360 Degrees of Wisdom
Showing readers how to consult the Sabian Oracle, astrologer Lynda Hill has created a modern, accessible way to chart the inner psyche using the 360 Sabian Symbols that originated in the Middle East in the 13th century. Includes 42 cards to consult the Oracle.
The Sabian Symbols
The Sabian symbols are the unique set of symbolic vignettes, or descriptive images, which were obtained by Dr. Marc Edmund Jones from an ancient Mesopotamian source in 1925 for each of the 360 astrological degrees of the zodiac. This groundbreaking and user-friendly book, illustrated for the first time anywhere with the original hand-pencilled notes of Dr. Jones, is the culmination of over 25 years of thee author's saturation in his philosophy and work. It is by far the most comprehensive interpretation of the Sabian symbol images to date. In addition to the original descriptive images and keywords, this volume contains expanded commentaries, and chapters containing a variety of innovative techniques for using the Sabian symbols. Each of the symbols also includes a theme word or phrase, a special section for practical "Daily Guidance," and a virtual treasure chest of additional keywords to help the reader easily and clearly understand the meaning of each symbol.
Collective Genius
Named one of "10 Management Classics for 2022" by Thinkers50 Why can some organizations innovate time and again, while most cannot? You might think the key to innovation is attracting exceptional creative talent. Or making the right investments. Or breaking down organizational silos. All of these things may help—but there’s only one way to ensure sustained innovation: you need to lead it—and with a special kind of leadership. Collective Genius shows you how. Preeminent leadership scholar Linda Hill, along with former Pixar tech wizard Greg Brandeau, MIT researcher Emily Truelove, and Being the Boss coauthor Kent Lineback, found among leaders a widely shared, and mistaken, assumption: t...
Being the Boss
You never dreamed being the boss would be so hard. You're caught in a web of conflicting expectations from subordinates, your supervisor, peers, and customers. You're not alone. As Linda Hill and Kent Lineback reveal in Being the Boss, becoming an effective manager is a painful, difficult journey. It's trial and error, endless effort, and slowly acquired personal insight. Many managers never complete the journey. At best, they just learn to get by. At worst, they become terrible bosses. This new book explains how to avoid that fate, by mastering three imperatives: · Manage yourself: Learn that management isn't about getting things done yourself. It's about accomplishing things through others. · Manage a network: Understand how power and influence work in your organization and build a network of mutually beneficial relationships to navigate your company's complex political environment. · Manage a team: Forge a high-performing "we" out of all the "I"s who report to you. Packed with compelling stories and practical guidance, Being the Boss is an indispensable guide for not only first-time managers but all managers seeking to master the most daunting challenges of leadership.
Social Rituals and the Verbal Art of Zora Neale
In Social Rituals and the Verbal Art of Zora Neale Hurston, Dr. Hill examines Hurston's concept of "everyday-life drama" as a basis for understanding distinctive features of African-American folk expression. Readers familiar with Hurston's work will enjoy the unique way in which Dr. Hill analyzes Hurston's folklore as part of a process rather than simply as texts severed from their field-research context. Dr. Hill's use of performance as an analytical model that crosses disciplines - including folklore, anthropology, literature, theater, African-American studies, and women's studies - provides a unique window on Hurston's life and work.
