This document discusses different types of anger such as irritation, resentment, envy, and guilt. It explores the function of anger as a response to threats and identifies common threat themes. Different activities are provided to help identify triggers of anger and the threats underlying resentment, envy, guilt, and regret in order to address them in a way that promotes well-being. Forgiveness is presented as a means of letting go of anger and reclaiming one's power.
Amy Oppenheimer is an expert in workplace investigations and bias elimination. She discussed various types of unconscious biases that can impact investigations including implicit biases, confirmation bias, priming effects, and anchoring. Studies show biases can influence how questions are asked, witness memory, hiring decisions, and how evidence is interpreted. To reduce bias, investigators should consider alternative explanations, multiple suspects, and replace initial intuitions with deliberative thinking. Eliminating bias requires awareness of cognitive shortcuts and actively considering how perspectives and assumptions may be influencing judgments.

Examines codependency in terms of its function to help the codependent survive, identifies common cognitive pitfalls and proposes some basic interventions to get people started addressing their codependency issues.
Unconscious biases are mental associations that are ingrained and automatic, influencing quick judgments and assessments without our awareness or control. They are shaped by background, environment and experiences. While serving an important cognitive function, unconscious biases can negatively impact workplaces by leading people to favor others similar to themselves when hiring or making other decisions. Overcoming unconscious bias is important for better decision making, promoting a positive and diverse work environment, resolving conflicts, fostering creativity, and ensuring equal opportunity. Diversity in organizations has also been directly linked to benefits like increased innovation, business growth, problem solving abilities, creativity, and financial performance.

A strategist's work is fluid and allows building on ideas that work well. Their role is to bring out the hope, fear and adventure inside organizations to drive strategic objectives forward in a measurable way.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi proposes a systems model of creativity that views creativity as emerging from the interaction between an individual, a domain, and a field. [1] The model posits that a creative idea must be novel within a cultural domain, be selected for inclusion by the gatekeepers within that domain's field, and eventually influence the culture at large. [2] Csikszentmihalyi argues that considering only individuals fails to account for the external cultural factors that influence creativity. [3] The systems model provides a framework for understanding how culture, society, and personal background interact to either enable or constrain creative contributions.
1) The document discusses Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's systems theory of creativity, which views creativity as emerging from the interaction between individuals, domains of knowledge, and fields of experts and influencers.
2) Csikszentmihalyi outlines how creative ideas arise from individuals but must be validated and selected for inclusion by the relevant cultural and social fields.
3) Key aspects of Csikszentmihalyi's systems model include the cultural domain which transmits existing knowledge, the individual practitioner who produces innovations, and the field of gatekeepers who evaluate and select innovations to retain and transmit through the domain.
The document discusses evidence for using omega-3 fatty acids and SAM-e as alternative therapies for mental illness. It summarizes a study finding St. John's Wort effective for mild-to-moderate depression. The document focuses on omega-3 fatty acids, explaining that historical diets had a healthier 1:1-2:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids compared to the modern 10:1-30:1 ratio.

1. Family systems theory views families as interconnected systems where each individual's behavior impacts and is impacted by others through circular causality.
2. Within families, typical roles and rules develop that maintain homeostasis and resist change, even if change may be desirable.
