The Psychology Of Technology
Aaron Balick literally wrote the book on the psychology of social media - in fact the first book to apply psychodynamic thinking to this important phenomena. Navigating the world of social media and other technologies, from smartphones to AI, can be a challenge. From online dating to business communication technologies, we all need to better understand the nature of our reliance on technology and the consequences it has on our lives. Aaron draws on his deep understanding of the psychology of technology to enable us to make better choices about how we engage with it personally, as well as how businesses can integrate technology more humanely within the workplace.
Psychological Wellbeing And Excellence In The Workplace
Drawing on research and practices from emotional intelligence, mindfulness, positive psychology, psychoanalysis, and clinical psychology, Aaron Balick offers direct insights and practices into how leaders, managers, and teams can better work together in creating psychologically safe, emotionally intelligent, flourishingly productive, and creative workplaces.
The Elements Of Personal Leadership
Incorporating the importance of individual differences and knowing that there is no "one size fits all" approach to human flourishing, Aaron Balick has developed an inclusive psychological model that accepts the complexity within us all. Before we can lead others, we must learn to lead and trust ourselves. We can do this by identifying our own conflicting needs and developing an "internal leader" to guide us in the direction that best suits us and those around us.
