In particular, I thank my husband, David, for his support of my calling and willingness to fund the process; my son, Danny, for his belief in me and for answering my endless technical questions and website issues; my daughter, Maggie, the utmost care to listen to my fears and encourage me in the process; and my parents, Dan and Marlene Jensen, for their ceaseless prayers and support. In particular, I wish to acknowledge two key people who were instrumental in my process. First, I extend gratitude to Lead Mentor Dr. MaryKate Morse, Ph.D. She modeled humbleness and wisdom while pushing us to engage and experience God and our calling more deeply. Second, I am exceptionally grateful to Dr. Shawna Lafreniere, Ph.D., who served as my Primary Advisor. Her wisdom and presence led me to think more deeply, while modeling a belief in me that exceeded my own. And finally, I extend gratitude to my Lord and Savior, without whom none of this would be possible. iv EPIGRAPH Shame is the most powerful force in the universe besides love.

The Trinity and the Incarnation shape my faith, guide my beliefs, and have become the interpretive lens for all other doctrines and scripture. These two theological anchors have practical and radical consequences for my convictions regarding addiction, shame, and recovery. To be clear, Trinitarian theology has to do with “Who,” more than “why” or “how.” Trinitarianism is inherently mysterious. It describes the mystery of God. It is revealed in Christ and the Spirit as the mystery of love. All of life (creation) is held and energized by the Trinity. Everything that is created is in the process of being restored. The Incarnation, the Word becoming flesh, is God’s incarnation in Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus of Nazareth is Jesus the Christ – the visible icon of the invisible God. Jesus discloses what it looks like and means to be fully personal, divine as well as human. I believe God’s incarnation in Christ reaches into the heart of material, biological, and social existence and even affects the darker sides of creation. The Gospel, as well as the good news of the Gospel, grounds my theological anchors. The core of the gospel is two-fold. First, Jesus came to give us life. It is realized in a relationship with Jesus, experienced as freedom, healing, and belonging, and seen as a confident expectation and assurance by others.1 Second, humanity are the sons and daughters of the Good and Loving God. The Gospel is available to all,

  • PROPEL to Quality Healthcare
    Advance Praise Tom has a passion for patient safety and in this book he brings to light evidence- based, effective plans that work. We have a lot to learn from the science of positive psychology, including how we can, literally, rewire our brains to be better at problem-solving—particularly in times of crisis—and how we can consistently work together in ways that enhance the care we provide. At the same time, you’ll find that what you’ll learn from this book will support your growth as a profes- sional and as a human being. Peter J. Pronovost, MD Author of Safe Patients, Smart Hospitals Director of the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality Senior Vice President for Patient Safety and Quality at Johns Hopkins Medicine I worked with PROPEL for years at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland. It’s amazing to me what these principles can do to engage a multidisci- plinary healthcare team. The units that used PROPEL saw results such as increased employee engagement scores, decreased falls, and decreased turnover. People started coming to work were happy to be there, instead of dreading the issues that were bound to come up. PROPEL changed the way that our teams viewed and solved problems. Problems became an opportunity to improve and collaborate rather than a way of bringing the team down. The staff started supporting each other and work became more like a family. I’m now the senior vice president of Patient Care Services and chief nursing officer at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC) HealthCare, Baltimore, Maryland and have already brought PROPEL to this organization because I know about the positive changes it creates.

  • La Escalera De La Complejidad Vida Artificial Ii
    LA ESCALERA DE LA COMPLEJIDAD VIDA ARTIFICIAL II Á E G B ste libro es una mezcla de ensayo e investigación acerca de cómo usar las herramientas presentadas en el libro anterior con el objetivo de crear sistemas de complejidad creciente que nos llevan hacia entes Econ libertad, inteligencia y consciencia. En particular, hago un desarrollo completamente nuevo sobre este último tema, la consciencia, explicada des- de un punto de vista computacional. Ya tengo un artículo publicado sobre ello, otro sometido a revisión en una revista y otro en curso de escribirlo. Quiero resaltar la importancia del tema, por lo que es preciso su divulga- ción. La consciencia ha sido el último rincón oscuro de la ciencia durante demasiados años, y no ha habido propuestas interesantes para resolverlo hasta ahora. Se explica la complejidad, como se puede definir y medir. Introduce los conceptos de emergencia, cambio de fase, auto organización, si la compleji- dad puede crecer indefinidamente y si es un fenómeno gradual o no. Como propuesta original, presento un algoritmo evolutivo que sirve para generar complejidad de manera universal. Lo siguiente que aparece en la escalera de la complejidad es la inteligen- cia, para lo cual no se requiere mucho. Ofrezco una definición de inteligen- cia basada únicamente en la capacidad de predecir. Se es más inteligente cuanto mejores predicciones se hacen respecto al sucesos futuros y cuando más profundamente en el tiempo se pueda hacer. La inteligencia es enton- ces un complementario de la libertad (no contrario, sino complementario, pues se ayudan mutuamente a crecer). Sin olvidar los recientes avances en Deep Learning de la Inteligencia Artificial, se presenta una propuesta de los distintos algoritmos que usa la inteligencia.
