Penguin Books Ltd The Icarus Deception How High Will You Fly
Book SynopsisIn The Icarus Deception, Seth Godin''s most inspiring book, he challenges readers to find the courage to treat their work as a form of artEveryone knows that Icarus''s father made him wings and told him not to fly too close to the sun; he ignored the warning and plunged to his doom. The lesson: Play it safe. Listen to the experts. It was the perfect propaganda for the industrial economy. What boss wouldn''t want employees to believe that obedience and conformity are the keys to success?But we tend to forget that Icarus was also warned not to fly too low, because seawater would ruin the lift in his wings. Flying too low is even more dangerous than flying too high, because it feels deceptively safe.The safety zone has moved. Conformity no longer leads to comfort. But the good news is that creativity is scarce and more valuable than ever. So is choosing to do something unpredictable and brave: Make art. Being an artist isn''t a genetic disposition Trade ReviewIf Seth Godin didn't exist, we'd need to invent him * Fast Company *Seth Godin is a demigod on the web, a bestselling author, highly sought-after lecturer, successful entrepreneur, respected pundit and high-profile blogger * Forbes *A wonderful manifesto in the author's characteristic style - pathological honesty, ruthless scepticism and generous intellect.

Harvard University Press Acts of Meaning
Book SynopsisBruner argues that the cognitive revolution, with its fixation on a computational model of mind, has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings. Only by breaking out of the limitations of this model can we grasp the interaction through which mind both constitutes and is constituted by culture.Trade ReviewThe failure of the cognitive revolution to unravel the mysteries of the workings of the human mind as the creator of meanings is the starting point for Jerome Bruner’s Acts of Meaning. He argues that psychology should return to human concerns, especially the role of culture in shaping our thoughts and the language we use to express them… [He] seems to have read and assimilated everyone else’s ideas on the topics he discusses. He can—and does—allude to them in context, so that we are constantly rubbing elbows with the giants on whose shoulders he stands. Erudite and recondite, the text glistens with Bruner’s bold style. -- Dava Sobel * New York Times Book Review *Bruner again demonstrates his impressive range of interest as he proposes nothing less than to set the essential agenda for psychology today… Bruner aims his manifesto not at the behaviorists—he considers that struggle long since won—but at those members of his own cognitive party who have sold their souls to the computer… [He] describes how psychology can rededicate itself to the study of meaning and its formation. Having spent an illustrious career ascending the mountain, he now takes an elder statesman’s panoramic view… Those interested in the current debates in psychology will find [this] book provocative and stimulating. -- Paul Buttenwieser * Washington Times *An engaging, provocative, and knowing book. -- William Kessen * Contemporary Psychology *Acts of Meaning, written by one of the most distinguished thinkers in human development, is an insightful summary of the past trends in the field, and is, perhaps, a prophetic glimpse into the future. Bruner’s breadth of knowledge makes for thought-provoking and enjoyable reading for anyone interested in human culture. * Harvard Educational Review *[An] extended, contemplative essay on the role played by narrative in the construal of meaning. In [this] work, Bruner elaborates on the failure of cognitive science in abandoning ‘meaning-making’ for ‘information processing,’ and its attendant concentration on computational logic… Bruner, as one of the most influential psychologists of this century, makes an important statement well worth reading. * Choice *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments One The Proper Study of Man Two Folk Psychology as an Instrument of Culture Three Entry into Meaning Four Autobiography and Self Notes Subject Index Name Index

Harvard University Press The End of Adolescence The Lost Art of Delaying
Book SynopsisNancy Hill and Alexis Redding contest the accusation that today’s young people are coddled and immature. Unearthing studies of college students five decades ago, the authors show that the behaviors now decried as markers of stalled development have long been typical of adolescents. Hill and Redding’s advice for adults? Judge less, nurture more.Trade ReviewProfessors Hill and Redding convincingly dismiss the widely held view that contemporary young people are fundamentally different from their counterparts who came of age a half-century ago. The End of Adolescence reminds us that the essential psychological challenges inherent in becoming an adult in today’s society—and the supports that adolescents need to make this transition successfully—are not all that dissimilar from what they were in past generations. Scholars and students of adolescence should read this thoughtful book. -- Laurence Steinberg, author of Age of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of AdolescenceThis book is a must-read for anyone who cares deeply about one of the most misunderstood populations in our society—emerging adults. The process adolescents used for self-discovery and preparing for the world of work has changed dramatically. Yet as the book reminds us, it’s not young people who have changed over time, it’s their contexts and opportunities. -- Angel B. Pérez, Ph.D., CEO, National Association for College Admission CounselingThis engaging book uses an untapped treasure trove of interviews from college students in the 1970s to draw insights for today. Young adults thrive when we give them the space to develop, when they can find community while staying connected to home, and when they have time to pursue career interests. Delaying adulthood is not new and it is not harmful—if used safely and well. -- Adam Gamoran, Ph.D., President, William T. Grant FoundationThe End of Adolescence fills a void in research on adolescence and young adulthood development, as Hill and Redding address an age-old question: ‘Are kids these days different than those in the past?’ Hill and Redding’s innovative research reveals that what has changed is not today’s youth, but rather the historical context in which they have developed. This timely book should be required reading for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of adolescence and young adult development. -- Velma McBride Murry, Vanderbilt University and President, Society for Research on Adolescence

Harvard University Press Out of My Skull
Book SynopsisUsually when we’re bored, we try to distract ourselves. But soon enough, boredom returns. James Danckert and John Eastwood argue that we can learn to handle boredom more effectively by recognizing what research shows: boredom indicates unmet psychological needs. Boredom, therefore, can motivate us to change what isn’t working in our lives.Trade ReviewBoredom is often inescapable these days, as social distancing guidelines keep many of us at home…[This] is an engaging and timely read that is anything but boring. -- Erin Westgate * Science *Offers an essential insight. Readers will leave with a greater understanding of what boredom is and what we can do with it. More than anything, it explains why boredom is something we shouldn’t fight so much as listen to. -- Eric Cortellessa * Washington Monthly *Danckert and Eastwood urge us to resist the temptation to ‘just kick back on the couch with a bag of chips’ and instead to find activities that impart a sense of agency and reorient us toward our goals. -- Margaret Talbot * New Yorker *Boredom bothers nearly everyone, but who likes admitting that? Take heart: James Danckert and John Eastwood demonstrate how boredom, though unpleasant, can spur us into productive action. Out of My Skull just might make you feel better about this very human failing—I know it did for me. -- Peter Toohey, author of Boredom: A Lively HistoryProvocative and timely, cheeky and erudite, this book will bore no one. -- Colin Ellard, author of Places of the Heart: The Psychogeography of Everyday LifeFew have done as much as James Danckert and John Eastwood to bring boredom out of the scientific shadows and inspire researchers to give it the consideration it deserves. Out of My Skull is a gift for the rest of us—accessible, engaging, and enlightening. -- Mark Fenske, coauthor of The Winner's Brain: 8 Strategies Great Minds Use to Achieve SuccessAn inspiring look at the nature of boredom—what causes it, how we deal with it, and how it impacts our lives. Danckert and Eastwood explore some of the most pressing problems of our time, including solitary confinement, delinquency, internet addiction, and war, challenging us to consider what boredom can tell us about our world and ourselves. -- Heather Lench, editor of The Function of Emotions: When and Why Emotions Help UsOut of My Skull is a highly entertaining, compelling, and thought-provoking read on the subject of boredom. I learned a lot, and so will you. -- Joshua Coleman, author of When Parents Hurt: Compassionate Strategies When You and Your Grown Child Don’t Get AlongOffers a concise and actually quite stimulating history of boredom. -- Michael Odell * The Times *[A] highly interesting and suggestive book on the analysis of boredom from a strictly psychological perspective. -- Steven Poole * The Guardian *[A] fascinating book…An extended meditation on boredom as feeling and motive, as source of misery and meaning in life, as social pathology and technological predicament…An enjoyable and enlightening read that explores the many dimensions of boredom deftly but deeply. -- Nick Haslam * Inside Story *Explore[s] what boredom really is and, crucially, whether it might serve a purpose. * Idler *The book could not be more timely. -- Susie Mesure * inews *

Book SynopsisEach of the 52 chapters offers a theme for reading and reflection for a week''s time. Some are seasonal, such as the ones for New Year''s, Easter, Mother''s and Father''s Day, and Thanksgiving. Others contain general themes that we face on return (and on the way to return) from prison or jail to society. I have written them for as general an audience as I could. Though I am a Christian-and my views reflect this-like the Twelve Step movement, I have tried to keep the focus on spirituality and not religion, principles and not doctrine.Each chapter also contains seven questions for reflection. I invite the reader to read each chapter for seven days during the week and then answer one question for that week''s reading. Spending time with that question, even journaling one''s response, can help with the thought processes during reentry. Additionally, the book, with its chapters and ref

Vintage Separation
Book SynopsisSeparation, the second volume of Attachment and Loss, continues John Bowlby''s influential work on the importance of the parental relationship to mental health. Here he considers separation and the anxiety that accompanies it: the fear of imminent or anticipated separation, the fear induced by parental threats of separation, and the inversion of the parent-child relationship. Dr Bowlby re-examines the situations that cause us to feel fear and compares them with evidence from animals. He concludes that fear is initially aroused by certain elemental situations - sudden movement, darkness or separation - which, although intrinsically harmless, are indicative of an increased risk of danger.Attachment and Loss is a deeply important series of works that continue to influence the landscape of psychoanalysis and psychology, and its second volume, Separation, provides a unique exploration of anxiety in the parent-child relationship.Trade Review"The publication of Attachment and Loss will prove a turning point in the history of psychoanalysis and psychology generally." Times Literary Supplement "It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of Dr Bowlby's work...In practical terms, his ideas have modified and will continue to influence the rearing of children and the treatment of those who are disturbed. In theoretical terms, his contributions have given psychoanalysis a shot in the arm and a biological perspective which was sadly lacking." -- Anthony Storr Sunday Times

To the famous opening line of that book - ''Life is difficult'' he now adds ''Life is complex''. But the greatest challenge, he reminds us, is to learn to deal with life''s conflicts, problems and paradoxes to find the true simplicity that lies on the other side of complexity. The journey to serenity and inner peace, Dr Peck writes, can only be made with increasing self-awareness and social awareness. There are no easy answers for complex problems.
