"She used to love sports, but now she just mopes around." "My kid has turned into such a slacker!" Over the course of her 25-year career, psychologist and learning expert Ellen Braaten has begun to notice a trend. More and more parents are coming to her because their kids couldn't care less about anything. How do bright, motivated young children become such unmotivated older kids and teens--and what can parents do about it? In this warm and encouraging guide, Dr. Braaten explains that kids who have lost the will to do anything (other than play video games) need more than simple encouragement or the "right" school, teacher, or coach to get back on track. Instead, Dr. Braaten helps parents understand the myriad biological, emotional, cognitive, and social factors that affect motivation--and build a plan to boost their child's confidence, incentive to learn, and engagement in life"--

Dopo la morte del marito, Sheryl Sandberg si sentiva priva di gioia, descrivendo un "immenso buco nero" che limitava la sua capacità di pensare e respirare. Tuttavia, il suo amico Adam Grant le rivelò che esistono azioni concrete per guarire anche dalle esperienze più devastanti. La resilienza non è una qualità fissa, ma un muscolo che possiamo allenare. "Option B" unisce le esperienze personali di Sandberg con le ricerche di Grant su come trovare la forza per andare avanti nonostante le avversità. A partire dal momento straziante in cui ha trovato il marito, Dave Goldberg, senza vita, Sheryl condivide il suo profondo dolore e il senso di isolamento che ha provato. Tuttavia, il libro va oltre il lutto, esplorando le esperienze di persone che hanno superato difficoltà significative, come malattie, perdita del lavoro, aggressioni sessuali, disastri naturali e violenze. Le loro storie testimoniano la resilienza dello spirito umano e la capacità di riscoprire la gioia. La resilienza nasce dal nostro intimo, ma è anche alimentata dal supporto degli altri: anche dopo le esperienze più devastanti, è possibile crescere, trovare un significato più profondo e apprezzare di più la vita.

"With [the book] 'Give and Take,' Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation's most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In [this book] he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn't even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo."--Amazon.com

"Facciamoci avanti" di Sheryl Sandberg è un'opera che ha generato un ampio dibattito culturale sull'empowerment femminile. Il libro affronta le sfide che le donne devono affrontare nel mondo del lavoro, evidenziando il divario tra il desiderio di uguaglianza e la fiducia nel chiedere promozioni o aumenti. Nonostante i progressi, le statistiche rimangono preoccupanti: solo il 20% dei seggi nei parlamenti è occupato da donne e tra i CEO delle Fortune 500, solo diciotto sono donne. Sandberg, COO di Facebook e riconosciuta tra le donne più potenti nel business, attinge alla sua esperienza nelle aziende di maggior successo al mondo per offrire spunti su come le donne possano aiutarsi a vicenda e apportare piccoli cambiamenti nella propria vita, contribuendo a un cambiamento su scala più universale.
