    Sometimes it seems that no amount or combination of time optimization, side hustles, and productivity enhancement can help us rid ourselves of constant feelings that we're just not doing "enough" or that we're not doing things "right." But where can we turn to when the typical diet of self-help and motivational book therapy doesn't seem to solve the problem? In Getting Over Ourselves: Moving Beyond a Culture of Burnout, Loneliness, and Narcissism, human development specialist and leadership coach Christina Congleton delivers an incisive and timely exploration of how people, particularly millennials, can get beyond the tired clichés of the self-help genre and gain unexpected capacities to thrive and lead. The author examines how crushing student debt loads, consecutive financial crises, and a surprising uptick in depression, substance abuse, and suicide are combining to reduce the otherwise extraordinary potential of millennials everywhere. She also provides concrete strategies rooted in developmental psychology to counteract those negative influences and help people from a variety of backgrounds flourish. In this book, you'll find insights into why "life hacks," productivity seminars, and more "adulting" are not the solutions to the issues faced by the millennial generation. Instead, you'll find a framework that rejects the idea that there is a separate, solitary "self" in need of constant improvement, connecting you with your deeper humanity. You'll also discover effective techniques for fending off burnout and move beyond your unsatisfactory status quo. The antidote to the skin-deep, ineffective, and counter-productive "self-help" material you've been finding elsewhere, Getting Over Ourselves is a must-read resource for young and mid-career professionals, business leaders, members of new and growing families, and anyone else hoping to simply get more out of life. Perfect for young and mid-career professionals, business leaders, workers, people in new and growing families, and anyone seeking less "productivity enhancement" and more contentment, Getting Over Ourselves is an ideal prescription for the generation that's experienced more stress and upheaval than many others.

It is of value to business managers and those in specialist roles such as GRC, ESG, risk, compliance, quality, project management, H&S, IT, and internal audit roles.

    Japanese women are an enigma to the world. Demure and exotic, they are often portrayed as sufferers in the chauvinistic culture - for example, married women on average spend as twice as long time on chores compared to their partners. Designated to a second-class citizen status in the working world, they are ultra-minority in the decision-making positions (e.g. half of public companies have all-male boards). It is lamentable when more than thirty years have passed since the Equal Employment Act was enacted in 1987."And where are the women?" asks a perplexed Belgian CEO who freshly assumed his role at a blue-chip Japanese company, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings. This book tries to answer this question through firsthand interviews with successful senior Japanese women who have embarked on a career around 1987, thus approaching retirement. They range from corporate, entrepreneurs to academic. They are a minority compared to their male peers in the cohort, but they present a wide spectrum of how a minority can carve out a long and rewarding career. Diversity of their colorful lives tells a reality of Japanese women not relegated to a monolithic, victimized position in the society. Often their careers take an unexpected turn making them more thrilling rides than straightforward paths of men. The mentors play an important role. The role models are often amiss, but not missed by these trailblazers. It is also about riding the wave - if the employer is routing for women to ascend, why feel ashamed about seizing the opportunity? They are tales of individual struggles and triumphs. The women are funny and forthcoming. Much has changed throughout their career, but there is still a long way to go. Having been there done that, they share their observations for what needs to be done.Prefacing these stories will be the societal context within which the readers should associate each chronicle. Fresh Tracks offers lessons on individual survival and provides a recipe for further societal changes to pave the way for next generation. Each chapter will include a list of recommendations which the public and private sectors can make so Japan can further facilitate the rise of women in the working world.Key takeaways:* How to craft successful careers from an underdog position* What advantages and disadvantages Japanese society offer working women* How to make the working world more gender-equitable

    Der weltbekannte Wissenschaftler Vaclav Smil analysiert das kritische Thema der nachhaltigen Ressourcennutzung, das für Forschung und Politik von großem Interesse istIm Laufe der Zeit ist die moderne Welt von Materialströmen in ungeahntem Ausmaß abhängig geworden. Selbst die effizientesten Produktionsverfahren und ein größtmöglicher Recyclinganteil reichen möglicherweise nicht aus, um die Dematerialisierung so weit voranzutreiben, dass sie die zunehmende Nachfrage nach Materialien ausgleichen könnte, die aus dem anhaltenden Bevölkerungswachstum und steigenden Lebensstandards entsteht.In Materials and Dematerialization werden die wichtigsten Materialien der Geschichte betrachtet, von Holz und Stein über Metalle und Legierungen bis zu Kunststoffen und Silizium, mit einer Beschreibung ihrer Gewinnung bzw. Herstellung und der wichtigsten Anwendungen. In einer detaillierten Analyse werden die steigende Produktivität bei der Gewinnung und Verarbeitung, Synthese, Veredelung und Verteilung von Materialien sowie die Energiekosten und die Umweltauswirkungen des zunehmenden Materialverbrauchs untersucht. Gleichzeitig wird die Beziehung zwischen sozioökonomischer Entwicklung und Ressourcennutzung insbesondere in Bezug auf die wichtigsten Technologien und Innovationen betrachtet. Das Buch endet mit einem Ausblick auf die Zukunft. Erörtert werden dabei die Möglichkeiten der Dematerialisierung, eine mögliche Beschränkung von Materialien und eine aktualisierte Einschätzung des Materialbedarfs sowie die Prognosen für die nächsten Jahrzehnte.Nach dem großen Erfolg seiner Veröffentlichung von 2013 hat Vaclav Smil sein wegweisendes Werk nun gründlich überarbeitet. In der neuen Ausgabe werden die Fortschritte der letzten zehn Jahren herausgestellt, und auch die Statistiken und Literaturhinweise wurden auf den Stand von 2022 gebracht. Zudem enthält die aktualisierte Ausgabe neue Inhalte, die sich ausdrücklich damit befassen, welche Materialien für die globale Energiewende und die Lebensmittelsicherheit einer weiterhin wachsenden Weltbevölkerung erforderlich sind.
