Adaptability
by Max MckeownAll success is successful adaptation. All failure is a failure to adapt. Adaptability is about the powerful difference between adapting to cope and adapting to win. Fascinating real-world examples from business, government, and sport, military and wider society bring the rules of adaptability to life. From the world's most innovation corporations to street-level creativity emerging from the slums. From McDonalds to Sony, from post-war Iraq to the revolutions of the Arab Spring, from the bustling markets of Hong Kong to the rubber marked circuit of the Monte Carlo Rally. With insightful rules, Max Mckeown shows you how to increase the adaptability of your organization to create winning positions. Human history is a story of competition to adapt between groups and individuals. It has never been more important to understand how to think better and adapt.
Adaptate En Cualquier Situación
by Dada Bhagwan¿Acaso nos quejamos a la alcantarilla cuando ésta huele mal? De la misma manera, hay gente que es desagradable y negativa como una alcantarilla. Todo lo que huele mal lo llamamos alcantarilla y a todo lo que huela bien lo llamamos una flor. Adáptate a ambos olores. Estas dos situaciones te están diciendo : “Conviértete en un Vitraag (en un ser libre de apego y de aversión) con nosotros (el mal y el buen olor)” Todos nosotros nos hemos tenido que adaptar muchas veces en nuestra vida a circunstancias desagradables. Por ejemplo, utilizamos un paragüa cuando llueve. Cuando llueve no nos ponemos a discutir o a luchar contra la lluvia. De la misma forma , tanto si nos gusta estudiar como si no, tenemos que adaptarnos y ponernos a estudiar. .Pero, cuando encontramos a una persona difícil , no sólo no la cuestionamos, discutiendo u oponiéndonos a ella, sino que incluso acabamos generando un conflicto con ella ¿Por qué ocurre esto? Param Pujya Dadashri (maestro de la ciencia espiritual) nos reveló la siguiente verdad ; “ ADAPTATE A CUALQUIER SITUACION” como la fórmula definitiva para ayudarnos a resolver todas las circunstancias que constantemente están cambiando , previniendo así conflictos lo que a su vez nos proveerá de paz y de felicidad. Esta frase tan sencilla pero a la vez tan poderosa tiene el poder de cambiar tu vida,... sigue leyendo para ver cómo se hace.
Adapte-se A Tudo
by Dada BhagwanSerá que reclamamos quando um esgoto cheira? Da mesma maneira as pessoas que são desagradáveis ??e negativas são como os esgotos. Tudo que cheire mal, nós chamamos de esgoto e tudo o que cheira bem chamamos de flor. Adapte-se a ambos. Ambas as situações estão dizendo: “Torne-se Vitarag (sem qualquer apego ou aversão) conosco”. Você sofre por causa de suas opiniões sobre o bem e o mal. Você deve mantê-las sob controle. Quando dizemos que algo é bom, outras coisas por comparação tornam-se más e começam a nos incomodar. Se nós nos colocamos acima das opiniões, boas ou más, não há sofrimento. ’Adaptar-se a Tudo’ é minha sugestão. Não importa o que as pessoas digam, seja verdade ou não, devemos nos adaptar. Se alguém me diz que eu não tenho noção, eu me adapto imediatamente, dizendo: “Você está certo. Eu sempre fui um pouco lento. Você só percebeu isso hoje, enquanto eu tenho conhecimento disso desde minha infância.” Se você responder assim vai evitar o conflito. Eles nunca irá incomodá-lo novamente. Se você não se adaptar, quando você vai chegar a ’sua casa’ (moksha, libertação do ciclo de nascimento e morte)? Com os pais e as crianças há ajustes a cada passo do caminho. Se nós adaptarmos com compreensão, haverá paz e não vamos vincular qualquer karma. Se não nos adaptarmos às pessoas ao nosso redor, vamos convidar problemas. Esta estratégia de ’Adapte-se a tudo’ é a chave mestra do Dadashri, que abre todas as portas na vida. Se usarmos a máxima de ouro do Gnani Purush Dadashri ’Adapte-se a tudo’ e a aplicarmos em nossa vida, então nossa vida cotidiana se tornará bela.

Addicted Healers
by Ethan O. BrysonPrescription drug abuse represents a serious and growing public health problem in the medical profession. We the public have a right to know what we are getting into when we walk through the doors of a hospital or doctor's office.One to two percent of all healthcare professionals will become addicted each year. This figure is rough, since not every addicted healthcare professional overdoses, gets caught or ends up in a treatment program or before the state medical or nursing board for disciplinary action. If they do enter treatment they may do so anonymously or not through a referral from a state agency. Because of these issues, the prevalence of addiction in the population of healthcare professionals remains unknown."Addiction is a disease of isolation," states Bryson. It is rare that the addicted healthcare professional has the luxury of a confidant. If they are discovered, they fear they will lose their jobs, their licenses and the ability to find another job, as well as the respect of former colleagues, family

Addicted to Drama: Healing Dependency on Crisis and Chaos in Yourself and Others
by Dr. Scott LyonsWith empathy, humor, and unique insight, a psychologist examines drama addiction and charts a path for healing in this groundbreaking book.Do you know someone who seems to thrive on chaos, a person who manufactures crisis where there is none, makes mountains out of molehills, and whose very presence feels like an inescapable whirlwind?You may even label them a &“drama queen.&” This person might be someone close to you. This person might even be you. In this groundbreaking book, clinical psychologist and mind-body expert Dr. Scott Lyons turns the notion of the &“drama queen&” on its head, showing that drama is actually an addiction and those who are suffering with it are experiencing a much deeper psychological, biological, and social pain. For a person addicted to drama, the intensity becomes their way of coping. Their life is a constant cycle of crisis, chaos, and chronically high levels of stress. They may never be able to relax without an internal alarm going off, sending them spiraling back toward chaos. Drama is the stirring, the excitement, the exaggeration, the eruption, the unrest, and the medicine to feel alive in relation to the numbing of the internal and external world around them. For a person addicted to drama, the drama is often how they survive—or think they do. With studies, primary research, and patient stories, Dr. Lyons deconstructs this little-understood addiction, sharing: what drama addiction is and what it is not how to identify patterns of drama addiction in yourself and others the somatic effects of drama addiction, including chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, joint and muscle pains, and other conditions the origins of drama addiction— and how we are heading towards a global pandemic of a dependency on crisis and chaos accessible exercises for recovery and healing Rather than dismiss addiction to drama as just attention-seeking, Dr. Lyons offers clear-eyed empathy, humor, and practical strategies to help us all understand and break free of the drama cycle.
