Showing results for "Chance" in Psychology & Mental Health

Myth-shattering social scientist Brian Klaas dives deeply into the phenomenon of random chance and the chaos it can sow, taking aim at most people's neat and tidy storybook version of reality. The book's argument is that we willfully ignore a bewildering truth: but for a few small changes, our lives - and our societies - could be radically different. Offering an entirely new lens, Fluke explores how our world really works, driven by strange interactions and apparently random events.

Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances—outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone. Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter.

"Die Stärke zu wissen, wann es Zeit ist aufzuhören". In der heutigen leistungsorientierten Gesellschaft ist das Aufgeben ein Schandfleck im Lebenslauf. Wie oft haben wir schon etwas abgeschlossen, was uns weder glücklich gemacht hat, noch einen Vorteil gebracht hat, einfach nur, weil wir es nicht abbrechen konnten, oder wollten? Annie Duke beschreibt in "Quit", wann der Mut, der eine Tugend ist und uns voran treibt, sich in einen Laster verwandeln kann. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg gibt es die Mentalität: "Quitters never win, and winners never quit".

It’s comforting to think that we can be successful because we work hard, climb ladders, and get what we deserve, but each of us has been profoundly touched by randomness.

In The Random Factor, Mark Robert Rank draws from a wealth of evidence, including interviews and research, to explain how luck and chance play out and reveals how we can use these lessons to guide our personal lives and public policies.
