Ordinary magic / by Walton, Gregory M.(Gregory Mariotti),author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 379-423) and index.Spiraling down -- Spiraling up -- Do I belong? -- Can I do it? -- Who am I? -- Spotlight : reducing global poverty -- Do you love me? -- Can I trust you? -- Spotlight : improving school for the most vulnerable children -- Toward a better world -- Floodlight : making school wise."The emotional questions we face-Do I belong here? Can I do it? Do you love me? -can define our lives. If you're expecting an interaction to go wrong, that expectation can make it so. That's spiraling down. But as esteemed Stanford psychologist Greg Walton shows, when we see these questions more clearly, we can answer them well. Known to social psychologists as wise interventions, these seemingly magical shifts in perspective can help us chart new trajectories for our lives. They help us spiral up. Through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis of fascinating research-both his own and others'-Dr. Walton explains the common anatomy of these tools and shows how we can use them to solve problems in a wide variety of situations, including: With our children: how a few choice words from parents or teachers can build trust and achievement. In our relationships: witness the power of a seven-minute conversation to engender more intimacy among couples-a year later. At work: how to convey news-good or bad-in ways that motivate employees. In school: a simple practice to help new college students of color build their belonging, leading to better achievement, career success, and life satisfaction years later. In our policy: how a one-page letter reduced recidivism among kids returning to school from juvenile detention by 40 percentage points; how a postcard campaign cut suicide rates in half. It's easy to think problems are out of our control. But in fact, we have vast opportunities for change. Ordinary Magic puts the tools for change at your fingertips"--

Change your thoughts-- change your life [sound recording] / by Dyer, Wayne W.,author,narrator.(CARDINAL)139359;
Read by Wayne W. Dyer."Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good. In this book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching and has written 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today's modern world. This work contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne's researching of 10 of the most well-respected translations of text that have survived for more than 25 centuries. Each chapter is designed for actually living the Tao or the Great Way today. Some of the chapter titles are "Living with Flexibility," "Living Without Enemies," and "Living by Letting Go." Each of the 81 brief chapters focuses on living the Tao and concludes with a section called "Doing the Tao Now." Wayne spent one entire year reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu's messages, practicing them each day and ultimately writing down these essays as he felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them. This is a work to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne says, "This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you'll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I've ever experienced. I'm so proud to present this interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has brought me"--Container.
