IntheFlow : Taking Mindfulness to Work
Book information
Description
IntheFlow – Taking Mindfulness to Work is an uplifting, eloquent and enlightening book that provokes us to discover the magic within ourselves so that we live more fulfilling lives. It comes at a time of challenging economic dynamics, deep social and political challenges, fast-paced technological disruption and high demand on people and leaders to turn the treadmill up and move faster, with more balls in the air than ever. We have never-ending tick-boxes and to-do lists and we push ourselves hard to continue to deliver in a hugely stressful working environment. This is a dangerous cycle that deludes us into a belief that we are invincible and super out-performers in an ever-demanding world. Like Debbie, I resonate with the paradox of feeling a sense of accomplishment knowing that I have concluded yet another piece of work on time and in budget, but a niggling feeling that this perfection and invincibility is not sustainable and does not lead to the deep personal fulfilment that is linked to a higher purpose and a life joyfully lived. Most of us do not smell the roses in the dizzying busy-ness to get things done, and pressure to make the bottom line, and we are missing out on the magic of life and what it truly has to offer us. This book urges us to move to something new and improved that is exciting and deeply motivating – a path less taken. The thrust of the message is that small shifts can have a huge impact on our leadership style, on our team culture, on relationships, and on our productivity, performance and profitability. Yes, there is a bottom-line benefit to being more empathetic and trusting of people. Greater self-understanding and an awareness of our impact as leaders on others unlocks commitment, energy and effort. This book is packed with enthusiasm about how we can change our lives for the better by providing us with tools, tips and practices that can impact our personal and professional lives. It offers anecdotes, principles, processes and philosophies that are accessible, simple and very powerful. It does so with wisdom, insight and humour that kept me riveted throughout the read.

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
