Apresentação dos objetivos do livro e da proposta de oferecer uma perspectiva alternativa ao "O Poder do Hábito." Seja bem-vindo ao livro "Desvendando os Hábitos: Uma Abordagem Alternativa ao Livro O Poder do Hábito". Neste trabalho, embarcaremos em uma jornada de exploração e questionamento das teorias tradicionais sobre hábitos, apresentando uma perspectiva alternativa àquela proposta pelo autor Charles Duhigg em seu aclamado livro. Desde a publicação de "O Poder do Hábito", muitos leitores têm sido inspirados pelas ideias de Duhigg sobre como os hábitos moldam nossa vida e como podemos transformá-los para alcançar o sucesso e a felicidade. No entanto, enquanto reconhecemos o mérito de suas contribuições, também acreditamos que é fundamental questionar e aprofundar a compreensão dos mecanismos complexos que regem nossos comportamentos automáticos. Nossa abordagem não pretende simplesmente contestar o trabalho de Duhigg por contestar. Pelo contrário, buscamos expandir o conhecimento sobre o tema dos hábitos e proporcionar aos leitores uma visão mais completa e refinada sobre como eles se formam, como são mantidos e como podem ser modificados. Nosso objetivo é ir além da ideia simplista de que todos os hábitos seguem um padrão de gatilho-rotina-recompensa, destacando que os hábitos são muito mais complexos do que essa fórmula. Investigaremos a influência do contexto social e cultural na formação de hábitos, bem como a importância do autoconhecimento para a mudança de comportamentos arraigados. Enquanto mergulhamos nessa jornada, buscaremos apoio em pesquisas recentes sobre neurociência, psicologia comportamental e outras disciplinas relevantes. Estaremos em busca de uma compreensão mais profunda das conexões cerebrais que sustentam os hábitos, além de identificar estratégias eficazes para a adoção e manutenção de hábitos positivos. Ao longo dos próximos capítulos, convidamos você a refletir conosco e questionar as premissas estabelecidas, sem receio de explorar novos horizontes. Nossa intenção é oferecer uma abordagem complementar, em vez de competitiva, em relação ao trabalho de Duhigg, fornecendo aos leitores uma visão abrangente e fundamentada sobre os hábitos que regem nossas vidas. Esperamos que, ao final desta jornada, você se sinta capacitado a entender melhor a mecânica dos hábitos e a fazer escolhas conscientes que o conduzam a uma vida mais saudável, produtiva e satisfatória. Acompanhe-nos na descoberta das nuances e dos segredos por trás dos hábitos, e juntos desvendaremos o poder que eles realmente exercem em nossas vidas.

It is clear that international law is not yet equipped to handle the “ecological goods and services” that exist simultaneously within and outside of all states. The global commons have always been understood as geographical spaces that exist only outside the political borders of states. A vital good such as a stable climate exists both within and outside all states, and shows traditional legal approaches to be ecological nonsense. With the recent possibility of measuring and monitoring the state and functioning of the Earth System through the Planetary Boundaries framework, it is now possible to define a “Safe Operating Space of Humankind” corresponding to a biogeophysical state of Earth. In this sense, the Common Home of Humanity is not a planet with 510 million square kilometres, but is a specific favourable state of the Earth System. Recent major scientific advances anticipate a legal paradigm shift that could overcome the disconnection between ecological realities and existing legal frameworks. If we recognize this qualitative and non-geographic space as a Common Natural Intangible Heritage of Humankind, all positive and negative “externalities” end up being included within a new maintenance system of the Common Home.

Offers information on the evolution of multi literacies and the state of literacy theory in relation to it. This book discusses the aims of multi literacies movement in 1996.

The growing interest in management knowledge has generated an enormous literature and brought great success for a number of management gurus. This book is a timely and radical critique of the quick-fix solutions offered by popular management books. Features include: *Detailed criticism of the ideological hegemony of North American managerial discourse *An interrogation of books by leading populist management gurus such as Tom Peters, Richard Normann and Robert Waterman *An institutional approach to the creation, diffusion and consumption of management knowledge *The implications for organisations of acting on popular managerial discourse Popular Management Books is a much needed corrective to the under-researched truisms of many management books.

50,000 copies sold, now in paperback... If you can think impossible thoughts, then you can do impossible things!! The power of change: create new thinking for new solutions! Includes a new introduction demonstrating the "power of impossible thinking," plus access to exclusive book summary and authors' interview at the book's companion Web site. The Power of Impossible Thinking is about getting better at making sense of what's going on around you so you can make decisions that respond to reality, not inaccurate or obsolete models of the world. This bestseller reveals how mental models stand between you and the truth and how to transform them into your biggest advantage! Learn how to develop new ways of seeing, when to change to a new model, how to swap amongst a portfolio of models, how to understand complex environments and how to do "mind R and D," improving models through constant experimentation. Jerry Wind and Colin Crook review why it's so hard to change mental models and offer practical strategies for dismantling "hardened missile silos". Finally they show how to access models quickly through intuition, and assess the effectiveness of any mental model. Purchasers of this book gain access to audio summaries on a companion web site, along with a new half-hour interview with the authors.

The 'epi-(Greek for 'over', 'above')genome', with its rich cache of highly regulated, structural modifications—including DNA methylation, histone modifications and histone variants—defines the moldings and three-dimensional structures of the genomic material inside the cell nucleus and serves, literally, as a molecular bridge linking the environment to the genetic materials in our brain cells. Due to technological and scientific advances in the field, the field of neuroepigenetics is currently one of the hottest topics in the basic and clinical neurosciences. The volume captures some of this vibrant and exciting new research, and conveys to the reader an up-to-date discussion on the role of epigenetics across the lifespan of the human brain in health and disease. - Topics cover the entire lifespan of the brain, from transgenerational epigenetics to neurodevelopmental disease to disorders of the aging brain. - All chapters are written with dual intent, to provide the reader with a timely update on the field, and a discussion of provocative or controversial findings in the field with the potential of great impact for future developments in the field.
