THE ANT AND THE ELEPHANT: LEADERSHIP FOR THE SELF

Book ID/图书代码： 14936512B54993

English Summary/英文概要： A renowned speaker, business consultant, record-setting speed skier and Olympian, Vince Poscente believes in the enormous potential of the unconscious mind. Poscente likens the dynamic between the conscious and subconscious minds to an ant and an elephant: Our minds are separated into two distinct functions- the conscious and subconscious elements. Our ant is the intentional part of the brain, but our elephant is the instinctual, impulsive part of the brain that houses emotions and memories and even guides the body to perform vital functions. While we tend to know our conscious minds- our ants -rather well, we often overlook the power of our elephantine subconscious minds. When we do, unfortunately, we squander a wellspring of human potential. Having seen too many books focused on what a problem or solution is and too few focused on how to solve the problem, Poscente, with his trademark wit, wisdom and steely resolve, created The Ant and the Elephant- Leadership for the Self: A Parable and Five-Step Action Plan to Transform Workplace Performance.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 文斯•蒲善提是知名的演说家、商业顾问、快速滑雪的记录保持者和奥运会选手，他认为潜意识具有巨大的潜力。蒲善提将意识和潜意识之间的动态关系比拟为蚂蚁和大象：我们的大脑具有两种截然不同的功能——意识成分和潜意识成分。蚂蚁寓指大脑的意识部分。而大象则寓指大脑本能、冲动的部分，该部分掌管着情绪、记忆，甚至引导身体执行生理机能。尽管我们一般对意识——即蚂蚁部分——了解较多，但我们常会忽视潜意识的巨大能力。不幸的是，一旦忽视潜意识，我们将浪费源源不断的人类潜能。市面上不乏关注问题是什么或解决途径是什么的书，但鲜有书籍关注如何解决问题。蒲善提凭借他独特的才智、常识和坚强的意志，创作了《蚂蚁和大象：领导自我》：一本能改善工作业绩的寓言和五步行动计划。(LNL)
