Empower your people, your company―and yourself―with leadership egolibrium egolibrium: the ability to toggle between egocentric and “other-centric” attitudes, values, and behaviors for organizational success There’s no doubt about it: the very best leaders are deeply in tune with their behavior and understand the impact it has on others. As one of the world’s top trainers in the field of accelerated experiential learning, Ron Roberts understands this more keenly than anyone, and in The Well-Balanced Leader, he helps you re-envision your own behavior to become the best leader you can be. Roberts makes the process of finding the perfect leadership balance―what he calls egolibrium―personally enriching and easy to achieve. He begins by identifying the nine human behavioral dichotomies that most affect the quality of leadership:
<ul>
<li>Nonjudgmental / Judgmental </li>
<li>Nondefensive / Defensive </li>
<li>Relinquishing Control / Controlling </li>
<li>Openness to learning / Know it all </li>
<li>Doing the right thing / Doing whatever you want </li>
<li>Patience / Impatience </li>
<li>Letting go / Holding on </li>
<li>Acceptance / Resistance </li>
<li>Other-centric / Egocentric</li>
</ul>
Everyone’s behaviors fall somewhere between each dichotomy. Using the activities, action steps, games, and thought exercises included for each pair, you’ll figure out exactly where your behaviors land, and then learn how to move that position in one direction or the other to find the right balance or your specific needs.

Francis Huxley and the Human Condition: Anthropology, Ancestry and Knowledge

Focused on the life and work of Francis Huxley (1923-2016), this book offers an exploration of the search to understand the human condition, one which is simultaneously biographical, philosophical, cultural, historical, political and epistemological. A member of the illustrious Huxley dynasty, Francis Huxley forged an unusual and innovative career making key contributions to social anthropology, mental health care, and the protection of indigenous peoples. His story reveals how the production and dissemination of ideas can be understood in an intergenerational context which is familial and sociological. The book reflects on the contemporary relevance of Huxley's work, forging links between the central philosophical, cultural, scientific and political themes that dominate the turbulent early 21stcentury and the enduring questions that have driven human beings in the search to understand themselves and their place in the world. It will be of interest to scholars from across the social sciences and humanities.

We all live in a chaotic, hectic, oftentimes out-of-control world that seems to be accelerating more quickly every day. So stress management has become a multimillion-dollar business with the use of counseling and prescription drugs. 
Millions turn to God in prayer daily, asking for divine intervention with serious family, relationship, health, or financial problems. Yet how many pray with the intention of letting go completely, in a way that allows them to take the time to listen to God’s advice and direction? Only when prayer and meditation truly converge do we get our needs met in a timely manner. 
This book is a simple guide for people of all religions, races, and ages to learn to manage their out-of-control thinking, hear and see God’s voice and visions, and get answers to their prayers so they can regain greater peace, joy, and love every day.

Prayer is Talking to God ... MEDITATION is LISTENING!

Society is undergoing a process of deep change and transformation as the neoliberal order moves into crisis. Contemporary psychology, mired in exceptionalism and individualism, fails to address this broader context and continues with a fragmented reductionist approach which is alienating to students and practitioners alike. In the lifetime of the discipline there have been several distinct frameworks to emerge - psychoanalytic, behaviourist and cognitive. To these one might add Kelly’s Personal Construct Theory as the last attempt to present a coherent and challenging framework for how to understand our lives. As society moves into a new phase, Ron Roberts argues the need for a new way of ‘doing’ psychology which challenges not only the existing epistemological and reductionist outlook, but the centrality of a scientific professional discourse as a suitable vehicle for improving lives and making sense of the world.
