Le bonheur au travail en 50 dessins de presse

Cette exposition Le bonheur au travail ? A été organisée par la Société d’Ergonomie de Langue Française (SELF) qui fête ses 50 ans. Je suis allée la voir ce matin (l’accès est libre et gratuit). Une exposition qui fait à la fois sourire (souvent jaune car la réalité du monde du travail n’est pas toujours très gaie) et réfléchir.

The Right Kind of Visualisation. Is what you see, really what you get?

The Right Kind of Visualisation

There are some wild claims out there for the power of visualisation. Things like: if you can imagine it, then it will come to you. Of course there’s always been a huge market for telling people things they want to hear, even if it’s complete rubbish. Still, visualisation can certainly be important in reaching goals.

" This is a simulation by Margaret Livingstone of what you perceive when you view the "Mona Lisa" in your peripheral vision, on the left and middle, and straight-on. Note how the smile changes.

Colorful Crammed Headquarters - The Hurley Campus Is Bursting With Branded Features. How to become creative – the short honest truth. I’ve spent a decade studying how creatives do what they do and its simple: they work.

The problem could be writing a poem, making a song, designing a website, anything. But no creative person in history was creative independent of working on some kind of project. The biggest difference between you and Picasso, or Einstein, or whoever your heroes are is that they out work(ed) you. Explaining Economic Theory with Rap Music. You may not have seen Russ Roberts when browsing our Top Artists pages, and that would be because he’s not primarily a musician, but in fact an economist.
