This book is about what the emotional intelligence coefficient (EQ) is, what its scope is and what ways exist to improve it. Therefore, both situations can put us in the wrong position. In the same way, being prisoners of uncontrolled emotions do not bring us closer to maturity or wisdom. Maturity can be confused with the absence of demonstration of emotions, but this is far from the truth. Being a person with emotional intelligence involves two parts: knowing and controlling one's emotions, as well as understanding those of others. That is why this book is about the connection between a deeper understanding within ourselves, and in relation to others. ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK Undoubtedly, emotional intelligence has a direct impact on the wellbeing of the mind and body which, in turn, is reflected in the daily performance of all our activities. ![]()

![]() ![]() In exposing biblical literalism as unworkable as well as enumerating the mistakes of modern secularists, Smith presents the very soul of a real and substantive faith, one still relevant and worth believing in. This is not the exclusivist Christianity of strict fundamentalists, nor the liberal, watered-down Christianity practiced by many contemporary churchgoers. Though there is a wide variety of contemporary interpretations of Christianity-some of them conflicting-Smith cuts through these to describe Christianity's "Great Tradition," the common faith of the first millennium of believers, which is the trunk of the tree from which Christianity's many branches, twigs, and leaves have grown. With stories and personal anecdotes, Smith not only presents the basic beliefs and essential teachings of Christianity, but argues why religious belief matters in today's secular world. ![]() Huston Smith In his most personal and passionate book on the spiritual life, renowned author, scholar, and teacher of world religions Huston Smith turns to his own life-long religion, Christianity. "I have tried to describe a Christianity which is fully compatible with everything we now know, and to indicate why Christians feel privileged to give their lives to it." ![]() ![]() ![]() Tropic of Capricorn - Banned in America for almost thirty years because of its explicit sexual content, this companion volume to Miller's Tropic of Cancer chronicles his life in 1920s New York City. ![]() Only a historic court ruling that changed American censorship standards, ushering in a new era of freedom and frankness in modern literature, permitted the publication of this first volume of Miller’s famed mixture of memoir and fiction, which chronicles with unapologetic gusto the bawdy adventures of a young expatriate writer, his friends, and the characters they meet in Paris in the 1930s. ![]() Tropic of Cancer - Now hailed as an American classic Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller’s masterpiece, was banned as obscene in this country for twenty-seven years after its first publication in Paris in 1934.

Despite the large cast, Bray makes the Misses distinctive, though each is more a stand-in for a particular brand of diversity than a fully dimensional teenager (one's black, one's deaf, one's gay, one is a boy in the process of becoming a girl). Lord of the Flies with an evening gown competition, anyone? Led by the indefatigable Miss Texas, Taylor Rene Krystal Hawkins, the 14 surviving contestants must rely on competitive moxie. Bray follows her Printz Award%E2%80%93winner, Going Bovine, with an only slightly less absurd premise in this out-there satire about a planeload of teen beauty queens who crash onto a (not so) deserted island. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yoos friendly illustrations have a soft visual texture, and while the palette darkens considerably at the height of the storm and some characters register alarm at the thunder and lightning, the art overall creates a cozy, safe feeling.

![]() ![]() ![]() “As a writer,” she says, “I love writing about places that seem obvious to us, but that it turns out we really don’t know very much about. The other, she is quick to add, is just as personal. ![]() As Orlean tells Kirkus, one thing that motivated her to write about libraries in the first place was a desire to acknowledge the emotional import of books, and of family, of parents who care enough for their children to introduce them to reading and the world of books and writing in the first place. Yet the title is about the only simple part of a story that, like Orlean’s best-known book, The Orchid Thief, begins on an offbeat note and goes into realms that become ever less familiar as it moves along. So it is that Orlean’s new book is called, simply, The Library Book. And as for libraries-well, she’s been a lifelong bibliophile and library addict since childhood, inducted by her mother into a magical place where books were hers to be had for the asking, taught to be a reader with her mother’s endless encouragement, for which she remains grateful to this day. Having written more than a few of them herself, Susan Orlean is not the kind of person who easily leaves a bookstore or book sale empty-handed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (Hawthorne, CA, U.S.A.)
