DOWNLOAD EBOOKAesthetic experience has had a long and contentious history in the Western intellectual tradition. Following Kant and Hegel, a human’s interaction with nature or art frequently has been conceptualized as separate from issues of practical activity or moral value. This book examines how art can be seen as a way of moral cultivation. Scott Stroud uses the thought of the American pragmatist John Dewey to argue that art and the aesthetic have a close connection to morality. Dewey gives us a way to reconceptualize our ideas of ends, means, and experience so as to locate the moral value of aesthetic experience in the experience of absorption itself, as well as in the experience of reflective attention evoked by an art object.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf your people know you care about them, they will move mountains. Employee engagement and loyalty expert Heather Younger outlines nine ways to manifest the radical power of caring support in the workplace. Here's the thing: most leaders think of themselves as caring leaders, but not all of them act in alignment with what that means for employees. Leaders may not be able to identify the level of care they are extending to their employees, but all employees intuitively know whether their bosses or managers are caring for them. Heather Younger argues that if you are looking for increased productivity, customer satisfaction, or employee engagement, you need to care for your employees first. Genuinely caring for people means that you want to see them succeed for themselves, not just for what they can do for you, your team, or your organization. This book incorporates ten sections with breakout stories and interviews that outline the necessary steps to make all employees feel included and cared for, as well as a call to action for all leaders. Younger states that leaders who have the positive power to change the lives of those they lead shouldn't just want to care for them; they should see it as imperative for the success of their employees and their organization.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJohn P. Weiss always wanted to be an artist and writer, but his father recommended a conservative profession. So Weiss pursued a career in law enforcement, eventually becoming chief of police. Throughout his long police career, Weiss found ways to infuse creative writing and artfulness into his work. He drew editorial cartoons and wrote touching articles for the local newspapers. He became an accomplished landscape painter and popular blogger. Weiss turned his otherwise upstanding and normal life into an artful life. An Artful Life doesn't promise its readers a one-size-fits-all remedy for living their best lives. Weiss doesn't pretend to have the answers to all of life's questions. Instead, he's in the trenches with his readers, taking the journey alongside them. An Artful Life is an electrifying collection of both fiction and nonfiction works from a man who complemented his professional career with artwork and creativity. It is a poignant and sobering work of self-help literature that acts as a constructive and easy-to-access guide to being simultaneously creative and happy.

The cases include a hospital CEO dealing with a case of sexual harassment; a bank president under pressure to remove underperforming but longtime employees; and a high-tech marketing rep who learned that his company was dumping obsolete equipment on its small customers.
