¿No esta cansado de ir corriendo todos los dias para llegar a tiempo a su trabajo, para luego correr para llegar a tiempo a buscar a sus niños sorteando innumerables problemas de transporte? ¿No seria mas logico que cada cual realizara su trabajo en el horario que mas le conviniera? Aunque la respuesta mayoritaria sera afirmativa, parece ser tan solo una utopia. La realidad cotidiana es que todos trabajamos al mismo tiempo los mismos dias. Sin embargo las autora de este libro proponen una alternativa radical: el sistema ROWE que ha dejado de ser una utopia para muchos. / Do you hate cramming all of your errands into the weekend? Do you resent having to beg permission to watch your kids weekday soccer game? Are you tired of seeing people who arent very good at their jobs get promoted because they arrive early and stay late? Theres got to be a better wayand there is! Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson show that everyone benefits when we change the focus from hours to outcomes. Its just that our traditional definition of workMonday through Friday, nine to fivedoesnt make sense in the always-on global economy. So, Ressler and Thompson created the Results-Only Work Environment. In a ROWE, you control when, where, and how long you work. As long as you meet your objectives, the way you spend your time is entirely up to you. Suddenly, work isnt a place you go, its a thing you do. In a ROWE, there are no mandatory meetings or fixed schedules. You stop doing any activity that wastes time, and no one criticizes you for leaving early or coming in late. If you do your best work at midnight or on Sundays, go for it!...

The SCM Studyguide to Christian Spirituality is designed as a lucid and comprehensive introduction to spirituality for students of all religious backgrounds, especially those coming to the subject for the first time. Part One looks at the Christian spiritual tradition through an encyclopaedic study of a variety of spiritual writers. These are treated chronologically: the Bible, the patristic period, the time when monasticism triumphed, the Middle Ages, the Reformation, and the post-Enlightenment period. Part Two, which could also be used at a more advanced level, explores Christian spirituality through a range of interdisciplinary themes.

The final chapter raises urgent contemporary issues: the relation of Christian spirituality to that of other faiths, and to â postmodernâ culture in general. Each chapter concludes with questions for discussion and select further reading, and an extensive bibliography for each chapter is also provided....
