For better or worse, people will define the quality of your life and your future. Everything has to do with people—and how we respond to them. In many of our endeavors, people are the single most important factor in our sense of well-being and happiness. Yet, even though we depend on the influence, cooperation, knowledge, and affirmation of others—and others depend on us—we are rarely taught how to understand and effectively relate to our family members, friends, coworkers, and others we encounter each day. In the ideal world, people value each other and nobody judges anyone else, our families are loving and supportive, and we forgive those who offend us. But in the real world, it often isn’t that way. Friends gossip about us, enemies try to undermine us, those who should love us may abandon us, and we sometimes hold on to resentments for years. When problems or issues arise in relationships, we fall back on our emotions or past patterns of dealing with conflict. We withdraw from other people or lash out at them. That’s why we need to develop the art of being a People Specialist. International speaker Tiago Brunet has spent years researching and teaching others how to become experts in real-life relationships. In People Specialist, he explains: How to be intentional about building strong relationships in all arenas of life The three spheres of friendship: strategic, necessary, and close How to manage unavoidable and avoidable relationships The elements that lead to a strong and lasting marriage How understanding ourselves enables us to cultivate positive relationships How to see ourselves as others see us How to implement a program of personal development and success Time-tested biblical principles for connecting to others and resolving conflicts How to see the best in others and invest in them With humor, frankness, and energy, Brunet shows how anyone can become a People Specialist, transforming their own life and the lives of those around them.

Ageing is widely recognised as one of the social and economic challenges in the contemporary, globalised world, for which scientific, technological and medical solutions are continuously sought. This book proposes that science and technology also played a crucial role in the creation and transformation of the ageing society itself. Drawing on existing work on science, technology and ageing in sociology, anthropology, history of science, geography and social gerontology, Science, Technology and the Ageing Society explores the complex, interweaving relationship between expertise, scientific and technological standards and social, normatively embedded age identities. Through a series of case studies focusing on older people, science and technology, medical research about ageing and ageing-related illnesses, and the role of expertise in the management of ageing populations, Moreira challenges the idea that aging is a problem for the individual and society. Tracing the epistemic and technological infrastructures that underpin multiple of ways of aging, this timely volume is a crucial tool for undergraduate and graduate students interested in social gerontology, health and social care, sociology of aging, science and technology studies and medical sociology.
