How to Talk with Anyone about Anything - Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D., Harville Hendrix

Relationships everywhere are in crisis due to our inability to talk about "difference" without polarizing. Since objection to difference is the core human problem, we need a skill that helps us connect beyond difference. That''s just what New York Times bestselling authors Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt offer in their new book: How To Talk With Anyone About Anything. They call it the Safe Conversations Dialogue process, which everyone can learn and teach, that moves all relationships from danger to safety, making connecting possible.For centuries, most of us humans have talked to others in monologues, believing that the world is the way we see it, that what we say about it is the "truth" and we have assumed that everyone sees it "our" way. If they do not, we experience tension and conflict on many levels. On the other hand, few of us have ever listened to others while they are talking and tried to see the world from their point of view while retaining our own perspective. Instead of listening to understand and collaborate about our differences, we tend to replace their perspective with our own. This results in polarization, not only in our personal lives ...

They call it the Safe Conversations Dialogue process, which everyone can learn and teach, that moves all relationships from danger to safety, making connecting possible.For centuries, most of us humans have talked to others in monologues, believing that the world is the way we see it, that what we say about it is the "truth" and we have assumed that everyone sees it "our" way. If they do not, we experience tension and conflict on many levels. On the other hand, few of us have ever listened to others while they are talking and tried to see the world from their point of view while retaining our own perspective.

The Race to Truth - Emma O'Reilly

When Emma O''Reilly joined the US Postal cycling team in 1996, she could have had no idea how she would become a central figure in the biggest doping scandal in sporting history. Yet when Lance Armstrong, starting his comeback from cancer, signed for US Postal, it was Emma, the only woman on the team, who became his personal soigneur. This is the definitive inside story of that time, and of the enormous repercussions that resonate to this day for Emma, Lance and the whole sport.Emma had the strength to break cycling''s omerta by speaking out against the culture of doping. She thought she would be one of many whistleblowers, doing what she believed was right. Isolated and shunned by the sport she loved, however, her reputation was systematically destroyed. And yet she had the courage to bounce back, and remarkably, to forgive those who made her existence a living hell. This is the ultimate memoir of truth and its many consequences.

Ešte si to premysli - Adam Grant - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Kedy ste naposledy prehodnotili názor? Ešte si to premysli je audiokniha o dôležitosti pochybovania a o tom, ako ľahšie spracovať nové fakty a nazerať na vlastné omyly pozitívnou optikou. Výskumy ukazujú, že tí najlepší vedia prehodnotiť svoje stanoviská a sú schopní meniť názory. Okrem toho sa dokázalo, že lídri, ktorí pripúšťajú, že niečo nevedia a neboja sa kritiky, sú na čele výkonnejších a tvorivejších tímov. Dnes už máme dôkazy, že umeniu prehodnocovať sa dá naučiť. Adam Grant vysvetľuje, ktoré vlastnosti na to potrebujeme. V prvej časti rozoberá, prečo je pre človeka ťažké opätovne sa zamyslieť nad problémom a ako si túto zručnosť osvojiť. Upozorňuje pritom, že samotné „odhodlanie" môže byť občas na škodu. V druhej časti nám ukazuje, ako môžeme k prehodnocovaniu viesť druhých. Tretia a posledná časť je venovaná dôvodom, prečo sa v školách, vo firmách či vládnych inštitúciách prehodnocovaniu nedarí. Schopnosť znova sa zamyslieť môže byť napokon tajnou zručnosťou, ktorá vám v čoraz rýchlejšie sa meniacom svete zabezpečí kľúčový náskok.

A laugh-out-loud, page-turning novel from TOP 100 bestselling author of Time Out Emma MurraySaoirse may just have to wing it... When her husband David announces he’s been offered a job in New York, Saoirse is thrilled. The glamour of the big city, the shopping, the culture, not to mention the free Manhattan apartment and business class air fare – what’s not to like?

Now, he is here to tell you about them: like the time (aged 5) he opened a gate and let a horse out of its field, just to see what would happen; or the time (aged 19) he jumped out of a plane for charity, even though he didn''t much care about the charity and was sure he''d end up dead; or the time (aged old enough to know better) he used a magazine as a funnel for fuel when the petrol cap on his band''s van broke.He has also learned a few things: about the power of group song; about the beauty of physically caring for another human being; about childlessness; about losing friends far too young.

How to Build a Human - Emma Byrne

''Byrne''s book is about scientific parenting, and it is very welcome indeed ... breezy and digestible ... this is such a good book'' Tom Whipple, The Times Kids aren''t all the same. You can''t follow instructions and expect success every time. So what if parents approached their children as questions to be answered and not problems to be solved? Scientist Emma Byrne takes evidence-based information on everything from physical and emotional development to what is really happening during sleep and separation anxiety, then shows how to apply it to the unique child in front of you. She challenges perceived wisdom by focusing on the variance as well as the mean - because your child is an individual, not an average. Like all good scientists, you''re going to have a few missteps along the way. You''ll reach dead ends; you''ll need to wrack your brain for new approaches. But by staying curious, creative and paying attention to what''s really happening with your family, Emma Byrne will help you figure it out. Just in time for everything to change once again.
