Gestão qualificada
Mesmo que cerca de 80% das pessoas garantam que continuariam a trabalhar ainda que tivessem dinheiro suficiente para se sustentar, a maioria mal pode esperar a hora de terminar o expediente e ir para a casa. Pois a maioria das pessoas sente que não tem metas claras no trabalho, que raramente recebe um retorno adequado, que quase nunca suas habilidades atendem às oportunidades e que perderam o controle sobre o trabalho que realiza. Para Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, o local de trabalho não deve ser fonte de desconforto e insatisfação. Nesta obra, o criador da teoria do flow é a favor de valores como a humanização do ambiente interno, objetivando a felicidade e o bem estar de seus funcionários, resultando em (ou continuando a ser) empresas bem-sucedidas.

Creativity and Development

release date: Sep 04, 2003
Creativity and Development
What is creativity, and where does it come from? Creativity and Development explores the fascinating connections and tensions between creativity research and developmental psychology, two fields that have largely progressed independently of each other-until now. In this book, scholars influential in both fields explore the emergence of new ideas, and the development of the people and situations that bring them to fruition. The uniquely collaborative nature of Oxford''s Counterpoints series allows them to engage in a dialogue, addressing the key issues and potential benefits of exploring the connections between creativity and development. Creativity and Development is based on the observation that both creativity and development are processes that occur in complex systems, in which later stages or changes emerge from the prior state of the system. In the 1970s and 1980s, creativity researchers shifted their focus from personality traits to cognitive and social processes, and the co-authors of this volume are some of the most influential figures in this shift. The central focus on system processes results in three related volume themes: how the outcomes of creativity and development emerge from dynamical processes, the interrelation between individual processes and social processes, and the role of mediating artifacts and domains in developmental and creative processes. The chapters touch on a wide range of important topics, with the authors drawing on their decades of research into creativity and development. Readers will learn about the creativity of children''s play, the creative aspects of children''s thinking, the creative processes of scientists, the role of education and teaching in creative development, and the role of multiple intelligences in both creativity and development. The final chapter is an important dialogue between the authors, who engage in a roundtable discussion and explore key questions facing contemporary researchers, such as: Does society suppress children''s creativity? Are creativity and development specific to an intelligence or a domain? What role do social and cultural contexts play in creativity and development? Creativity and Development presents a powerful argument that both creativity scholars and developmental psychologists will benefit by becoming more familiar with each other''s work.

Good Work

Good Work
What does it mean to carry out "good work"? What strategies allow people to maintain moral and ethical standards at a time when market forces wield unprecedented power and work life is being radically altered by technological innovation? These are the questions at the heart of this important collaboration by three leaders in psychology. Enlivened with stories of real people facing hard decisions, Good Work offers powerful insight into one of the most important issues of our time and, indeed, into the future course of science, technology, and communication.

FLUIR EN EL DEPORTE. Claves para las experiencias y actuaciones óptimas

FLUIR EN EL DEPORTE. Claves para las experiencias y actuaciones óptimas
Durante mucho tiempo he admirado el trabajo pionero del Dr. Csikszentmihalyi y he intentado aplicar sus conceptos en el campo de juego de fútbol americano. Algunos han etiquetado mi enfoque como "intenso", pero el término mas acertado podría ser estar "en fluencia". Estar totalmente absorbido en la tarea encomendada es esencial para llegar a ser un campeón en deporte. Fluir en el deporte narra cómo puedes entrar en esta mentalidad positiva y ganadora. Jimmy Johnson Entrenador principal, campeón de la Super Bowl con los Dallas Cowboys (1992, 1993) Campeón de la NCAA con la Universidad de Miami (1987) "Fluir en el deporte" es una lectura fascinante. Al fin alguien ha puesto sobre el papel lo que yo siempre exijo cuando trabajo y compito. Para atletas que están buscando un libro que muestre cómo maximizar su sensación de disfrute y desatar su verdadero potencial, éste es una mina do oro en información" Dan O''Brien Campeón Olímpico de Decatlón (1996) La experiencia de fluir es aún uno de los fenómenos incomprendidos en el deporte. Y sin embargo, es una de las experiencias más ricas y memorables que jamás un atleta conocerá. Algunos lo llaman "experiencia óptima"; otros se refieren como estar "en la zona". Cualquiera que sea la etiqueta , fluir es ese estado de conciencia huidizo y deseado que atletas, entrenadores y psicólogos han intentado comprender, aprovechar y emplear en su beneficio desde que Mihaly Csikszentmihalyo acuñase por primera vez el término a principio de la década de 1970.

Buen trabajo

release date: Jan 01, 2002
Buen trabajo
Este libro innovador, obra de tres psicólogos de fama mundial, demuestra que, en una época controlada de forma implacable por el mercado, los profesionales aún pueden conseguir realizar un buen trabajo, que a la vez sea especializado y socialmente responsable. Pero ¿qué significa hacer “un buen trabajo”? ¿Cuáles son las estrategias que nos permiten mantener unos criterios morales y éticos en unos tiempos en que las fuerzas del mercado tienen un poder sin precedentes y la innovación tecnológica altera de forma drástica la vida laboral? Estas preguntas constituyen la base de este libro. Los autores se centran en la genética y el periodismo ―dos campos que generan información, la manipulan y, por consiguiente, afectan a nuestras vidas de muchas maneras distintas― y demuestran que los profesionales deben conseguir un elevado nivel de rendimiento sin abandonar la responsabilidad social. Durante los últimos años, los autores han entrevistado a más de doscientas personas, todas ellas dedicadas a trabajos de vanguardia, y, en estas investigaciones sobre sus metas y sus perspectivas, sus obstáculos y sus temores, así como sobre los medios por los que transmiten sus más apreciadas prácticas y valores, han descubierto agudos contrastes entre los individuos de ambos campos. Hasta hoy, las exigencias del mundo profesional no han cuestionado los valores de los genetistas; en cambio, los periodistas se sienten profundamente desilusionados por el conflicto que se plantea entre el comercio y la ética. Los dilemas a los que se enfrentan estos profesionales y las referencias morales que escogen en su búsqueda tienen un gran valor orientativo para determinar de qué forma las personas puedan transformar sus profesiones y sus vidas. En Buen trabajo abundan ejemplos reales de individuos que se enfrentan a decisiones complejas, por lo que la obra constituye una sólida reflexión sobre algunas de las cuestiones más importantes de nuestra época y, sin duda, sobre el curso futuro de la ciencia, la tecnología y la comunicación.

Finding Flow

release date: Apr 06, 1998
Finding Flow
From one of the pioneers of the scientific study of happiness, an indispensable guide to living your best life. What makes a good life? Is it money? An important job? Leisure time? Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi believes our obsessive focus on such measures has led us astray. Work fills our days with anxiety and pressure, so that during our free time, we tend to live in boredom, watching TV or absorbed by our phones. What are we missing? To answer this question, Csikszentmihalyi studied thousands of people, and he found the key. People are happiest when they challenge themselves with tasks that demand a high degree of skill and commitment, and which are undertaken for their own sake. Instead of watching television, play the piano. Take a routine chore and figure out how to do it better, faster, more efficiently. In short, learn the hidden power of complete engagement, a psychological state the author calls flow. Though they appear simple, the lessons in Finding Flow are life-changing.

Creatividad

release date: Jan 01, 1998
Creatividad
En este libro se abordan todas aquellas cosas que hacen que la vida sea digna de vivirse. La emocion creativa del pintor ante su caballete o del cientifico en su laboratorio se acercan mucho a esa satisfaccion ideal que todos esperamos y tan raramente experimentamos. Y ese es el motivo de que el profesor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi haya entrevistado a mas de noventa de las personas mas interesantes del mundo personas que han revolucionado sus areas de trabajo desde dentro, como el actor Ed Asner, los escritores Robertson Davies y Nadine Gordimer, los cientificos Jonas Salk y Linus Pauling o el senador Eugene McCarthy con el proposito de descubrir de que modo ha influido la creatividad en la fuerza que da impulso a sus vidas. A partir de ahi, el autor analiza los motivos por los que las personas creativas son consideradas a menudo egoistas y arrogantes aun sin serlo, deja patente que la idea del genio torturado es en gran medida un mito sin fundamento, y sostiene, finalmente, que la creatividad exige su cultivo, no solo en campos tradicionalmente creativos como las ciencias y las artes, sino tambien en los negocios, el gobierno y la educacion. Se trata de una obra, pues, que no versa tanto sobre la B+creatividadB; cotidiana que todos somos capaces de experimentar como sobre la creatividad especial de los artistas, los cientificos y todas las demas personas que pueden transformar nuestra cultura y el modo en que miramos el mundo. Sin embargo, al estudiar esas vidas excepcionales, el profesor Csikszentmihalyi nos indica el camino a traves del cual podemos mejorar en nuestra vida cotidiana y su objetivo, entonces, se hace claro: una personalidad mas satisfactoria que nos permita, a su vez, unamayor realizacion laboral y social.

Living Well

release date: Jan 01, 1997
Living Well
A profound explorationof what it means to have a good life. What do we as human beings want from life? How can we best be fulfilled in our lives, relationships and work? Csikszentmihalyi argues that human beings are at their most creative, most rewarded and happiest when they are performing in a state of flow - the state a pianist, a golfer, a snooker player are in they are performing at their best. In an unusual combination of serious pschcology and self - help, Living Well answers the questions self-help books ask but in a way that reflects the cutting edge of psychological research and thinking. The ideas of this book are thought provoking and in applying them to our lives they have the potential to be life changing.

Changing the World

release date: Apr 30, 1994
Changing the World
In this volume three of the key figures in the field set out to establish some parameters for the study of creativity. After examining the earlier works on the subject, they present their current research findings, and then attempt to project where the field is likely to go in the decade ahead. Gardner, the proponent of biological aspects of creativity, ranges widely as he examines Freud''s Vienna and the features of medicine that both constrained and challenged his revolutionary idea. Csikszentmihalyi, with his exploration of genes and memes, examines individual issues as well as broader contextual concerns. Feldman concentrates on the notions of coincidence and the transformational imperative. These essays point to the rejuvenation of the field of creativity research, and suggest where the field is likely to move in the future. This work is a major synthesis of value to advanced researchers as well as students and all those concerned with creativity.
