poor relief heath henderson

It is widely believed that distributing cash to people in poverty is the best way to help them while avoiding paternalism. Heath Henderson pushes back, arguing that a markets-know-best model is itself paternalistic and displaces better interventions. Instead, people in poverty need the democratic power to coordinate solutions for themselves.

An engaging portrait of Hampstead Heath â “ a place rich not just in natural wonders but in history and monuments, emotions and memories, people and places. I enjoyed every inch of the way, from Parliament Hill to the Pergola... A late-life little masterpiece Ferdinand Mount A love letter, both to the Heath and to his late wife Islington Tribune An affectionate book which blends personal anecdote, history and interviews Ham HighThe eight hundred acres of Hampstead Heath lie just four miles from central London; and yet unlike the manicured inner-city parks, it feels like the countryside: it has hills and lakes, wild spots and tame spots.Hunter Davies has lived within a stone s throw of Hampstead Heath for more than sixty years and has walked on it nearly every day of his London life. For him, it is not just a place of recreation and relaxation but also a treasure-house of memories and emotions. In The Heath, he visits all parts of this, the largest area of common land in Britain s capital city: from Kenwood House to the Vale of Health, from Parliament Hill to Boudicca s Mound, and from the Ladies Bathing Pond to the fabulous pergola. As he walks, Davies talks to the diverse array of individuals who frequent the Heath: regulars; visitors; dog walkers; stall holders at the weekly farmer s market; famous faces having their morning stroll; twenty-first-century hippies spreading peace, love and happiness.

***SHORTLISTED FOR FT MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020*** FT Best books of 2020: Business In a world on fire, status quo is not a great option. Henderson rightfully argues for the refoundation of capitalism and offers thought-provoking ideas on what needs to be done to address some of the world s greatest challenges. Hubert Joly, former chairman and CEO, BestBuy ________________­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ What if business could help solve the greatest problems of our time? Free market capitalism is one of humanity s greatest inventions, and the greatest source of prosperity the world has ever seen. But it s also on the verge of destroying the planet and destabilizing society in its single-minded pursuit of maximizing shareholder value. Rebecca Henderson, McArthur University Professor at Harvard University, argues for a new framework; one that can simultaneously make a positive societal impact by confronting the realities of the environment and the need to address social and economic inequality, while also delivering sustained financial performance to ensure economic growth that brings prosperity and wellbeing to society as a whole. Drawing on the lessons of companies from around the world who are acting on this responsibility - who are not only surviving but are thriving, becoming leaders in their industries and beginning to drive the wheels of change - Professor Henderson proves that this is not only a moral imperative for business but also the only way to remain competitive in our changing world. ________________ You need to read Rebecca Henderson s Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire. This is a book for the realist with a heart. Arthur C. Brooks, president emeritus, American Enterprise Institute; senior fellow, Harvard Business School; and author of Love Your Enemies Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire is a breath of fresh air. Written in lively prose, easily accessible to lay readers, and chock-full of interesting case studies, Henderson comprehensively surveys what we need to do to secure a workable future.

New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath asks what happens when we take our thinking upstream and try to prevent problems before they happen.When we shift our energies upstream, we stop dealing with the symptoms of problems and we start fixing problems.If we can stop crimes from being committed, we do not need to work to solve crimes.If we can prevent chronic diseases from developing, we do not need to treat these diseases. If we can provide affordable housing, we do not need to provide shelter for the homeless.Looking to business, politics, and society, Dan Heath shows us that we have the capacity to solve some of our thorniest personal, organisational and societal issues. We just need to start to think about the system rather than the symptoms. Drawing on insights from his extensive research, as well as hundreds of new interviews with unconventional problem solvers, Dan delivers practical solutions for preventing problems rather than simply reacting to them. Packed with vivid stories and practical examples, Upstream is the rare book that can both revitalize your business and make our world a better place. Daniel H.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath comes a revolutionary guide to fixing what’s not working – in work and in our daily lives. Reset will help you get unstuck, shake off old habits, and overcome the inertia of the way things always work. Heath shares a framework, based on research in psychology and hundreds of interviews, to help you vault toward what really matters.Crucially, you can make positive changes without the need for additional time or money (which, for most of us, is not forthcoming). The secret is to find leverage points: places where a little bit of effort can yield a disproportionate return. In Reset, you’ll discover: Why the middle of a change effort is often the hardest How leaders can uncover and stop wasteful activities Why your team’s motivation is often squandered (and how to avoid that mistake) The paradox that inefficiency can sometimes accelerate progress The book traces not only how people transform their work but how they decide what to work toward.Their aspirations couldn’t be more different. You’ll visit fast-food managers who’ve crafted a freakishly effective drive-thru line. You’ll meet a couples therapist who swears by a powerful, perception-shaping trick.And you’ll encounter a veterinarian who hatched a plan that ultimately saved the lives of five million cats. Their aspirations differ, but their resolve is the same: to escape the stifling gravity of entrenched systems. To unlock forward momentum – making steady progress toward our highest goals – without the need for more resources.The same people, the same assets, but dramatically better results. Yesterday, we were stuck. Today, we reset.

The New York Times-bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick offer a fascinating tour through the workings of our minds to reveal how to make smarter decisions. Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities. We re overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn t. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, our brains are flawed instruments. So, how can we do better?In Decisive, Chip and Dan Heath draw on cutting-edge psychological research to introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. They reveal how we can stop the cycle of agonizing over our decisions, how can we make group decisions without destructive politics, and how to ensure that we don t overlook precious opportunities to change our course. Along the way, they demonstrate how relatively easy it is to avoid the pitfalls and find the best answers.Written in a compulsively readable style, Decisive takes us on a tour from a rock star s ingenious decision-making trick, to a CEO s disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions, in order to offer fresh strategies and practical tools that will enable you to make better choices. Because the right decision, at the right moment, can make all the difference.

April of 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the personal finance classic Rich Dad Poor Dad that still ranks as the #1 Personal Finance book of all time. And although 25 years have passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published, readers will find that very little in the book itself has changed — and for good reason. While so much in our world is changing a high speed, the lessons about money and the principles of Rich Dad Poor Dad haven’t changed. Today, as money continues to play a key role in our daily lives, the messages in Robert Kiyosaki’s international bestseller are more timely and more important than ever.Milestones While there is a milestone to commemorate — and a new section in the book on Why Milestones Are Important — preserving the integrity of the original content is testimony to the fact that this book has truly stood the test of time. The sidebars throughout the book (that were updated for the 20-year anniversary edition) have been updated again, but the core principles that parents and grandparents — those who embraced Robert’s story and messages 25 years ago — are sharing them with new generations who have found that its timeless wisdom and no-nonsense lessons can be applied to anyone’s life and their vision for a future that includes taking control of their finances.People of all cultures and countries celebrate milestones. We use them to measure time, mark progress, reflect on the lessons we’ve learned, and celebrate accomplishments… and they give meaning to our life’s journey. They are a way that we integrate past, present, and future… looking back at where we started, where we are today… and the promise of all that the future can hold.In the quarter century that has passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published — 25 years since April 8, 1997 — so many things in our world have changed. But the one thing that has not changed is the pressing need for and the power of financial education. Money is still a mainstay of our lives, like it or not, and technology has brought both speed and innovations to the world of money. In an ever-changing world, we can all still get smarter when it comes to money… and learn as much as we can to secure our future.Still the One… #1 Today Rich Dad Poor Dad consistently ranks among bestsellers around the world in the categories of Personal Finance, Parenting, and Investing, has been translated into 38 languages, and has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert s story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were challenged and criticized 25 ago, are more meaningful, relevant, and important today than ever.Rich Dad Poor Dad...• Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich• Challenges the belief that your house is an asset• Shows parents why they can t rely on the school system to teach their kids about money• Defines once and for all an asset and a liability• Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success

WINNER OF THE 2024 EISNER AWARD FOR BEST PUBLICATION FOR TEENS“Easily my favorite book of the year.” —Tillie Walden, Eisner Award–winning creator of SpinningA twisty, spellbinding adventure about a girl and her dog who want to save the world, Danger and Other Unknown Risks is the highly anticipated YA graphic novel debut from Eisner Award-winning and New York Times bestselling creators Ryan North and Erica Henderson.I m gonna tell you a story, and I m gonna ask that you let me finish before you say anything.Here’s the deal—on midnight of January 1st, 2000, the world ended.

‘A candid, warm, sad, surprisingly funny, raw, brave, bittersweet book.’ – MATT HAIG ‘Chase the Rainbow is a game-changing book. Poorna Bell’s moving account of the pressures on modern men could be a life-saver. This is a brave and bold work that will inspire us all to talk openly and honestly about depression once and for all. Everyone should read this book.’ – ARIANNA HUFFINGTON ‘I recently devoured this book in a couple of days. It’s so beautifully written, honest and beyond thought-provoking. I urge you to delve into its courageously written pages to learn about Poorna Bell’s story.’ – FEARNE COTTON ‘A story of love and loss and a vital contribution to the mental health debate. A great read.’ – ALASTAIR CAMPBELLAn honest yet uplifting account of a woman #39;s life affected (but not defined) by the suicide of her husband and the deadly paradox of modern-day masculinity. Punk rocker, bird nerd and book lover Rob Bell had a full, happy life. He had a loving wife, a big-bottomed dog named Daisy and a career as a respected science journalist. But beneath the carefully cultivated air of machoism and the need to help other people, he struggled with mental health and a drug addiction that began as a means to self-medicate his illness. In 2015, he ended his life in New Zealand on a winter’s night. But what happened? How did a middle-class Catholic boy from the suburbs, who had an ocean of people who loved him, and a brain the size of a planet, end up dying alone by his own hand? How did it get to this point? In the search to find out about the man she loved, and how he arrived at that desperate, dark moment, Poorna Bell, Executive Editor of The Huffington Post UK, went on a journey spanning New Zealand, India and England to discover more about him. A month after his death, she shared her personal tragedy in an open letter to Rob on the site, which went on to be read by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. This is Poorna’s story, not only of how she met the man of her dreams and fell in love, but also Rob’s story and how he suffered with depression since childhood and had secretly been battling addiction as a means to cope with the illness. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45 and a staggering 1 in 4 of us will experience mental illness disease at some point in our lives, but the stigma surrounding mental health means that millions still suffer in silence.Chase the Rainbow is an affecting, poetic, and deeply personal journey which teaches to seek hope and happiness, even in the most tragic of circumstances. Shattering the stigma surrounding depression and suicide, Poorna Bell challenges us talk about what we most fear, and to better understand the personal struggles of those closest to us.

The Nazis have enslaved Jewish men to exhume and incinerate the bodies of more than 70,000 Jews previously shot to death in the forest. Trapped in almost unimaginable horror, a group develop an audacious escape plan. Despite being guarded day and night, they dig a tunnel with their bare hands. Twelve men escape - an act of great bravery and desperation as well as extraordinary imagination.Based on first-person accounts of the escapees and on every scrap of evidence that has been documented, repressed or amplified since, No Road Leading Back resurrects the lives of the twelve and their acts of witness, as well as providing an urgent analysis of why their story has rarely been told - and never accurately. Author Chris Heath explores the cultural use and misuse of Holocaust testimony and the need for us to face uncomfortable historical truths with honesty and accuracy.This shattering and inspiring true story of prisoners who dug their way out of torture and imprisonment by the Nazis is both a stunning escape narrative and an object lesson in how we remember and continually forget the particulars of the Holocaust.

Written by John Buxton and Don Heath, two experienced rail professionals, Lines of Power delivers a comprehensive record of the stuttering progress of electrification and modernisation of Britain s railway network, exposing the furtive manoeuvring by competing factions within the railway industry during the 1950s. The book is highly critical of the excessive scepticism of the Department of Transport (DoT later DfT) and the frequent disproportionate, and often imprudent, interventions by politicians that have collectively thwarted the opportunity to progress a more comprehensive and cost effective rolling programme of electrification.

With an Introduction by Rosemary O Day.London Labour and the London Poor is a masterpiece of personal inquiry and social observation. It is the classic account of life below the margins in the greatest Metropolis in the world and a compelling portrait of the habits, tastes, amusements, appearance, speech, humour, earnings and opinions of the labouring poor at the time of the Great Exhibition.In scope, depth and detail it remains unrivalled. Mayhew takes us into the abyss, into a world without fixed employment where skills are declining and insecurity mounting, a world of criminality, pauperism and vice, of unorthodox personal relations and fluid families, a world from which regularity is absent and prosperity has departed. Making sense of this environment required curiosity, imagination and a novelist s eye for detail, and Henry Mayhew possessed all three.No previous writer had succeeded in presenting the poor through their own stories and in their own words, and in this undertaking Mayhew rivals his contemporary Dickens. To pass from one to the other , writes one authority, is to cross sides of the same street .

V obľúbenom románe Raymonda Chandlera si pán Bowling kupuje noviny len preto, aby zistil, či sa v nich nepíše o vraždách, ktoré práve spáchal. No uprostred nemeckým letectvom neustále bombardovaného Londýna akoby záhadné úmrtia nikoho nezaujímali a stopy zanechané na mieste činu ostávajú bez povšimnutia. Pán William Bowling je vzdelaný, šarmantný a znudený sériový vrah, ktorý túži po pozornosti. Je pripravený pykať za svoje činy, ale kvôli celosvetovému konfliktu neustále uniká spravodlivosti. Koľko ďalších novín si bude musieť kúpiť, kým ho polícia konečne dolapí? Donald Landels Henderson (1905 - 1947) bol anglický herec, prozaik a autor divadelných aj rozhlasových hier. Počas druhej svetovej vojny pracoval pre BBC a v roku 1943 napísal temný psychologický thriller Pán Bowling si kupuje noviny. Vďaka neodolateľnému spôsobu, akým so zvláštne humorným, no zároveň desivým spôsobom vykreslil portrét sériového vraha, si vo vojnovej Británii vyslúžil mimoriadnu pozornosť čitateľov aj kritikov. Krátko pred svojou predčasnou smrťou spracoval román do podoby divadelnej hry a na základe tejto autorskej adaptácie vznikli o niekoľko rokov dva úspešné televízne filmy
