Everything we do, and sense, happens through our brain. In Coaching the Brain: Practical Applications of Neuroscience to Coaching, highly experienced coaches Joseph O’Connor and Andrea Lages ask and answer the question: ‘How can we use our knowledge of the brain to help ourselves and others to learn, change, and develop?’. This book will show you how to apply insights from the latest neuroscience research in a practical way, in the fields of personal development, coaching and cognitive therapy. Accessible and practical, it begins with an overview of how the brain works along with an explanation of how our brain changes due to our actions and thoughts, illuminating how these habits can be changed through neuroplasticity. Understanding the neuroscience of goals and mental models helps us to work with and change them, and clarity about emotions and the emotional basis of values can help achieve happiness. Most importantly, neuroscience illuminates how we learn, as well as the power of expectations. The book also explores the key lessons we can take from neuroscience for high performance and leadership. Eminently accessible, this book gives you new tools to help yourself and others create better futures. As a whole, the book will provide you with a new respect for the depth and complexity of your thinking and emotions. Coaching the Brain: Practical Applications of Neuroscience to Coaching, with its clarity and practical application, will be essential reading for coaches in practice and in training, as well as leaders, coach supervisors and HR and L&D professionals, and will be a key text for academics and students of coaching and coaching psychology.

Listen. Can you hear an aircraft passing overhead? A dog barking? The twittering of birds? In straining to listen, you have just sent a surge of electrical activity through millions of brain cells. In choosing to do this with your mind, you have changed your brain - you have made brain cells fire, at the side of your head, above the right eye. By the time you've read this far, you will have changed your brain permanently. These words will leave a faint trace in the woven electricity of you. For 'you' exists in the trembling web of connected brain cells. This web is in flux, continually remoulded, sculpted by the restless energy of the world. That energy is transformed at your senses into the utterly unique weave of brain connections that is YOU. New research has demonstrated the way in which the brain is shaped by experience and sculpted by our interactions with the world around us. As one of the world's leading authorities on brain rehabilitation, Ian Robertson is uniquely placed to explore these ground-breaking discoveries, that free us from the currently fashionable genetically determinist view. Mind Sculpture is a singularly accessible and imaginative book which communicates the excitement and challenge of the most recent research, its consequences for how we understand the brain and how we perceive ourselves.

Los grandes descubrimientos científicos y tecnológicos realizados desde el siglo xx nos han abocado a un drástico cambio, no siempre fácil de asumir, en la forma de percibir y entender el universo, la naturaleza, nuestras relaciones sociales y a nosotros mismos como individuos. Al mismo tiempo, estos descubrimientos nos han dotado de nuevas herramientas que nos están permitiendo abrir la caja negra del cerebro y realizar observaciones sobre el mismo. De este modo, no solo se está logrando derivar nuevas teorías sobre el funcionamiento del cerebro, sino que nos ayuda a comprender mejor la naturaleza humana y el comportamiento de las personas a escala individual y en el ámbito de sus relaciones sociales, incluidas las relaciones que se establecen en la esfera económica y en los entornos laborales. El propósito fundamental de este libro es mostrar cómo los descubrimientos realizados en las ciencias en general y en el área de la neurociencia en particular tienen una extraordinaria relevancia en el seno de las organizaciones empresariales entendidas como nodos fundamentales que configuran la actividad económica así como entornos donde se produce un importante tipo de relaciones sociales, las relaciones laborales. Concretamente, la aplicación de estos descubrimientos al área de la gestión empresarial desvela la necesidad de reconstruir las teorías de gestión bajo un nuevo paradigma y el suministro de un amplio conjunto de procedimientos y saberes basados en el “ser” en vez de en el “hacer” que se constituyen como herramientas imprescindibles a la hora de dirigir con éxito el rumbo de organizaciones y empresas en un entorno económico donde la única constante es el cambio. De todo ello se extrae una bella lección, una moraleja que nos convence de cómo es posible lograr un juego de suma positiva en la gestión empresarial a todos sus niveles aumentando las ventajas competitivas de la empresa al mismo tiempo que se fomenta la creatividad, la colaboración, la empatía, y el entendimiento mutuo. En definitiva, una gestión adecuada al entorno actual pasa por aceptar, comprender, valorar y aprovechar las extraordinarias capacidades de las personas en toda su extensión, físicas, intelectuales, emocionales e irracionales.

bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown presents a much easier way to write books and technical publications than traditional tools such as LaTeX and Word. The bookdown package inherits the simplicity of syntax and flexibility for data analysis from R Markdown, and extends R Markdown for technical writing, so that you can make better use of document elements such as figures, tables, equations, theorems, citations, and references. Similar to LaTeX, you can number and cross-reference these elements with bookdown. Your document can even include live examples so readers can interact with them while reading the book. The book can be rendered to multiple output formats, including LaTeX/PDF, HTML, EPUB, and Word, thus making it easy to put your documents online. The style and theme of these output formats can be customized. We used books and R primarily for examples in this book, but bookdown is not only for books or R. Most features introduced in this book also apply to other types of publications: journal papers, reports, dissertations, course handouts, study notes, and even novels. You do not have to use R, either. Other choices of computing languages include Python, C, C++, SQL, Bash, Stan, JavaScript, and so on, although R is best supported. You can also leave out computing, for example, to write a fiction. This book itself is an example of publishing with bookdown and R Markdown, and its source is fully available on GitHub.
