An alphabetically organized guide to workplace psychology
Adrian Furnham draws upon psychological reflections to present a critical and challenging account of perceived wisdom and management fads. In this book he scrutinizes such subjects and themes as anxiety management, authenticity, the dark side of gift-giving, modern management styles, performance appraisal systems, and work life balance.
In this unusual book about the relationship between psychology and management, Adrian Furnham does not present a management system based on psychological principles, but rather a collection of observations arranged in loose alphabetical order, beginning with "the aging workforce" and ending with "workplace romantic relationships."
This new key text is aimed at informal educators involved in youth
work, community work, and adult education and health promotion.
The
contributors explore the principles and practice of informal education
and argue for an approach which is relevant to a number of professional
fields and which focuses on a way of working rather than upon a
specific target group.
Defining success is a difficult task. Most people equate it with wealth,
power, and happiness. However, true success is not a thing you acquire or
achieve. Rather, it is a journey you take your whole life long.
This book takes a comprehensive approach to preparing for, succeeding during, and following up an interview. The structure is to plan it like a marketing campaign and then sell yourself - not so much as a logical point-counterpoint list of qualifications but rather appealing to the emotional side of interviewing as well. I like the rather wholistic approach, particularly how the planning component can boost your confidence going into the interview.
4 pathways to success
Basing this presentation on his popular Manifest Your Destiny, Dyer gives us his latest thinking about the four pathways to success--discipline, wisdom, unconditional love and surrender. Seekers of advice and information will have to listen closely, pencils in hand, because the four pathways are embedded in a wealth of ideas and charming anecdotes. But Dyer's followers know that his recent work, in print and audio, is not organized for Western left-brained comprehension. This is timeless and transforming material, rather than a step-wise achievement guide. Dyer's captivating, ever-powerful speaking voice and a fine production make this effort as fulfilling as anything he's produced on tape. T.W.
