| the genius formula tony buzan: The Other 90% Robert K. Cooper, 2010-02-10 For centuries, it has been assumed that there are vast limits to human capacity. Now, although a host of scientific discoveries prove this wrong, a mindset of limits persists, blocking us from our greatest possibilities and leaving us feeling bombarded by stress, change, and uncertainty. No matter how hard we work, no matter how much we give, we're still not getting what we hoped for. There is another way. Dr. Robert Cooper, a neuroscience pioneer and leadership advisor, urges us to take a radically different view of human capacity. We are mostly unused potential, he says, employing less than 10 percent of our brilliance or hidden talents. In easy-to-follow steps, he explains how to develop and apply the art and science of your hidden capacity. The art is the motivation and inspiration coming from the wonderful stories that are the heart of The Other 90%. Dr. Cooper draws on his wide-ranging insights and experiences to show how it's possible to make a difference in yourself and others. However, inspiration without a way to turn vision into reality is an empty vessel. Combining art with science, Dr. Cooper provides extraordinary help in the form of specific, little-known practical ways to use the latest research in neuroscience, performance psychology, and work physiology for excelling in a pressure-filled world. He shows you how to: * Increase energy at work -- and have more energy for personal and family life. * Activate the brain's alertness switches to defeat pressure and stress. * Use not only the brain in your head but the ones in your heart and gut. * Motivate exceptional ingenuity and performance in yourself and others. The most exciting breakthroughs will not come from advances in technology but from a deeper realization of what it means to be most human and alive. Many of the choices that can dramatically change our lives are simple and practical -- yet few people know what these choices are or how to apply them in work and life. The Other 90% is your guide to new territory and new challenges. |

| the genius formula tony buzan: Saint Patrick Retold Roy Flechner, 2019-03-05 A gripping biography that brings together the most recent research to shed provocative new light on the life of Saint Patrick Saint Patrick was, by his own admission, a controversial figure. Convicted in a trial by his elders in Britain and hounded by rumors that he settled in Ireland for financial gain, the man who was to become Ireland’s patron saint battled against great odds before succeeding as a missionary. Saint Patrick Retold draws on recent research to offer a fresh assessment of Patrick’s travails and achievements. This is the first biography in nearly fifty years to explore Patrick’s career against the background of historical events in late antique Britain and Ireland. Roy Flechner examines the likelihood that Patrick, like his father before him, might have absconded from a career as an imperial official responsible for taxation, preferring instead to migrate to Ireland with his family’s slaves, who were his source of wealth. Flechner leaves no stone unturned as he takes readers on a riveting journey through Romanized Britain and late Iron Age Ireland, and he considers how best to interpret the ambiguous literary and archaeological evidence from this period of great political and economic instability, a period that brought ruin for some and opportunity for others. Rather than a dismantling of Patrick’s reputation, or an argument against his sainthood, Flechner’s biography raises crucial questions about self-image and the making of a reputation. From boyhood deeds to the challenges of a missionary enterprise, Saint Patrick Retold steps beyond established narratives to reassess a notable figure’s life and legacy. |

| the genius formula tony buzan: How to Die Seneca, 2018-02-27 Timeless wisdom on death and dying from the celebrated Stoic philosopher Seneca It takes an entire lifetime to learn how to die, wrote the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC–65 AD). He counseled readers to study death always, and took his own advice, returning to the subject again and again in all his writings, yet he never treated it in a complete work. How to Die gathers in one volume, for the first time, Seneca's remarkable meditations on death and dying. Edited and translated by James S. Romm, How to Die reveals a provocative thinker and dazzling writer who speaks with a startling frankness about the need to accept death or even, under certain conditions, to seek it out. Seneca believed that life is only a journey toward death and that one must rehearse for death throughout life. Here, he tells us how to practice for death, how to die well, and how to understand the role of a good death in a good life. He stresses the universality of death, its importance as life's final rite of passage, and its ability to liberate us from pain, slavery, or political oppression. Featuring beautifully rendered new translations, How to Die also includes an enlightening introduction, notes, the original Latin texts, and an epilogue presenting Tacitus's description of Seneca's grim suicide. |

| the genius formula tony buzan: Configuring the Networked Self Julie E. Cohen, 2012-01-24 The legal and technical rules governing flows of information are out of balance, argues Julie E. Cohen in this original analysis of information law and policy. Flows of cultural and technical information are overly restricted, while flows of personal information often are not restricted at all. The author investigates the institutional forces shaping the emerging information society and the contradictions between those forces and the ways that people use information and information technologies in their everyday lives. She then proposes legal principles to ensure that people have ample room for cultural and material participation as well as greater control over the boundary conditions that govern flows of information to, from, and about them. |

| the genius formula tony buzan: Najważniejsza Książka Jaką Kiedykolwiek Przeczytasz: Zdrowie Andrzej Jęziorski, 2018-08-07 @Wersja-EN z 70-Str. protokolem [[#3.1+: https://web.facebook.com/The.Luciferian.Doctrine/posts/1851301424947726 Zastanawiałeś się czasem dlaczego kiedy odwiedzasz szpital bądź też przychodnie – są tam kolejki, które zdają się nigdy nie kończyć? W istocie wygląda to w ten sposób, że np. kiedy w chorobie wieńcowej (serca), która jest spowodowana nadmiernym odłożeniem się tłuszczu w żyłach i aortach – stosuje się różnego rodzaju rurki wszczepiane pacjentowi w żyły czy operacje ich przekierowania, tak aby omijały najbardziej stłuszczone obszary – słowem, wszystko to co obchodzi problem, jednak nie likwiduje jego głównej przyczyny, czyli usunięcia tłuszczu z żył. Jeśli jednak już wykorzystywane są jakiekolwiek leki, które są skuteczne to dotyczy to z reguły tylko kondycji, które mogą spowodować śmierć pacjenta, jak np. zapalenie płuc – jednak również wtedy wykorzystywane są środki, których działanie można tylko porównać do wsadzenia głowy do mikrofalówki – niezbyt rozsądne, a wręcz destrukcyjne dla zdrowia – z zasady im większe szkody dany środek spowoduje, tym lepiej. Podobnie jest niemal w każdej innej chorobie – nie usuwa się bezpośredniej przyczyny, nigdy – są natomiast wymyślane najróżniejsze metody i znieczulenia symptomów, kończąc na lekach psychotropowych, które niszczą pacjenta dożywotnio. Z jednej bardzo prostej przyczyny: lekarze nie leczą chorób, a jedynie sprzedają rozwiązania nieskuteczne, które zmuszają pacjenta pozbawionego wiedzy do ciągłego, repetywnego ich kupywania. Dzięki temu bogaci się każdy: lekarz, przychodnia, producenci farmaceutyków oraz firmy trzymające na nie patenty – tylko traci, ostatnia osoba w tym obiegu, czyli pacjent. Traci, bo jego dolegliwości nie są nigdy rozwiązane, co najwyżej znieczulone wraz z setką innych skutków ubocznych wywołanych produktami, które on przyjmuje. Nie wspominając już o często niebezpiecznych połączeniach substancji aktywnych, które nawarstwiają się w momencie gdy jeden lek ma za zadanie zniwelować skutki uboczne leku poprzedniego. Wiedzą o tym bardzo często pacjenci szpitali psychiatrycznych, bądź też tych, którzy już są na środkach psychotropowych nawet o tym nie wiedząc, gdyż “wszystko siedzi w głowie”. Leki sprzedawane w aptekach mają tak naprawdę za zadanie: nie pomóc, ale być ciągle w sprzedaży, a najlepiej i uzależnić pacjenta na całe życie, by nie mógł funkcjonować bez leku. Zrozumiesz to po przeczytaniu tej książki. / #zdrowie, #rak, #borelioza, #candida, #grzybica, #Nowotwór, #cukrzyca, #hiv, #aids, #Bezpłodność, #Choroba-wieńcowa, #Miażdzyca, #Cholesterol, #Nadciśnienie, #astma, #Otyłość, #Bezsenność, #impotencja |

| the genius formula tony buzan: The Cold War in the Classroom Barbara Christophe, Peter Gautschi, Robert Thorp, 2019-10-23 This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book explores how the socially disputed period of the Cold War is remembered in today’s history classroom. Applying a diverse set of methodological strategies, the authors map the dividing lines in and between memory cultures across the globe, paying special attention to the impact the crisis-driven age of our present has on images of the past. Authors analysing educational media point to ambivalence, vagueness and contradictions in textbook narratives understood to be echoes of societal and academic controversies. Others focus on teachers and the history classroom, showing how unresolved political issues create tensions in history education. They render visible how teachers struggle to handle these challenges by pretending that what they do is ‘just history’. The contributions to this book unveil how teachers, backgrounding the political inherent in all memory practices, often nourish the illusion that the history in which they are engaged is all about addressing the past with a reflexive and disciplined approach. |
| the genius formula tony buzan: One Jump Ahead Jonathan Schaeffer, 2013-03-09 Why did I write this book? I'm still not sure. After all, I'm a researcher, which means I think I know how to write technical papers. But writing for a n- technical audience is something I know nothing about. It took a lot of effort before I could force myself to sit down to write the first word. Once I did, however, it was hard not to stop! When I started this project, I didn't know that I had a lot to say and, in some sense, the results show this. The book is much longer than I even imagined it would be. Worse yet is that there is a lot of material that I decided not to include. It's a good thing that the publishers decided to limit how long the book could be! However, after much soul searching, I think I now know the reasons why I wrote this book. First and foremost, this book tells an interesting story. It's about the life of a checkers-playing computer program, Chinook, from its creation in 1989 to its retirement in 1996. In reality the story revolves around two people with different views of the program. As the creator of Chinook, I wanted to push the program to become the best player in the world, in much the same way that a father might encourage his son to excel at sports. |
| the genius formula tony buzan: Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory Julian Go, 2016-09-23 Social scientists have long resisted the radical ideas known as postcolonial thought, while postcolonial scholars have critiqued the social sciences for their Euro-centric focus. However, in Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory, Julian Go attempts to reconcile the two seemingly contradictory fields by crafting a postcolonial social science. Contrary to claims that social science is incompatible with postcolonial thought, this book argues that the two are mutually beneficial, drawing upon the works of thinkers such as Franz Fanon, Amilcar Cabral, Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, and Gayatri Spivak. Go concludes with a call for a third wave of postcolonial thought emerging from social science and surmounting the narrow confines of disciplinary boundaries. |
