Free Download Systems Thinking for Social Change: A Practical Guide to Solving Complex Problems, Avoiding Unintended Consequences, and Achieving Lasting Results by David Peter Stroh, Tia Rider, Chelsea Green Publishing

Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation.
How do these unintended consequences come about and how can we avoid them? By applying conventional thinking to complex social problems, we often perpetuate the very problems we try so hard to solve, but it is possible to think differently and get different results. Systems Thinking for Social Change enables listeners to contribute more effectively to society by helping them understand what systems thinking is and why it is so important in their work. It also gives concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning without becoming a technical expert.

Free Download Applying a Systems Thinking Approach to the Construction Industry
by Mike Siebert
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032366184 | 221 pages | True PDF | 26.63 MB
This book aims to shed light on why it is that so many well-meaning initiatives and government white papers have failed to have their expected impact in transforming the UK construction industry. Using the UK housing sector as a case study, Mike Siebert applies a Systems Thinking approach to tackling some of the shared wicked problems faced by an industry which that urgently needs to boost its productivity levels, build more sustainably and affordably, and generally improve its working practices. In an accessible and easy to read style, Siebert challenges the overall decision making and problem-solving approach adopted by the industry and seeks to put Systems Thinking front and centre to consider the core issues from multiple perspectives. Initially outlining the key stakeholders and the drivers and barriers to change, he then introduces Systems Thinking and explains using numerous examples of known issues what this approach could achieve. His central aim is to show how, if a Systems Thinking approach were to be applied to the UK housing industry’s problems, many of them could be resolved to the benefit of all the parties involved – government, housebuilders, material suppliers, the warranty industry, the design industry and the end users. These are shared problems, and they require shared solutions, but without first understanding these complex problems from the perspectives of all parties that need to benefit from the solutions being proposed, it is unlikely that those solutions will achieve the level of engagement needed for them to successfully meet their objectives.

Free Download Thinking Like an Economist: How Efficiency Replaced Equality in U.S. Public Policy by Elizabeth Popp Berman, Suzie Althens, HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09RQZ64SJ | 12 hours and 3 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 331 Mb
For decades, Democratic politicians have frustrated progressives by tinkering around the margins of policy while shying away from truly ambitious change. What happened to bold political vision on the left, and what shrunk the very horizons of possibility? In Thinking like an Economist, Elizabeth Popp Berman tells the story of how a distinctive way of thinking – an "economic style of reasoning" – became dominant in Washington between the 1960s and the 1980s and how it continues to dramatically narrow debates over public policy today.
Introduced by liberal technocrats who hoped to improve government, this way of thinking was grounded in economics. At its core was an economic understanding of efficiency, and its advocates often found themselves allied with Republicans and in conflict with liberal Democrats who argued for rights, equality, and limits on corporate power. By the Carter administration, economic reasoning had spread throughout government policy and laws affecting poverty, healthcare, antitrust, transportation, and the environment.

Free Download The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BR8KLTMF | 2023 | 7 hours and 4 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 394 MB
Author: Ellen J. Langer
Narrator: Subhadra Newton
When it comes to our health, we tend to live our lives as though our ailments-our stiff knees or frayed nerves or diminished eyesight-can change only in one direction: for the worse. Award-winning social psychologist Ellen J. Langer’s life’s work proves the fault in this negative outlook as well as the healing power of its alternative: mindfulness-the process of active noticing where we are not bound by past experience or conventional wisdom. In The Mindful Body, Dr. Langer unpacks her assumption-busting findings and outlines her bold new theory of mind-body unity, along the way clearly demonstrating how our thoughts and perspectives have the potential to profoundly shape our well-being.

Author: Berthold Gunster
Narrator: Boris Hiestand
Published in English for the first time, this international bestseller introduces the power of omdenken-or flip thinking-to transform stuck-in-the-mud, pessimistic thought into an inventive, curious mindset, so you can stop saying "yes, but" to life, and start saying "yes, and." In this riveting book, Berthold Gunster presents fifteen strategies to transform your thoughts away from limitations and negativities and towards possibilities and opportunities. From disrupting (turn all the rules upside down) to flaunting (play up what you want to hide), from importing (get the enemy on board) to amplifying (do more of what works), Gunster’s strategies and stories will have you approaching even the most challenging problems-whether an annoying neighbor or an angry colleague or an unhappy partner-in a whole new way.
