Experience is a great teacher . . . except when it isn't. In this groundbreaking guide, learn how the past can deceive and limit us -- and how healthy skepticism can build a better world. Our personal experience is key to who we are and what we do. We judge others by their experience and are judged by ours. Society venerates experience. From doctors to teachers to managers to presidents, the more experience the better. It's not surprising then, that we often fall back on experience when making decisions, an easy way to make judgements about the future, a constant teacher that provides clear lessons. Yet, this intuitive reliance on experience is misplaced. In The Myth of Experience, behaviora...

The Personality Brokers

An unprecedented history of a personality test devised in the 1940s by a mother and daughter, both homemakers, that has achieved cult-like status and is used in today's most distinguished boardrooms, classrooms, and beyond. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the most popular personality test in the world. It has been harnessed by Fortune 100 companies, universities, hospitals, churches, and the military. Its language--of extraversion vs. introversion, thinking vs. feeling--has inspired online dating platforms and BuzzFeed quizzes alike. And yet despite the test's widespread adoption, experts in the field of psychometric testing, a $500 million industry, struggle to account for its success--n...

Piercing the Heart

Yunus Emre was born in 1238 in Anatolia. He was a Sufi and one of the first to compose poetry in the everyday Turkish of his people. Not much is known about the details of his life, but his work reveals a fascinating character: a tortured soul, a biting wit, a self-deprecating humor, a tough love for humanity, an ecstatic love for God, and a deep current of divine inspiration. Over 700 years later, he remains one of the most beloved poets in the Turkish language, seen by many as a folk hero and a saint. Just like us, Yunus lived in a time of upheaval and rapid change, and his poems have a vital message, showing us that reaching out for the divine can be both an escape from the world's struggles and an all-consuming struggle of its own. His intense and uncompromising humanism speaks to people in all times, all places, and all walks of life. This translation tries to capture some of the rhyme and rhythm of the original language, and to express its truth in everyday speech, the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Yunus Emre

One of the most famous poets in the history of Turkish literature, Yunus Emre (d. 1320) is well-known as a Sufi saint-poet who has exerted a great influence in both the East and the West. This book is an analysis on Emre's ardent, deceptively simple, yet powerful expressions of love, the musicality of the verse, and the daring and sometimes even daunting imagery. UNESCO celebrated 1991 as the year of Yunus Emre.

TURKISH DERVISH YUNUS EMRE WITH ALL HIS WORKS

This book was written with the aim of making a small contribution to understanding Yunus Emre a little more. To this end, it contains all the surviving works of Yunus Emre, namely his divan and the Book of Nasihatler. In addition, a summary of Yunus Emre's life can be found in the first chapter. I wanted to offer the reader an easy reading experience with this book, which can be read both by using the current Turkish versions of words that are not understood because they are rarely used today and by skipping the brackets. I wish you a good reading.

Yunus Emre (ca. 1240 - ca. 1321 C.E.), a contemporary of Mevlana Jalal al-Din Rumi, is considered to be one of the greatest Turkish poets. His poetry, written in old Turkish language of the common people of the day, expresses a deep personal devotion to Islam, mysticism (Sufism), humanity and love for God, His Last Prophet Muhammad (S) and mankind. He lived at a time of great tribulation following the Mongol invasion and political bickering and unrest that resulted in Anatolia. Yunus traveled among the local rulers as a volunteer for peace, sowing the seeds of love, compassion and unity. Who can deny the need of such an intellectual in the post-9/11 era of world-disorder? His poetry has been...

The Poetry of Yunus Emre, A Turkish Sufi Poet

The popularity of Yunus Emre, who is often referred to as the Turkish national poet, has endured for six centuries. Yunus is the most important representative of early Turkish mysticism; he can be considered the founder of Alevi-Bektasi literature, and his influence on later tekke poetry was enormous. His ilahis (hymns) have played an important role in sufi ceremonies. Grace Martin Smith's translation of Yunus's poetry will acquaint the non-Turkish reader with the art and thinking of one of Turkey's most significant poets and will be helpful to students of both modern and Ottoman Turkish and to all those interested in Islamic poetry and piety.
