The Human Way

In this counter-intuitive book for managers, the author argues that no one is perfect and that success as a leader is not about being perfect and always doing the right thing; it is about accepting your own humanity and adopting a number of down-to-earth attitudes and values. That's when we achieve true (adequate) success. Through ten commandments-starting with \"Be humble-as a manager, you are also an employee\"-management expert Kelly Odell provides a new perspective on how we should behave as managers in this age of differing cultures and values. How we think about people, motivation, power and relationships is the foundation for successful management. Odell argues that too much emphasis is placed on the leader setting a good example and becoming a (heroic) role model, when in fact a leader whose priority is on other people is more likely to create value for their company and succeed as a manager.

In this incessantly readable, groundbreaking work, Vincente makes vividly clear how we can bridge the widening gap between people and technology. He investigates every level of human activity - from simple matters such as our hand-eye coordination to complex human systems such as government regulatory agencies, and why businesses would benefit from making consumer goods easier to use. He shows us why we all have a vital stake in reforming the aviation industry, the health industry, and the way we live day-to-day with technology.

In this insightful and inspiring conversation between Spiritualist Medium Paula Farley and her spirit teacher, White Robe, he clearly addresses the myths and romanticism about the spirit world that continue to create confusion in our understanding of how the energetic realm works. White Robe succinctly addresses the beliefs that have been inherited through many generations and incarnations onto the Earth plane. Through the questions posed by the author, White Robe asks us to look at the beliefs we hold that may hinder our understanding and journey in human form. Clearly this places the responsibility of life on Earth as a human one, whilst assuring us that the spirit world will always provide the assistance we need to be spirit first/human second, if we are willing to expand our beliefs enough to become truly powerful beings. White Robe provides explanations and understanding in a relaxed, conversational manner whilst still acknowledging the struggles and confusions that walking purely the human way has left us with. He patiently explains that by understanding the spirit way, we can expand our beliefs and therefore experiences of the assistance that is always provided by loved ones, guides, and angels alongside the human way. His explanations provide the clarity needed for each of us to understand how, as unique individuals, we can be the masters of our own construction, rather than the tools of our own destruction. Never before has such an honest and open conversation provided the insight needed to assist us in our understanding of how both human and spirit can walk hand in handif we are willing to accept that help can be given.

In this volume, Calvin Luther Martin proposes that the Europeans learned what they wished to learn from the native Americans, not what the Americans actually meant. Drawing on his own experience with native people and on their stories, he offers the reader a different conceptual landscape.

A wide-ranging argument by a renowned anthropologist that the capacity to believe is what makes us human Why are so many humans religious? Why do we daydream, imagine, and hope? Philosophers, theologians, social scientists, and historians have offered explanations for centuries, but their accounts often ignore or even avoid human evolution. Evolutionary scientists answer with proposals for why ritual, religion, and faith make sense as adaptations to past challenges or as by-products of our hyper-complex cognitive capacities. But what if the focus on religion is too narrow? Renowned anthropologist Agustín Fuentes argues that the capacity to be religious is actually a small part of a larger and deeper human capacity to believe. Why believe in religion, economies, love? A fascinating intervention into some of the most common misconceptions about human nature, this book employs evolutionary, neurobiological, and anthropological evidence to argue that belief—the ability to commit passionately and wholeheartedly to an idea—is central to the human way of being in the world.

Explores characteristics inherited from both primitive man and other animals.

This book describes the emergent nature of human culture, based on the human ability to create and pass on social codes through instruction and example. It proposes hypotheses to explain how a phenomenon that is potentially maladaptive for individuals could have evolved, and to explain why culture plays such a pervasive role in human life. It then reviews the primatological, fossil, and archaeological data to test these hypotheses.
