Stress and Anxiety. Theory, practice and measurement
The selection of peer-reviewed chapters in this edition of Stress and Anxiety addresses three major areas of topical interest: Theory, practice and measurement. Authors ask ``What is the meaning of stress'' and offer a reconceptualization of the topic. They take us on a journey across decades of strategies we use to cope with stress. Recommendations for practice based on theory form a significant part of this edition. A focus on children and practice implications at home and in the school are presented. All papers presented in this volume are not only relevant to theory and understanding factors which influence behaviour but, most importantly, there are significant implications for practice and measurement.

The Meaning of Things
The meaning of things is a study of the significance of material possessions in contemporary urban life, and of the ways people carve meaning out of their domestic environment. Drawing on a survey of eighty families in Chicago who were interviewed on the subject of their feelings about common household objects, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Eugene Rochberg-Halton provide a unique perspective on materialism, American culture, and the self. They begin by reviewing what social scientists and philosophers have said about the transactions between people and things. In the model of 'personhood' that the authors develop, goal-directed action and the cultivation of meaning through signs assume central...
Whoever Makes the Most Mistakes Wins
Success in today's business economy demands nonstop innovation. But fancy buzzwords, facile lip service, and simplistic formulas are not the answer. Only an entirely new mindset -- a new attitude toward success and failure -- can transform managers' thinking, according to Richard Farson, author of the bestseller Management of the Absurd, and Ralph Keyes, author of the pathbreaking Chancing It: Why We Take Risks, in this provocative new work. According to Farson and Keyes, the key to this new attitude lies in taking risks. In a rapidly changing economy, managers will confront at least as much failure as success. Does that mean they'll have failed? Only by their grandfathers' definition of fai...
Creating More Love in Your Life! by the Author of the Art of Dying
"Falling in love is a form of transitory imbecility," wrote the Spanish philosopher, Ortega y Gasset, referring to the romantic love that so many of us endlessly seek. But there are many other ways of creating love in your life. You can begin with kindness toward strangers, build bonds of friendship and intimacy, trade solitude for loneliness, follow the steps toward commitment that I outline, and finally take those pathways that lead to wisdom. Nor do the various life losses and perversions, such as abuse, death and dying, illness, loss of a job, or terrorism overcome the opportunities for creating more love in your life; indeed, they help you build them by practicing the various exercises ...
Synchronicity
This book explores the connections between the Jungian concept of time-space relations and how today's business leaders can be aware of sychronistic situations to use them ethically in the workplace. It bridges the Jungian concepts of synchronicity with grounded business applications. It is written in a straightforward accessible style and includes examples from real life business situations. It explores synchronicity and explains how it can be recognized and used in business situations. This book takes the sayings ''timing is everything' and being "at the right place at the right time" and establishes that synchronistic events do occur in the lives of entrepreneurs and others with surprisingly regularity.
