I'm Your Peri Godmother takes readers on a hilarious and helpful journey through the rollercoaster experience of perimenopause.Health advocate and journalist Shelly Horton thought menopause was for old ladies and was simply hot flushes and no more periods.

Consider Shelly your big sister, your supportive best friend, your very own peri godmother, here to help you through it all with a wave of her magic wand, lots of medical evidence (but no medical jargon) and real-life warmth and humor.

Creativity diagnostics is actually paradoxical and "an impossible task." It is neither plannable nor retrievable on demand, nor can it be prescribed with the motto: "Be spontaneous" or "Be creative!" All previous attempts to assess creative performance or behavior, for example through creativity tests using the criteria of "idea richness" and "idea diversity" under formal standardization rules (e.g. time limits) and norms, have mostly failed to meet expectations, whether in schools or in corporate aptitude diagnostics. At best, creativity could be demonstrated in the artistic-scientific field through work samples or "brilliant inventions." In day-to-day operations and workplaces, creativity is typically observable over a longer period, taking into account its usefulness and social acceptance.What "approaches" might be possible in psychological diagnostics to assess creativity, and what limitations they are subject to, is the topic of this "creative" article.Target groupsPsychologists and HR experts in both academia and practice, as well as school educators and HR managers responsible for evaluating the creative performance of their employees.About the authorDr. Heribert Wienkamp, a certified psychologist with a PhD in Psychology, has worked for many years in various HR roles in a bank and a building society.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence.

"Brilliant, original, and packed with fresh ideas. Andrew Caplin has written a manifesto, calling for a 'science of mistakes,' using large data sets to understand what people are doing and why. Full of important findings and terrific insights, Caplin's book paves the way toward a revolution in social science-something we have never seen before."-Cass R. Sunstein, Robert Walmsley University Professor, Harvard University and coauthor of Nudge"One of the most brilliant, creative, and brave thinkers in economics and really all of the social sciences, Andrew Caplin has produced a masterwork in this beautifully written book.... All social scientists should read and ponder this wonderful book."-Steven Durlauf, Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor and Director of the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility, Harris School of Public Policy, University of ChicagoThis book introduces readers to "cognitive economics," a rapidly emerging interdisciplinary science built on economic, psychological, and data scientific foundations. Throughout the book, economist Andrew Caplin provides new approaches to help scholars collaborate and solve problems that can shape economic outcomes and bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the real world.Divided into two parts, the first section brings readers up to speed on economic concepts that underlie decision-making mistakes, such as utility functions, subjective beliefs, and costs of learning. It explores real-world applications, including improvements in legal decision-making, online privacy protection, and optimizing human-AI collaboration. The book discusses the future impact of AI on the workforce and emphasizes the need for decision-making skills and financial literacy in navigating this evolving landscape. In the second section of the book, Caplin addresses the barriers to progress within social sciences, advocating for interdisciplinary cooperation and innovative measurement techniques to advance the field.The book invites readers to contribute to the development of cognitive economics. Whether you are a socially-conscious and hard-working citizen, business leader, scholar, or policymaker, this book will help you understand why cognitive economics matters to you and how you can contribute to its takeoff.This book is open access.Andrew Caplin is Silver Professor of Economics at New York University and a fellow of the Econometric Society.

"Effective Climate Communication provides a fresh perspective on communicating climate change in a climate of public disengagement and anxiety. Using these realities as starting points, Denisova explores key issues around greenwashing, news narratives, and the need for de-colonising practices. By asking 'what slows down citizen action?' Denisova's thoroughly researched and clearly written text calls for persistence, care and creativity. Combining compassion and practicality, the lessons in Effective Climate Communication will be useful for researchers, policy-makers, activists and storytellers in their fights for climate justice." Anna Feigenbaum, Professor in Digital Storytelling, Bournemouth University, UKThis book explores the urgent challenges of communicating climate change in the media. While many books have been written about climate change, this book goes to the very heart of what makes humans care about stories enough to act. In a direct and sympathetic approach, Denisova tackles problems of greenwashing, news narratives, colonial framings and more. Taking climate anxiety as a starting point, the author positions herself with empathy and asks the question: 'what slows down citizen action?' This fresh perspective acknowledges the pressing challenge of public disengagement and the anxiety people feel when faced with increasingly bleak headlines as the climate crisis intensifies. There is a surprising challenge to apocalyptic storytelling and a hero's narrative, which Denisova argues are counter-productive, while solutions are provided for media storytellers. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to ease climate-related anxiety and foster a deeper sense of empowerment in their audience.Anastasia Denisova is a Senior Lecturer in Journalism at the Communication and Media Research Institute, University of Westminster, UK. She specialises in viral cultures, internet memes, and climate change communication and is the author of the book Internet Memes and Society (2019) and the policy brief Fashion Media and Sustainability (2021). She has published widely in top academic journals, including Social Media + Society; Media, Culture and Society; and Journalism.

Beyond Karen Casey’s main readers of women and people in recovery, this book would reach a greater audience of those who are aging and lacking resources for their new path.A study done in Japan concluded that women outlived men drastically in their old-age due to the harsh work culture found in Japan. Many of these women experienced increased social isolation and depression due to their loss of a partner and resorted to petty theft and jail time so that they could live within community within their incarceration. Similar to women in Japan, female Americans are also experiencing a similar dilemma due to the lack of community and knowledge that aging takes on them. Karen is looking to reach the 11,120 Americans that are retiring from their current jobs every day that are then looking for a passion and direction after their retirement. Much of the United States and those around the world are experiencing a great demographic of their community is "graying," although, not many know how to accept or adapt to their newfound path in life in a positive manner.One of Karen’s bestsellers, Each Day a New Beginning, is celebrating its 40th anniversary edition with over 4 million copies sold.
