Remake Change The Way You Think Act Live

REMAKE: Change The Way You Think, Act, & Live.

Learning new things is essential to living, but so is slavishly adhering to some unquestionable views just because everyone else does. Our thoughts and judgments are disregarded by the family or society when we try to alter anything by questioning it. Thoughts have great power. They may be productive or destructive, positive or negative. Our thoughts about ourselves and the world around us have an impact on our words and deeds, which in turn Mould our routines and way of life.

"A straightforward, practical toolkit for identifying and overcoming barriers to change. As clinical psychologist Dr. Jacobs demonstrates in this slim, efficient volume, our minds and bodies often work together to keep us from making changes that would improve our lives. Jacobs's caring, direct approach will engage even the therapy-averse. She teaches readers how to identify a desired change, to examine the emotional barriers that prevent one from making that change and to devise a practical plan of action for working toward a goal. Illustrating how the mind and body are deeply and intricately bound, she outlines the four systems that interact to shape how we act and feel: emotions, bodily reactions, thoughts and behavior. Her methods are grounded in years of experience as a therapist, as shown through the case studies she uses to illustrate steps and challenges encountered in taking charge. A self-help book that could actually work." ?Kirkus Discoveries Author's Web site: www.take-chargeliving.com

Holistic Pedagogy

This book illuminates what must always be at the heart of powerful schooling and authentic learning. Its focus is on free learning, with an emphasis on early East Asian thought as a vehicle through which learning may emerge. The volume describes learning as helping the learner become more conscious, more aware. As such the authors explain how quality learning encompasses all learning that is chosen by the learner. It is non-judgmental and their idea is that if learning is done by choice then direct harm will be mitigated because quality, willed learning is not just about the individual, but includes others — it is community focused as well as self-determined. In the first part of the volume the authors look specifically at how quality willed learning can inform the state and how it can protect the rights of children. The second part looks at what quality willed learning can mean to leaders. In the last part the authors look at what it can mean for teachers and finally what it can mean for the learners themselves.
