Taylor & Francis Generation Z
Book SynopsisNo other generation in history has received as much coverage as the Millennial generation. Books, Google searches, blogs, and news articles are everywhere about them. Yet, Generation Z is comprised of our youth and young adults today and has received very little attention comparatively. Those in Generation Z are among our youngest consumers, students, colleagues, constituents, voters, and neighbors. Being able to better understand who they are and how they see the world can be helpful in effectively working with, teaching, supervising, and leading them.Generation Z: A Century in the Making offers insight into nearly every aspect of the lives of those in Generation Z, including a focus on their career aspirations, religious beliefs and practices, entertainment and hobbies, social concerns, relationships with friends and family, health and wellness, money management, civic engagement, communication styles, political ideologies, technology use, and educational preferences.Trade Review"As a fellow Generation Z researcher, I can attest that Seemiller and Grace’s work is truly the most comprehensive and conclusive study of Generation Z to date. It is a must read for anyone who is parenting, educating, employing, marketing to or just plain interacting with this exciting, new generation." - Jeffrey Brauer, Professor of Social Sciences, Keystone College"Seemiller and Grace have masterfully made meaning of complex research on Generation Z using numerous studies and fascinating examples. They characterize this diverse, throwback generation as open-minded, caring, and grounded in a sense of integrity and tenacity. This exceptional book presents a well-grounded profile of this generation and applies that knowledge to such contexts as education and work environment. This is a comprehensive, illuminating, “must read” for employers, educators, clergy, politicians, market researchers, and anyone who will engage this generation." - Susan R. Komives, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland. "If you are part of Gen Z, if you work with someone in Gen Z, or if have a family member who is in Gen Z, you should get this book. You’ll be learning from the experts on the study of Gen Z – Dr. Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace. This book is packed with interesting data, engaging research studies, and fascinating observations. You can read it cover to cover or because of its well-organized structure, you can treat it like a reference book. You will learn to understand Gen Z (and other generations) better, communicate better, and most important, connect better. My bottom line: If you’re a Boomer, Gen X’er, or Millennial, and you find yourself either curious about Gen Z, or you find that you are quick to criticize people in Gen Z, struggling to understand them, then READ THIS BOOK!" - Dr. Ryan M. Niemiec, author of Character Strengths Interventions and Mindfulness and Character Strengths; Education Director of the renown, global VIA Institute on Character."Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace are without question the foremost experts on GenZ today. In Generation Z: A Century in the Making they have compiled the most comprehensive and insightful look at this world changing cohort and how they are already having a significant impact on work, culture, technology, politics and higher education among other areas. A must read for anyone trying to understand today's high school and college students - who they are, how they think and what drives them." - William Faust, Senior Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at OlogieTable of ContentsIntroduction Understanding generations 1.

The University of Chicago Press Creativity on Demand The Dilemmas of Innovation
Book SynopsisBusiness consultants everywhere preach the benefits of innovation--and promise to help businesses reap them. A trendy industry, this type of consulting is centered around courses, workshops, books, and conferences, all claiming to hold the secrets of success. But what kind of promises does the notion of innovation entail? What is it about the ideology and practice of business innovation that has made these consulting firms so successful at selling their services to everyone from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies? Most importantly, what does business innovation actually mean for work and our economy in general in 2019? In Creativity on Demand, cultural anthropologist Eitan Wilf seeks to answer these questions by returning to the fundamental and pervasive expectation of continual business innovation. Wilf focuses a keen eye on how our obsession with innovation stems from the long-standing value of acceleration in capitalist society. Based on ethnographic work with innovation cons

Random House USA Inc Growing Young
Book SynopsisNATIONAL BESTSELLERA smart, research-driven case for why optimism, kindness, and strong social networks will help us live to 100.From the day her daughter was born, science journalist Marta Zaraska fretted about what she and her family were eating. She fasted, considered adopting the keto diet, and ran a half-marathon. She bought goji berries and chia seeds and ate organic food. But then her research brought her to read countless scientific papers and to interview dozens of experts in various fields of study, including molecular biochemistry, epidemiology and neuroscience. What Marta discovered shattered her long-held beliefs about aging and longevity. A strong support network of family and friends, she learned, lowers mortality risk by about 45 percent, while exercise only lowers it by about 23 percent. Volunteering your free time lowers it by 22 percent or so, while certain health fads like turmeric haven't been shown to help at all. These revelations led Marta Zaraska to a simple conclusion: In addition to healthy nutrition and physical activity, deepening friendships, practicing empathy and contemplating your purpose in life can improve your lifespan. Through eleven chapters that take her around the world, from catching wild mice in the woods of central England to flower arranging with octogenarians in Japan, from laboratories to hugging centres, Marta embarks on an absorbing, entertaining and insightful journey to determine the habits that will have the greatest impact on our longevity. Deeply researched and expertly reported, Growing Young will dramatically change the way you seek a longer, happier life.

Vintage Canada Bolder How to Age Better and Feel Better about
Book SynopsisA radical re-think of our approach to everything from education, healthcare and work, to design, relationships and politics. An essential and inspiring read for everyone interested in our collective future.A revolution in how we age is here. Yes, ageing is inevitable: one year from now we will all be a year older; that will never change. What can and will change is how we age--and how we can all take a much bolder approach to doing it with vigour and joy.The time has come to cast off prejudices and to blur the lines of what is possible and permissible at every stage of life. In other words: we need to learn to re-imagine our approach to later life. Emboldening ourselves in older age demands big structural changes. For a start, we will have to tear up the old script that locks us into devoting the early part of our life to education, the middle chunk to working and raising kids, and whatever is left over at the end to leisure.

American Psychological Association Assessment and Treatment of Older Adults
Book SynopsisEvery day ten thousand baby boomers turn 65, and by 2030 more than 20% of US residents will be 65 or older. Mental health professionals must become familiar with the unique needs of this growing population. Using the APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Older Adults and the Pikes Peak Model for Training in Professional Geropsychology, this book shows mental health providers how to expand their practice in order to treat older adults. Chapters describe tools and techniques for assessing and treating common conditions that practitioners encounter when working with older adults, including depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment, and prescription drug misuse. Clinical case examples demonstrate how to deliver interventions while avoiding common interactional pitfalls. Includes expert recommendations for assessment tools, additional readings, and online resources. Trade Review“Valuable to the field of aging, broadly, as it captures the joys of gerontological-focused work while emphasizing the importance of contextualizing each aging adult in their unique ethnic, cultural, and personal history.” —The Gerontologist "Altogether, this work provides a handy, comprehensive review of mental health needs and services related to working with aging adults…. Recommended." —Choice "This pragmatic volume, by a leading expert in geropsychology, is a gem. It is replete with practical clinical advice, written in a user-friendly manner, that will easily enhance one’s evidence-based practice. If you work with older adults, or plan to, this is the book to get. For teachers of geropsychology, your search for the ideal text is over!" —Arthur M. Nezu, PhD, DHL, ABPP, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA; Editor-in-Chief, Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice "Hinrichsen is the internationally known “go-to” person for interpersonal psychotherapy with older adults. This engaging book is integrated with the scientific evidence from lifespan developmental psychology and clinical geropsychology. While rooted in his own long experience as a psychologist, Hinrichsen addresses mental health professionals who are new to working with older adults as well as those who have been in the field for years." —Bob G. Knight, PhD, ABPP, Professor of Psychology and Counselling, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia “Altogether, this work provides a handy, comprehensive review of mental health needs and services related to working with aging adults….

Sounds True Inc The Inside Story: The Surprising Pleasures of
Book SynopsisDo you fear that growing old means being trapped in a body filled with aches, pains, sags, and losses? Too many of us do-especially women. Though our youth-obsessed society is partly to blame, Dr. Susan Sands explains there is a deeper and unrecognized factor: we have never really gotten to know our bodies, to sense and feel our bodies from the inside out. With The Inside Story, she offers a much-needed guide for helping us understand, befriend, and support our bodies as we grow older. Without downplaying the real challenges we face as we age, Dr. Sands offers a wealth of case studies, interviews, and scientific findings to rewrite the common cultural beliefs that put us at odds with our own bodies. Here, she shares a wealth of powerful embodiment tools-including traditional practices such as meditation and yoga, as well as breathing methods, neural feedback techniques, guidance on diet and exercise, and more. Most of us have never been taught how to truly connect with our bodies-yet growing older can provide us a golden opportunity to heal this inner divide. "As older women, we are actually primed to experience our bodies more deeply and pleasurably," Dr. Sands says. "Our bodies are quieter and slower. Aging can open up a transformative new capacity for body awareness, allowing us to experience our whole selves for perhaps the first time with respect, tenderness, and love."

Peeters Publishers The Prime of Their Lives: Wise Old Women in Pre
Book SynopsisThe contributions to this volume show that, in pre-industrial Europe, women in their prime, women, that is, who had reached maturity and were beyond fertility, but not yet in old age, constitute a separate category for historical and literary analysis. These wise old women, or WOWs, took on tasks in society which were essentially different from the ones they had taken on before, mainly in the household. The case studies presented here show that some of these women entered a second phase of creativity and productivity and were even able to fulfil their desires at the age of forty. Being able, at last, to find their authentic selves, they acquired a female voice of their own. For some of them, for example, Christine de Pizan, the age of forty even functioned as a trope of female authorship.
