Jump start hope, kick your creativity into gear, and explode your definition of the possible A self improvement book like nothing you've ever seen-or heard: a book and podcasting joint production brings to light an insight-boosting audio/visual method for changing the way you think and maximizing your creative potential. Recommended by the American Psychological Association, the therapeutic method works on two different levels. Powerful four color images accompanied by penetrating questions ask us to think deeply and concentrate on our ideas and beliefs. Then the sound track uses bilateral sounds that resonate from one side of your headphones to the other, stimulating both sides of the brain. When asking the brain to communicate with itself differently, new neural networks and thought pathways form, and people begin to be able to see events and ideas through different lenses. The process heightens awareness and mindfulness and allows readers the rare opportunity to take control and live the lives they've always dreamed of and ignite the genius they've always had within.
These days, it's often easier to avoid face-to-face contact in favor of technological shortcuts. But as Michael Gelb argues in this compelling, entertaining book, the meaningful relationships that come from real interaction are the key to creating innovative ideas and solving our most intractable problems. In The Art of Connection, Gelb offers readers seven methods of developing this essential rapport in their professional and personal lives. Each chapter covers specific techniques and illustrates them with memorable stories, relevant scientific research, and hands-on exercises that allow readers to apply their new skills. Most important, Gelb reminds us that developing rapport with others is not just a business tool to enhance productivity but a valuable end in itself. He guides us to cultivate the skills we all need to deepen our relationships, broaden our humanity, and transform our lives.
Cakes for the Queen of Heaven explores the relationship between women's religious history and the personal issues that arise in women living in this patriarchal society. Women struggle with issues of body image, troubled mother-daughter relationships, sexual freedom and access to power. We need to know that there was a time when the female body was sacred; that there once was a long-lasting religion in which the chief divine actors were a mother and her daughter; that in very ancient times women had significant power in their societies; that although patriarchal societies have oppressed women for centuries, there have always been strong and talented women. Our female history has been erased and trivialized for too long. In this book we meet ancient goddesses and their stories from around the world, real women in ancient Sumer, in Greece, in Judaism and in Christianity. In Cakes for the Queen of Heaven the past is before us, the women are there, and they help us change our lives.
Genius is a fascinating topic. Everyone has an opinion on it, but not a lot of clarity. Much has been written on the subject - biographies, autobiographies, technical books, popular science books, and practical manuals - but genius in all of its dimensions has yet to be addressed. This book seeks to remedy that. What follows is a work of significant breadth that hopes to facilitate a nuanced popular understanding of the definition of genius, examining all of the main theories and approaches regarding the nature and origin of brilliance, the cognitive path that geniuses follow, and the difference that exists between “geniuses” on one side and “normal people” on the other. Pragmatic indications surrounding this issue are also examined, regarding such questions as: is it possible to become a genius or is genius innate? If it is possible, what is the path – no doubt long and difficult – that one must take? Is there a method for becoming a genius that can be taught and learned? This book will appeal to anyone who has ever contemplated great ideas and works and wondered how they came into being.
"Chris Nutter came out of the closet with a bang--in a brutally honest essay for Details magazine. His essay gave gay issues an explosive new voice and launched his career in exploratory journalism writing for magazines and newspapers such as Details, The New York Times, New York Post and the Village Voice. He also became the unofficial counselor for hundreds of confused gay men. Now, twelve years later, he shares all he has learned about gay life in America. Using his own experiences and those of the countless gay men he has written about and mentored, Nutter creates a step-by-step chronology of the typical gay experience, from the realization through the experimental phase, coming out to friends, coming out to the world, the second experimental phase, being aggressively gay and eventually finding your place as a happy, healthy and contented individual. And instead of passing himself off as an expert, Nutter always imparts his advice with humor, brotherhood, inclusiveness and clarity"--Publisher's description.
