Book Synopsis Why We Act Like Canadians by : Pierre Berton

Download or read book Why We Act Like Canadians written by Pierre Berton. This book was released on 2012-06-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this challenging book, written as a series of open letters to an American friend, Pierre Berton reaches into his profound knowledge of the country’s history and geography to dissect, praise, explain and occasionally criticize the national character. He does so, not with abstract opinions but with apt and colourful examples taken from the past and the present: Sam Steele’s gold rush censorship of the Turkish Whirlwind Danseuse; Ontario’s grudging acceptance of beer in three Toronto ballparks; New York’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade; Lorne Greene’s rueful return to Toronto; William Van Horne’s tirade against winter carnivals; the role of Kentucky in the War of 1812; W.A.C. Bennett’s surprising takeover of the B.C. Electric Company on the day of its president’s funeral. All these apparently disconnected incidents are woven into a carefully thought-out dissection of the national character, a distillation of more than thirty years of Berton research.

Download or read book Connecting With Yourself written by Vishal Jacob. This book was released on 2018-06-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every life is an interesting story, and this story is best written when people go through life’s experiences by staying connected to who they truly are. To stay connected to yourself, you need first to start listening from within. This book gives a perspective on why we think, feel and act the way we do, through concepts from neuroscience and psychology. It attempts to answer some of life’s key questions, such as— - Why do we all perceive things differently? - Why are we designed to do different things? - Why do we all learn things in different ways? - How are habits formed? - What role do emotions play in our lives? - What makes us happy? And finally, what it means and takes to stay connected to ourselves and others. “Great ideas for a better living, that not only help you to connect with yourself but also to connect with others.” Dr. David J Lincoln – Chief advisor and president ANLP India. “The simplicity of ideas and the depth of knowledge make this book a must-read for leaders everywhere.” Rajat Garg Master Certified Coach & Director, Global Board of Directors for The ICF (International Coaching Federation) “Vishal brings to life and connects many aspects of living with facts about the brain and how the human mind works. These easy to read and well-structured reflections ‘from the heart’ show the simple aspects of living life fully.” Chitra Ravi Founder & Principle consultant at SeedTLC, Regional Representative for India & Asia on the Board of Trustees of the ITAA (International Transactional Analysis Association)

Book Synopsis How We Act by : Berent En C

Download or read book How We Act written by Berent En C. This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'How We Act' presents a compelling picture of human action as part of the natural causal order. Berent Enç eschews any appeal to special capacities supposedly unique to rational agents, such as agent causation or irreducible acts of volition, and by appealing to analogous positions in epistemology and the theory of perception, shows why it is a mistake to subscribe to such capacities. His defense begins with a foundationalist definition of action that rests on a theory of basic acts, conceived here as derived from empirical studies of animal behaviour. Basic acts are complex units that agents acquire as part of their repertoire of things they can readily do - things with which practical syllogisms end.
