Stick with It - Sean Young - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Stick with It - Sean Young - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Learn how to make real, lasting changes in your life We all have bad habits - whether it''s a weakness for junk food, a smartphone addiction or a lack of exercise. But change is hard. Forty percent of dieters quit within a week. Eighty percent of New Year''s resolutions don''t last beyond January. How can we kick bad habits - and stick with it?According to psychologist and behaviour researcher Dr Sean Young, the answer is to stop trying to change the person, and instead change the process . In Stick With It , Dr Young draws on his own research and that of other leading experts to explain how the mind often interferes with breaking bad habits, and how we can outsmart it, increasing the likelihood of lasting change by 200%. Packed with practical exercises and real-life case studies, Stick With It shows that it is possible to control spending, stick to a diet, exercise regularly and overcome problem behaviours - forever. ''Scientifically grounded and personally implementable. It''s a winner'' - Robert Cialdini, author of Influence and Pre-Suasion ''A must-read for anyone who''s been unable to keep a New Year''s resolution or failed at making a lasting change in any other area of their life or work. - Jonah Berger, author of Contagious Dr Sean Young is one of the world''s leading experts in the field of habit-forming. He is an acclaiedpsychologist and the founder and Executive Director of the UCLA Center for Digital Behavior. His research involves the study of cutting-edge ways of using social media and mobile technologies to change and predict human behaviour.

The Medium is the Massage - Bruno Munari - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Medium is the Massage - Bruno Munari - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In a dazzling fusion of Quentin Fiore''s bold and inventive graphic design and Marshall McLuhan''s unique insight into technology, advertising and mass-media, The Medium is the Massage is a unique study of human communication in the twentieth century, published in Penguin Modern ClassicsMarshall McLuhan is the man who predicted the all-pervasive rise of modern mass media. Blending text, image and photography, his 1960 classic The Medium is the Massage illustrates how the growth of technology utterly reshapes society, personal lives and sensory perceptions, so that we are effectively transformed by the means we use to communicate. His theories, many of which are illustrated in this astonishing ''inventory of effects'', force us to question how modes of communication have shaped society. This concept, and his ideas such as rolling, up-to-the-minute news broadcasts and the media ''Global Village'' have proved decades ahead of their time.How do we see the world around us? The ''Penguin on Design'' series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever. Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) was a Canadian educator, philosopher and scholar - a professor of English Literature, a literary critic and a communications theorist. McLuhan''s work is viewed as one of the cornerstones of the study of media theory. Among his other works are The Mechanical Bride (1951), The Gutenberg Galaxy (1962) and Understanding Media (1964). Quentin Fiore (b. 1920) is a graphic designer renowned for his collaborations with writers including the academic Marshall McLuhan and the futurist and engineer Buckminster Fuller.If you enjoyed The Medium is the Massage , you might like Bruno Munari''s Design as Art , also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''The media prophet of the 1960s'' The New York Times ''In the tumult of the digital revolution, McLuhan is relevant anew'' Wired

The Uses of Literacy - Richard Hoggart - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Uses of Literacy - Richard Hoggart - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

When a society becomes more affluent, does it lose other values? Are the skills that education and literacy gave millions wasted on consuming pop culture? Do the media coerce us into a world of the superficial and the material - or can they be a force for good? When Richard Hoggart asked these questions in his 1957 book The Uses of Literacy Britain was undergoing huge social change, yet his landmark work has lost none of its pertinence and power today. Hoggart gives a fascinating insight into the close-knit values of Northern England''s vanishing working-class communities, and weaves this together with his views on the arrival of a new, homogenous ''mass'' US-influenced culture. His headline-grabbing bestseller opened up a whole new area of cultural study and remains essential reading, both as a historical document, and as a commentary on class, poverty and the media.

The Score - C. Thi Nguyen - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

‘Games offer me the joys of complete absorption in a precise, well-defined world… and within those strictures, I find freedom.’Scoring systems are everywhere. They underpin our daily lives – from social media to education and health – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Scores are instructional manuals for behaviour. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful, to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal, institutions weaponize scoring to impose their own interests. In The Score, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen shows us how games and their scoring systems, such as likes on social media or university rankings, have fundamentally changed our value systems, prioritising what can be measured and monetized over what is truly meaningful to us. In this love-letter to the immersive and profound power of games, Nguyen charts a way we might be able to break free from these constraints to lead more creative and joyful lives. To start playing our own game.

O’Hanlon could also rely on his encyclopaedic knowledge of the region’s flora and fauna, and had read-up on how to avoid being eaten by anything (stick your thumbs in a crocodile’s eyes, if you have time). And yet they proceeded to have an adventure that neither O’Hanlon, nor his friend, nor even his guides were remotely prepared for…‘Consistently exciting, often funny, and erudite without ever being overwhelming’ Punch.
