Artesao do Meu Futuro é um livro que alia conhecimentos filosóficos, científicos e religiosos para promover a reflexão em torno do entendimento que o homem pode fazer de si e de suas relações com o mundo, para construir uma proposta de administração do próprio cotidiano. Na obra, o autor Paulo Henrique Rathunde afirma ser possível melhorar continuamente as condições de vida e resgatar a harmonia em nosso Planeta ao se levar em conta o potencial transformador que temos - característica da natureza humana. Propõe, ainda, que cada um seja responsável pela construção do próprio futuro. Com base numa visão ampla, como a de um artesão que demonstra em ato todo o processo de sua criação, os resultados serão coerentes com uma ética focada na vida. O livro, escrito em forma de romance, relata em linguagem tocante a experiência de seis alunos na imaginária Escola Travessia. Entre as aulas, em que são discutidos conceitos de várias áreas do conhecimento, eles dialogam sob a perspectiva de observar a sua trajetória, transcendendo-a e desenvolvendo possibilidades de vida mais criativa e transformadora.
Peregrino é resultado de reflexões de alguém que se reconhece em uma caminhada sem começo nem fim, apenas em movimento, somente em evolução. Em algum momento do percurso brota forte a inadequação em relação ao que sempre foi. Quando o ser se percebe um Eu Governado por Outros, vem a ânsia de se descobrir verdadeiro, de alcançar a própria essência. Inicia aí uma profunda desconstrução de tudo o que fazia sentido e não mais o faz, de tudo o que valia a pena e se tornou supérfluo, de tudo o que era vida e se tornou morte. Peregrino é um paradoxo. Para vê-lo, é necessário um novo olhar.
As I begin to write this Preface, I feel a rush of excitement. I have now finished the book; my gestalt is coming into completion. Throughout the months that I have been writing this, I have, indeed, been intrinsically motivated. Now that it is finished I feel quite competent and self-determining (see Chapter 2). Whether or not those who read the book will perceive me that way is also a concern of mine (an extrinsic one), but it is a wholly separate issue from the intrinsic rewards I have been experiencing. This book presents a theoretical perspective. It reviews an enormous amount of research which establishes unequivocally that intrinsic motivation exists. Also considered herein are variou...

Problems are a central part of human life. The Psychology of Problem Solving organizes in one volume much of what psychologists know about problem solving and the factors that contribute to its success or failure. There are chapters by leading experts in this field, including Miriam Bassok, Randall Engle, Anders Ericsson, Arthur Graesser, Keith Stanovich, Norbert Schwarz, and Barry Zimmerman, among others. The Psychology of Problem Solving is divided into four parts. Following an introduction that reviews the nature of problems and the history and methods of the field, Part II focuses on individual differences in, and the influence of, the abilities and skills that humans bring to problem situations. Part III examines motivational and emotional states and cognitive strategies that influence problem solving performance, while Part IV summarizes and integrates the various views of problem solving proposed in the preceding chapters.
Written for psychologists, educational psychologists and developmental biologists, this volume explores the concept of giftedness, including its definition, origins and development. The author offers a balanced view of the topic and presents optimal educational strategies for various kinds of high ability. The effects of both environmental and biological/genetic factors on a student's level of giftedness are also discussed, as is the question of whether gifted people can be created.
The central argument of this book is that cognition is not the whole story in understanding intellectual functioning and development. To account for inter-individual, intra-individual, and developmental variability in actual intellectual performance, it is necessary to treat cognition, emotion, and motivation as inextricably related. Motivation, Emotion, and Cognition: Integrative Perspectives on Intellectual Functioning and Development: *represents a new direction in theory and research on intellectual functioning and development; *portrays human intelligence as fundamentally constrained by biology and adaptive needs but modulated by social and cultural forces; and *encompasses and integrat...
Within events management, events are commonly categorised within two axes, size and content. Along the size axis events range between the small scale and local, through major events, which garner greater media interest, to internationally significant hallmark and mega events such as the Edinburgh Festival and the Tour de France. Content is frequently divided into three forms – culture, sport or business. However, such frameworks overlook and depoliticise a significant variety of events, those more accurately construed as protest. This book brings together new research and theories from around the world and across sociology, leisure studies, politics and cultural studies to develop a new cr...
