Check Out How To Have A Good Day: Harness The Power Of Behavioral Science To Transform Your Working Life Authored By Caroline Webb Offered In Book
a psychodynamicallyoriented therapist, it is always horrifying to me that people would use the field of psychology to teach sociopaths how to get ahead at work, as opposed to working towards world peace and/or universal intrapsychic wellness.
However, these are the skills that are most necessary to thrive under latemodel capitalism, I would imagine behavioral scientists would consider this "reframing", Os Desafiantes Dias Maus
Há boas notícias na área da ciência comportamental, pois já não se ocupa exclusivamente do que é negativo.
Está focada não apenas na cura das depressões e ansiedades depois delas acontecerem, mas também na sua prevenção.
Quer isto dizer que se propõe mostrarnos uma panóplia de ferramentas com as quais podemos contar para superar as mais diversas contrariedades.
E a boa nova é que não é necessário ir ao supermercado comprálas, pois já constam no DNA temolas cá todas.
Só nos resta saber usálas!, . .
Pois é esse o grande objectivo deste precioso livro treinarnos, colocarnos à altura dos problemas que temos mesmo que resolver, dos obstáculos que temos mesmo, mesmo que superar, para que as nossas vidas não estagnem e as malfadadas depressões se instalem!
Fazernos sentir que os dias maus não são mais que desafios, batalhas que uma vez vencidas redundam numa valiosa contribuição para o nosso crescimento pessoal.
Decadência ou Evolução o trabalho é nosso, a escolha é nossa!!! I read this book because a friend of mine recommended it.
He said "it made sense, " Since my friend is someone I highly respect, I bought the book without giving it a second thought.
But now I read the book, I don't think I have learned anything new, Change your attitude, the way you approach things, prioritize, I mean, haven't we heard about them before Where is the new idea
Maybe I missed some important message.
I just didn't feel enlightened, I didn't really see anything that I haven't already known or experienced, Maybe another friend of mine was right: "You want to have a good day Quit the job, " Generous tips on how to face daily challenges and keep a positive outlook, How we spend our days is how we spend our life, Annie Dillard
One of the best books I've read this year, The book is about how you can use behavioral science to change your day from bad to better to best.
I love it very much, It is filled with a very practical tactic backing up with a lot of researches and also interesting examples.
If you want to have a good day, and I hope you do, read this book, Bought this book on an impulse, Best impulse decision I made as this book uncovers so many actually sciencebacked FACTS to improve your life and productivity.
Really enjoyed the appendices at the end as well,
Will definitely be coming back to this book over and over again for refreshing, There are two kinds of management/ self help books out there the ones written by people who know what they are talking about and those written by chancers.
It is sometimes hard to tell them apart because the chancers sound as if they have something worthwhile to say.
What the chancers are really doing is to take a few principles, adding in more or less relevant examples, and packaging the whole thing up with overblown promises about how this book will change your life.
"How to have a good day" is most definitely one of the good ones, A very good one indeed, Caroline Webb clearly knows her subject well, Instead of forcefeeding us some management buzzwords, her advice is based on science and research, The list of source documents and further reading at the back of the book is staggering, This is most certainly not something that has been knocked together in a hurry,
What is most refreshing about the book is the emphasis it places on the softer elements of success such as emotional intelligence, mindfulness and empathy.
The suggested approach is caring, sympathetic, resilient,
The writing style is easy to read and pleasant without being inyourface chatty as some of this type of book can be.
There are a few niggles, The title of the book is way too long, I am pretty sure that most of us will instinctively shorten it to "Have a good day" which is what it probably should have been in the first place.
There is quite a bit of repetition with the examples, We revisit the same small number of examples several times over, Caroline gets away with it just because what she is saying is fresh and interesting, But at times I felt like saying "oh, not this person again!" when she reused one of her favourite case studies.
In any other book, this would suggest that she didn't have much experience and was spinning out a thin amount of material into a whole book.
There are a handful of diagrams but they don't work in the Kindle version, Reading the book on my ipad, the diagrams overlap the text, It's not a major problem because I can still more or less read both the text and the diagrams, but it's sloppy and ought to have been caught in the editing stage.
But who am I kidding Those problems are minor niggles in what is otherwise an exceedingly good book.
I'm giving it the full five, Very well recommended. This would be a great starting point for those unfamiliar with the research already out there on applied psychology.
That being said, it's
meant to be a popbook for the layperson, and doesn't offer anything new,
I would highly recommend it to some people and think it would be astar book to them, but since I'm already familiar with the material, I can't fairly give it a rating.
How to have a good day explores the latest studies in behavioural science to help us understand how to have better relationships, be happier and enjoy daytoday interactions with others.
The author lays her research out in an easy to understand way, backed with anecdotes and stories to highlight what the reader might learn.
I learned a number of interesting tips and techniques while reading this book, and I can see it being a book I return to again in the future to reread.
Recommended! Really good, helpful, practical stuff, I liked it, marked a lot of pages to get back to, and will bring it to the office to refresh myself with periodically.
This book should be called “how to be an effective adult, ” Although nominally its about how to have a good day at work, it covers a whole lot more.
The book revolves around three themes:
, The brains activity is split across Systemdeliberate and controlled and Systemautomatic and instinctive,
. The discoverdefend axis: Our brains function best when its in discovery mode instead of defending against perceived threats.
. Mind and body are deeply entwined, Simple physical interventions can immediately boost our intellectual performance, emotional resilience, and personal confidence,
Webb then applies these themes to seven main areas: Priorities, Productivity, Relationships, Thinking, Influence, Resilience, and Energy.
For each of these, she gives practical, scientificallysound principles that Im sure have been tested up and down the halls of her famously meticulous consulting firm McKinsey amp Co.
For example, to boost your energy, do these six things: think about three good things engage in random kindness find something interesting give yourself a quick win make time for human connection find the personal purpose and smile.
To beat back procrastination, use implementation intentions, e, g. “When I first sit at my desk, I will write formin, ” Intrinsic motivation works better than extrinsic motivation, so find your inner why, Boost your brainpower by scheduling blocks of deep thinking time, engineering your environment, prioritizing your sleep HUGE! and doing a short burst of aerobic exercise.
This one book is more like a summary ofbooks on productivity and selfmanagement, boiled down to their most useful essence and presented in a highly structured, userfriendly package.
Each chapter has a onepage summary, and there are three appendices at the end for mastering meetings, email, and reinvigorating your routine.
This is a superb guide and reference for getting life right,/
