"She used to love sports, but now she just mopes around." "My kid has turned into such a slacker!" Over the course of her 25-year career, psychologist and learning expert Ellen Braaten has begun to notice a trend. More and more parents are coming to her because their kids couldn't care less about anything. How do bright, motivated young children become such unmotivated older kids and teens--and what can parents do about it? In this warm and encouraging guide, Dr. Braaten explains that kids who have lost the will to do anything (other than play video games) need more than simple encouragement or the "right" school, teacher, or coach to get back on track. Instead, Dr. Braaten helps parents understand the myriad biological, emotional, cognitive, and social factors that affect motivation--and build a plan to boost their child's confidence, incentive to learn, and engagement in life"--

"With [the book] 'Give and Take,' Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation's most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In [this book] he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn't even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo."--Amazon.com

Sheryl Sandberg heeft met veel humor en wijsheid een inspirerend boek geschreven dat zorgt voor persoonlijke groei en oproept tot actie. Lean in verandert de discus¬sie van wat vrouwen níét kunnen naar wat ze allemaal wel kunnen bereiken. Lean in is een combinatie van persoonlijke anekdotes, harde data en grondig onderzoek naar de vooroordelen rond het leven en de keuzes van werkende vrouwen. Sandberg vertelt over haar eigen beslissingen, fouten en dagelijkse worsteling om de juiste keuzes te maken voor zichzelf, haar carrière en haar familie. Ze geeft prak¬tische adviezen over onderhandelingstechnieken, het bouwen aan een bevredigende carrière, het aansporen van vrouwen om grenzen te stellen en de mythe los te laten van ‘alles doen’. En hoe mannen kunnen profiteren van het ondersteunen van vrouwen op zowel de werkvloer als thuis. Sandberg is de coo van Facebook, staat op de Fortune-lijst van ‘50 Machtigste Vrouwen’ en werd door Times uitgeroepen tot een van de invloedrijkste personen ter wereld. Ze hield een indrukwekkende TEDTalk over het feit dat we te weinig vrouwelijke leiders hebben. Deze toespraak werd meer dan twee miljoen keer bekeken en spoorde vrouwen aan om altijd uitdagingen te zoeken, risico’s te nemen en hun dromen na te jagen.
