2014’s Best Books on Psychology, Philosophy, and How to Live Meaningfully by Maria Popova How to be alone, wake up from illusion, master the art of asking, fathom your place in the universe, and more. After the year’s most intelligent and imaginative children’s books and best science books, here are my favorite books on psychology and philosophy published this year, along with the occasional letter and personal essay — genres that, at their most excellent, offer hearty helpings of both disciplines. Perhaps more precisely, these are the year’s finest books on how to live sane, creative, meaningful lives. Werner Herzog is celebrated as one of the most influential and innovative filmmakers of our time, but his ascent to acclaim was far from a straight trajectory from privilege to power. And yet in many ways, A Guide for the Perplexed could well have been titled A Guide to the Perplexed, for Herzog is as much a product of his “cumulative humiliations and defeats,” as he himself phrases it, as of his own “chronic perplexity,” to borrow E.B. Harris writes: Why?
The 5 best books on Innovation EVER Before I share the list of the 5 best books on innovation, here’s a list of 5 things you need to know before reading that list. It’s worth it. I promise. There are 100s of books on innovation and most are terrifyingly (and ironically) boring. They’re bought to be placed, unread, on office shelves so people can pretend they’re smart. There. I can confidently say if you only read 5 books these are the ones to read and re-read: Innovation and Entrepreneurship, by Peter Drucker. There. Most of these books are old. But I implore you to do more than read. Informática Uned opiniones : General No soy muy afín a estas cosas, pero ya que mi yo del pasado hubiese agradecido un hilo como este voy a contar mi experiencia. Deberías ponerle un sticky, btw. En mi caso, acabé el instituto, me metí a telecomunicaciones en la politécnica de mi C.A. y lo dejé por informática en la UNED mayormente porque tenía que estudiar fuera de casa y me estaba ahogando en remordimientos por sangrar a mis padres (la fábrica en la que curraba de mientras cerró, así que mal). Cosas positivas de la UNED con respecto a lo que respiré en dicha politécnica: · No soy buen estudiante en el sentido de que ir a clase a hacer el paripé se me atragantaba mucho y me drenaba la motivación. · En la línea del punto anterior, no hay clases obligatorias (al margen de 4 horas al año que son paripé 100%, pero son sólo cuatro horas de 365*24). · Cuesta menos dineros. · Ambiente más maduro* (algo que me esperaba cuando salí del instituto, pero para nada). · Mayor disponibilidad de recursos. · Conocer gente de clase.
Top 100 primary books: views from a pupil, a teacher and an author Last week, TES published the top 100 books to read before leaving primary school, as chosen by teachers. The list, which was topped by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, generated a huge response on social media and sparked heated debates about what should and should not have made the final list. Here we hear from a teacher, a pupil and one of the authors on list, which spans everything from Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian to Green Eggs and Ham by Dr Seuss. A pupil’s view: Benji Cartwright is 11 and has read nine out of the top 10 books. He said the themes in these stories could make us better people. “I think some of the books on the list could teach you what other people go through,” he says. A teacher’s view: Kate Pembridge, Year 6 teacher and literacy coordinator at Elmbridge Junior School in Gloucester, said the strong fantasy theme in the list should be treated with caution. “There are pros and cons to otherworldly settings. An author’s view:
Books Entrepreneurs Should Read Jeff Bezos also had his executives read "The Innovator's Dilemma," one of the all-time most influential business books and a top pick of several other founders and VCs, whose reviews are below. Steve Blank, a former serial entrepreneur who now teaches at U.C. Berkeley and other schools, says of the book: "Why do large companies seem and act like dinosaurs? Christensen finally was able to diagnose why and propose solutions. Chris Dixon, an investor at Andreessen Horowitz and a former co-founder and CEO of Hunch, notes: "'The Innovator's Dilemma' popularized the (often misused) phrase 'disruptive technology,' but there's a lot more than that one big idea.
Daway 01: Secretos para aprender inglés y optimizar el tiempo , con Joseph Lemien - Daway Inglés Joseph Lemien es políglota. Habla cuatro idiomas y gran parte de su estudio es autodidacta. Lo conocí el año pasado mientras cursaba su Erasmus en Murcia, y debo decir que siempre me sorprendió lo, literalmente, crack, que es en cuanto a aprendizaje se refiere. Hoy, en Daway, tengo el placer de poder ofrecerte casi media hora de conversación en la que el propio Joseph desvela su manera de aprender idiomas, las técnicas de estudio que utiliza y cómo ha obtenido mejores resultados optimizando el tiempo al máximo, dedicando apenas un rato cada día. Importante! Este es el primer episodio de lo que espero se convierta en una de las secciones más interesantes de este blog. Tanto Joseph como yo (sobre todo él, que es nativo) decidimos intentar no hablar en inglés muy rápido y hacer la conversación de modo que pueda servir como material didáctico al mismo tiempo, de modo que puedas conocer todo lo que él ha aprendido y al mismo tiempo puedas aprender inglés y practicar tu oído.

Things You Will Never Read In A Book Review - The Toast Home » Books » Things You Will Never Read In A Book Review The book provoked one, maybe two thoughts.The author’s critique of modern technology is, in a word, flinching.This story of love, loss and struggle absolutely gives in to categorization.This book was neither a page-turner nor sluggish. I read it at a regular pace.My tears stayed firmly in place, no jerking whatsoever thank goodness.A sunny reimagining of a classic tale.A tamely imaginative debut work.This story grabs you by the collar and then promptly lets go and apologizes for the outburst.I easily and often put the book down.This novel is an untangled web that quickly unravels and stays that wayThis book has a difficult time tying its three disparate narratives together, and that’s just fineA colorless work.367 breathful pagesThis book doesn’t allow me to extrapolate anything about the author.Gonna be honest, I didn’t read the book.

How to Read a Book a Week (It's a Lot Easier Than You Think) In his very first meeting with his mentor, W. Clement Stone, Jack Canfield asked him what he needed to do to be successful. [1] Stone asked him to eliminate one hour of television a day. He explained: “Cutting out just one hour of television a day creates an extra 365 hours per year to accomplish whatever is most important to you. Confused, Canfield asked Stone what he wanted him to do with that extra hour. His reply was simple: Read. Canfield, now 70, has read more than 3,000 books and is one of the most successful authors of all time. [2] How Long Does It Take You to Read a Book? In a recent interview with Tim Ferriss, Internet entrepreneur and AppSumo founder Noah Kagan said something that summarised the importance of reading in today’s information age: “I’ve never met someone who is super successful and doesn’t read”. [3] Fact: leaders are readers. For most of us reading is a pastime, one we only pursue when we’re bored, but for leaders, it’s an investment in their education. 1. 2. 3. Sources
