NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Getting along well with others is the
real secret to success and happiness. In tens of thousands of
classrooms we teach reading, writing, and arithmetic and yet we
leave solutions to the universal problems of human relationships to
be discovered, if at all, by trial and error. The trial is painful
and the error is costly. People Tools: 54 Strategies for Building
Relationships, Creating Joy, and Embracing Prosperity, provides
time-proven techniques that you can use to build a better, happier,
more successful life. It is the perfect resource for busy people
looking for fast and effective solutions to the challenges we face
every day. PRACTICAL WISDOM ON EVERY PAGE People Tools are
practical and easy to understand. From developing self-confidence,
to improving communication skills, to finding constructive ways to
resolve conflict, each People Tool addresses a specific issue and
provides a simple, straightforward strategy that you can adopt to
bring about a positive result. Some of the useful People Tools in
the book include: The Belt Buckle. When words are different than
action (The Belt Buckle), trust the Belt Buckle, not the words. Buy
a Ticket. To make something good happen in your life you have to
participate. Catching a Feather. An alternative to the endless
chase, this Tool reveals how to attract people you want to be
closer to. Patterns Persist. Prior actions are predictive of future
behaviors. Catch Them Being Good. Rewards are more effective than
punishments. TIME-TESTED TOOLS TO ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING Although
you may recognize the more intuitive techniques in People Tools,
this sourcebook provides explanations and helpful examples from a
vast collection of different tools designed to help you further
expand your own existing repertoire of skills. Open the book to any
page and you will find a useful solution. Each tool is illustrated
with insightful stories and amusing anecdotes that are relevant and
relatable. The stories will reel you in but the advice will change
your life.
The success of nearly all public- and private-sector policies
hinges on the behavior of individuals, groups, and organizations.
Today, such behaviors are better understood than ever, thanks to a
growing body of practical behavioral science research. However,
policymakers often are unaware of behavioral science findings that
may help them craft and execute more effective and efficient
policies. The pages of this journal will become a meeting ground: a
place where scientists and non-scientists can encounter clearly
described behavioral research that can be put into action. By
design, the scope of Behavioral Science & Policy is broad, with
topics spanning health care, financial decisionmaking, energy and
the environment, education and culture, justice and ethics, and
work place practices. Contributions will be made by researchers
with expertise in psychology, sociology, law, behavioral economics,
organization science, decision science, and marketing. The journal
is a key offering of the Behavioral Science & Policy
Association in partnership with the Brookings Institution. The
mission of BSPA is to foster dialog between social scientists,
policymakers, and other practitioners in order to promote the
application of rigorous empirical behavioral science in ways that
serve the public interest. BSPA does not advance a particular
agenda or political perspective.
