Book Description

Computer related health issues constitute the largest part of all work-health issues and claims. Nearly 75% of all people spend a significant time in front of a computer screen. Knowledge of how to avoid computer induced health problems is becoming increasingly more important. This Decoder provides an overview, plus all the information you need to adjust your working practices and set up your work station in order to avoid being crippled by your computer.

What are Decoders?

Decoders are information wheels designed to present maximum information on a given subject matter in an easily understood, clear format. The unique design usually involves a number of turning wheels on which the information has been organized in such a way as to allow rapid access and instant recognition.

Extensive research has been put into each Decoder to ensure that all data is comprehensive and up to date. The data is presented in its purest format. This allows very large amounts of information to be presented in a physically small space. The information density makes each Decoder equivalent to a substantial book.

Decoders are designed to stimulate the reader and act as an introduction to each subject. The purchase of a Decoder is a cost-efficient way of gaining insight into a subject matter which can later be deepened by adding other information sources.

The Decoder concept is very ecologicallyas it presents a maximum amount of information using a minimum amount of material resource. The Decoders are made from durable materials and coated for protection. ... Read more

Wake up!! You're at work!!
As an employer of over 350 employees, I think this book may be the best way to jump start their thinking. In an engaging way,this book makes a point of challenging your every thought and helps one find some light at the end of the tunnel. Read it twice and give it out to everyone in your organization, particularly those people who have been there too long.

Smart, Fun and Thought-Provoking
This book is great for anyone who has ever thought before.

It combines fun anecdotes, lessons about adjusting your thinking (that don't necessarliy hit you till hours later), and optimizing your brain power. It taught me a lot about how to get through the day at work and in life in a more efficient, productive and objective manner.

I really liked it - and still like thinking about it. I need to read it again!

Simple advice that really helps
This is a great read that entertains you while still helping you to learn new ways of thinking and behaving. Some of the common sense approaches in here will make you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself! It takes reading Naked at Work to help you see why so many of your fears are unfounded, and how easy it is to ease them. I recommend this book for anyone having a tough time at work.

How true!
I don't know anyone who isn't stressed at work, and for all sorts of reasons. This book shows you that much of the stress can be overcome! Yes! In fact, most of these fears and anxieties are unfounded. I saw this book featured in PARENTS magazine, and I rushed out to buy my copy. It was well worth it. The book offer simple, straightforward solutions to make the workplace a better, more peaceful, place. I really enjoyed this book. It's actually FUN to read, even though it's quite informative. ...

Awesome
I've been reading self-help books for years and I can honestly say this is one of the best. Absolutely amazing the concepts Dr. Anthony recommends. I believe if you want more out of life you have to BE more and that's what he talks about. Change your thinking and you'll change your life. Why not? Its an abundant universe. We can have whatever we want in life by deciding what we want. It's a fabulous book.

A good revision of an interesting book
I read the orginal book 9 years ago and it was helpful to me.I gave it to my daughter who was struggling in school and it helped her to get back on track. Robert Anthony writes well and his viewpoints are well organized. I recommend this book along with two other books if you want to "go beyond positive thinking."The first book is Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self, endorsed by Dr. Steven Covey as "A superb treatment of the idea of Personal Best" and the second is Learned Optimism, authored by the former president of the American Psychological Association.

GetWhat You Want Now
This book has been invaluable to me in my life.
It has given me the tools and the motivation to
go for what really matters to me. After reading
it and putting its principles into practice, I
now have more self-confidence and a clearer
picture of what is important to me.My marriage
is much better, my hobbies are giving me more
satisfaction, and I got a promotion at work. In
addition to this book I would also highly
recommend the dvd "New Sex Now: Life's Ultimate Pleasure"
and the CD "Voice Lessons to Go" for
anyone interested in those subjects.And the
"Artist's Way" book for anyone at all.

Positively not positive thinking?
This book claims to be a common-sense approach to success in life.And the author says it goes `Beyond Positive Thinking'.However, let's face it.This is the same stuff you've seen before.Note: this book was first published in 1988 under the title: "The Advanced Formula for Total Success"And it embraces the same positive visualization technique you've tried before.If someone sees something revolutionary in the book I've missed, please post that.

One thing the book emphasizes is aligning a person with the universe so that they become naturally attracted towards the things they want.I've never found this to be a problem.I want the things I want.I don't always get the things I want, but I still want them.My desires remain oriented towards what I want.

Here's the thing I wish the book included.I was hoping the book allowed the individual to evaluate the things he/she wants.That is, I was waiting for a measure by which to determine what desires to pursue and which to turn away from.There's no distinction made between good and bad emotions, desires, and wants.I'm not suggesting all desires should be suppressed, but I'm suggesting it's important to differentiate between the good and the bad.

In short, this book is 80's California-based self help material. You've read it before.Might I suggest something a little more rigorous?Maybe something that's even older and has stood the test of time?Don't settle - look for the best.

One important purpose of this book is to help you train yourself to observe, to develop deep insight into human action. You'll want to ask yourself you wil find the true.
