The Person Inside the Present: Narcissists Buy to Big Themselves Up
Christmas is around the corner and many of us will be thinking of what to buy our loved ones (or ourselves) this festive holiday.
But what is the psychology behind gift-giving?
Early results from research led by Dr Aiden Gregg from the University of Southampton, have shown that people with narcissistic tendencies want to purchase products, both for others and for themselves, that positively distinguish them -- that is, that make them stand out from the crowd.

Managing the myths of health care
Author: Henry Mintzberg
Abstract:
Myths impede the effective management of health care, for example that the system is failing (indeed, that is a system), and can be fixed by detached social engineering and heroic leadership, or treating it more like a business. This field needs to reframe its management, as distributed beyond the “top”; its strategy as venturing, not planning; its organizing as collaboration beyond control, and especially itself, as a system beyond its parts.
