So many people today are struggling with the increasing pace of change and the constant and excessive busyness that comes with it. Many feel stretched, overwhelmed and exhausted, besieged by the demands of complex projects and workplaces. They are engaged in a kind of "doing" that is more effort and struggle, rather than a "doing" that comes from a place of presence, openness and aliveness. This is not only ineffective and unsustainable, but ultimately ends in stress, anxiety and burnout. This book, by the authors of the award-winning Not Knowing (Best Management Book of the Year), explores the limits and dangers of "doing"; how do they play out in our lives and workplaces; what is driving, or contributing, to our excessive activity; and what would a different kind of "doing" look like, that is less about control and struggle and more about well-being, harmony and creativity.

Knowledge and expertise are highly valued in today's business world. These values are introduced at an early age by our education system, and at work, we are assessed based on what we know, on having the answers and solutions. Our need for certainty, to know what's going on, to have all the answers, exerts strong pressure in our lives. This award-winning book offers an alternative, contrarian approach to dealing with such pressures - and to embrace "not knowing" rather than fearing it. The authors argue it is by "not knowing" that we in fact develop an exploratory mindset, and we discover, engage and create new ways to deal with business and management problems and issues. The book is supported by stories of individuals and the positive change they made in their lives through "not knowing". Solving new problems with old ways of thinking are no longer useful in the new world.

In order to thrive in these worrying times, this fascinating book proposes we head, uncomfortably, towards the unknown, rather than away from it. By developing a unique relationship with Not Knowing we discover a new way of living, working and succeeding in our modern world. This book re-frames the concept of Not Knowing, from being in a fearful place of weakness and ignorance, moving to something we must engage with personally. It introduces us to a new paradigm, where Not Knowing becomes an exciting opportunity, where we are no longer limited by what we already know and our habitual reactions to things that life throws at us, so that deeper knowing can emerge, full of rich possibilities and wisdom. Learn: Why your hard-won knowledge may be holding you back. How to recognise when you are entering your real learning zone. Lessons from people who thrive in the unknown. Powerful ideas that will help you experience joy and possibility, rather than uncertainty and worry.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Padagogik - Allgemeine Didaktik, Erziehungsziele, Methoden, Note: 1,5, Padagogische Hochschule in Schwabisch Gmund, Veranstaltung: Hausaufgaben, 8 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Hausaufgaben tragen standig ein grosses Konfliktpotential in sich - sowohl in der Schule als auch in der Familie. Vor allem bei Kindern aus der sozialen Unterschicht ist die Belastung durch Hausaufgaben hoch, da ihnen in den seltensten Fallen von Eltern oder Geschwistern geholfen werden kann und die Kinder ihre Hausaufgaben allein nicht losen konnen. Dadurch gelangen sie in einen Leistungsruckstand, verstehen den neuen Lernstoff auch nicht und bekommen auch schlechtere Noten. Das bedeutet, dass sozial schwachere Kinder durch das Schulsystem und die Hausaufgabenpraxis stark benachteiligt werden und oftmals keine Chance haben, in der Gesellschaft aufzusteigen." Auch finanziell werden Familien durch Hausaufgaben belastet - die Schuler brauchen fur ihre Hausaufgaben nicht nur Scheren, Kleber, Stifte, Bucher und Blocke, sondern heutzutage auch oftmals einen Fernseher und einen Internetanschluss. Dabei werden Hausaufgaben nur gemacht, weil sie aufgrund der Vorgabe der Lehrer erledigt werden mussen und zumeist nicht, weil die Schuler sie machen wollen oder gar Spass daran haben. Dennoch sind sich Eltern und auch Schuler laut einer empirischen Forschung einig, das Hausaufgaben nutzlich" sind (vgl. Trautwein/ Koller, 2003, 206) und den Schulern durch Ubungen und Festigen des Gelernten bei dem besseren Verstandnis des gelernten Unterrichtsstoffes helfen. Am Ende verfolgen Lehrer, Schuler und Eltern mit den Hausaufgaben nur ein gemeinsames Ziel: schulischen Erfolg. Jedoch stellt sich die Frage: Sind Hausaufgaben wirklich sinnvoll und sind Hausaufgaben uberhaupt notwendi
