Hur får vi ut mesta möjliga av våra mentala resurser i en vardag fylld av stress och prestationskrav? I "Hjärnan på jobbet" får du möta Emily och Paul – mitt i yrkesliv, karriärer och vardagens familjeliv. Emily har precis tillträtt en ledande tjänst på ett större företag medan Paul driver eget som IT-konsult. Deras arbetsdagar fylls av e-post, telefonsamtal, möten, projekt, planer och beslut. Bara att hålla ställningarna inför denna virvelvind av information och uppgifter blir ibland oöverstigligt för dem.
I boken får vi göra en resa in i Emilys och Pauls hjärnor och se hur de sorterar alla intryck, och hur de prioriterar och agerar. Som tur är har Emily och Paul David Rock till hjälp: Han vet hur hjärnan fungerar och hur den kan möta de krav som ställs på oss. Rock visar hur Emily och Paul – och därmed du och jag som läser boken – kan navigera framgångsrikt genom en arbetsdag, för att mot slutet av dagen fortfarande känna oss fulla av energi och lust när hemmabestyren tar vid.
Boken tar upp ämnen som varför hjärnan blir så ansträngd av stress, varför det är svårt för oss att ändra beteendemönster och hur mindfulness kan hjälpa oss att få ut mesta möjliga av våra mentala resurser. Annat som tas upp är hur koncentration och uppmärksamhet kan bidra till en positiv förändring i hjärnan och vad som bidrar till energi, effektivitet och produktivitet i arbetet – inte minst hur kulturen på företag och arbetsplatser kan förändras för att bidra till detta. Det är hjärnforskningen som har svaren – och i Hjärnan på jobbet får du verktygen för dig och din arbetsplats. Det är hjärnforskningen som har svaren - och i "Hjärnan på jobbet" får du verktygen för dig och din arbetsplats.
"Rock tillhör dem inom näringslivet som tidigt började snegla på resultaten från hjärnforskningen. Han ställde sig frågan om ett nytt mer produktivt ledarskap, och ett effektivt självledarskap, kunde förankras i de nya neurokognitiva landvinningarna. I detta pedagogiska mästerverk, nu på svenska med titeln "Hjärnan på jobbet", har han lyckats sammanfatta och förmedla tillämpningarna av den nya kunskapen på ett föredömligt sätt, rakt ner i vardagen, där alla kan känna igen sig!"Ur den svenska utgåvans förord av Marie Ryd, dr i medicinsk vetenskap och chefredaktör för forskningsinformationstjänsten Holone

A researcher and consultant burrows deep inside the heads of one modern two-career couple to examine how each partner processes the workday—revealing how a more nuanced understanding of brain science can allow us to better organize, prioritize, recall, and sort our daily lives.Emily and Paul are the parents of two young children, and professionals with different careers. Emily is the newly promoted vice president of marketing at a large corporation; Paul works from home or from clients' offices as an independent IT consultant. Their days are filled with a bewildering blizzard of emails, phone calls, more emails, meetings, projects, proposals, and plans. Just staying ahead of the storm while overcoming distraction has become a seemingly insurmountable task.In Your Brain at Work Dr. David Rock goes inside Emily and Paul's brains to see how they function as each attempts to sort, prioritize, organize, and act on the vast quantities of information they receive in one typical day. Dr. Rock is an expert on how the brain functions in a work setting. By analyzing what is going on in their heads, he offers solutions for improving decision making that Emily and Paul (and all of us) can use to survive and thrive in today's hyperbusy work environment—and still feel energized and accomplished at the end of the day.In Your Brain at Work, Dr. Rock explores issues such as:why our brains feel so taxed, and how to maximize our mental resourceswhy it's so hard to focus, and how to better manage distractionshow to maximize the chance of finding insights to solve seemingly insurmountable problemshow to keep your cool in any situation, so that you can make the best decisions possiblehow to collaborate more effectively with otherswhy providing feedback is so difficult, and how to make it easierhow to be more effective at changing other people's behaviorand much more.

Improving human performance involves one of the hardest challenges in the known universe: changing the way people think. In constant demand as a coach, speaker, and consultant to companies around the world, David Rock has proven the secret to leading people (and living and working with them) is found in the space between our ears. "If people are being paid to think," he writes, "isn't it time the business world found out what the thing doing the work, the brain, is all about?"Supported by the latest groundbreaking research, "Quiet Leadership" provides, for the first time, a brain-based approach that will help busy leaders, executives, and managers improve their own and their colleagues' performance. Quiet leaders are masters at bringing out the best performance in others. They improve the thinking of people around them - literally improving the way their brains process information - without telling anyone what to do. Given how many people in today's companies are being paid to think and analyse, improving our thinking is one of the fastest ways to improve performance.This book offers a practical, six-step guide to making permanent workplace performance change by unleashing higher productivity, new levels of morale, and greater job satisfaction.

The researcher and bestselling author of Your Brain at Work delivers a powerful, neuroscience-backed guide that explains what makes us tick, and what ticks us off—through an exploration of the five domains of social motivation that underpin and drive all human behavior.In Your Brain at Work, David Rock introduced Emily and Paul, two hypothetical parents and professionals navigating the complexities of life. Through their connected stories, he demonstrated how our brains function during our hyper-busy workdays to help us better survive and thrive in our careers. In Good with Humans, Emily and Paul are back. Drawing on his groundbreaking SCARF model—encompassing Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness and Fairness—Rock uses their personal interactions with others as a springboard for explaining how our brains work in social situations.While all five domains are relevant to everyone, each might be more or less important individually influencing how we respond to situations and engage with others.Yet SCARF isn’t just about what drives us. It’s also a way of understanding what drives our interactions with others when they go well, and when they don’t. Most importantly, it can show us how to meaningfully improve these interactions in real time, or even ahead of time. The outcome is a breakthrough in how we operate with others in all realms of our lives: at work, at home, and beyond.With the rise in AI, interpersonal skills are more important than ever. Good with Humans is the guide we need today to teach us the skills we will need tomorrow.

DISCOVER THE SCIENCE BEHIND BRAIN-BASED COACHING By understanding how the brain works, coaching professionals can better tailor their language, strategies, and goals to be in alignment with an individual’s “hard-wired” way of thinking. Written by two well-known coaching professionals, David Rock and Linda Page, Coaching with the Brain in Mind presents the tools and methodologies that can be employed by novice and experienced coaches alike to create an effective—and ultimately more rewarding—relationship for both coach and client. This informative guide to the neuroscience of coaching clearly demonstrates how brain-based coaching works in practice, and how the power of the mind can be harnessed to help an individual learn and grow. Illustrated with numerous case examples and stories, this book is organized for immediate use by professionals in their client work. Coverage includes: A succinct but comprehensive overview of the major scientific and theoretical foundations for coaching and their implications for practice How the language of coaching—setting goals, making connections, becoming more aware, seeking breakthroughs, and taking action—parallels what neuroscientists tell us about how the brain operatesNeuroscience as a natural platform for the ongoing development of coachingBuilding on the existing foundation of coaching by adding neuroscience as an evidence base for the profession, Coaching with the Brain in Mind shows that it is possible to become a better professional coach by understanding how the brain works. As well, the authors, through their research, present that an understanding of neuroscience research, however new and speculative, can help coaches and leaders fulfill their potential as change agents in the lives of others.

David Rock has written the first comprehensive study of nationalism in Argentina, a fundamentalist movement pledged to violence and a dictatorship that came to a head with the notorious "disappearances" of the 1970s. This radical, right wing movement has had a profound impact on twentieth-century Argentina, leaving its mark on almost all aspects of Argentine life--art and literature, journalism, education, the church, and of course, politics.

Latin America in the 1940s: War and Postwar Transitions delves into the transformative effects of World War II and the Cold War on Latin America's political and social landscape. This decade, marked by "global shocks," reshaped the region’s international relations, replacing deep ties with Europe with unprecedented dependence on the United States. Internally, the period witnessed a fleeting shift toward democracy, labor union growth, and populist movements in many nations, only to see these gains rolled back by the late 1940s. The book explores how these upheavals created the framework for Latin America's political struggles and economic strategies in the decades that followed.Through a multidisciplinary lens, the volume examines the interplay of external pressures and internal dynamics in shaping the era’s outcomes. Key chapters highlight the economic transformations fueled by industrialization and population growth, alongside the challenges of uneven development and class tensions. Political case studies reveal a spectrum of experiences, from Brazil's oscillation between authoritarianism and populism to Uruguay's democratic resilience. The text also considers the lasting impact of U.S. Cold War policies, which curtailed reformist movements and cemented conservative regimes. Ultimately, the book situates the 1940s as a pivotal watershed, emphasizing its role in crystallizing the region's integration into a new global order and laying the groundwork for its future political and economic trajectories.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

This study is concerned with the forty-year period before 1930, when Argentina experienced rapid economic and social growth broken only by the First World War. The Radical Civic Union appeared in the 1912 elections and in 1916 its leader, Hipolito Yrigoyen, became President. Dr Rock discusses the origins and course of this experiment in representative government, and the distribution of power and political benefits under the new system in the light of the society created by the growth of the primary export economy: how it came about that the established political elite ceded control to the Radicals; whom they represented and towards which groups they directed their attentions. The work also deals with the methods of organization and mobilization used by them in a complex urban environment to develop and uphold their political support. It examines in some detail the class conflicts of the wartime period, the strikes whereby the workers sought to guard against the erosion of their wages by inflation, and the counter-mobilization of elite and middle-class groups, most notably in the bloody 'Tragic Week' of 1919.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, under the political system known as the oligarchy, Argentina evolved from a dictator-dominated backwater to the leading nation in Latin America. This book examines the formation of a formidable nation-state by studying three political movements: Mitrismo, led by Bartolomé Mitre; Roquismo, under General Julio A. Roca, which ruled the country from the 1860s to 1910; and Radicalismo, a political movement headed by Leandro N. Alem and Hipólito Irogoyen that sought to replace the oligarchy with a more democratic system. The book focuses on the methods these three political movements employed to attract allies in the rural provinces in order to create a national political coalition. Mitre enjoyed only a brief period of national dominance in the 1860s, his chief weakness being a narrow power base centered in Buenos Aires, which he was unable to extend. Roca began his career outside Buenos Aires in Córdoba, and came to power through a combination of military victories and the cultivation of local political support. In many respects, Radicalismo later succeeded by copying Roca's techniques of winning the support of provincial governors and local justices of the peace. Through its overarching themes of consolidation and coalition building, the book addresses several significant issues in Argentine politics during the period, such as the fate of the Federalists and the regional warlords, whom Mitre and his successors attempted to destroy but who were absorbed by Roca into his movement. It also studies the complex internal politics of Buenos Aires, including the formation of the Autonomist Party and the rebellions of 1880 and 1890.

The end of World War II led to one of the most significant forced population transfers in history: the expulsion of over 12 million ethnic Germans from Central and Eastern Europe between 1945 and 1950 and the subsequent emigration of another four million in the second half of the twentieth century. Although unprecedented in its magnitude, conventional wisdom has it that the integration of refugees, expellees, and Aussiedler was a largely successful process in postwar Germany. While the achievements of the integration process are acknowledged, the volume also examines the difficulties encountered by ethnic Germans in the Federal Republic and analyses the shortcomings of dealing with this particular phenomenon of mass migration and its consequences.

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this volume offers an overview of the role of writers, intellectuals, citizens, and the churches both before, but particularly after, 1989 in the GDR and the new Germany. Friedrich Schorlemmer provides the focal point, giving the book its coherence. Issues related to his role in the GDR church and citizens movement are examined, as well as his support for GDR writers both before and after unification, and his own writings on east and west German literature. After general surveys on intellectuals, civil rights groups, opposition movements, and churches in the transformation of east Germany the volume focuses on Friedrich Schorlemmer himself: a chapter on the significance of the role that he played is followed by interviews with him and an original essay by him, giving his personal view of the role of intellectuals, citizens, and writers in east Germany.The volume is rounded off by a chapter on the reactions of lesser known writers, and, finally, on the responses of prominent GDR writers to unification and on the changing role of writers in society. Combining literary and cultural with social and political analysis, this volume provides a lively and multifaceted picture of the new Germany.

Jurek Becker is one of the most important post-war German authors. His first novel, Jacob the Liar, already has the status of a classic of post-1945 European literature about the Holocaust and has been widely translated. This timely book traces the main events in Becker's unusual personal history: his childhood experiences in the Lodz Ghetto and in the concentration camps of Ravensbruck and Sachsenhausen, his life in the GDR, and his move to the West. The author reflects both on Becker's quest for his Jewish identity as well as on his achievements in terms of narrative technique, formal innovation and style. Examining Becker's treatment of the Holocaust in his novels and stories, the author highlights their central themes of hope as resistance to barbarity, the idea of memory, the inability of a survivor of the camps to overcome psychological scars, but also the provocative portrayal of Jews as oppressors who take revenge on their former persecutors. Becker's portrayal of life in former East Germany, the role of gender relations, the problems facing a writer under a socialist regime, and East-West German relations are also investigated.As the first comprehensive assessment of Becker's life and work, this book will be essential reading for those interested in German and Holocaust literature, critical theory and German studies.
