The Get Productive Grid by Magdalena Bak-Maier Pdf

Want to stop being held hostage by deadlines? Tired of seeing what truly matters rarely getting completed? Would you like to live a fuller life? One where you achieve results, have a rewarding personal life whilst nurturing your whole personal and professional being? The Grid can unlock the secret to success for you... Magdalena Bak-Maier, trained neuroscientist (PhD, Caltech), top coach and author of Get Productive! provocatively suggests that you can 'have it all'. In this her second book, Bak-Maier shows how to cultivate balance and truly thrive using her original, tested, creative and easy to master Grid system. The Grid is for you if you find yourself saying... 'I work hard but feel I'm not getting anywhere.' 'I lack time for life outside my work (dating, hobbies, friends, holidays or family).' 'My to-do list is never-ending.' 'I don't have energy for anything other than work and need weekends to recover.' 'I'm settling for less because "having it all" seems unattainable.' Too many lives are skewed towards work, careers, care for others and neglect of self she says. What's even worse, many people hardly notice how out of balance their lives have become while they "chase their tail," feel stressed, overwhelmed and unfulfilled. Bak-Maier makes a case for an attractive alternative using her tried and tested Grid method. This practical book sets out to help you transform your life by teaching you how to surf your energy so that instead of tiring and reacting to life, you continuously refuel your heart and mind to be the artist of it. The Grid shows you how to create results and success by engaging with key parts of life you choose to have. Once you start applying the Grid approach to your life, you will start to feel clear, inspired and energised. The Grid will help you balance your energy and effort in a way that restores you and helps you achieve more. With exercises to get you started, the Gridding process is your key to succeed, thrive and sustain yourself and others. The Grid is a useful approach for those who want results without burnout and those in leadership roles who want to model good practice and create cultures grounded in wellbeing. Committed 'Gridders' find that they live more in tune with their values, act with integrity, achieve more and find time to be spontaneous and creative more often. Their confidence soars as they see the practical steps they take towards creating lives they truly want. In other words their heart and mind get on the same track and what's important gets done more often and better than what seems urgent. This book will show you how to take the same approach and make it your own to help you truly make time count."

The Making of an Economic Superpower by Yi Wen Pdf

The rise of China is no doubt one of the most important events in world economic history since the Industrial Revolution. Mainstream economics, especially the institutional theory of economic development based on a dichotomy of extractive vs. inclusive political institutions, is highly inadequate in explaining China's rise. This book argues that only a radical reinterpretation of the history of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the West (as incorrectly portrayed by the institutional theory) can fully explain China's growth miracle and why the determined rise of China is unstoppable despite its current "backward" financial system and political institutions. Conversely, China's spectacular and rapid transformation from an impoverished agrarian society to a formidable industrial superpower sheds considerable light on the fundamental shortcomings of the institutional theory and mainstream "blackboard" economic models, and provides more-accurate reevaluations of historical episodes such as Africa's enduring poverty trap despite radical political and economic reforms, Latin America's lost decades and frequent debt crises, 19th century Europe's great escape from the Malthusian trap, and the Industrial Revolution itself. Contents: IntroductionKey Steps Taken by China to Set Off an Industrial RevolutionShedding Light on the Nature and Cause of the Industrial RevolutionWhy is China's Rise Unstoppable?Wha's Wrong with the Washington Consensus and the Institutional Theories?Case Study of Yong Lian: A Poor Village's Path to Becoming a Modern Steel TownConclusion: A New Stage Theory of Economic Development Readership: Academics, undergraduate and graduates students, journalists and professionals interested in economic development, the history of the Industrial Revolution, and especially China's economic transformation and industrial growth, as well as the political economy of governance.
