The Dolphin Way
by Shimi KangIn this inspiring book, Harvard-trained child and adult psychiatrist and expert in human motivation Dr. Shimi Kang provides a guide to the art and science of inspiring children to develop their own internal drive and a lifelong love of learning. Drawing on the latest neuroscience and behavioral research, Dr. Kang shows why pushy "tiger parents" and permissive "jellyfish parents" actually hinder self-motivation. She proposes a powerful new parenting model: the intelligent, joyful, playful, highly social dolphin. Dolphin parents focus on maintaining balance in their children's lives to gently yet authoritatively guide them toward lasting health, happiness, and success. As the medical director for Child and Youth Mental Health community programs in Vancouver, British Columbia, Dr. Kang has witnessed firsthand the consequences of parental pressure: anxiety disorders, high stress levels, suicides, and addictions. As the mother of three children and as the daughter of immigrant parents who struggled to give their children the "best" in life--Dr. Kang's mother could not read and her father taught her math while they drove around in his taxicab--Dr. Kang argues that often the simplest "benefits" we give our children are the most valuable. By trusting our deepest intuitions about what is best for our kids, we will in turn allow them to develop key dolphin traits to enable them to thrive in an increasingly complex world: adaptability, community-mindedness, creativity, and critical thinking. Life is a journey through ever-changing waters, and dolphin parents know that the most valuable help we can give our children is to assist them in developing their own inner compass. Combining irrefutable science with unforgettable real-life stories, The Dolphin Way walks readers through Dr. Kang's four-part method for cultivating self-motivation. The book makes a powerful case that we are not forced to choose between being permissive or controlling. The third option--the option that will prepare our kids for success in a future that will require adaptability--is the dolphin way.
The Domain of Being Ontology
by Celestine Nicholas Charles BittleTHIS IS a book of acquaintance. As a rule, college students and general readers have had little or no acquaintance with ontology, or general metaphysics, as a science in its own right. Many ideas of an ontological or metaphysical character are, of course, encountered in their daily reading in books, magazine articles, scientific treatises, and professional discussions of all kinds. While the general meaning of such ideas is clear enough, their signification and implication, as an integral part in the structure of philosophic thought, is unknown or hardly felt. They become understood and appreciated in their full value only when studied in the context of the philosophic science of ontology or metaphysics as a whole. Hence the need of correlating these scattered ideas into a basic science, such as ontology, and of fitting them into the fundamental framework of a philosophic system of thought.In accordance with this purpose, the scope of the book is frankly positive and constructive. It attempts to build up an understanding of the matter of ontology in a logical manner, using simple language, illustrating the subjects with copious examples, and extracting the contents of each chapter into compact summaries. Some of the more abstruse problems of ontology, such as the problem of essence and existence, have been omitted; it was felt that the average student would derive little benefit from a lengthy discussion of problems which have taxed the ingenuity and acumen of the most profound intellects. Such problems may be attacked after the student has become acquainted with the ideas and subjects which form the foundation of the science of metaphysics. After all, the student cannot be expected to be a professional philosopher; it should be sufficient if he acquires a thorough grounding in fundamentals, so that he can deepen his knowledge through subsequent reading and study.
Domesticar al elefante
by Fernando Enrique PlataTodos los seres humanos buscamos la felicidad. Sin embargo, a lo largo de la historia las interpretaciones de lo que significa tener una vida feliz han sido tan diversas como las fórmulas para alcanzarla. Pero lo cierto es que este es un concepto esquivo y esa dificultad para entenderlo nos genera enorme frustración. Fernando Enrique Plata, coach ontológico y conferencista experto en la ciencia de la felicidad, plantea una salida: ser feliz no es una meta, sino una actitud que nos moviliza para conseguir los resultados que deseamos, tanto en nuestra vida personal como en el trabajo. A través de la metáfora del elefante, que representa aquellas narrativas inconscientes que nos impiden cambiar, el autor demuestra que, sin saberlo, nuestro mayor obstáculo somos nosotros mismos. Pero también, que la felicidad es una habilidad que se desarrolla, y en esa medida tenemos el poder de hacernos cargo de nuestro bienestar para transformar la manera en que afrontamos las circunstancias. En eso consiste la domesticación del elefante. La tarea es, entonces, entrenarnos como los mejores cornacas o domadores, y este libro nos enseña cómo. Desde una perspectiva científica y filosófica, que sitúa el lenguaje y el autodescubrimiento como las claves de la transformación, el autor nos entrega 14 principios para una vida feliz, acompañados de herramientas prácticas para ser mejores y actuar en coherencia con los resultados que buscamos. La invitación es a parar y mirar hacia adentro. A desactivar el piloto automático en el que nos sumergen aquellos sesgos y prejuicios paquidérmicos, y a aprender a gestionar nuestras emociones. A que el elefante se vuelva nuestro mejor aliado y que, junto a él, empecemos a transitar el camino hacia la felicidad.
Domestique: The Real-life Ups and Downs of a Tour Pro
by Charly Wegelius**Winner - Sweetspot Cycling Book of the Year** For 11 years I was a professional cyclist, competing in the hardest and greatest races on Earth. I was in demand from the world’s best teams, a well-paid elite athlete. But I never won a race. I was the hired help.When my mum dropped me off in a small French town aged 17, I was full of determination to be a professional cyclist, but I was completely green. I went from mowing the team manager’s lawn to winning every amateur race I entered. Then I turned pro and realised I hated the responsibility and pressure of chasing victory. And that’s when I became a domestique.I learned to take that hurt and give it everything I had to give, all for someone else’s win. When the order came in to ride I pushed out with the hardest rhythm I could, dragging the group faster and faster, until my whole body screamed with pain. There were times I rode myself to a standstill, clutching the barrier metres from the line, as the lead group shot past. But that’s what made me a so good at my job.As my career took off, I started looking at the fans lining the route, cheering us like heroes. The passion for cycling oozed off them, but they couldn’t know what it was really like. They didn’t see the terrible hotels, the crazy egos or all the shit that goes with great expectations. Well, this is how it is…
The Dominance Factor: How Knowing Your Dominant Eye, Ear, Brain, Hand and Foot Can Improve Your Learning
by Carla HannafordNeuroscientist and educator Dr. Carla Hannaford fascinating frontier (study) of knowledge about ... and its impact on learning and thinking at an ages. Her earlier book, Smart Moves, Why Learning Is Not All In Your Head, has been hailed for its insights into the body's role in learning. Joseph Chilton Pearce calls it "a major work of profound importance to our understanding of child development and education."

Your Dominance Profile is actually a key factor in shaping the way you think and act. Carla Hannaford shows why, and reveals how knowing your Profile will help you, and your children, to learn in the way that suits you best, and perform at your highest level. The Dominance Factor clearly explains methods for discovering your Profile that are so simple, non-invasive and easy to learn that even a child can do them. This is a book that parents, teachers, and all of us who need to understand what makes ourselves and others tick, will use and enjoy.
Dominando o Hábito
by Adidas WilsonVocê sempre vai ouvir pessoas dando desculpas, dizendo que não nasceram com o talento necessário para chegar ao sucesso. E é verdade que há pessoas naturalmente beneficiadas de algumas formas. No entanto, alcançar o sucesso resume-se a compromisso e dedicação à aquisição e ao aperfeiçoamento de habilidades. De fato, o talento nada mais é do que o ponto inicial. Ninguém está negando que existe o talento natural, como uma vantagem genética, especialmente no que concerne à habilidade física. Apesar disso, o sucesso não é sempre uma aventura física para a maior parte das pessoas. Elas só querem fazer algo e serem boas nisso. Desejam merecer um salário decente enquanto fazem algo gratificante – tudo por uma vida confortável. Toda pessoa bem-sucedida que você vê teve que trabalhar duro para chegar lá; do velocista olímpico ao músico mundialmente renomado. Você deseja ser bem-sucedido? Bem, pare de se limitar. “Para ser uma estrela, você precisa brilhar com sua própria luz, caminhar por seu próprio caminho e não se preocupar com a escuridão, porque é nela que as estrelas projetam mais o seu brilho”. - Napoleon Hill
Domine sus Hábitos: Cómo Piensan y Actúan las Personas Exitosas
by Adidas WilsonSiempre va a escuchar a las personas buscando excusas, quejándose y diciendo que no nacieron con el talento necesario para triunfar y tener éxito. Aunque es cierto que hay personas que por naturaleza tienen, en algunos aspectos, ventajas sobre los demás, lo cierto es que alcanzar el éxito en algo se reduce a comprometerse y tomarse el tiempo para adquirir y dominar las habilidades que sean necesarias. De hecho, aunque se tenga talento, este no es más que el punto de partida. Nadie niega que el talento natural exista. Hay ventajas genéticas, especialmente cuando se trata de la capacidad física de una persona. Sin embargo, para la mayoría, el éxito no siempre es el resultado de una competencia física. La mayoría solo quieren hacer algo y ser buenos en lo que están haciendo. Quieren ganar un salario decente mientras hacen algo que los llene –y todo esto para tener una vida cómoda. Toda persona exitosa que vea ha tenido que trabajar duro para llegar a donde ha llegado; desde el medallista olímpico hasta el músico de fama mundial ¿Desea tener éxito? Bueno, deje de ponerse límites. "Para ser una estrella, debe brillar con luz propia, seguir su propio camino y no preocuparse por la oscuridad. Es en la oscuridad donde las estrellas brillan con más intensidad". −Napoleón Hill

The Don: 36 Rules of the Bosses
by RJ Roger Joost ElffersFrom Cosa Nostra expert RJ Roger and publishing genius Joost Elffers comes a riveting history of the Mafia in America, the undeniable sweep and power of the Five Families, and their Machiavellian strategies—all condensed into an electrifying guidebook for understanding and harnessing the Mafia&’s philosophy of successfully rising within any hierarchy (legally, of course). A captivating history of the Mafia in America as well as an illuminating breakdown of the formidably effective—indeed ruthless—success strategies of the infamous Five Families that ruled, for anyone who&’s ever wondered what it takes to be a boss.The Don: 36 Rules of the Bosses is the fascinating culmination of author RJ Roger's extensive research into the Italian-American Cosa Nostra. Analyzing more than 100 years of underworld history, Roger has distilled the behavior of the bosses of the five New York Mafia families—the most powerful in the United States—into 36 rules. Unwritten until codified in The Don, these rules were the foundation of the bosses&’ success for over a century. Created in collaboration with Joost Elffers, the producer behind Robert Greene&’s international bestseller The 48 Laws of Power, Roger&’s The Don: 36 Rules of the Bosses details the history of the American Mafia. More important, it elucidates the strategies by which the bosses of the Five Families achieved and held power. Many of these leaders were devotees of Niccolò Machiavelli's treatise The Prince, a manual for would-be rulers written in 1513 and still read today by power brokers of many kinds around the world. Understanding the influence of this book on the most successful Mafia bosses, and also applying his expertise in contemporary business practices and his deep knowledge of America&’s underworld, Roger has identified 36 rules common to them all. In The Don, he explains these rules in ways that will be useful to any reader hoping to gain power, whether personally, politically, or in business.

¿Donde lo has puesto? Esperanza Retrasada
by Pensacola Helene JeffersonUna carrera de relevos es una competencia, de algún tipo, en la que dos o más participantes forman un equipo y se turnan para completar, realizar o terminar la parte requerida de una carrera establecida contra otro equipo de concursantes. Por ejemplo, un tipo de carrera de relevos tiene cuatro participantes en un equipo y se les llama velocistas. Cada velocista corre, su preestablecido, pero a la misma distancia o pierna, portando una batuta, y luego pasa la batuta al siguiente corredor en la zona de intercambio. “… Sigo adelante para llegar al final de la carrera y recibir el premio celestial para el cual Dios, a través de Cristo Jesús, nos está llamando…” (Filipenses 3:14 NTV). Sin embargo, en un relevo combinado SPRINT, algunos participantes, en el mismo equipo, pueden correr distancias o piernas más largas o más cortas antes de pasar el testigo. Independientemente de la distancia o tramo que recorra cada velocista, el testigo debe cambiarse en una zona predeterminada y pasar al siguiente corredor para que el equipo TERMINE la carrera, de acuerdo con las reglas. “… Aférrate a la palabra de vida; entonces, en el día del regreso de Cristo, estaré orgulloso de no haber corrido la carrera en vano y de que mi trabajo no fue inútil… ”(Filipenses 2:16 NTV). Un equipo es descalificado si el testigo se pierde, se deja caer, se deja o se cambia incorrectamente de un velocista a otro. El último velocista en la posición final se llama ANCLA y generalmente es el participante MÁS RÁPIDO, MEJOR o con más EXPERIENCIA del EQUIPO. “… ¿No sabéis que los que corren en una carrera todos corren, pero solo uno recibe el premio? Corre de tal manera que puedas ganar… ”(1 Corintios 9:24 NTV). Básicamente, el ANCLA tiene la responsabilidad de ponerse al día o recuperar el tiempo perdido o cualquier deficiencia de los otros miembros del EQUIPO LLEVÁNDOLOS a la LÍNEA DE META. “… He pelead
Donde vive el asombro: Prácticas para cultivar lo sagrado en la vida cotidiana
by Fabiana FondevilaNueve estaciones de un mapa imaginario que nos invitan a ir por donde nunca fuimos, a retomar donde dejamos, o simplemente a reavivar la alegría de estar aquí. Con prácticas de mindfulness y meditación, pautas para comprender el lenguaje de los pájaros, ejercicios para transformar lo que nos aqueja y una guía para elaborar ritos propios y ceremonias. Este libro propone un mapa imaginario de nueve estaciones. En cada una, nos esperan prácticas para explorar dimensiones esenciales de la vida. Todas nacen de la misma intuición: si el misterio existe, está presente en todas partes; si el amor es nuestra verdadera naturaleza, no tenemos que salir a buscarlo sino aprender a hacer silencio y dejarlo aflorar. El mapa del asombro nos invita a ir por donde nunca fuimos, a retomar donde dejamos, o simplemente a reavivar la alegría de estar aquí, compartiendo el recorrido. No hay un premio al final del camino; el premio es cada paso. Y en esto consiste: despabilar la mirada, despertar los oídos, respirar hondo, enloquecer de amor por el mundo pródigo y salvaje. Y, como piratas de buen corazón, devolver el tesoro en cuya búsqueda partimos. «Cuando comiences a leer este libro, prepárate para realizar un viaje diferente de cualquier otro viaje que hayas realizado. En este viaje no caminarás, ni montarás, ni volarás; bailarás.»Hermano David Steindl-Rast, Orden de San Benito
Done: How to Flourish After Leaving Religion (APA LifeTools Series)
by Daryl R. Van TongerenThis book draws from cutting-edge psychological research to provide advice for people who are undergoing religious change. Americans today are leaving religion in record numbers. For many, the faith, practices, and institutions that once provided comfort and guidance no longer fit their beliefs and values. This shift often comes with a price, however. While turning away from religion can bring about freedom, awe, and wonder, it can also engender a profound loss of meaning, purpose, community, and identity. It can threaten our relationships with friends and family. And it can pose a significant challenge to the mental health of even the most resilient among us. How can people who are no longer served by traditional religion find new meaning and purpose? How can they process the grief that often accompanies religious or spiritual change? And how can they address challenging interpersonal relationships with people who do not support or understand their religious change? In this book, psychologist Daryl Van Tongeren draws from psychological theories and research to examine the emotional and social processes involved with religious change and offers science-based guidance for building a new life—with or without religion. If you are rethinking your religious beliefs, have experienced religious loss or struggle, or have undergone a significant religious change, you are not alone. By understanding how people before us have left or transformed their religion, we can discover new ways of finding peace, experiencing meaning, and, if desired, engaging with the transcendent. Let their wisdom—and this book—be your guide.

Es el camino de toda una vida. Es el trabajo del alma.» Brené Brown, del prefacio.

Don't Be That Girl: A Guide to Finding the Confident, Rational Girl Within
by Travis L. StorkDon't worry. This is not that book. Travis Stork, the handsome and charismatic star of The Bachelor: Paris, has chalked up more dating experience than most men could claim in a lifetime. As an ER doctor, he's also an expert on the psychological and physiological factors involved in mental and emotional well-being. In Don't Be That Girl, he combines his personal experience and professional expertise to help you demystify the self-defeating behaviors that characterize that girl -- behaviors that unfortunately, even if unintentionally, prevent many women from getting the most from their lives and relationships. Don't Be That Girl cuts to the heart of what makes a woman cross into that girl territory and the red flags that tip guys off to the possibility that, yikes, they may be dating that girl. So who is that girl, exactly? She defies a simple definition. She may be the chameleon who turns into a completely different person the second a guy walks into the room. She could be the girl with the ironclad agenda that she's held to dearly since her first encounter with Modern Bride (and she'll do anything to make sure her plan materializes). Or she's the consummate "yes" girl who is always going along with his every wish. If she's not saying yes, she might very well be a drama queen who is always saying no because she can't seem to live without conflict. Then again, she might not be dramatic at all, just miserable inside, wearing her anger and bitterness as a badge of honor. In short, she's the girl who's trying fruitlessly to be someone she's not -- who's falling victim to the common pitfalls and patterns that lead to that girl behavior -- rather than believing in herself, following her passions, and maintaining healthy priorities. But Don't Be That Girl isn't all cautionary tales and bad news. Often, the same traits that make a woman that girl are the traits that, at their core, are her biggest strengths -- if she only knew how to refocus them. By drawing attention to and celebrating these positive attributes, Dr. Stork reveals how to cultivate and take advantage of them in ways that will lead you to the confidence and happiness that you deserve. Whether you are in a relationship, hopelessly searching, or somewhere in between, this book will arm you with practical insights so you will never again have to ask yourself, Is it me or is it him?
