Shared Representations
A collection of cutting-edge contributions on the idea of shared representations - information sharing between the brains of those involved.
Sense of Agency: Examining Awareness of the Acting Self
The sense of agency is defined as the sense of oneself as the agent of one's own actions. This also allows oneself to feel distinct from others, and contributes to the subjective phenomenon of self-consciousness (Gallagher, 2000). Distinguishing oneself from others is arguably one of the most important functions of the human brain. Even minor impairments in this ability profoundly affect the individual’s functioning in society as demonstrated by psychiatric and neurological syndromes involving agency disturbances (Della Sala et al., 1991; Franck et al., 2001; Frith, 2005; Sirigu et al., 1999). But the sense of agency also plays a role for cultural and religious phenomena such as voodoo, su...

Corporate Emotional Intelligence
Corporate Emotional Intelligence is a seminal work for business in the 21st century. It analyses how human behaviour is conditioned within corporate cultures, and how managers come to adopt unconscious controlling habits that are counter-productive and that create cultures of fear. The book introduces us to the Corporapath and the Corporate Hostage and to the unique anxiety disorder CTSD - Corporate Traumatic Stress Disorder, yielding a profound new level of self awareness for all corporate citizens. Success in business now requires a different kind of human intelligence: IQ + EQ is no longer sufficient. We now need CEQ - the ability to read, understand and manage the psychological states and behaviours that are unique to corporate cultures.
Learn to lead yourself, your people and your organization for great results
Putting people first has always been the basis of our success. We believe that if we take care of our employees, they will take care of our customers and the business will take care of itself. Even after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, where we went from an occupancy rate of 75 to 5% overnight – where our hotels were empty of guests but full of staff – putting people first was the our priority. Instead of suffering massive layoffs, we implemented education programs, maintained health benefits, and did everything we could to get through the crisis with minimal negative impact on our people. In a business like ours, and I believe in any other sector, we simply cannot be successful ...
In Your Power
Be Powerful in a World that Can Make You Feel Powerless Whether dealing with an underperforming team member, an undervaluing boss, an undermining colleague, a difficult family member or partner, or the overwhelm of too much to do, we can find ourselves feeling “out of our power.” In this state of feeling ‘done to,’ emotionally hijacked, or in a mental swirl, the typical things we do to try to make it better often make it worse. Based on her research at Harvard Medical School and twenty years as a business psychologist, Dr. Sharon Melnick, a Marshall Goldsmith Top 100 Coach, shows you how to get back “in your power,” where you see how much you can control to show up as your best s...
Civilized to Death
The New York Times bestselling coauthor of Sex at Dawn explores the ways in which “progress” has perverted the way we live: how we eat, learn, feel, mate, parent, communicate, work, and die. Most of us have instinctive evidence the world is ending—balmy December days, face-to-face conversation replaced with heads-to-screens zomboidism, a world at constant war, a political system in disarray. We hear some myths and lies so frequently that they feel like truths: Civilization is humankind’s greatest accomplishment. Progress is undeniable. Count your blessings. You’re lucky to be alive here and now. Well, maybe we are and maybe we aren’t. Civilized to Death counters the idea that pro...
Stories and the Brain
Taking up the age-old question of what our ability to tell stories reveals about language and the mind, this truly interdisciplinary project should be of interest to humanists and cognitive scientists alike.
Reconstructing Inclusion
Organizational appetites for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) have never been more acute. But how can these new efforts, which often call on old strategies, now result in better outcomes? This book deconstructs and rebuilds the fundamental concepts of inclusion to reclaim their transformative potential for DE&I practitioners and the organizations they work with. Organizations of all types are making unprecedented investments in unconscious bias training, diversity recruitment, and anti-racism education. Words like belonging and equity are on the list of aspirational outcomes for these efforts, but the pathways to those goals are unclear because their implementation has been reactionar...

With the right motivation and knowledge, you can be a leader who knows what it takes to succeed.

By strengthening their leadership capabilities, they could become trusted leaders within their organization, impro...
