Achieving the health-related United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 promises to be a significant challenge for most nations, particularly in what has become a severely resource-constrained global environment. As a consequence, public health professionals who possess deep knowledge and advanced analytic operational skills are likely to be highly valued within their respective health systems. To help prepare students to enter the public health workforce and meet these critical goals, the College of Global Public Health (GPH) at New York University has announced a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree focused on health in the SDGs. The program will develop exceptional analytic and strategic decision-making skills in public health so that its graduates can help governments at all levels achieve health-related SDGs. In a competitive selection process, twenty high-potential students from low-income nations, including many in Sub-Saharan Africa, will be identified to receive a 90% scholarship, making the program affordable to scholars where they can benefit from it most. #NYU #SDGs #2030 #sustainable #development #Africa #globaldevelopment #MPH Click on the link below for more information. https://lnkd.in/e6gieaP …see more

It wasn't until I understood the deeper psychology of distraction that I could do something about it. There's a famous saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.” And that's what most of us do. Day in and day out, we keep getting distracted by the same things. And so, the idea here is that when you understand the deeper psychology of distraction, when you understand what actually drives us to do the things we don't want to do that are against our better interests, we can do something about it. And that's what being Indistractable is all about. For a recent feature in Entrepreneur Media , I discussed the psychology behind distraction, how distraction affects the workplace, and more. Check out more of my conversation with Robert McGovern at the link in the comments below and learn how you can “Push Back Against Distraction!” #Indistractable #ConsumerPsychology #WorkplaceCulture #Tech #HumanBehavior #Entrepreneur …see more

Time management is pain management, meaning every time we get distracted, we are distracting ourselves for the purpose of emotional pacification. If we don’t face that fact, then we will always get distracted by something. I recently had the chance to sit down with Holly Hester-Reilly on the H2R Product Science Podcast and ask questions relevant to this topic, such as: - Why don’t we do what we say we’re going to do? - What is traction, and how is it the opposite of distraction? - How can you address distraction within your corporate culture? - And More! Give the full episode a listen at the link in the comments below and be sure to share your thoughts with me! 👇👇👇 #Indistractable #HumanBehavior #Distraction #ProductScience #ProductDesign …see more

There’s a trend in tech right now that helps people spend less time on their phones. I love this trend. However, it begs the question: “Why would a company build a feature into a product that makes you want to use a product less?” I love answering questions from readers about Hooked and how emerging trends in tech are closely connected to human behavior. If you have a question, send it over and I might post the answer on my social media profiles! Twitter: @nireyal Facebook: Nir Eyal P.S. I once had the same question and wrote an article on my blog addressing it. Check out the link in the comments below! #Hooked #HumanBehavior #Technology …see more

Oh Milwaukee, city of dreams, beer, and Harley Davidson. A brand I didn't fully understand until I fell in love with a Standard Softail with ape hangers and straight pipes, one Wisconsin summer. A brand that brings people together that stand united. A brand that turns strangers into family with one twist of the throttle. Clubs from across the world brought together by two- and three-piece patches. But this is my ode to MILWAUKEE... My club life lessons and obsession with the marketing program at Harley-Davidson Motor Company can come another day 😉 Or you can just read my article about what the MC taught me about personal branding and success 😉😉 Milwaukee is a city that I spent a few magical years in, living off-campus and attending UWM. Go Panthers! So many midwestern hearts overflow downtown like the foam on my Miller Lite on tap. That's why Joel Lalgee , Shannon Bowling , Sam Lister , and myself are so jazzed to host LinkedIn Local Milwaukee next Thursday! Will we see you there?! #Milwaukee …see more
