About this deal

Connection with others in the workplace who lift you up and genuinely care about you powers collaboration, innovation, and creativity, particularly if we can be vulnerable and authentic. Resonant relationships are like emotional vitamins, sustaining us through tough times and nourishing us daily,” writes Daniel Goleman in Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships. In the recent competition between liberal and political capitalisms, the latter, exemplified primarily by China, has displayed higher economic growth. Relative economic power has shifted towards the Asian giants. In this timely book which X-ray-like looks at the ‘insides’ of the Asian model, Commander and Estrin present a much more informed and nuanced view than the usual ‘crony capitalism’ dismissal. The Asian capitalism based on family, connections, trust among the insiders, and porous relations between the state and the private sector might succumb to corruption, but it may also show itself to be more nimble than its Western counterpart.’ Challenge every video meeting to ensure that it is the best way to collaborate. When is the phone more appropriate? Which meetings can you cut? Highlights the challenges to the Asian systems based on networks of connections linking politicians and businesses, especially in the areas of innovation and job creation

Burke traces the invention of the fluyt freighter in Holland in the 16th century. Voyages were insured by Edward Lloyd ( Lloyd's of London) if the ships' hulls were covered in pitch and tar (which came from the colonies until the American War of Independence in 1776). In Culross, Scotland, Archibald Cochrane (9th Earl of Dundonald) tried to distill coal vapour to get coal tar for ships' hulls, which led to the discovery of ammonia. The search for artificial quinine to treat malaria led to the development of artificial dyes, which Germany used to produce fertilizers to grow wheat and led to the advancement of chemistry which in turn led to DuPont's discovery of polymers such as nylon. Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer. If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.When researchers refer to the concept of social connection, they mean the feeling that you belong to a group and generally feel close to other people. Scientific evidence strongly suggests that this is a core psychological need, essential to feeling satisfied with your life. The original 1978 Connections 10-episode documentary television series was created, written, and presented by science historian James Burke and had a companion book ( Connections, based on the series). The 1978 Connections companion book was published about the time the middle of the series was airing, so likely was written in parallel to the series and had a postproduction editing release. [3] The very popular book was re-released as a work in a 1995 edition, in 1998 (relations to sections below is unknown), and again in 2007 as both hardcover or softcover editions. Since the television series varied in content with each corresponding production run and release, the companion volumes (as is suggested by the plethora of ISBN codes) are also likely to be different works. This 1978 work's coverage deviates in some topics and details being both more in depth and a bit broader, from the lighter coverage of the episodes. Social connection is often described as feeling part of something larger than oneself, to feel close to others and feel welcomed and understood. Recent studies looking at the effects of human interactions on health outcomes, identified that not having meaningful connections can be worse for our health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day and is twice as dangerous to our health than obesity. Who’d have thought our physical health would be at such risk? In contrast, meaningful social connections correlate with our levels of happiness and serve as a buffer to stress. They can also help maintain a healthy weight, control blood sugar levels, and improve our overall mental health.

Social connections are sometimes called “social capital” for good reason: They are a valuable resource in life, creating moments of positivity and fun, supporting us through good times and bad, and exposing us to new ideas and new people. If we cultivate healthy connections, the research promises a longer, happier, and more prosperous life. Years later, the success in syndication led to three sequels. Connections 2 (1994) and Connections 3 (1997) were made for TLC. In November 2023, the six-episode series Connections with James Burke, premiered on Curiosity Stream, again with Burke as the on-screen presenter. [1] Asia’s enormous and sustained growth has come about thanks to concentration in resources, assets and market power. The paradox is that those same features have created an organisational and political structure that will be deleterious to the region’s prospects in the next phase of its development – unless the policy framework adapts. Mental Subtraction of Relationships: Learn to appreciate a loved one more by imagining your life without them. Connections explores an "Alternative View of Change" (the subtitle of the series) that rejects the conventional linear and teleological view of historical progress. Burke contends that one cannot consider the development of any particular piece of the modern world in isolation. Rather, the entire gestalt of the modern world is the result of a web of interconnected events, each one consisting of a person or group acting for reasons of their own motivations (e.g., profit, curiosity, religion) with no concept of the final, modern result to which the actions of either them or their contemporaries would lead. The interplay of the results of these isolated events is what drives history and innovation, and is also the main focus of the series and its sequels.

Join the speakers and Minouche Shafik, Director of LSE, for an evening exploring what the future could hold for Asian capitalism. Provides new insights from an interdisciplinary analysis of Asia's resurgence and its prospects in the 21st century, including identifying the constraints on further, rapid economic growth and development
