la conversación cara a cara. Sherry Turkle, la principal especialista en la interacción entre las nuevas tecnologías y el ser humano, analiza en este libro las desastrosas consecuencias de la pérdida de la conversación que hemos experimentado en los últimos años, que hace peligrar lo que nos define como seres humanos.

En el nuevo mundo global, el ser humano convive con máquinas inteligentes que se ocupan, cada vez más, de trabajos que antes se consideraban humanos. Según Alfons Cornella, en el futuro inmediato no tiene sentido entrenar a los jóvenes para hacer tareas que pueden hacer las máquinas. Las personas somos diferentes de ellas en muchos sentidos y es en la potenciación de las características humanas donde reside nuestra esencia como especie. En este escenario cambiante y diverso, la educación tiene planteado un gran reto: descubrir el talento de cada persona y animarla a desarrollarlo al máximo desplegando sus propias capacidades. Este libro hace una reflexión sobre el futuro que nos espera y plantea cómo debería ser esta nueva educación. Una educación radicalmente humana en un mundo de máquinas.

The Entrepreneurial Process, one of Brown University's highest-rated courses, has empowered thousands of students to start their own ventures.

From Dr. David Posen, the bestselling author of Is Work Killing You? and The Little Book of Stress Relief, comes a book about listening to your body, understanding your mind, and making better choices in your life. For over thirty years, Dr. David Posen has counselled patients suffering from severe stress, anxiety, and depression. Over that time, he noticed a pattern. As our lives have become faster and increasingly fragmented, many of us have become disconnected from our true selves. Using a holistic approach that combines elements of physiology, psychology, and philosophy, Authenticity teaches readers to acknowledge and accept their true selves in order to make better and more informed life choices. Drawing on real-life examples from his experience in stress management, Dr. Posen has identified five common sources of conflict: personality traits, time and speed, sleep, values, and passions. For each of these areas, the solution is surprisingly simple. We must learn to live in a way that is authentic and true to our unique selves; we must live in harmony with who we truly are.

Architecture is at a tipping point. Voices of the under-represented have been increasing in volume and are agitated for change.

It will help those who are under-represented to find role models, context and tools & to be confident, supported and valued.

Life in the Market Ecosystem, the second book inthe Nature of Liberty trilogy, confronts evolutionary psychology head on. It describes the evolutionary psychologists’ theory of gene-culture co-evolution, which states that although customs and culture are not predetermined by anyone’s genetic makeup, one’s practice of a custom can influence the likelihood of that person having children and grandchildren. Therefore, according to the theory, customs count as evolutionary adaptations. Extending that theory further, as entire systems of political economy—capitalism, socialism, and hunter-gatherer subsistence—consist of multiple customs and institutions, it follows that an entire political-economic system can likewise be classified as an evolutionary adaptation. Considering that liberal-republican capitalism has, insofar as the system has been implemented, done more to reduce the mortality rate and secure human fertility than other models of societal structure, it stands to reason that liberal-republican capitalism is itself a beneficent evolutionary adaptation. Moreover, as essential tenets of Rand’s Objectivism—individualism, observation-based rationality, and peaceable...
