The Origins of You

How Childhood Shapes Later Life

By: Jay Belsky,Avshalom Caspi,Terrie E. Moffitt,Richie Poulton

A Marginal Revolution Book of the Year After tracking the lives of thousands of people from birth to midlife, four of the world’s preeminent psychologists reveal what they have learned about how humans develop. Does temperament in childhood predict adult personality? What role do parents play in shaping how a child matures? Is day care bad—or good—for children? Does adolescent delinquency forecast a life of crime? Do genes influence success in life? Is health in adulthood shaped by childhood experiences? In search of answers to these and similar questions, four leading psychologists have spent their careers studying thousands of people, observing them as they’ve grown up and grown older. The result is unprecedented insight into what makes each of us who we are. In The Origins of You, Jay Belsky, Avshalom Caspi, Terrie Moffitt, and Richie Poulton share what they have learned about childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, about genes and parenting, and about vulnerability, resilience, and success. The evidence shows that human development is not subject to ironclad laws but instead is a matter of possibilities and probabilities—multiple forces that together determine the direction a life will take. A child’s early years do predict who they will become later in life, but they do so imperfectly. For example, genes and troubled families both play a role in violent male behavior, and, though health and heredity sometimes go hand in hand, childhood adversity and severe bullying in adolescence can affect even physical well-being in midlife. Painstaking and revelatory, the discoveries in The Origins of You promise to help schools, parents, and all people foster well-being and ameliorate or prevent developmental problems.

Clinical and Educational Interventions with Fathers

By: Jay Fagan,Alan Hawkins

Call on men's hidden strengths to help them become responsible fathers in even the most challenging circumstances!Clinical and Educational Interventions with Fathers gives you fresh approaches for effective interventions with fathers. Whether by calling on their faith to help them deal with the complexities of fatherhood or offering high-tech interventions on the Internet, these techniques help men find their strengths, maintain their masculinity, and learn to guide, nurture, and discipline with love and responsibility. Instead of thinking of fathers as deficient, the book emphasizes finding fathers’strengths and potentials for growth. It also respects the diversity of parenting styles among fathers from various ethnic, racial, and class backgrounds.No man wants to be a bad father. Nevertheless, many men in our culture do not know how to care for the children they beget. Trapped by stereotypes of masculine behavior and deprived of positive role models, they find themselves trying to do the challenging work of fatherhood without the necessary resources, information, or support.Clinical and Educational Interventions with Fathers offers positive approaches to helping men become responsible fathers, including: designing special techniques and programs to help fathers in prison and other challenging circumstances helping fathers manage anger developing therapeutic support groups for African-American men offering Web-based support for fathers training staff to recognize and respond to fathers’unique needs finding legal tools to support fathers’rights Reaching fathers has become an ever more urgent priority for practitioners as family structure and family life change. Traditional social-service programs for mothers tend not to work well with men's very different needs and attitudes. Yet very little has been published on successful interventions with fathers. Clinical and Educational Interventions with Fathers fills that gap and suggests promising new directions for further research in this field. By offering positive, tested ways to help men become responsible fathers, this volume will help you improve their lives and the lives of their sons and daughters.

Developing Informed Intuition for Decision-Making

By: Jay Liebowitz

This book examines how to develop the main traits that are necessary to become an “informed intuitant”. Case studies and examples of successful “informed intuitants” are a major component of the book. “Intuitant” is someone who has the intuitive awareness to be successful. “Informed intuitant” indicates that the individual/decision maker not only applies his/her intuition but also verifies it through using data-driven approaches (such as data analytics). Some of this work resulted from research examining how well do executives trust their intuition.

The Mindful Schools Curriculum for Adolescents: Tools for Developing Awareness

By: Oren Jay Sofer,Matthew Brensilver

Copublished with Mindful Schools A flexible set of lessons tailored to the developmental needs of adolescents, based on research in behavioral science. Arguably, no student population stands to gain more from mindfulness practice— with its power to enhance emotion regulation, attention stability, and self- awareness— than students between the ages of thirteen and twenty. In this comprehensive curriculum developed at Mindful Schools, Oren Jay Sofer and Matthew Brensilver provide twentyfive brief (twenty- to- thirty- minute) lessons that supply a framework for mindfulness instruction that can be expanded or condensed according to the needs of students. Each lesson includes a “science supplement” with research findings relevant to the practice, and handouts summarizing key aspects of the lesson that can be distributed to students. Users of the curriculum may also be interested in the instructional resource written from a similar perspective by these authors with JoAnna Hardy: Teaching Mindfulness to Empower Adolescents.

Down a Narrow Road

Identity and Masculinity in a Uyghur Community in Xinjiang China

By: Jay Dautcher

The Uyghurs, a Turkic group, account for half the population of the Xinjiang region in northwestern China. This ethnography presents a thick description of life in the Uyghur suburbs of Yining, a city near the border with Kazakhstan, and situates that account in a broader examination of Uyghur culture. Its four sections explore topics ranging from family life to market trading, from informal socializing to forms of religious devotion. Uniting these topics are an emphasis on the role folklore and personal narrative play in helping individuals situate themselves in and create communities and social groups, and a focus on how men’s concerns to advance themselves in an agonistic world of status competition shape social life in Uyghur communities. The narrative is framed around the terms identity, community, and masculinity. As the author shows, Yining’s Uyghurs express a set of individual and collective identities organized around place, gender, family relations, friendships, occupation, and religious practice. In virtually every aspect of their daily lives, individuals and families are drawn into dense and overlapping networks of social relationships, united by a shared engagement with the place of men’s status competition within daily life in the community.

News from the New American Diaspora

And Other Tales of Exile

By: Jay Neugeboren

Prize-winning novelist Jay Neugeboren's third collection of short stories focuses on Jews in various states of exile and expatriation—strangers in strange lands, far from home. These dozen tales, by an author whose stories have been selected for more than fifty anthologies, including Best American Short Stories and O. Henry Prize Stories, span the twentieth century and vividly capture brief moments in the lives of their characters: a rabbi in a small town in New England struggling to tend to his congregation and himself, retirees who live in Florida but dream of Brooklyn, a boy at a summer camp in upstate New York learning about the Holocaust for the first time, Russians living in Massachusetts with the family who helped them immigrate. In "The Other End of the World," an American soldier who has survived life in a Japanese prisoner of war camp grieves for members of his family murdered in a Nazi death camp, and in "Poppa's Books" a young boy learns to share his father's passion for the rare books that represent the Old World. "This Third Life" tells of a divorced woman who travels across Germany searching for new meaning in her life after her children leave home, while both "His Violin" and "The Golden Years" explore the plight of elderly Jews, displaced from New York City to retirement communities in Florida, who struggle with memory, madness, and mortality. Set in various times and places, these poignant stories are all tales of personal exile that also illuminate that greater diaspora—geographical, emotional, or spiritual—in which many of us, whether Jews or non-Jews, live.

The Untold Story of Adversity and Resilience

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Supernormal

The Untold Story of Adversity and Resilience

By: Meg Jay

Clinical psychologist and author of The Defining Decade, Meg Jay takes us into the world of the supernormal: those who soar to unexpected heights after childhood adversity. Whether it is the loss of a parent to death or divorce; bullying; alcoholism or drug abuse in the home; mental illness in a parent or a sibling; neglect; emotional, physical or sexual abuse; having a parent in jail; or growing up alongside domestic violence, nearly 75% of us experience adversity by the age of 20. But these experiences are often kept secret, as are our courageous battles to overcome them. Drawing on nearly two decades of work with clients and students, Jay tells the tale of ordinary people made extraordinary by these all-too-common experiences, everyday superheroes who have made a life out of dodging bullets and leaping over obstacles, even as they hide in plain sight as doctors, artists, entrepreneurs, lawyers, parents, activists, teachers, students and readers. She gives a voice to the supernormals among us as they reveal not only "How do they do it?" but also "How does it feel?" These powerful stories, and those of public figures from Andre Agassi to Jay Z, will show supernormals they are not alone but are, in fact, in good company. Marvelously researched and compassionately written, this exceptional book narrates the continuing saga that is resilience as it challenges us to consider whether -- and how -- the good wins out in the end.

Managerial Economics

By: William F. Samuelson,Stephen G. Marks,Jay L. Zagorsky

Managerial Economics, 9th Edition, introduces undergraduates, MBAs, and executives to the complex decision problems today’s managers face, providing the knowledge and analytical skills required to make informed decisions and prosper in the modern business environment. Going beyond the traditional academic approach to teaching economic analysis, this comprehensive textbook describes how practicing managers use various economic methods in the real world. Each in-depth chapter opens with a central managerial problem—challenging readers to consider and evaluate possible choices—and concludes by reviewing and analyzing the decision through the lens of the concepts introduced in the chapter. Extensively updated throughout, the text makes use of numerous extended decision-making examples to discuss the foundational principles of managerial economics, illustrate key concepts, and strengthen students' critical thinking skills. A range of problems, building upon material covered in previous chapters, are applied to increasingly challenging applications as students advance through the text. Favoring practical skills development over complicated theoretical discussion, the book includes numerous mini-problems that reinforce students' quantitative understanding without overwhelming them with an excessive amount of mathematics.

Psychology of Adjustment

Values, Culture and Change

By: Ronald Jay Cohen

This is a survey of the field of psychological adjustment with an emphasis on values, culture and our changing world. The text is built around topics that should be of interest to students, with the aim of giving them an understanding of how and why people act as they do, and helping them apply that understanding to everyday life, problems and concerns. It links academic psychology to application via the liberal use of news events, exploration of one's values, and an examination of the impact of culture as it relates to adjustment. There are self-assessment exercises and applications within each chapter.

The Transition to Parenthood

How a First Child Changes a Marriage : Based on a Landmark Study

By: Jay Belsky,John Kelly

More than half of marriages go into decline once a couple becomes a family. The new tensions which arise during the three years after a first baby's arrival - the division of domestic work, financial worries, chronic fatigue, and the loss of personal freedom - can rock even the happiest of marriages. In this least understood phase of the marital cycle, Belsky and Kelly's study shows that these are not pressures caused by the baby, but by five key variables which are present in a couple's relationship from the moment they meet. It is the ability to make these variables work for you which can be the difference between success and failure in the transition to parenthood.

Respect

By: Jay Crownover

«Jay Crownover non delude mai!» Breaking Point Series C’era una volta la bellissima principessa Karsen. La sua, però, non è una favola come le altre. Karsen viveva in un regno di malvagità e corruzione, ma al riparo dagli orrori del mondo. Ignara della sofferenza, la principessa era innamorata della città che bruciava intorno a lei, ne amava gli angoli oscuri, le ombre spaventose. Fu così che consegnò il suo cuore nelle mani di un uomo pericoloso e violento, sorda ai suoi avvertimenti: lui diceva di non meritarla, ma lei non voleva credergli. Nonostante la sua indole brutale, quando erano insieme lui si dimostrava attento e premuroso. Karsen doveva sapere che l’oscurità avrebbe inghiottito la città e l’uomo che amava, ma il dolore per il suo tradimento fu tale che si trovò costretta a fuggire, con il cuore spezzato. Gettò via la corona sperando di riuscire a dimenticare e lasciarsi tutto alle spalle. Ma nel regno oscuro di questa favola, la famiglia è tutto. E Karsen non ha altra scelta se non tornare indietro. Ora, però, non è più un’ingenua principessa... Un’autrice bestseller del New York Times e di USA Today È facile amare la luce, ma ci vuole coraggio per amare il buio «Finalmente la storia di Booker e Karsen. Ho dovuto attendere a lungo ma ne è valsa la pena.» «La Breaking Point Series è finita, ma è probabilmente la migliore serie che abbia mai letto.» Jay Crownover vive in Colorado. Ama i tatuaggi e l’arte di modificare il corpo, e cerca di fare in modo che la sua scrittura sia permeata da tutto ciò che vede. Le piace leggere, soprattutto storie che la coinvolgano e appassionino; naturalmente, se c’è un bad boy bello e tatuato è sempre meglio. La Newton Compton ha pubblicato la Tattoo Series e la Welcome Series. Honor e Instinct sono i primi due libri della Breaking Point Series, di cui Respect è il terzo volume.

By: Jay Crownover

«Jay Crownover non delude mai!» Autrice del bestseller Oltre le regole Breaking Point Series Lo sanno tutti che le apparenze ingannano. Eppure non c’è nessuno che, vedendomi, non mi prenda per un attaccabrighe, una bestia. Il fatto che io sia alto e pieno di tatuaggi devia completamente l’attenzione della gente. In realtà, ho sempre dato molto più peso al cervello che ai muscoli. Anche se non ho scelto di usarlo nel modo più rispettabile. Non sono uno stupido supereroe né un bravo ragazzo. Ho voltato le spalle alla dignità e ho venduto la mia anima al miglior offerente. Uno che non sa salvare neppure se stesso, come potrebbe aiutare gli altri? Noe Lee è entrata nella mia vita come un fulmine. Brillante ma indisciplinata, capace di muoversi nei bassifondi addirittura meglio di me. Era fastidiosamente adorabile, ma era nei guai. E i guai di qualcun altro non sono mai stati affari miei. Così, le ho sbattuto la porta in faccia. E dopo che è sparita è bastato un secondo perché capissi che la rivolevo indietro. Quando realizzi di desiderare così disperatamente qualcuno, non ti chiedi cosa sei disposto a fare. Segui l’istinto e basta. Jay Crownover ci riporta a The Point con una nuova emozionante storia d’amore piena di cattivi e anime perse Hanno scritto dei suoi romanzi: «Una serie romantica che ha per protagonisti ragazzi che vivono storie d’amore e amicizia, libertà e trasgressione.» Il Corriere della Sera «A ogni nuovo romanzo, Jay Crownover riesce sempre a lasciarmi a bocca aperta.» «Credevo che Honor fosse insuperabile, ma Instinct si è dimostrato decisamente alla sua altezza!» Jay Crownover Vive in Colorado.
