Join 📚 Fabien's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Fabien's read, .
The Mayo Clinic actually managed to quantify the power of love-in-work. It asked physicians how much of their time at work they spent doing those activities they loved the most. Those who reported that they spent at least 20 percent of their time doing things they loved had dramatically lower risk of burnout. Each percentage point reduction below this 20 percent level resulted in a commensurate and almost linear increase in burnout risk. Remove the love from a physician’s work, and the work grates, and grates some more, until it hurts.
Nine Lies About Work
Marcus Buckingham, Ashley Goodall
Les singes sont très attentifs à ce que fait le chef, et l’on a même pu montrer qu’ils sont prêts à sacrifier des plaisirs substantiels comme le jus de pomme dont ils raffolent, uniquement pour pouvoir passer du temps à visionner des photos de ces personnages de haut rang de leur groupe. La fascination pour les célébrités est donc un trait caractéristique des primates, qui se manifeste déjà bien avant l’émergence de l’humanité. Elle révèle une affinité puissante du cerveau pour tout ce qui se passe en termes de hiérarchie et de comparaison sociale au sein d’un groupe.
Le Bug Humain
Sébastien BOHLER
it might be “wiser … to confine the referendum to questions involving general principles alone, and to the class of matters where the public is normally familiar with the facts required for a decision, than to extend it promiscuously to questions where a rational opinion can be formed only by a knowledge of details with which the ordinary man does not readily become acquainted”
