Change your mindset, change the game | Dr. Alia Crum | TEDxTraverseCity


This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Dr. Crum says the biggest game changer is “YOU, by harnessing the power of your mind." She explores scientific results that show the influence of the mindset on the body, and how changing the subjective mindset produced different outcomes. Dr. Crums work is inspired in part by the placebo effect, and has implications that stretch far beyond the realm of medicine.

Dr. Crum is a professor, psychologist, and researcher investigating how mindsets affect health and behavior.

Dr. Crums research focuses on how changes in subjective mindsets—the lenses through which information is perceived, organized, and interpreted—can alter objective reality through behavioral, psychological, and physiological mechanisms. Her work is, in part, inspired by research on the placebo effect, a notable and consistent demonstration of the ability of the mindset to elicit healing properties in the body. She is interested in understanding how mindsets affect important outcomes outside the realm of medicine, in the domains of behavioral health and organizational behavior.

The Poverty Paradox: Why Most Poverty Programs Fail And How To Fix Them | Efosa Ojomo | TEDxGaborone


How can we eradicate poverty? That is the question that underpins a majority of development programs. But what if by asking that question, we are limiting our capacity to actually eradicate poverty and create prosperity? In this heartfelt and passionate talk, Efosa Ojomo explains how our framing of the problem of poverty is hindering our progress. He suggests a different way to solve the global poverty problem.

An alumnus of the prestigious Forum for Growth and Innovation Center at the Harvard Business School (HBS), Ojomo works alongside colleague and mentor Professor Clay Christensen in their shared goal to discover, develop and disseminate robust and accessible theory in the areas of disruptive innovation and general management as it relates to economic development.

Ojomo’s body of work will ultimately help entrepreneurs, policy makers and development practitioners spur prosperity in their regions.

Specifically, Ojomo’s research examines how emerging markets in sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South America, and Asia can engender prosperity for their citizens by focusing on investments in market creating innovations, such as M-PESA, the mobile money transfer platform in Kenya.

Ojomo graduated with honors from Vanderbilt University with a degree in computer engineering. He earned his MBA from Harvard Business School.

Сидни Шелдон. Гнев ангелов. Часть 1 из 3.


жанр: детективы, триллеры
Ключевой фигурой романа является Дженнифер Паркер – умная, образованная девушка, только что окончившая юридический факультет. Она мечтает о блестящей карьере адвоката. Но ее путь к успеху долог и тернист: просто однажды она оказалось не в том месте на в то время. Героиня отличается упорством и трудолюбием, и она решила во что бы то ни стало получить свое место под солнцем. Хоть на роман и можно приклеить ярлык «женский роман», но, скорее всего, что история Дженнифер будет интересна не только женщинам, но и мужчинам, учитывая динамичность и непредсказуемость сюжетной линии.

Вячеслав Рыбаков - ЗИМА.


«Возможно, кто-то, как и он, еще отсиживался в подвалах, убежищах, бункерах. Возможно, кто-то еще не замерз в Антарктиде. Вполне возможно, в стынущих темных глубинах еще дохаживали свое подлодки, снуло шевеля плавниками винтов и рулей. Все не имело значения. Этот человек ощущал себя последним и поэтому был последним.» Читает Олег Булдаков.
