Applying the principles of human-centered design to real-world health care challenges, from drug packaging to early detection of breast cancer. This book makes a case for applying the principles of design thinking to real-world health care challenges. As health care systems around the globe struggle to expand access, improve outcomes, and control costs, Health Design Thinking offers a human-centered approach for designing health care products and services, with examples and case studies that range from drug packaging and exam rooms to internet-connected devices for early detection of breast cancer. Written by leaders in the field—Bon Ku, a physician and founder of the innovative Health Design Lab at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, and Ellen Lupton, an award-winning graphic designer and curator at Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum—the book outlines the fundamentals of design thinking and highlights important products, prototypes, and research in health design. Health design thinking uses play and experimentation rather than a rigid methodology. It draws on interviews, observations, diagrams, storytelling, physical models, and role playing; design teams focus not on technology but on problems faced by patients and clinicians. The book's diverse case studies show health design thinking in action. These include the development of PillPack, which frames prescription drug delivery in terms of user experience design; a credit card–size device that allows patients to generate their own electrocardiograms; and improved emergency room signage. Drawings, photographs, storyboards, and other visualizations accompany the case studies. Copublished with Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

Do you sometimes feel bogged down or held back by unhelpful thinking patterns and low moods? In other words: are you human? Do you have worries, regrets, and fears? Do frustrations, insecurities, or resentments get in the way of doing, feeling, and being your best self? Do you occasionally wanna curl up in a fetal ball hooked up to an IV drip of chocolate and Netflix, or punch the whole, wide, world in the face? No? Just me, then?Chaotic thinking and feeling are common internal struggles, and I think most people encounter variations of this problem in some way or another. Unhelpful negativity has a pesky way of preventing us from feeling good and doing what we want to do. It's kind of like a gallon of bird-poop smeared across the windshield of life... The "horizon of healthy thinking" concept is a clear, simple-to-use, transformative therapeutic exercise. This user-friendly process can be applied when you're feeling down, and gently move you to a place of practical engagement with reality. The third phase leads you to a mentality of tranquility, possibility and empowerment. You do all this by harnessing the underrated power of your very own thoughts. This new, enhanced mindset is called: "above the horizon" and it's where our awesomest inner selves reside. It's what makes us most conducive to happiness, growth, fulfillment and good hair days. If you know how great you feel when you're in that headspace, the tools in this book can help you do more of that, on demand. And even if it's been awhile since you last felt good, this powerful technique can help you ease yourself out of that rut, address your reality from an honest perspective, and then set you on track to becoming more like the "you" that you want to be.

Learn to create a positive work environment by accentuating the positive and illuminating the negative Illuminate argues that we can't create positive work environments without accepting the existence of the negative. Though "positive thinking" has its place in the work world, we can't ignore the negative, whether it be in the form of challenges, problems, limitations, or other negative business realities. In order to foster healthy, functional business, we have to create a culture that allows for open expression and the sharing of ideas-especially when those ideas are negative in nature. The key is that negative situations and conditions should be introduced and dealt with in a strictly positive light. The result is an organization able to look at itself honestly and stay alert to possible threats. A unique kind of business book, Illuminate is written in the style of an allegorical fable that teaches you a three-step process for confronting, examining, and fixing any problem in the office. Offers practical ways for dealing with negative situations to achieve positive outcomes Serious wisdom wrapped in a fictional format Author David Corbin operates a successful consultancy that helps industry and government maximize productivity and, therefore, profitability Corbin is also the star and co-director of the hit 2007 self-help film Pass It On; he is featured in the 2009 Napoleon Hill Foundation Film, Three Feet From Gold If your corporate culture can't deal with the negative without creating more negativity, this is the perfect guide for creating and sustaining a culture of positive change.

Positive Thinking: Discover the Power Within is a book that focuses on the good aspects of life in any given situation. It signifies foreseeing happiness, health and success instead of expecting the worst. People with a positive outlook are more likely to live a healthy lifestyle since they have a more hopeful future. Positive thinking often begins with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless fountain of unspoken thoughts that can be either positive or negative. Some self-talk arises from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that a person creates because of lack of information of what may happen. Positive and optimistic people tend to live healthier lifestyles — they indulge in more physical activity, eat a healthier meal and don't smoke or drink alcohol in excess. This book will help you manage your daily life with a positive attitude. It will bring positivity into your life and make it easier to avoid anxiety and negative thinking. Adopting positive thinking will bring constructive changes and transform our lives by eliminating negative thinking.
