A Way of Being

Product Information

McGilchrist believes the essential difference between the two hemispheres is that the right “pays attention to whatever it is that exists apart from ourselves, with which it sees itself in profound relation to…[while]…the left pays attention to the virtual world it has created, which is self-consistent, but self-contained” (McGilchrist, 2009, p.93). Others, such as Owen Flanagan, Professor of Neurobiology and Philosophy, disagree with McGilchrist noting that “hemispheric differences are not well understood” (Flanagan, 2009). Whether or not these differences are physiologically attributable to the two hemispheres, I believe the conceptual differentiation provides a powerful lens through which to understand human behaviour. What you do and how you do it influences the choices you make and the way you interpret the resulting impact on you and the world. A Life Leader is looking to make sense of the meaning behind the words, the driver behind behaviours that get results that matter to you. Getting at the drivers of meaningful engagement. urn:isbn:0547524447 Scandate 20100825044357 Scanner scribe4.sfdowntown.archive.org Scanningcenter sfdowntown Worldcat (source edition)

If you enjoyed these books, your will like The Creative Act: A Way of Being and the other way round: From the legendary music producer, a master at helping people connect with the wellsprings of their creativity, comes a beautifully crafted book many years in the making that offers that same deep wisdom to all of us.A profound and deeply personal collection of essays by renowned psychologist Carl Rogers The late Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychology movement and father of client-centered therapy, based his life's work on his fundamental belief in the human potential for growth. A Way of Being was written in the early 1980s, near the end of Carl Rogers's career, and serves as a coda to his classic On Becoming a Person. More philosophical than his earlier writings, it traces his professional and personal development and ends with a prophetic call for a more humane future. the more the therapist becomes a real person and avoids self-protective or professional masks or roles, the more the patient will reciprocate and change in a constructive direction. Of course, the therapist should accept the patient nonjudgmentally and unconditionally. And, of course, the therapist must enter empathically into the private world of the client.” Noticing how you notice new things is the way you make sense of your world and make new distinctions. This is how you learn to change your Way of Being by observing how your language, and emotions. moods and physiology determine the actions you can take and the results you then get. Your learning becomes adaptive when you can see the story and the interpretations you are making that aren’t getting you the result you want, and see what changes you can make to your Way of Being to make a difference. In a VUCA World, you have to react to novelty and adapt within shorter time spans. This demands more of your sensemaking than your analytical skills. Going forward

It’s sensible to raise an eyebrow when Rubin, that most commercial of producers, claims to disregard commerce in the service of art. But his words can be seductive. I’m now off to replace my own scarcity mindset with one of abundance. I will strive to make the ecstatic my compass, and see how that goes. This is one of the most common misconceptions of the Actualising Tendency, and more specifically, the term self-actualisation. I find it very satisfying when I can be real, when I can be close to whatever it is that is going on within me. I like it when I can listen to myself. To really know what I am experiencing in the moment is by no means an easy thing, but I feel somewhat encouraged because I think that over the years I have been improving at it.” I hope that this has given you a good outline and understanding of the Actualiisng Tendency and the importance of its place within Person-centred Counselling.The Actualising Tendency was central to Rogers person-centred theory and as a result, his work with clients. He believed that the Actualising Tendency was a fundamental part of every single client that he saw and also the main reason why the person-centred approach is non-directive. I would prefer my experiences in communication to have a growth-promoting effect, both on me and on the other, and I should like to avoid those communication experiences in which both I and the other person feel diminished.” I realize that if I were stable and steady and static, I would be living death. So I accept confusion and uncertainty and fear and emotional highs and lows because they are the price I willingly pay for a flowing, perplexing, exciting life. Carl Rogers I'm also torn, as I'm the kind of person who finds gongs between chapters aggravating (I listened to the audio book). Still, Rubin's book achieves what it aims at: Readers get a sense of the great producer's thinking and work habits. Not all of his ideas are groundbreakingly new, but that doesn't mean they're wrong (the structure is slightly meandering and partly repetitive though). urn:lcp:wayofbeing00roge:epub:1d680fd6-4b9b-4b4d-b0a2-4efb8ef9ef0e Extramarc University of Alberta Libraries Foldoutcount 0 Identifier wayofbeing00roge Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t82j7664w Isbn 0395299152
