| "Dr Brian Little challenges what we think we know about how our personality works and is shaped It's time to think beyond the nature vs nurture debate It is our pursuit of our dreams and our personal passions that shape who we are Previous praise for Dr Brian Little 'Brian Little is one of the wisest funniest kindest and most erudite people I have ever met' Susan Cain bestselling author of Quiet 'With extraordinary wit and wisdom distinguished psychologist Brian Little offers startling insights' Adam Grant bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals Who Are You Really? presents a distinctive view of how personality shapes our lives - and why this matters Dr Brian Little makes the case for a third nature to the human condition - the pursuit of personal projects crazy dreams and creative ventures that shape both people's lives and their personalities Stable traits of personality (now identified as the 'Big Five' openness conscientiousness extraversion agreeableness and neuroticism) have important links with well-being both psychological and physical But in contrast with these fixed traits of personality there are what Little identifies as 'free traits' These are traits that run counter to one's first nature Why do we engage in free trait behaviour? We do so to advance core personal projects in our lives; we can act out of character because of the demands of professionalism or the imperatives of love Like learning to walk forcing ourselves out of balance as we step forward may be temporarily disconcerting But it is the only way literally in which we can move forward And it is the only way that human flourishing can be enhancedWho Are You Really? provides a deeply personal itinerary for exploring our personalities our lives and the human condition"

| "Safety has traditionally been defined as a condition where the number of adverse outcomes was as low as possible (Safety-I) From a Safety-I perspective the purpose of safety management is to make sure that the number of accidents and incidents is kept as low as possible or as low as is reasonably practicable This means that safety management must start from the manifestations of the absence of safety and that - paradoxically - safety is measured by counting the number of cases where it fails rather than by the number of cases where it succeeds This unavoidably leads to a reactive approach based on responding to what goes wrong or what is identified as a risk - as something that could go wrong Focusing on what goes right rather than on what goes wrong changes the definition of safety from 'avoiding that something goes wrong' to 'ensuring that everything goes right' More precisely Safety-II is the ability to succeed under varying conditions so that the number of intended and acceptable outcomes is as high as possible From a Safety-II perspective the purpose of safety management is to ensure that as much as possible goes right in the sense that everyday work achieves its objectives This means that safety is managed by what it achieves (successes things that go right) and that likewise it is measured by counting the number of cases where things go right In order to do this safety management cannot only be reactive it must also be proactive But it must be proactive with regard to how actions succeed to everyday acceptable performance rather than with regard to how they can fail as traditional risk analysis does This book analyses and explains the principles behind both approaches and uses this to consider the past and future of safety management practices The analysis makes use of common examples and cases from domains such as aviation nuclear power production process management and health care The final chapters explain the theoret"

And how might a real-life Victor Frankenstein have gone about creating his monster? From tales of volcanic eruptions artificial life and chemical revolutions to experimental surgery 'monsters' and electrical experiments on human cadavers Kathryn Harkup examines the science and scientists that influenced Shelley and inspired her most famous creation"
