Recoding America Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better【電子書籍】[ Jennifer Pahlka ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2023＜/strong＞＜br /＞＜strong＞Named one of Ezra Klein's "Books That Explain Where We Are in 2023," ＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Learn more about＜/strong＞ Jennifer Pahlka's work at recodingamerica.us.＜/p＞＜p＞“The book I wish every policymaker would read.”＜br /＞ー＜strong＞Ezra Klein, ＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞A bold call to reexamine how our government operatesーand sometimes fails to＜/strong＞ー＜strong＞from President Obama’s former deputy chief technology officer and the founder of Code for America＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Just when we most need our government to workーto decarbonize our infrastructure and economy, to help the vulnerable through a pandemic, to defend ourselves against global threatsーit is faltering. Government at all levels has limped into the digital age, offering online services that can feel even more cumbersome than the paperwork that preceded them and widening the gap between the policy outcomes we intend and what we get.＜/p＞＜p＞But it’s not more money or more tech we need. Government is hamstrung by a rigid, industrial-era culture, in which elites dictate policy from on high, disconnected from and too often disdainful of the details of implementation. Lofty goals morph unrecognizably as they cascade through a complex hierarchy. But there is an approach taking hold that keeps pace with today’s world and reclaims government for the people it is supposed to serve. Jennifer Pahlka shows why we must stop trying to move the government we have today onto new technology and instead consider what it would mean to truly recode American government.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,823円

Broken Money Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better【電子書籍】[ Lyn Alden ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A Comprehensive Overview of the Past, Present, and Future of Money＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Broken Money＜/em＞ explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently. The book's goal is for the reader to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications.＜/p＞＜p＞From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the reader through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages. And beyond that, Alden explores the concept of what money is at its very foundation to give the reader a framework to analyze and compare different types of monetary technologies and monetary theories.＜/p＞＜p＞The book also takes a distinctively ＜em＞human＜/em＞ look at how money impacts the lives of real people, and how new monetary technologies shape the power structures within society.＜/p＞＜p＞In the modern era, energy abundance and technological enhancements have broadly improved human well-being, but the global monetary system has been slow to keep up. There are over 160 active currencies in the world, each with a local monopoly over its own country, and with little or no acceptance elsewhere. Many of them are rapidly diluted, which continually devalues the savings and the wages of the billions of people who live and work within those jurisdictions. Being born in the "wrong" country makes saving money far harder than it needs to be.＜/p＞＜p＞Nigeria has a population of over 200 million people and has averaged 13% annualized inflation over the past decade. Egypt cut its currency in half relative to the dollar twice over the past decade, which instantly devalued the savings and wages of its 100 million citizens. Dozens of countries have experienced at least triple-digit year-over-year inflation within the past four decades, including Brazil that outright hyperinflated in the 1990s while it was the fifth most populous country in the world.＜/p＞＜p＞Europe and Japan had $18 trillion worth of negative-yielding bonds in 2019, right before a wave of inflation wiped their purchasing power away. In 2021, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve dismissed the idea that the sharp rise in the money supply from the pandemic stimulus would lead to price inflation. By 2022, as major inflation emerged, the chairman rapidly changed his outlook and tightened monetary policy so quickly that it led to the failure of some of the largest banks in the country.＜/p＞＜p＞How did we get to this point? Why isn't our money ＜em＞better＜/em＞ than this in the 21st century? ＜em＞Broken Money＜/em＞ answers these questions by examining the current mix of technology that has led to these limitations, and then explores emerging technologies that may be able to provide us with a monetary system that is fit for the modern era.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,383円
Is Democracy Failing? A primer for the 21st century【電子書籍】[ Niheer Dasandi ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Only four countries around the world do not currently define themselves as democracies. But many more do not fulfil the four basic requirements of democracy: free and fair elections, active participation of citizens in politics, protection of human rights, and the rule of law. Since 2015, far-right and populist politicians have been on the rise throughout the West. Is populism the new face of democracy? Is democracy simply the will of the people? Can any existing government claim to be truly democratic? This captivating, articulate volume explores and interrogates each form of democracy and questions whether they remain fit for purpose today.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	462円

Rescue Your Failing Brain Before It's Too Late! Optimize All Hormones. Increase Oxygen and Stimulation. Steady Blood Sugar. Decrease Inflammation. Improve Immunity. Heal Leaky Gut. Detoxifify.【電子書籍】[ J.M. Swartz M.D. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In this book, “RESCUE YOUR FAILING BRAIN BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!” you will learn simple action steps to prevent and reverse brain degeneration. It is easy to ignore subtle signs of mental deterioration. But if you don’t take action now, sooner or later you may end up with serious cognitive issues like my mother, who was found by the neighbors wandering around naked in the middle of the night. Act now, before it is too late! We have been taught to believe that nothing can be done once you get Alzheimer’s disease. If told that you have it, you are counseled to get your affairs in order now while you can still make decisions, because you will not be able to make decisions as the disease progresses. Unfortunately, this advice is still being given out. But, it does not have to be true. There is something that we can do. Alzheimer’s disease is not only preventable, but is also reversible, especially in the early stages. Individualized programs can be developed to specifically address each person’s problem areas. We can identify and address the causes. Many of these causes revolve around diet and lifestyle. Common causes include antibiotic use, prediabetes, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. If no action is taken now, your symptoms will probably progress over time. If you notice that you are losing your memory abilities, think about how long you have noticed this and think how much it has progressed over the last year or over the last two years. This is a clue to how fast the brain degeneration is happening. You may notice that the degeneration is speeding up as time goes on. Next year will be even faster. Waiting until your memory declines even further is the worst thing that you can do. This is the mistake made by standard-of-care health care. If you notice symptoms, you must take matters into your own hands and not depend on your primary-care physician to act. If you are determined to get your brain working better, it won’t be hard. With diligent application of the strategies that you will learn in this book, your brain will reverse gears, bursting out of the sickening downhill slide of memory, mood, cognition, energy, and digestion, and into the recovery of lost abilities. Follow the advice given in this book to stop your brain from degenerating further and to begin to rehabilitate your lost brain health. Learn how to prevent and reverse the progression of dementia and other cognitive problems in yourself and in your loved ones.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,257円

Misguided Advice: How Parenting Trends Are Failing the Next Generation and What We Can Do About It【電子書籍】[ Ernestina E. Rogers ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The landscape of modern parenting is littered with well-meaning advice, trends, and fads. But beneath the surface, a troubling reality is emerging: many of these widely accepted practices are doing more harm than good. ＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ uncovers the hidden dangers of today's parenting trends and exposes how they are inadvertently hindering the development of our children. It's time to confront these trends head-on and shift our focus to what truly nurtures the next generation.＜/p＞＜p＞The book begins by questioning the foundational beliefs that have shaped popular parenting advice. It explores how social media, well-intentioned parenting experts, and influencers have shaped what it means to be a "good" parent in today's world. Through this lens, it critically examines the consequences of these trends, such as over-scheduling, hyper-competition, and the pressure to constantly entertain or stimulate children. It highlights the subtle ways these practices can erode self-confidence, foster anxiety, and create unrealistic expectations for both parents and children.＜/p＞＜p＞Rather than offering yet another list of "dos and don'ts," ＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ takes a deep, introspective look at the cultural forces that have driven parenting decisions over the past few decades. It shows how societal pressures have led to a shift away from fostering emotional resilience, independence, and critical thinking in children. The book examines how these trends often prioritize short-term comfort over long-term growth, creating a generation ill-equipped to face challenges with confidence and grace.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ encourages parents to reevaluate what really matters in raising children. It shifts the conversation from surface-level techniques to the deeper, more meaningful principles that promote mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The book advocates for a return to foundational parenting practicesーthose that emphasize trust, boundaries, and respect for a child's innate abilities. It teaches that the true goal of parenting is not to shelter children from every difficulty but to guide them in developing the skills they need to thrive in a complex, sometimes harsh world.＜/p＞＜p＞The book identifies several common trends that have gained traction in recent years, only to prove to be counterproductive. It explores the consequences of the overuse of technology and its impact on social skills, attention spans, and emotional regulation. It critiques the push toward constant achievement and the culture of "perfection" that puts undue pressure on children to be exceptional in every area of their lives. ＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ challenges the current obsession with academic success at the expense of other critical areas of personal development, such as creativity, resilience, and empathy.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ also addresses the impact of these parenting trends on family dynamics. It explores how the pressure to conform to societal standards has strained relationships between parents and children, and between parents themselves. The book provides practical advice for creating a family environment that promotes connection, mutual respect, and shared values, rather than one that is driven by external expectations and cultural norms.＜/p＞＜p＞Ultimately, ＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ is not just a critique of current parenting trends; it's a call to action. It urges parents to reclaim their authority, trust their instincts, and make choices based on what truly benefits their children in the long term. The book provides a roadmap for shifting the focus from perfectionism and achievement to the cultivation of character, resilience, and emotional well-being. By rejecting the fleeting trends and returning to time-tested principles, parents can raise a generation that is grounded, capable, and ready to take on the challenges of the future.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,750円
The Bottom Billion Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It【電子書籍】[ Paul Collier ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In the universally acclaimed and award-winning ＜em＞The Bottom Billion＜/em＞, Paul Collier reveals that fifty failed states--home to the poorest one billion people on Earth--pose the central challenge of the developing world in the twenty-first century. The book shines much-needed light on this group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, that are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world's people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards. A struggle rages within each of these nations between reformers and corrupt leaders--and the corrupt are winning. Collier analyzes the causes of failure, pointing to a set of traps that ensnare these countries, including civil war, a dependence on the extraction and export of natural resources, and bad governance. Standard solutions do not work, he writes; aid is often ineffective, and globalization can actually make matters worse, driving development to more stable nations. What the bottom billion need, Collier argues, is a bold new plan supported by the Group of Eight industrialized nations. If failed states are ever to be helped, the G8 will have to adopt preferential trade policies, new laws against corruption, new international charters, and even conduct carefully calibrated military interventions. Collier has spent a lifetime working to end global poverty. In ＜em＞The Bottom Billion＜/em＞, he offers real hope for solving one of the great humanitarian crises facing the world today. "Set to become a classic. Crammed with statistical nuggets and common sense, his book should be compulsory reading." --＜em＞The Economist＜/em＞ "If Sachs seems too saintly and Easterly too cynical, then Collier is the authentic old Africa hand: he knows the terrain and has a keen ear.... If you've ever found yourself on one side or the other of those arguments--and who hasn't?--then you simply must read this book." --Niall Ferguson, ＜em＞The New York Times Book Review＜/em＞ "Rich in both analysis and recommendations.... Read this book. You will learn much you do not know. It will also change the way you look at the tragedy of persistent poverty in a world of plenty." --＜em＞Financial Times＜/em＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,490円
Out of Her Mind: How We Are Failing Women's Mental Health and What Must Change - Linda Gask (Cambridge University Press) 【紙書籍】 9781009382465 Roundabout Books	タイトル: Out of Her Mind: How We Are Failing Women's Mental Health and What Must Change著者: Linda Gask出版社: Cambridge University Press出版日: 2024年10月10日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。For centuries so called 'difficult women' have been labelled as 'hysterical' and 'out of their minds'. Today they wait longer for health diagnoses, often being told it's 'all in their heads'. Although healthcare systems are overburdened, why are women the first to feel the effects of this? Why is it so hard for women to find the kind of help they need? Why is no one listening to them? And why have so many lost faith in mental healthcare? Drawing on the lived experiences of women, alongside expert commentators, recent history, current events, and her own personal and professional experience, Dr Linda Gask explores women's mental healthcare today. In doing so she confronts her role as a psychiatrist, recalling experiences treating women and as a woman who has received mental healthcare, illustrating the dire need for more change, faster. Women can't all be out of their minds.	7,762円

And yet all is not well, Richard Florida argues in ＜em＞The New Urban Crisis＜/em＞. Florida, one of the first scholars to anticipate this back-to-the-city movement in his groundbreaking ＜em＞The Rise of the Creative Class＜/em＞, demonstrates how the same forces that power the growth of the world's superstar cities also generate their vexing challenges: gentrification, unaffordability, segregation, and inequality. Meanwhile, many more cities still stagnate, and middle-class neighborhoods everywhere are disappearing. Our winner-take-all cities are just one manifestation of a profound crisis in today's urbanized knowledge economy.＜/p＞＜p＞A bracingly original work of research and analysis, ＜em＞The New Urban Crisis＜/em＞ offers a compelling diagnosis of our economic ills and a bold prescription for more inclusive cities capable of ensuring growth and prosperity for all.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,693円

Born in Singapore to an uneducated mother and an alcoholic, abusive father, Hong grew up in severe poverty. She attended school against her parents' wishes. Despite her intellectual curiosity, she consistently failed her subjects because she couldn't keep up with the fast-paced, competitive, shame-inducing educational style.＜/p＞＜p＞Hong's eloquent present-tense narration animates scenes of family strife and academic struggle and evokes an astounding range of emotions--commiseration, frustration, and eventually elation. Something is always developing, whether it's the narrator herself or the plot.＜/p＞＜p＞Though the memoir charts the author's intellectual growth, it also considers complex family relationships, poverty, Southeast Asian culture and education, disability, and determination. Hong demonstrates, through her own experiences, the pleasures and rewards of scholarship and effective teaching, and her account underscores how ordinary people can have life-changing effects on others.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞To read the full review, visit: kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/barbara-hong/failing-up/＜/strong＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,627円

Tanked Why the British Economy is Failing and How to Fix It【電子書籍】[ Paul Wallace ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In the autumn of 2022, Liz Truss took Britain on a journey into economic la-la land and comprehensively tanked the economy. The result? Higher mortgages and rents, soaring inflation, debt at an eye-watering 〓2.7 trillion, and a sluggish economy rapidly falling behind our (ex-)European partners. As economic journalist Paul Wallace argues in this incisive, expert and accessible book, this was the low point of a once supercharged economy that, over the past 15 years, has failed to recover from the financial crash of 2008.＜br /＞ Written across ten chapters tackling the most important issues - Brexit, debt, the City, immigration, manufacturing, levelling up and public services - Wallace asks, in clear, jargon-free prose, what the problems are and what we can do to solve them.

Joe Biden Tweets During the First Year of His Failing Presidency, Volume One Reversing Trump, while Dividing and Destroying America, January through June 2021【電子書籍】[ Gary F. Zeolla ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Joseph R. Biden Jr. was inaugurated as President of the United States (POTUS) on January 20, 2021. In his inauguration speech, Biden gave glowing remarks about his goal being to unite America and to “Build Back Better.” But in fact, his main goal seems to have been to reverse everything his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, accomplished during his four years as President. Never mind if a policy was benefiting America, if Trump did it, it had to be reversed. This reversal of Trump’s policies did little to unite and benefit America. Instead, Biden’s policies began alienating the half of Americans who supported Trump for those very policies. By reversing Trump’s beneficial policies, Biden began destroying America, as his presidency began to be failing. Biden’s early actions also set the stage for more failures later in his presidency, so it is important to remember them. On the day Biden was inaugurated, he took over the @POTUS account on Twitter and began tweeting profusely. His tweets promoted his “Build Back Better” policies. But with them being a reversal of Trump’s policies, they were often subtle attacks on Trump and his supporters. This two-volume set reproduces Biden’s tweets for the first year of his presidency. It also includes my comments I posted on Twitter in response to his tweets. Some of my comments were added later and reflect later developments. I have also added an occasional “Extended Comment” to provide further context and commentary to some tweets. This Volume One of this two-volume set records all of Biden’s tweets from January 20, 2021 to the end of July 2021. Volume Two will cover his tweets from the beginning of August 2021 to January 20, 2022.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	618円

SLAVE SCHOOLS: Why Are Black Students Held in Bondage of Failing Schools? A Guidebook for Parents and Policymakers【電子書籍】[ Armand A. Fusco Ed.D. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞SLAVE SCHOOLS WHY ARE BLACK STUDENTS HELD IN BONDAGE OF FAILING (SLAVE) SCHOOLS? Abstract This book is unique because it’s two books in one: Pt I includes all minorities to 2012; Pt II concentrates on black issues between 2012 to 2024 encompassing the racial agenda known as Critical Race Theory based on past slavery. However, it omits white slavery that started sooner, lasted longer and it was cheaper to buy white slaves than black slaves. More striking is that absolutely no mention is made of present-day bondageーslavery--where blacks are required by law to attend failing City Schools. Although there have been national and state reforms to close the achievement gap between blacks and whites none had succeeded. Among the efforts to do so is to eliminate meritocracyーmeasurementsーand without testing there is no gap to measure. Another effort is simply to lower standards which 37 states have done. Furthermore, to hide the problem is introducing a major disruptor that does nothing to improve academic achievement such as the racial agenda that is causing money woes, chaos and conflict among parents and school officials. In its extreme form the concept is infused in every school subject K-12 requiring indoctrination rather than education. That’s the real issue causing the conflict. The problem is vividly illustrated with on the 2022 NAEP results with 75% of students below proficiency in math and 67% below in reading with blacks at 16%. Then followed by test two states, the Connecticut Enigma; and the simple solution with the Mississippi Miracle. Very important is a step-by-step approach to show what blacks can do to bring pressure on school officials and school boards to close or turnaround failing schools by kneeling and striking. When all else fails, then do the school board nightmare.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	552円

Women and the Criminal Justice System Failing Victims and Offenders?【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Bringing together academics and professionals, this edited collection considers key issues in current criminal justice policy and practice related specifically to women to answer the important question: are women being failed by the criminal justice system? In a landscape where women’s involvement in the criminal justice system still tends to be ignored or lost in discussions about men, contributors place special emphasis on women as both victims and offenders. The chapters cover a wide range of topics relating to women and crime, including: violent and sexual victimisation, violent offending, sentencing and punishment, and rape myths.＜/p＞＜p＞Since the peak of feminist criminal justice scholarship in the 1990s, the place of women in the criminal justice system has arguably slipped down the agenda and the authors of this collection draw on original research to make the compelling case for a swift remedy to this. Drawing on recent academic studies and professional experience to set anagenda for future research ? as well as legal and policy reform ? this book injects new life into the dialogue surrounding women and the criminal justice system. Innovative and timely, this collection of essays holds broad appeal to academics and practitioners, as well as students of criminology, criminal justice and law, and all those with an interest in feminism, justice, and inequality.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	18,231円

Never Enough for Yourself: The Fear of Being Seen, the Fear of Failing, and the Anxiety That Keeps You Paralyzed【電子書籍】[ Walter L. Joyce ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞For those caught in the relentless grip of self-doubt, there is a silent, ever-present fear that keeps them from moving forward. A fear of being seen, of showing their true selves to the worldーcoupled with a constant, nagging anxiety about failing. These emotions don't just hinder progress; they paralyze, keeping you locked in a cycle of inaction, constantly second-guessing, and unable to move toward your goals with confidence.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Never Enough for Yourself＜/strong＞＜/em＞ dives deep into this paralyzing fear, providing an insightful exploration of the psychological factors at play. It uncovers how the fear of exposureーthe anxiety that accompanies the idea of being judged or scrutinizedーprevents people from living authentically. This book takes a hard look at why we avoid being seen for who we truly are, how we sabotage our own potential, and the cost of living in this self-imposed hiding.＜/p＞＜p＞Throughout this book, readers will gain a clear understanding of how the fear of failure and the overwhelming sense of never being ＜strong＞"enough"＜/strong＞ keep them locked in a state of constant self-doubt. The narrative doesn't just highlight the problem; it dissects the internal dialogue, offering a clear map of the mind's constant battle between ambition and insecurity. It challenges the idea that failure is something to be avoided at all costs and shows how this mindset actually limits growth.＜/p＞＜p＞Each chapter is dedicated to unmasking a layer of fear that holds people backーfear of being judged, fear of being vulnerable, fear of not measuring up. By dissecting the nuances of these fears, the book reveals how they quietly dictate actions, keeping the individual from taking risks or stepping into new opportunities. The narrative brings light to the fact that these fears are often rooted in deeper insecurities, learned behaviors, and societal expectations that have been internalized over time.＜/p＞＜p＞What becomes clear is that the anxiety driving these fears isn't merely about the fear of external judgment or failure. It is a fear rooted in the very core of self-worth. The idea of never being enough creates a deep sense of inadequacy, which further reinforces the cycle of avoidance and paralysis. The book shows how individuals are caught in this loop, never quite able to embrace their full potential because they are trapped in a state of constant self-criticism.＜/p＞＜p＞Through real-life examples and insightful analysis, ＜em＞＜strong＞Never Enough for Yourself＜/strong＞＜/em＞ shows how fear manifests in various aspects of lifeーfrom work to relationships, from creativity to self-expression. The constant pressure to prove oneself, to meet expectations, and to avoid mistakes, prevents people from taking the necessary steps toward success. The book explores how even those with apparent outward success can be secretly drowning in their own insecurities, afraid that any misstep will expose their inadequacies.＜/p＞＜p＞But the book does not leave readers in this state of helplessness. It also provides practical guidance for how to break free from these fears and anxieties. Through a series of exercises and strategies, it empowers readers to challenge the beliefs that fuel their self-doubt. The book encourages shifting the focus away from perfection and external validation to self-compassion and acceptance. It offers tools to help readers confront their fears head-on, allowing them to take the necessary steps toward personal growth and self-empowerment.＜/p＞＜p＞What readers will find most valuable is the sense of clarity they will gain from this book. It's not about simply identifying fears but understanding how these fears operate and how to disrupt them. By understanding the mechanisms behind the fear of failure and the anxiety of never being enough, readers can start to shift their mindset and take bold actions without being paralyzed by self-doubt.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,050円

The Broken Branch How Congress Is Failing America and How to Get It Back on Track【電子書籍】[ Thomas E. Mann ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞The Broken Branch＜/em＞ offers both a brilliant diagnosis of the cause of Congressional decline and a much-needed blueprint for change, from two experts who understand politics and revere our institutions, but believe that Congress has become deeply dysfunctional. Mann and Ornstein, two of the nation's most renowned and judicious scholars of government and politics, bring to light the historical roots of Congress's current maladies, examining 40 years of uninterrupted Democratic control of the House and the stunning midterm election victory of 1994 that propelled Republicans into the majority in both House and Senate. The byproduct of that long and grueling but ultimately successful Republican campaign, the authors reveal, was a weakened institution bitterly divided between the parties. They highlight the dramatic shift in Congress from a highly decentralized, committee-based institution into a much more regimented one in which party increasingly trumps committee. The resultant changes in the policy process--the demise of regular order, the decline of deliberation, and the weakening of our system of checks and balances--have all compromised the role of Congress in the American Constitutional system. From tax cuts to the war against Saddam Hussein to a Medicare prescription drug benefit, the Legislative process has been bent to serve immediate presidential interests and have often resulted in poorly crafted and stealthily passed laws. Strong majority leadership in Congress, the authors conclude, led not to a vigorous exertion of congressional authority but to a general passivity in the face of executive power.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	912円

Functional Aspects of the Normal, Hypertrophied, and Failing Heart【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞These Proceedings are from the Fifth Annual Meeting of the American Section of the International Society for Heart Research held at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, September 21-24, 1983. The program and abstracts were published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, Vol. 15, Supplement 4, September 1983, Academic Press. This Symposium Proceedings consists of three sections. Section I deals with the mechanical factors and their i'nfluence on coronary blood flow in the normal and failing heart. Section II is developed around the area of vascular smooth muscle and the factors that may control it which ultimately play such an important role in the regulation of coronary blood flow. Section III is primarily devoted to the mechanical aspects of the function of the heart in both hypertrophy and failure including the molecular changes in the myocyte, alterations in neural control, and in inotropic responsiveness of the hypertrophied and failing heart. The editors hope that these three areas encompass a significant body of new and ongoing information that will be helpful to those who work in these areas as well as those who treat patients with varying degrees of myocardial failure or with compromised coronary circulations. The editors express their appreciation to all the contributors and to Ms. Jeri B. McClain for assisting in the organization and compiling of this volume. Francis L. Abel, M. D. , Ph. D. Walter H.
