Pragmata de Recursos Humanos

Autor: Francisco Javier Cantera Herrero

Número de Páginas: 217

¿Qué tiene que ver este libro con la psicología de la normalidad? Pues todo, pues las expresiones populares sirven para acercar nuestras descripciones psicológicas. No se trata de adornar nuestra ciencia con arropes discursivos, sino más bien de utilizar palabras normales para explicar conceptos sencillos. En el libro vamos a asociar un dicho popular a treinta conceptos de rabiosa actualidad en gestión de personas. Tras cada uno de las treinta expresiones y conceptos hay multitud de investigación científica de la psicología, pero queremos expresarla en términos normales y usuales. Sentido común, eclecticismo, heterodoxia, anglicismos enriquecedores mezclados en un libro que no pretende ser científico, pero de lo que rehúye es de que sirva de autoayuda. De la introducción de Javier Cantera Alguien tenía que ilustrar esta antología de Recursos Rumanos con el refranero aplicándolo a nuestro contexto, y esa persona, a mi juicio, tiene que ser alguien que, por una parte, tenga un buen conocimiento y una experiencia consolidada en ese ámbito, pero sienta, a la vez, una especial vinculación con las tradiciones y costumbres populares, hasta tal punto que configuren de...

Return to Mindfulness

Autor: Shalini Bahl

Número de Páginas: 224

Trying to Stay Mindful in a World Full of Disruptions? Mindfulness is our innate capacity to know what it means to be present, to see clearly, and to connect with ourselves and each other so that we can make fulfilling choices. The act of returning to mindfulness should be effortless, but persistent default habits can and do get in our way. Many people successfully practice mindfulness through meditation for stress reduction but once back into daily life, the same people quickly lose momentum. The brief moments of calm just don’t last or manifest themselves in changes at personal or collective levels. Shalini Bahl wants to change all that. The Missing Piece: Why "Non-Judging Awareness" Isn't Enough Mindfulness is commonly described as non-judging awareness, but when tough decisions arise, suspending judgment can confuse more than clarify. Dr. Bahl proposes that the way to be mindful in the real world beyond meditation and non-judging awareness is to foster eight mindfulness skills that disrupt habits that have been shaped by evolution and our environment. These default habits keep us rushing and reacting instead of seeing clearly and acting intentionally. A Systematic and...

Número de Páginas: 250

Happiness: as elusive as a working inkjet printer, and as slippery as an eel covered in baby oil. When we chase happiness, it runs away like a cat when you're trying to give it a bath, but the world of pop psychology is filled with competing advice that either claims it can help you catch it or warns you not to seek it out at all. Comedian Ariane Sherine is determined to help us find the true path to happiness, and public health expert David Conrad has the key: 50 well-selected research studies that show you exactly what to do to find happiness in your relationships, your friendships, your finances, your sex life and your career. Using wide-ranging evidence from around the world, Conrad and Sherine show us the true science behind what makes people happy and outline the simple, practical steps we can take to attain this too. This book has all the facts, stats and entertainment you could ever need to live a blissfully content life. And celebrities weigh in with their own versions of happiness too, so you'll find contributions from Derren Brown, Stewart Lee, Jeremy Vine, Rosie Holt, Femi Oluwole, Robin Ince, Sanjeev Kohli, Bec Hill, Arthur Smith and many more.

Pero ¿en qué consiste esta actividad que es ofrecida como el remedio para todos los males de este mundo?, ¿es realmente es eficaz para todo aquello para lo que se anuncia?, ¿cómo se practica?, ¿lo puede practicar todo el mundo? Este es el objetivo de...
