Real Magic: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science, and a Guide to the Secret Power of the Universe
by Dean RadinThe chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) turns a critical eye toward such practices as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition and psychokinesis. Are such powers really possible? Science says yes.According to noted scientist and bestselling author of The Conscious Universe, Dean Radin, magic is a natural aspect of reality, and each of us can tap into this power with diligent practice.But wait, aren't things like ESP and telepathy just wishful thinking and flights of the imagination? Not according to the author, who worked on the US government's top secret psychic espionage program known as Stargate. Radin has spent the last forty years conducting controlled experiments that demonstrate that thoughts are things, that we can sense others' emotions and intentions from a distance, that intuition is more powerful than we thought, and that we can tap into the power of intention (think The Secret, only on a more realistic and scientific level). These dormant powers can help us to lead more interesting and fulfilling lives. Beginning with a brief history of magic over the centuries (what was called magic two thousand years ago is turning out to be scientific fact today), a review of the scientific evidence for magic, a series of simple but effective magical techniques (the key is mental focus, something elite athletes know a lot about), Radin then offers a vision of a scientifically-informed magic and explains why magic will play a key role in frontiers of science.
BPM - Driving Innovation in a Digital World (Management for Professionals)
by Jan Vom Brocke Theresa SchmiedelThis book shows how business process management (BPM), as a management discipline at the intersection of IT and Business, can help organizations to master digital innovations and transformations. At the same time, it discusses how BPM needs to be further developed to successfully act as a driver for innovation in a digital world. In recent decades, BPM has proven extremely successful in managing both continuous and radical improvements in many sectors and business areas. While the digital age brings tremendous new opportunities, it also brings the specific challenge of correctly positioning and scoping BPM in organizations. This book shows how to leverage BPM to drive business innovation in the digital age. It brings together the views of the world's leading experts on BPM and also presents a number of practical cases. It addresses mangers as well as academics who share an interest in digital innovation and business process management. The book covers topics such as BPM and big data, BPM and the Internet of Things, and BPM and social media. While these technological and methodological aspects are key to BPM, process experts are also aware that further nontechnical organizational capabilities are required for successful innovation. The ideas presented in this book have helped us a lot while implementing process innovations in our global Logistics Service Center. Joachim Gantner, Director IT Services, Swarovski AG Managing Processes - everyone talks about it, very few really know how to make it work in today's agile and competitive world. It is good to see so many leading experts taking on the challenge in this book. Cornelius Clauser, Chief Process Officer, SAP SE This book provides worthwhile readings on new developments in advanced process analytics and process modelling including practical applications - food for thought how to succeed in the digital age. Ralf Diekmann, Head of Business Excellence, Hilti AG This book is as an important step towards process innovation systems. I very much like to congratulate the editors and authors for presenting such an impressive scope of ideas for how to address the challenging, but very rewarding marriage of BPM and innovation. Professor Michael Rosemann, Queensland University of Technology

Content and Consciousness Revisited: With Replies by Daniel Dennett (Studies in Brain and Mind #7)
by Carlos Muñoz-Suárez Felipe De BrigardWhat are the grounds for the distinction between the mental and the physical? What is it the relation between ascribing mental states to an organism and understanding its behavior? Are animals and complex systems vehicles of inner evolutionary environments? Is there a difference between personal and sub-personal level processes in the brain? Answers to these and other questions were developed in Daniel Dennett's first book, Content and Consciousness (1969), where he sketched a unified theoretical framework for views that are now considered foundational in cognitive science and philosophy of mind. Content and Consciousness Revisited is devoted to reconsider the ideas and ideals introduced in Dennett's seminal book, by covering its fundamental concepts, hypotheses and approaches and taking into account the findings and progress which have taken place during more than four decades. This book includes original and critical contributions about the relations between science and philosophy, the personal/sub-personal level distinction, intelligence, learning, intentionality, rationality, propositional attitudes, among other issues of scientific and philosophical interest. Each chapter embraces an updated approach to several disciplines, like cognitive science, cognitive psychology, philosophy of mind and cognitive psychiatry.

Good Christian Sex: Why Chastity Isn't the Only Option-And Other Things the Bible Says About Sex
by Bromleigh MccleneghanMoving beyond the deep-seated cultural feelings of shame that have long fueled the conflict between Christianity and sex--and the belief that there is only one right and valid way to practice one's sexuality--this renowned University of Chicago pastor uses enlightening personal stories and examples from theology to show how sex is powerful and holy.For years, Christians have been told to adhere to one singular path when it comes to sex: abstinence and purity. Yet this limited focus ignores the reality that people's sexual and romantic lives differ widely, even among those who consider themselves devout believers. Church leaders have often refused to address the topic--or have preached in ways that are harmful to the emotional and spiritual growth of the faithful in the pews.Pastor McCleneghan is determined to reshape the issue--and fundamentally transcend this disconnect between sexuality and spirituality that has left many Christians feeling guilty and sinful. Written in her measured, non-judgmental voice, Good Christian Sex combines humorous personal anecdotes with theological research to transform how Christians think and talk about this basic human need, offering a new understanding that reconciles human love and religious faith.Breaking with outdated conventions, McCleneghan explains how the Bible and Christian tradition inform our beliefs about desire, pleasure, nudity, fidelity, premarital sex, and the variety of sexual practices, and encourages Christians to talk about their bodies, their sensuality, and their longings in a frank, positive, and realistic way. Warm, insightful, and honest, Good Christian Sex is a message of hope, that at last lifts the veil of shame felt by many religious people.
Confessions of the Pricing Man: How Price Affects Everything
by Hermann SimonThe world's foremost expert on pricing strategy shows how this mysterious process works and how to maximize value through pricing to company and customer. In all walks of life, we constantly make decisions about whether something is worth our money or our time, or try to convince others to part with their money or their time. Price is the place where value and money meet. From the global release of the latest electronic gadget to the bewildering gyrations of oil futures to markdowns at the bargain store, price is the most powerful and pervasive economic force in our day-to-day lives and one of the least understood. The recipe for successful pricing often sounds like an exotic cocktail, with equal parts psychology, economics, strategy, tools and incentives stirred up together, usually with just enough math to sour the taste. That leads managers to water down the drink with hunches and rules of thumb, or leave out the parts with which they don't feel comfortable. While this makes for a sweeter drink, it often lacks the punch to have an impact on the customer or on the business. It doesn't have to be that way, though, as Hermann Simon illustrates through dozens of stories collected over four decades in the trenches and behind the scenes. A world-renowned speaker on pricing and a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 executives, Simon's lifelong journey has taken him from rural farmers' markets, to a distinguished academic career, to a long second career as a n entrepreneur and management consultant to companies large and small throughout the world. Along the way, he has learned from Nobel Prize winners and leading management gurus, and helped countless managers and executives use pricing as a way to create new markets, grow their businesses and gain a sustained competitive advantage. He also learned some tough personal lessons about value, how people perceive it, and how people profit from it. In this engaging and practical narrative, Simon leaves nothing out of the pricing cocktail, but still makes it go down smoothly and leaves you wanting to learn more and do more--as a consumer or as a business person. You will never look at pricing the same way again.

Bodies, Boundaries and Vulnerabilities: Interrogating Social, Cultural and Political Aspects of Embodiment (Crossroads of Knowledge)
by Lisa Folkmarson KällThis volume explores the interrelations between bodily boundaries and vulnerabilities. It calls attention to the vulnerability of bodies as an essential aspect of having boundaries and being bound to other bodies. The volume advances an understanding of embodiment as the central aspect of subjectivity, its identity formation and its relations to others and the world. The essence of embodiment is what connects us with others and in equal measure what distinguishes us from others. The collection also addresses the centrality of the body to political and cultural activity, targeting the role and constitution of norms in the regulation of bodies, and the construction of spaces that bodies inhabit, in constructing national and cultural identities. It raises questions of how bodies and boundaries materialize in co-constitutive relation to one another; how bodies are situated and come to embody various bodies and intersections between different categories of identity and systems of value, meaning and knowledge; how the regulation and policing of bodies and the boundaries between them come to constitute bodies as being weak, strong, vulnerable or resilient and as having more or less fixed or fluid boundaries. The chapters in the volume all demonstrate how individual human bodies are formed in relation to each other as they are regulated and distinguished from one another by larger collective bodies of nature, culture, science, nation and state, as well as by other human or non-human animal bodies.
Trump: The Art Of The Deal
by Tony Schwartz Donald J. TrumpPresident-elect Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America’s foremost deal-maker. “I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”—Donald J. Trump Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker’s art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur—the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight.
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things
by Robert FulghumFifteen years ago, Robert Fulghum published a simple credo; a credo that became the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Now, seven million copies later, Fulghum returns to the book that was embraced around the world. He has written a new preface and twenty-five essays, which add even more potency to a common, though no less relevant, piece of wisdom: that the most basic aspects of life bear its most important opportunities. Here Fulghum engages us with musings on life, death, love, pain, joy, sorrow, and the best chicken-fried steak in the continental U. S. A. The little seed in the Styrofoam cup offers a reminder about our own mortality and the delicate nature of life . . . a spider who catches (and loses) a full-grown woman in its web one fine morning teaches us about surviving catastrophe . . . the love story of Jean-Francois Pilatre and his hot air balloon reminds us to be brave and unafraid to . . . life lessons hidden in the laundry pile . . . magical qualities found in a box of crayons . . . hide-and-seek vs. sardines and how these games relate to the nature of God. All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten is brimming with the very stuff of life and the significance found in the smallest details. In the years that have passed since the first publication of this book that touched so many with its simple, profound wisdom, Robert Fulghum has had some time to ponder, to reevaluate, and to reconsider. And here are those fresh thoughts on classic topics, right alongside the wonderful new essays. Perhaps in today's chaotic, more challenging world, these essays on life will resonate even deeper as readers discover how universal insights can be found in ordinary events.

La fuerza de un sueño: Entrena tus emociones para superar los límites
by Teresa PeralesCuando con 19 años Teresa Perales sufrió una enfermedad que le obligó a partir de ese momento a moverse en silla de ruedas, podía haber decidido ver solo todas las cosas que aparentemente ya no podía hacer. Y, sin embargo, tomó el camino contrario; a pesar de los auténticos muros que se levantaban frente a ella, decidió a aprender a enfrentarse a las cosas de forma diferente a como lo hacía antes, negándose a asumir la excusa del autosabotaje que implica el «no puedo.»Esa actitud positiva le llevó a la práctica del deporte de élite, a batir varios récords del mundo de natación y a conquistar 22 medallas paraolímpicas. A partir de su propia experiencia personal, Teresa formula su famosa teoría del «espiralismo», que afirma que cada uno de nosotros es capaz de crear su propia espiral de optimismo y felicidad. La fuerza de un sueño nos enseña, a través de la experiencia vital de Teresa, la enorme fuerza transformadora que se esconde tras la frase «querer es poder.»

The Meaning of Happiness: The Quest for Freedom of the Spirit in Modern Psychology and the Wisdom of the East
by Alan WattsDeep down, most people think that happiness comes from having or doing something. Here, in Alan Watts’s groundbreaking second book (originally published in 1940), he offers a more challenging thesis: authentic happiness comes from embracing life as a whole in all its contradictions and paradoxes, an attitude that Watts calls the “way of acceptance.” Drawing on Eastern philosophy, Western mysticism, and analytic psychology, Watts demonstrates that happiness comes from accepting both the outer world around us and the inner world inside us — the unconscious mind, with its irrational desires, lurking beyond the awareness of the ego. Although written early in his career, The Meaning of Happiness displays the hallmarks of his mature style: the crystal-clear writing, the homespun analogies, the dry wit, and the breadth of knowledge that made Alan Watts one of the most influential philosophers of his generation.
Una nueva arca de Noé: Vivir con conciencia
by OshoAnte una situación de crisis generalizada, Osho nos propone construir un «arca de Noé de la conciencia» para liberarnos de aquellos valores caducos que no nos dejan avanzar. Parece que día tras día la Humanidad se acerque cada vez más a lo que se ha denominado «la gran extinción»: el cambio climático se está acelerando a un ritmo alarmante; la globalización, por otro lado, no ha cumplido sus promesas de acercar a la gente y crear una sociedad más abierta, inteligente e inclusiva, todo lo contrario; y las instituciones públicas, que deberían velar por un mundo más justo, no hacen más que agravar esta situación de crisis. La presente edición está formada por una serie de charlas en las que Osho propone la creación de una suerte de «arca de Noé de la conciencia», que nos permitirá superar todos aquellos valores antiguos y caducos que nos han llevado a esta situación, y ser más conscientes de la realidad tal y como es. Osho también nos enseña que el único momento que podemos vivir es el ahora, solo así hallaremos la fuerza necesaria para superar estos tiempos tan difíciles.

El test de la golosina: Cómo entender y manejar el autocontrol
by Walter MischelCómo entender y manejar el autocontrol Un niño recibe una golosina y una instrucción clara: se puede comer la golosina de inmediato, o esperar cinco minutos y comerse dos golosinas. ¿Qué hará? ¿Y qué indica su decisión acerca de su comportamiento futuro? Este sencillo experimento, ideado en los años 60 por el legendario psicólogo Walter Mischel, supuso una auténtica revolución y le convirtió en el primer experto mundial sobre autocontrol. Mischel ha demostrado que la capacidad de aplazar la recompensa es fundamental para una vida exitosa, y produce mejores resultados académicos, mejores funciones cognitivas y sociales, un estilo de vida más saludable y una mayor autoestima. Pero ¿nacemos con esa fuerza de voluntad o se puede aprender? En El test de la golosina, Mischel explica cómo se puede conseguir el autocontrol y aplicarlo a los retos de la vida cotidiana - desde la dieta hasta dejar de fumar, superar desamores, tomar decisiones importantes y planear la jubilación. Lleno de profundas implicaciones para las decisiones que toman las familias, el sistema educativo, los poderes públicos y la sanidad, El test de la golosina cambiará la manera en que vemos cómo somos y cómo podemos llegar a ser. Reseña:«Un libro brillante que cambiará profundamente tu opinión sobre la naturaleza humana.»Daniel Kahneman Premio Nobel y autor de Pensar rápido, pensar despacio
How to Get What You Want
by Wallace WattlesIn How to Get What You Want, a pamphlet by New Thought author WALLACE D. WATTLES, he explains in a short but practical way what the factors for success are, and how anyone can develop and attain it in their life.

This pamphlet offers the reader a shot in the arm and inspires, just as Wattles inspired Rhonda Byrne to create the successful film The Secret in 2006.
