A book that will change how you think and transform how you live
Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people
- at work, at school, at home. It is wrong. As Daniel H. Pink
explains in his paradigm-shattering book Drive, the secret to high
performance and satisfaction in today's world is the deeply human
need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and
to do better by ourselves and the world. Along the way, he takes us
to companies that are enlisting new approaches to motivation, and
introduces us to the scientists and entrepreneurs who are pointing
a bold way forward.
We're all in Sales now Parents sell their kids on going to bed.
Spouses sell their partners on mowing the lawn. We sell our bosses
on giving us more money and more time off. And in astonishing
numbers we go online to sell ourselves on Facebook, Twitter and
online dating profiles. Relying on science, analysis and his
trademark clarity of thought, Daniel Pink shows that sales isn't
what it used to be. Then he provides a set of tools, tips, and
exercises for succeeding on each new terrain: six new ways to pitch
your idea, three ways to understand another's perspective, five
frames that can make your message clearer, and much more.
This volume brings together a range of miscellaneous short texts by
Voltaire, mostly undated and principally manuscript fragments. From
thoughts on the souls of animals, to how he organised his papers to
a joke proxy granting unlimited powers to act on his behalf, these
scraps shed light on Voltaire's working methods and on the possible
subjects of texts that he never published. Most notably, it
contains a supplement adding nineteen fragments to the edition of
Voltaire's Notebooks (OCV, vol.81-82). Contributors: David Adams,
Andrew Brown, Marie-Helene Cotoni, Nicholas Cronk, Jean Dagen,
Stephanie Gehanne Gavoty, Myrtille Mericam-Bourdet, Christiane
Mervaud, Gillian Pink, John Renwick, Gerhardt Stenger, David
Williams.

discovers that Grandpa has some secrets of his own! A lyrical and

and a grandparent, with full colour illustrations on every page.
This complement to the "Corpus des notes marginales series"
reproduces marginalia by Voltaire found in works outside of his
personal library in both printed books and manuscripts. It occupies
a unique place within the series as some of the texts included
therein were annotated by Voltaire not for his own use but for
friends, acquaintances and correspondents. The volume therefore
offers a rare glimpse at marginalia whose chief purpose was to
impress a certain image of Voltaire himself upon the recipients of
the annotated works. A retrospective introduction to the "Corpus
des notes marginales de Voltaire" series provides a fascinating
portrait of Voltaire as a reader. Contributors: Samuel Bailey, Jean
Dagen, Ethel Groffier, John R. Iverson, Edouard Langille,
Christiane Mervaud, Christophe Paillard, Jean-Alexandre Perras,

This book provides a comprehensive survey of Qur’an translation
in Indonesia – the most populous Muslim-majority country in the
world with a highly diverse, multilingual society. Delving into the
linguistic and political dimensions of this field, the contributors
– many of whom are Indonesian scholars – employ a wide range of
historical, socio-cultural, linguistic and exegetical approaches to
offer fresh insights. In their contributions, the negotiation of
authority between state and of non-state actors is shown to be a
constant theme, from the pre-print era through to the colonial and
postcolonial periods. Religious organizations, traditional
institutions of scholarship and Wahhabi-Salafi groups struggle over
the meaning of the Qur’an while the Ministry of Religious Affairs
publishes its own Qur’an translations into many of the
country’s languages. The contributors also explore the
influential role of the Ahmadiyya movement in shaping Qur’an
translation in Indonesia. Moreover, they examine the specific
challenges that translators face when rendering the Qur’an in
languages with structures, histories and cultural contexts that are
vastly different from Arabic. Opening up the work of Indonesian
scholars to a wider audience, this book will appeal to anyone
interested in Qur’anic studies and Islam in the Southeast Asia
region.
A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022: BUSINESS A DAILY UK
NEWS BEST BOOK OF 2022: BUSINESS 'No regrets.' You've heard people
proclaim it as a philosophy of life. That's nonsense, even
dangerous, says Daniel H. Pink in his latest bold and inspiring
work. Everybody has regrets. They're a fundamental part of our
lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we
can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at
work and school, and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose. In
The Power of Regret, Pink draws on research in psychology,
neuroscience, economics and biology to challenge widely-held
assumptions about emotions and behaviour. Using the largest
sampling of attitudes about regret ever conducted from his own
World Regret Survey - which has collected regrets from more than
16,000 people in 105 countries - he identifies the four core
regrets that most people have. These four regrets, Pink argues,
operate as a 'photographic negative' of the good life. By
understanding what people regret the most, we can understand what
they value the most. And by following the simple, science-based,
three-step process that he sets out, we can transform our regrets
in a positive force for working smarter and living better. With
Pink's signature blend of big ideas and practical takeaways,
captivating stories and crisp humour, The Power of Regret offers an
urgent and indispensable guide for a life well-lived.
