Existenciálny manažment 2


Existenciálny manažment 2: Ontologická architektúra organizácie, zmysel organizácie a jednota rozhodovania v čase je odborným pokračovaním knihy Existenciálny manažment: Ako prežiť a zvíťaziť v chaose dnešného sveta. Rastislav Silný v tejto publikácii systematicky rozvíja teoretické jadro Existenciálneho manažmentu. Skúma organizáciu nie iba ako právnu formu, ekonomický výkon, štruktúru alebo súbor procesov, ale ako jednotu rozhodovania, ktorej identita, kontinuita a stabilita závisia od zmyslu organizácie reprodukovaného v čase. Kniha vysvetľuje, čo organizáciu skutočne drží pohromade, prečo sa jej vnútorná jednota môže oslabovať aj pri zachovanom výkone, ako vzniká entropický drift, akú úlohu má integračná sila a prečo rozhodovanie nemožno chápať iba ako manažérsku techniku. Je určená podnikateľom, vlastníkom, lídrom, manažérom, vedcom, konzultantom a čitateľom, ktorí chcú porozumieť hlbším podmienkam stability organizácií v čase neistoty. Neponúka rýchly návod, ale presnejší spôsob videnia organizácie. #existencialnymanazment, #manazment, #podnikanie, #biznis, #zmyselfirmy, , #vedeniefirmy, #leadership, #rozhodovanie, #strategia, #zmyselfirmy, #zmyselorganizacie, #organizacia, #firma, #identitaorganizacie, #stabilitaorganizacie, #kriza, #neistota, #riziko, #antifragilita, #dlhodobost, #kolapsfirmy

9 szeretetnyelv


Gary Chapman párkapcsolati szakértő bestsellerében, Az 5 szeretetnyelvben arra biztat, hogy ha rálelünk a saját és a partnerünk szeretetnyelvére, akkor könnyebben kommunikálunk majd, és mélyebben megértjük a másikat. A megjelenése óta eltelt évtizedekben azonban átalakultak a randizás, az ismerkedés szokásai, a kapcsolatok formái és dinamikái. Ebben a könyvben Alise Morales írónő újragondolja az öt szeretetnyelv – elismerő szavak, minőségi idő, ajándékozás, szívességek és testi érintés – fogalmát, és kibővíti négy továbbival: a határok tiszteletben tartása, az érzelmi biztonság, az egészséges vita, valamint a közös célok és élmények. Könnyed, szórakoztató stílusban és rengeteg gyakorlati élethelyzetet és példát felsorakoztatva mutatja meg, miként használhatjuk a szeretetnyelveket a digitális korban gördülékenyebb és rugalmasabb kommunikációs módszerként. A különféle kapcsolatokra fókuszáló feleletválasztós kvízek pedig abban segítenek, hogy felfedezzük, miként tudjuk a számunkra legjobb módon adni és fogadni a szeretetet.

Tretia syntéza


Žijeme v dobe, ktorá verí vo vedu a v techniku viac než v Boha – a predsa sa ocitáme v kríze hodnôt, identity aj samotného zmyslu pokroku. Tretia syntéza prináša odvážny a provokatívny filozofický pohľad na konzum¬nú spoločnosť, kyborgizáciu človeka, ekologickú krízu a duchovný úpadok modernity. Autor v knihe ponúka originálnu tézu: nie človek ovláda prírodu, ale príroda – vrátane prirodzenosti nášho tela – teleologicky riadi technický vývoj a vedie ľudstvo k vyššej duchovnej transformácii. V dialógu s myslením Rudolfa Steinera, Emila Páleša, Karla Marxa či kritikov transhumanizmu autor rozvíja „nový kresťanský príbeh pokroku“, v ktorom sa technika nestáva náhradou človeka, ale paradoxne nástrojom jeho duchovného dozrievania. Konzumná spoločnosť tak nie je iba dekadentným úpadkom, ale zároveň matricou triedenia a morálneho vývoja ľudstva. Ide o filozoficko-teologickú esej, ktorá spája ontológiu, dejinnú filozofiu, kritiku liberalizmu aj duchovnú antropológiu do jedného syntetického rámca, „tretej syntézy“, ktorá chce prekročiť jednostrannosť materializmu aj čistej spirituality. Názov Tretia syntéza odkazuje na dve predošlé syntézy v západnom myslení, a to vyrovnanie sa sv. Augustína s Platónom a "pokrstenie" Aristotela Tomášom Akvinským. Kniha je určená čitateľom, ktorí hľadajú hlbší zmysel súčasných civilizačných zmien a neboja sa premýšľať o budúcnosti človeka v horizonte večnosti.

Warhead


Discover the new science behind warfare, from Dr Nicholas Wright, leading neuroscientist and adviser to the Pentagon. Why did France lose to the Nazis, despite its defenders having more tanks, troops and guns? How did Ukraine repel Russia's initial onslaught? How do you know if you can trust an ally? How can we make clearer decisions under pressure? In Warhead, Nicholas Wright takes us on a fascinating journey through the brain to show us why, if we want to understand warfare, we must first look inside our own heads. Drawing on his work as a neuroscientist and over a decade spent advising the Pentagon and the UK government, he reveals how, whether we like it or not, the brain is wired for conflict - in the office or on the battlefield. With a unique framework that helps explain today's rising tensions and how to defuse them, Warhead brings cutting-edge research to life through stories from across history. What was it like for a foot soldier at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815? How did Shaka Zulu or Winston Churchill see through the fog of conflict, make better decisions and communicate with their troops? How will human conflict shape our future technologies? In an increasingly dangerous world that threatens our values and success, Warhead is an essential read to understand why we fight, lose and win wars.

Featuring a foreword by Spencer Johnson, bestselling author of Who Moved My Cheese? Charming and thought-provoking, this bestselling story about a penguin colony in Antarctica illustrates key truths about how we deal with the issue of change: handle the challenge well and you can prosper greatly; handle it poorly and you put yourself at risk.

Then one curious penguin discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home - and pretty much no one listens to him.

America, America


The first definitive history of the Western hemisphere, a sweeping five-century narrative of North and South America that redefines our understanding of both continents - perfect for readers of How the World Made the West. The story of the United States’ unique sense of itself was forged facing south – no less than Latin America’s was indelibly stamped by the looming colossus to the north. In this stunningly original reinterpretation of the New World, Professor Greg Grandin reveals how the Americas emerged from constant, turbulent engagement with each other, shedding new light on well-known historical figures like Bartolomé de las Casas, Simón Bolívar and Woodrow Wilson, as well as lesser-known actors such as the Venezuelan Francisco de Miranda, who almost lost his head in the French Revolution and conspired with Alexander Hamilton to free America from Spain. America, América traverses half a millennium, from the Spanish Conquest – the greatest mortality event in human history – through the eighteenth-century wars for independence and the Monroe Doctrine, to the coups and revolutions of the twentieth century. This monumental work of scholarship fundamentally changes our understanding of Spanish and English colonialism, slavery and racism, the rise of universal humanism, and the role of social democracy in staving off authoritarian impulses. At once comprehensive and accessible, America, América shows how the United States and Latin America together shaped the laws, institutions, and ideals that govern the modern world. Drawing on a vast array of sources, and told with authority and flair, this is a genuinely new history of the New World.

The Art of Uncertainty


From the UK's 'statistical national treasure', a clever and data-driven guide to how we can live with risk and uncertainty We live in a world where uncertainty is inevitable. How should we deal with what we don't know? And what role do chance, luck and coincidence play in our lives? David Spiegelhalter has spent his career dissecting data in order to understand risks and assess the chances of what might happen in the future. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better. In engaging, crystal-clear prose, he takes us through the principles of probability, showing how it can help us think more analytically about everything from medical advice to pandemics and climate change forecasts, and explores how we can update our beliefs about the future in the face of constantly changing experience. Along the way, he explains why roughly 40% of football results come down to luck rather than talent, how the National Risk Register assesses near-term risks to the United Kingdom, and why we can be so confident that two properly shuffled packs of cards have never, ever been in the exact same order. Drawing on a wide range of captivating real-world examples, this is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty while also having the humility to admit what we do not know

Amnesia Remembered


Our modern culture is increasingly expressed in the form of digital artifacts, yet archaeology is in its infancy when it comes to researching and understanding them. The study and reverse engineering of digital artifacts is no longer the exclusive domain of computer scientists. Presented by way of analogy to the process of archaeological fieldwork familiar to readers, the 1986 Electronic Arts game Amnesia is used as a vehicle to explain the procedure and thought process required to reverse engineer a digital artifact. As a go-to reference to learn how to begin studying the digital, Amnesia is shown to be a multi-layered artifact with a complex backstory; through it, topics in data compression, copy protection, memory management, and programming languages are covered.

Cumbernauld From Old Photographs


Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire has seen huge changes over the years. Originally a village built around Cumbernauld Castle and Cumbernauld House, it was designated a new town in 1955 to house people living in poor conditions and war-damaged areas in Glasgow and elsewhere. Its population grew rapidly as construction started and by 1967, when the town centre was opened by Princess Margaret, Cumbernauld was winning awards for its innovative modernist architecture. Construction and expansion has continued in the ensuing years, with some of its original architecture being modified and even rebuilt for the changing requirements of people living in present-day Scotland.In Cumbernauld From Old Photographs the author has drawn on a remarkable selection of old photographs to give a pictorial record of how much the town and the community has changed over the years. Although many of landmarks have remained the same over the years the photographs show the town adapting and evolving with many other buildings being replaced and the pattern of life in the town changing for many too. This fascinating collection of images will be of interest to those who have lived in Cumbernauld or know it well.

The Sword in the Stone


Many Indo-European peoples worshipped a sword-god, but the oldest of those associated with the Sword in the Stone come from the Hittite culture. The major evidence is found in a sacred complex at Yazilikaya near the original Hittite capitol of Hattusha. Twelve sword-bearing runners are depicted and there is a chamber dedicated to the swords that depicts a sword god. Clearly, we are looking at a zodiac pattern. Christ had twelve disciples and Charlemagne and King Arthur both had twelve companions. The twelve runners with the swords are on the western wall, and ''west'' is the traditional direction of the Otherworld, the Land of the Dead, in many Indo-European traditions. The Hittite ''Prayer of Kantuzzili'' tells how Underworld gods were shaped from clay into the form of swords and implanted in the ground. The story of the Sword in the Stone is repeated down through the centuries in different cultures, and the authors here bring all the strands together to explain hoe we arrive at Arthur. And even Galahad, the son of Lancelot, deputed to be the successful Grail knight in the later accounts of the quest, also performed this miracle. In this case the sword is placed in a floating stone by Merlin.Why is it a forty-thousand-year-old mystery? Observers in the Mesopotamian and Babylonian cultures noticed then that what is today referred to as the Pole Star, which sat at the centre of the heavenly dome, was shifting several degrees to the North. This event, which became known as Northshift, changed the positions of the constellations written across the sky, affecting the way in which the stars were perceived to influence the fate of us all. This is a fascinating tale of human perception of the night sky, and how it produced its own timeless narrative.
