 THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: OVER 25 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now. People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.

Neuroaesthetics - Can Science Explain Art?

by Marco Pina, Olga Pombo e Silvia Di Marco

~~22,00€~~ 15,40€ 30% OFF

free shipping

 Por que razão criam os homens obras de arte? Por que razão a beleza nos comove? A Neuroestética é uma área de investigação recente que tenta responder a estas questões, a partir do quadro teórico da Neurologia. Ela explora as bases neurofisiológicas e evolutivas da experiência estética, no que diz respeito à produção e fruição das obras de arte e da beleza. Nesse sentido, oferece um lugar de encontro privilegiado e peculiar entre a Ciência e a Arte. Geralmente acusada de reducionismo, a Neuroestética é um campo de investigação controverso que desafia a nossa concepção de Arte enquanto uma das formas mais sublimes da criatividade humana. Este livro oferece uma introdução crítica à Neuroestética e pretende contribuir para o debate actual sobre o valor filosófico e epistemológico desta disciplina e sobre a sua relevância para a compreensão da experiência estética. Nele se incluem três artigos fundadores, escritos por eminentes neurocientistas, e cinco trabalhos originais que foram apresentados num workshop internacional sobre Neuroestética, organizado, em Março de 2009, pelo Centro de Filosofia das Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa.

The Fearless Organization - Creating Psychological Safety In The Workplace For Learning, Innovation, And Growth

by Amy C. Edmondson

~~32,45€~~ 22,72€ 30% OFF

free shipping

 Conquer the most essential adaptation to the knowledge economy The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent-but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of "fitting in" and "going along" spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule or intimidate. Not every idea is good, and yes there are stupid questions, and yes dissent can slow things down, but talking through these things is an essential part of the creative process. People must be allowed to voice half-finished thoughts, ask questions from left field, and brainstorm out loud; it creates a culture in which a minor flub or momentary lapse is no big deal, and where actual mistakes are owned and corrected, and where the next left-field idea could be the next big thing. This book explores this culture of psychological safety, and provides a blueprint for bringing it to life. The road is sometimes bumpy, but succinct and informative scenario-based explanations provide a clear path forward to constant learning and healthy innovation. Explore the link between psychological safety and high performanceCreate a culture where it's "safe" to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakesNurture the level of engagement and candor required in today's knowledge economyFollow a step-by-step framework for establishing psychological safety in your team or organization Shed the "yes-men" approach and step into real performance. Fertilize creativity, clarify goals, achieve accountability, redefine leadership, and much more. The Fearless Organization helps you bring about this most critical transformation.

The Power Of Habit - Why We Do What We Do, And How To Change

by Charles Duhigg

~~15,50€~~ 10,85€ 30% OFF

 In "The Power of Habit", award-winning "New York Times" business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death. At its core, "The Power of Habit" contains an exhilarating argument: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
