Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the sexcapades of Bill Clinton to the unbelievable story of Hugh Grant and the prostitute; from the 15-year-old who weighs only 82 pounds but believes she's obese, to the professor who screams profanities at other drivers in snarled traffic--we wonder out loud, "What are they thinking?!" What drives so many apparently normal, intelligent people to act irrationally, harming themselves and others? According to Sigmund Freud, such behavior may be caused by the "id," our built-in mental invitation to everything from dangerous fun to horrendous acts of irrationality. For popular psychology writer David Weiner, "id" stands for "Inner Dummy," the part of the brain that we must come to understand if we are ever to know why we do foolish, irrational, and compulsive things. Drawing on the groundbreaking theories of evolutionary psychology, Battling the Inner Dummy localizes the source of our irrationality in the limbic id-the most primitive part of our brain that endlessly thirsts for status, sex, territory, nurturance, and survival. "We become captured by these drives," Weiner says. "By understanding our Inner Dummy, we can avoid disasters in our own lives." Along with sound advice from clinical psychiatrist Dr. Gilbert Hefter on how to handle our own Inner Dummies with built-in rewards and punishments, Weiner brilliantly interweaves delightful, imagined conversations with Freud and staffers at a mythical advertising agency, who have been given the assignment of communicating the nature of the id's irrationalities to the general public (e.g., t-shirts that say, "Would someone please fix my Inner Dummy before I fall in love with another idiot?" and a bathroom scale that allows you to weigh eight pounds less each time you use it). This inviting, humorous romp with Inner Dummies who have made the news illustrates how we can apply "ID prevention" in our daily lives and includes all the major strategies science and medicine have developed over the years to counter Inner Dummies that threaten our well-being.

Book excerpt: Integrating diverse psychoanalytic traditions with his own theoretical and clinical insights, Salman Akhtar provides answers to these and other important questions in this realm. He weaves the existing conceptual schisms and technical diversity into an integrated theory and technique. In a truly original contribution, he delineates certain ubiquitous human fantasies (e.g., "someday" and "if only" fantasies of optimism and nostalgia, and fantasies of powerful psychic tethers that bind us to others) and shows how their pathological variants underlie the suffering of these patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Lessac’s Embodied Actor Training situates the work of renowned voice and movement trainer Arthur Lessac in the context of contemporary actor training. Supported by the work of Constantin Stanislavsky and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's theories of embodiment, the book explores Lessac's practice in terms of embodied acting, a key subject in contemporary performance. In doing so, the author explains how the actor can come to experience both skill and expression as a subjective whole through active meditation and spatial attunement. As well as feeding this psychophysical approach into a wider discussion of embodiment, the book provides concrete examples of how the practice can be put into effect. Using insights gleaned from interviews conducted with Lessac and his Master Teachers, the author enlightens our own understanding of Lessac’s practices. Three valuable appendices enhance the reader’s experience. These include: a biographical timeline of Lessac’s life and career sample curricula and a lesson plan for teachers at university level explorations for personal discovery Melissa Hurt is a Lessac Certified Trainer and has taught acting and Lessac’s voice, speech, and movement work at colleges across the United States. She has a PhD from the University of Oregon and an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership is fundamentally different from management, but traditional leadership skills were based on an ill-fitting, management-oriented model. When leadership is recognized as a discrete professional specialty, new techniques and methods are needed to operationalize the new values-based theories. In addition to distinguishing leadership from management, this book distinguishes inner leadership, practiced by those in the middle ranks, from leadership as practiced by the CEO. Inner leadership is an applied complex of specialized knowledge, theory, skills, attitudes, and attributes used to make things happen in the lives and behavior of other community members. The leader's goal is to cause followers to accept the leader's values—e.g., his or her standards of what are acceptable goals, behavior, and overall conduct—as their own. It is an intimate, personal, life-transforming task that resolves itself into a set of discrete techniques—sets of attitudes, actions, and intentions—that distinguish leaders from managers or other corporate workers. The special focus of the 21 leadership techniques presented here is on those unique methods of group interaction that characterize leadership activities in the middle of the corporation. These techniques represent a substantial body of inner leadership practice that differentiates leadership from all other group roles and functions.

Book excerpt: This book is about the family of the mindthe conscious (mother and revealed), subconscious (child and magical), and superconscious (Universal Master Mind)and the relative symbols and signs in Hindu mythology. The author calls upon ancient Persian epic poetry, and a correlation between Persian, Armenian cultural Heroes and a Hindu Mythology. And there is even some touch of Native American belief. Readers will learn about the individual souls journey, how it relates to the eternal spirit, and how there is a drop of that eternal spirit within each of us. The reader will also learn about the importance of kundalini energy, a primordial energy recognized by yogis since ever, and its physical and emotional role in healing, as an extension to our mind family. And the yogic Treasure Island, the astral and light body map recalled with its original Sanskrit terminology for a full energetic benefit. But the starthe protagonistof this book, and of our personal journey, and evolution, is our inner tender child. As we have grown up, we have disconnected from this main source of joy and love, and have forgotten and wounded this important part of our being. Therefore, we are being hurt! Only when we acknowledge, remember, embrace, come home to, and heal our inner children from the inside out, our powerful cosmic children (Inner Cherub & Cupids) will write a new destiny full of happiness so we may live with peace and joy and spread the light all around. We can be the cocreators of our happily ever after tale.

Book excerpt: Drawn from his experience as the executive dean of Wilner Sales and Leadership Institute, Leon Cai shares his proven philosophy and methods for improving leadership skills among middle and high-level managers. Leon is one the top ten most influential trainers in China winning “Honor China Award” and is a leading figure in China’s training and consulting industry. Gear-Shifting Leadership, now in its Second Edition, is a book designed to improve leadership ability of practicing managers and addresses the full spectrum or panorama of what is expected from successful leaders. Managers need to grasp more than just one or two aspects of leadership, but the whole content and complete framework of it. Gear-Shifting Leadership, Second Edition provides the concepts, tools, and examples needed for managers to become effective leaders. Updated with new examples and tools, this second edition of Gear-Shifting Leadership synthesizes dozens of leadership models, and fully displays "the panorama of leadership." The author demonstrates the panorama by showing the links and connections between different parts of leadership. The book displays the four gears and nineteen components of leadership managers need to develop. The four gears are: Followership, Face-to-face Leadership, In-Direct Leadership, and Organizational Executive Leadership. • Followership refers to the ability of leaders to win the trust from subordinates, superiors, and counterparts through demonstrative self-management. • Face-to-face Leadership demonstrates the leaders’ ability to drive, encourage, instruct, manage, control, and develop direct subordinates and core teams. It exhibits leaders’ one-on-one leadership abilities targeted at their direct subordinates. • Indirect Leadership shows the leaders’ influence and driving power towards indirect subordinates and the whole team, and it can be defined as the leaders’ role in managing the team as a whole. • Organizational Executive Leadership shows leaders’ acute insight of the dynamic changes in their organizations, and the leaders’ ability to optimize their own approach to managing the team and in so doing, adapt to changes in both the internal and external environment of organizations. The book walks readers through each gear as well as the several components it comprises. Many leadership books have excellent concepts and ways of thinking, but lack practical sheets, models and tools, so that books of this type can only improve leaders themselves and can’t be widely used in their organizations. Gear-Shifting Leadership illustrates the model, tables, evaluation questionnaires, and simplified tools that will make the material in this book practical and applicable.
