Overwhelmed
______________________ 'Too much to do? Stop and read this' - Guardian 'For a fresh take on an eternal dilemma, Overwhelmed is worth a few hours of any busy woman's life – if only to ensure that she doesn't drop off the bottom of her own “To Do” list' - Mail on Sunday ______________________ In her attempts to juggle work and family life, Brigid Schulte has baked cakes until 2 a.m., frantically (but surreptitiously) sent important emails during school trips and then worked long into the night after her children were in bed. Realising she had become someone who constantly burst in late, trailing shoes and schoolbooks and biscuit crumbs, she began to question, like so many of us, whether ...
Can't Even
An incendiary examination of burnout in millennials--the cultural shifts that got us here, the pressures that sustain it, and the need for drastic change
No puedo más
Un análisis incendiario del agotamiento en los millennials, los cambios socioculturales que lo provocan, las presiones que lo sustentan y la necesidad urgente de un cambio drástico. ¿Tu vida es una lista interminable de tareas pendientes? ¿Te encuentras navegando sin pensar por Instagram porque estás demasiado cansado para leer un libro? Bienvenidos a la cultura del agotamiento. La escritora de cultura y exacadémica Anne Helen Petersen sostiene que el agotamiento es una característica definitoria de la generación millennial, que nace de la desconfianza en las instituciones que nos han fallado, las expectativas poco realistas del trabajo moderno y un fuerte repunte de ansiedad y desesperanza exacerbados por la presión constante de «desempeñar» nuestras vidas en las redes. Basado en un artículo viral de Petersen en BuzzFeed, que ha acumulado más de siete millones de lecturas desde su publicación, No puedo más examina cómo el agotamiento afecta a la forma en que trabajamos, criamos y socializamos.

1946: The Making of the Modern World
With the end of the Second World War, a new world was born. The peace agreements that brought the conflict to an end implemented decisions that not only shaped the second half of the twentieth century, but continue to affect our world today and impact on its future. In 1946 the Cold War began, the state of Israel was conceived, the independence of India was all but confirmed and Chinese Communists gained a decisive upper hand in their fight for power. It was a pivotal year in modern history in which countries were reborn and created, national and ideological boundaries were redrawn and people across the globe began to rebuild their lives. In this remarkable history, the foreign correspondent...

#ZigZagHR
The "future of work" is no longer a buzzword. It is abundantly clear the way we (will) work is changing and will continue to change. #ZigZagHR offers an original, performing and sustainable framework to explore what is expected (and needed) from HR today and tomorrow. #ZigZagHR is not a plea for tabula rasa. Besides, that is also impossible for most companies. #ZigZagHR wants to paint a picture to organizations, employers and, most importantly HR, that communicates traditional HR is no longer sufficient and must evolve with an extra dimension to become what we describe as "progressive HR." The authors propose a #ZigZagHR-Model where they connect different ideas and insights around workers, careers, competencies, and HR operations. With their vision and model the authors hope to develop a (global) #ZigZagHR-Ecosystems: a dynamic and heterogenous community of progressive HR practitioners and non-HR professionals who across the borders of their own company and countries develop and share innovative people solutions. The authors base their vision and practical applications on their experience in different continents.
Pacific Presences
Hundreds of thousands of works of art and artefacts from many parts of the Pacific are dispersed across European museums. They range from seemingly quotidian things such as fish-hooks and baskets to great sculptures of divinities, architectural forms and canoes. These collections constitute a remarkable resource for understanding history and society across Oceania, cross-cultural encounters since the voyages of Captain Cook, and the colonial transformations that have taken place since. They are also collections of profound importance for Islanders today, who have varied responses to their disp.
