The Map of Meaningful Work (2e): A Practical Guide to Sustaining our Humanity
by Marjolein Lips-Wiersma Lani MorrisThis book introduces the Map of Meaning which provides a clear, simple and profound framework of the dimensions and process of living and working meaningfully. The Map of Meaning is based on over 20 years' research into the insights and practice of ordinary people as they search for, lose and find meaning. Incorporating the ideas of philosophers, psychologists and sociologists, this book describes how human beings wrestle with, and answer, questions such as, "What gives my life and work meaning?", "How can I balance inspiration and reality and maintain positive momentum?" and "How do we integrate meaningfulness into our workplaces?". Innate human knowledge is captured in a practical model that makes understanding and working with issues of meaning clear and accessible to everyone. At an individual level this book helps people to define and stay in contact with what is most important to them as they grapple with the real problems of daily life. It shows how they can stay in charge of keeping the human search for meaning alive, especially in the face of the challenges that exist in organizational life. Because the dimensions of meaning are shared, the second half of the book focuses on how we can bring an awareness of what creates meaningful work into our thinking about the practice and design of organisations. The authors recognize that in the current economic context a simple, yet profound guide for humanity is essential, precisely because organizational life has become so intensely directed towards a singular economic goal. They argue that it is vital that people have an easy, powerful way to reclaim the significance of meaning in their working lives both individually and at a whole of organization level. Updated with new chapter material and case studies, this second edition offers profound insights for anyone who is interested in creating more meaning and purpose in work and organizations – from a CEO to a blue-collar worker or consultant. It is for those searching for ways to re-energize their roles or change their careers. It is for anyone who firmly believes that it must be possible to align our deeper life purposes with our daily actions in the workplace. It is for anyone who is committed to creating workplaces that support and enable the experience of work that feels worth doing.

Maxwell nos hace partícipes de sus ideas acerca de lo que significa ser exitoso. Revela una definición que pone el éxito genuino a su alcance, y le motiva para seguir luchando por sus sueños.
Mapa sentimental: Alcanza la estabilidad emocional conociendo tus sentimientos
by Javier UrraNunca es tarde para el cambio, no hay acción sin conciencia ni conducta sin elección previa. Hemos de conocer nuestros sentimientos para entendernos y para comprender al otro... para ser felices. «Al igual que en los puertos de carretera existe una zona de frenada ya dispuesta, a nivel emocional y sentimental es bueno preparar salidas de emergencia ante situaciones de riesgo. »No hay acción sin conciencia, no hay conducta sin elección previa. Podemos controlarnos y manejar nuestro diálogo interior para conducirnos en la incertidumbre, aceptar la frustración y controlar nuestros impulsos. El lenguaje que utilizamos crea nuestra realidad. Es necesario fomentar la habilidad relacional y aprender a reconocer las emociones ajenas. Que no nos suceda en la vida lo que nos puede ocurrir durante un viaje, que avanzamos kilómetros sin ser conscientes de por dónde hemos pasado. »Nuestra andadura emocional, sentimental se fundamenta en el simple hecho de sentir, de acumular pasiones. Esta es nuestra verdadera naturaleza. Es importante avanzar en la vida con pilares sólidos fraguados desde la inteligencia, el humor, los sentimientos y la voluntad. Solo si somos capaces de conocernos, de gestionar nuestros afectos, de aplacar nuestra ira y de vencer nuestros miedos podremos avanzar, cumplir nuestros objetivos. »La vida discurre acelerada y en medio del fluir del tiempo y de las obligaciones que nos asolan hemos de diseñar un mapa sentimental propio que nos acerque a los demás y que nos explique como individuos, pues somos lo que sentimos y es fundamental conocer y gestionar nuestros afectos para evitar que las emociones negativas nos aprisionen, para ser más libres. »Este libro nos propone diversos itinerarios para aprender a amar, a descubrir nuestras fortalezas, a atenuar nuestras debilidades... para conseguir alcanzar la estabilidad emocional».

Mapping Motivation for Coaching (The Complete Guide to Mapping Motivation)
by James Sale Bevis MoynanMapping Motivation for Coaching, co-written with Bevis Moynan, is the first of a series of six books that are all linked to the author's Motivational Map toolkit. Each book builds on a different aspect of personal, team, and organisational development. This book is a practical guide to understanding how personal and career development is underpinned by motivation, and how coaching and mapping are perfectly complementary activities. More specifically, it shows how using Motivational Maps within an accepted coaching framework can not only accelerate the process in order to achieve results for the client more quickly, but also go deeper, both in mutual understanding and also the possibility of facilitating a successful outcome; for the client not only needs to understand their issue more effectively through the coaching process, but also needs to be motivated to want to take significant action to deal with it. Understanding, then, is one thing, but having the energy for follow-through is another, and it is precisely in this area that combining Maps with coaching techniques is so powerful. This highly original approach will enable all coaches everywhere in the world to get into the heart of their clients’ issues faster, better, and be able to help them solve these issues more easily.
Mapping Motivation for Leadership (The Complete Guide to Mapping Motivation)
by James Sale Jane ThomasMapping Motivation for Leadership, co-written with Jane Thomas, is the fourth of a series of seven books that are all linked to the author’s Motivational Map toolkit. Each book builds on a different aspect of personal, team and organisational development. This is a practical guide to leadership in the 21st century and builds on the ‘4+1’ model outlined in the author's original book Mapping Motivation: Unlocking the Key to Employee Energy and Engagement. There is an increasing body of evidence, that the single most important aspect of being a leader relates to managing emotions effectively, and this management goes way beyond simply ‘understanding’ emotional intelligence; it is in fact a practice and one that is intimately connected with personal development and growth, and with energy. Energy, as Mapping Motivation made clear, is synonymous with motivation. The effective leaders of tomorrow will be those who understand their motivators, who regularly measure their motivators, sustain and replenish and maximise their motivators, and who do the same for their employees. Clearly, there is a link here with the book on engagement, for leaders who do so will engage their employees. However, this book not only covers the motivational side of leadership, but also explores in detail the skill sets necessary in the ‘4+1’ model: thinking skills, action skills, team skills and motivational skills plus that indefinable ‘something’ that is a commitment to personal development, so that we as leaders are not trying to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s training as our only internal resource.
Mapping Motivation for Top Performing Teams (The Complete Guide to Mapping Motivation)
by James SaleMapping Motivation for Top Performing Teams is the final volume in a series of books that are all linked to the author's Motivational Map toolkit. Each book builds on a different aspect of personal, team and organisational development. This book, using the Motivational Map, the Team Motivational Map, as well as the Organisation Motivational Map, is a practical guide to understanding how team dynamics and success are hugely influenced by motivational factors, which are not usually taken into account. The book is a deeper exploration of team mapping which occurs in Chapter 6 of Mapping Motivation (2015), Chapter 6 of Mapping Motivation for Engagement (with Steve Jones, 2019), and Chapter 6 of Mapping Motivation for Leadership (with Jane Thomas, 2020). But whereas these chapters only touched on specific aspects of team dynamics, this book covers the issues more comprehensively; it also attempts to avoid replication of materials, although there are bound to be small overlaps. It covers not only how motivations affect team productivity and how this can be boosted through targeted Reward Strategies, but also how ‘mapping’ provides profounder insights into the four key characteristics of top performing teams: the clear remit, vital interdependency, strong belief, and real accountability. How Motivational Maps covers these areas, we believe to be original, eye-opening and effective in the management of change. Further, as always with Motivational Maps, its language and metrics raise self-awareness at an individual and team level, and so can help resolve conflicts through its common and non-judgmental language. Managing teams is the key skill of managers: thus this book is a handbook for managers everywhere who wish to excel at management, for without bringing their teams on board (i.e. motivating their teams), they are not effectively managing.
Mapping the Darkness: The Visionary Scientists Who Unlocked the Mysteries of Sleep
by Kenneth Miller&‘Fascinating, magisterially researched, and brilliantly written.&’ Steve Silberman, author of Neurotribes Thirty-two days underground. No heat. No sunlight. 4 June 1938. Nathaniel Kleitman and his research student make their way down the seventy-one steps leading to the mouth of Mammoth Cave. They are about to embark on one of the most intrepid and bizarre experiments in medical history, one which will change our understanding of sleep forever. Undisturbed by natural light, they will investigate what happens when you overturn one of the fundamental rhythms of the human body. Together, they enter the darkness. When Kleitman first arrived in New York, a penniless twenty-year-old refugee, few would have guessed that in just a few decades he would revolutionise the field of sleep science. In Mapping the Darkness, Kenneth Miller weaves science and history to tell the story of the outsider scientists who took sleep science from the fringes to a mainstream obsession. Reliving the spectacular experiments, technological innovation, imaginative leaps and single-minded commitment of these early pioneers, Miller provides a tantalising glimpse into the most mysterious third of our lives.

by Sascha Altman DubrulPart mad manifesto, part revolutionary love letter, part freight train adventure story-Maps to the Other Side is a self-reflective shattered mirror, a twist on the classic punk rock travel narrative that searches for authenticity and connection in the lives of strangers and the solidarity and limitations of underground community.<P><P> Beginning at the edge of the internet age, a time when radical zine culture prefigured social networking sites, these timely writings paint an illuminated trail through a complex labyrinth of undocumented migrants, anarchist community organizers, brilliant visionary artists, revolutionary seed savers, punk rock historians, social justice farmers, radical mental health activists, and iconoclastic bridge builders. This book is a document of one person's odyssey to transform his experiences navigating the psychiatric system by building community in the face of adversity; a set of maps for how rebels and dreamers can survive and thrive in a crazy world.

Marathon Faith: Motivation from the Greatest Endurance Runners of the Bible
by John Van PayGOD WANTS TO FINISH WHAT HE STARTED IN YOU Surrendering your life to Jesus is the greatest decision you will ever make, but that's just the starting line. Many of us begin a journey of following Jesus without a realistic expectation of the price required to finish our spiritual race. As a result, we lose heart when the road becomes difficult. In Marathon Faith: Motivation from the Greatest Endurance Runners of the Bible, pastor and marathon runner John Van Pay offers help. Van Pay shows how the "endurance runners of the Bible" overcame obstacles on their faith journeys and how you too can finish your spiritual race through their example. By adding personal adventures, humorous mishaps, and grueling struggles from his own endurance races and life experiences, Van Pay shares in vulnerable ways how God helps when things get tough. You too can finish strong.

A Maravilhosa Vida Após a Morte: Aventuras Adicionais em Do Outro Lado da Vida: Volume Dois
by Richard MartiniEste é o volume dois de "A Maravilhosa Vida Após a Morte". Ele também alcançou o primeiro lugar de vendas na Amazon.com (em todos os seus gêneros no Kindle) depois de minha aparição no programa de rádio "Coast to Coast" com George Noory em 12 de dezembro de 2014. Há uma versão kindle de todos os três livros ("Do Outro lado," "It's a Wonderful Afterlife ", volume um), bem como brochura e audível. O livro acaba de ser escolhido para publicação na Índia. Tive vários pedidos para traduzir este material na Europa. Devo alertar o tradutor, entretanto, pois este material não é para todos. É sobre a vida após a morte, é sobre a morte, e é sobre o que milhares dizem sobre a vida após a morte sob hipnose profunda. O que eles dizem é consistente, e nos dois primeiros livros incluo cientistas e transcrições de sessões reais de hipnose, onde as pessoas dizem as mesmas coisas sobre a jornada da alma de todos - não apenas pela vida, mas após a morte também, e então no processo de retorno novamente. Também incluo no volume 2 um capítulo polêmico em que um médium psíquico afirma entrevistar uma das figuras religiosas mais famosas da história - usei esta entrevista para examinar o que essa pessoa estava dizendo não apenas sobre a vida após a morte, mas também sobre sua própria jornada durante a vida deles, e como essa informação se encaixou com tudo o que todo mundo está dizendo sobre nossa jornada aqui. Mas pode ofender algumas pessoas - e eu apenas sugiro que se você conhece alguém familiarizado com termos científicos sobre física quântica, psicologia, mas também sobre espiritualidade - sobre pessoas budistas e, além disso, o que as pessoas dizem sobre consciência - este livro pode ou não ser algo que você gostaria de enfrentar. No entanto, aprendi algo realmente básico nesta minha jornada - afinal, sou jornalista e cineasta e já tive muitas experiências - é que as pessoas que deveriam encontrar esse material o encontrarão.
A Maravilhosa Vida Após a Morte: Aventuras Adicionais em Do Outro Lado da Vida
by Richard Martini"A Maravilhosa Vida Após a Morte: Novas Aventuras do Outro Lado da Vida". Minhas aparições públicas sempre trazem um pico às vendas dos livros, enquanto falo não apenas da minha jornada ao material, mas também dos relatos consistentes de que pessoas sob hipnose profunda e durante experiências de quase morte relatam sobre a vida após a morte. Eu fiz minhas próprias versões em áudio dos livros, assim como as publiquei, e recebo e-mails de todo o mundo de pessoas me agradecendo por ajudá-las no sofrimento. Portanto, esse gênero não é para todos, e recomendo considerar o material antes de fazer uma tradução. Tudo o que posso dizer é que é uma alteração da mente e, talvez, dê uma olhada em algumas das palestras do meu livro no YouTube sob MartiniProds, se você puder, para ter uma ideia de como essa pesquisa surgiu. Ele aborda várias áreas diferentes, da ciência (entrevistas com cientistas, neurocientistas) a transcrições reais de pessoas sob hipnose profunda, a entrevistas com pessoas que nunca foram hipnotizadas, não pensavam que poderiam ser, e ainda falam clara e conscientemente da perspectiva de estar do outro lado do véu, por assim dizer. Existem três livros e todos, mas "A Maravilhosa Vida após a Morte" volumes um e dois juntos, então há bastante material aqui. Uma tarefa assustadora para dizer o mínimo! Mas, ao final das contas, esse é o tipo de material que muda a vida de quem o lê e, talvez, de quem o traduz. Obrigado pela sua consideração.
Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me: A Graphic Memoir
by Ellen ForneyCartoonist Ellen Forney explores the relationship between &“crazy&” and &“creative&” in this graphic memoir of her bipolar disorder, woven with stories of famous bipolar artists and writers. Shortly before her thirtieth birthday, Forney was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Flagrantly manic and terrified that medications would cause her to lose creativity, she began a years-long struggle to find mental stability while retaining her passions and creativity. Searching to make sense of the popular concept of the crazy artist, she finds inspiration from the lives and work of other artists and writers who suffered from mood disorders, including Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O&’Keeffe, William Styron, and Sylvia Plath. She also researches the clinical aspects of bipolar disorder, including the strengths and limitations of various treatments and medications, and what studies tell us about the conundrum of attempting to &“cure&” an otherwise brilliant mind.Darkly funny and intensely personal, Forney&’s memoir provides a visceral glimpse into the effects of a mood disorder on an artist&’s work, as she shares her own story through bold black-and-white images and evocative prose.
