Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. People everywhere are moved by the power of groups, whether it's at a concert, in a congregation or at a political rally. The new science of consciousness research has proven that invisible energies are the key to this power, and the pre-eminent laboratory for studying these forces is an unexpected location: at the ballpark. In The Joy of Sox: Weird Science and the Power of Intention, Harvard psychiatrist Rick Leskowitz describes how his lifelong love of the Boston Red Sox helped him discover that the principles of energy medicine and intentionality research explain the intangibles in sports: the home field advantage, the electricity in the crowd, team chemistry and the prayers of fans. Read about computer studies that measure fan energy in the ballpark, lab tests that prove how positive emotions are contagious, and learn how energetically savvy fans can enhance their team's performance. This book even answers the age-old question: is your favorite sports stadium a sacred space? The Joy of Sox starts by laying a foundation of scientific evidence in support of these mysterious forces. It then charts the path by which these ideas have unfolded during Dr. Leskowitz's production of a documentary film of the same name, that led him to interview ballplayers, fans and scientists (including such Hall of Famers as Larry Dossey, William Tiller, Dean Radin, Donna Eden, Esther Hicks and Michael Murphy). The book's final section is a series of energy exercises that show fans - of any sport, in any town - how to maximize their team's performance by tapping into their own heartfelt enthusiasm and transmitting it most effectively to their team. This book is a Trojan Horse - it brings esoteric research into the social mainstream while camouflaged as a book about popular sports. But by uncovering the New Science concepts that underly the familiar events of baseball, The Joy of Sox works its transformative magic on our teams, our selves and our society.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. How Far Away Is Never is a true life story about WI, as seen through the eyes of a child from Croatia. She tells of her happy times and subsequent misery under Tito's Yugoslavia.

The footprints she left across the Austrian mountains in her wooden shoes may still be there, but at war's end it was her faith and Catholic Church that bound her wounds and kept the beacons of hope alive. However dimly it burned, Croatia was always with her.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. During the first half of the 20th century most American managers were trained to believe that simple solutions to business problems were the successful solutions, and that complex solutions were suspect. This conviction worked very well during the first half of the 20th century when the prescription for success was: 'make it as simple as possible'. This prescription will become dangerous during the turbulent 21st century when simple responses are guaranteed to fail. This book is written on a prescription for success offered by the renowned physicist Albert Einstein. Translated into managerial language this prescription states: MAKE THE ORGANIZATION'S RESPONSE TO THE ENVIRONMENT AS SIMPLE AS POSIBLE, BUT NOT SIMPLER. Since the business environment of the 21st century is very complex, the readers should be prepared to cope with substantial complexity. This book offers the behind the scenes ways to cope with this complexity.…
