And Never Stop Dancing: Thirty More True Things You Need to Know Now - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In Dr. Gordon Livingston’s follow-up to his national bestseller Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart, he offers thirty more true things we need to know now. Among the fresh truths he identifies and explores in this book, which has sold more than 50,000 copies in hardcover, are: Paradox governs our lives. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. Marriage ruins a lot of good relationships. We are defined by what we fear. We all live downstream. One of life’s most difficult tasks is to see ourselves as others see us. As we grow old, the beauty steals inward. Most people die with their music still inside of them. Dr. Livingston’s sterling qualities are in evidence again: a clear and deep understanding of the hidden hypocrisies, desires, evasions, and emotional tumult that course through our lives; an unerring sense of what is important; and his own ability to persevereto hopein a world he knows is capable of inflicting unjustifiable and lifelong suffering.
Scroogenomics: Why You Shouldn't Buy Presents for the Holidays - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Christmas is a time of seasonal cheer, family get-togethers, holiday parties, and-gift giving. Lots and lots--and lots--of gift giving. It's hard to imagine any Christmas without this time-honored custom. But let's stop to consider the gifts we receive--the rooster sweater from Grandma or the singing fish from Uncle Mike. How many of us get gifts we like? How many of us give gifts not knowing what recipients want? Did your cousin really look excited about that jumping alarm clock? Lively and informed, Scroogenomics illustrates how our consumer spending generates vast amounts of economic waste--to the shocking tune of eighty-five billion dollars each winter. Economist Joel Waldfogel provides solid explanations to show us why it's time to stop the madness and think twice before buying gifts for the holidays. When we buy for ourselves, every dollar we spend produces at least a dollar in satisfaction, because we shop carefully and purchase items that are worth more than they cost. Gift giving is different. We make less-informed choices, max out on credit to buy gifts worth less than the money spent, and leave recipients less than satisfied, creating what Waldfogel calls "deadweight loss." Waldfogel indicates that this waste isn't confined to Americans--most major economies share in this orgy of wealth destruction. While recognizing the difficulties of altering current trends, Waldfogel offers viable gift-giving alternatives. By reprioritizing our gift-giving habits, Scroogenomics proves that we can still maintain the economy without gouging our wallets, and reclaim the true spirit of the holiday season.

Few grasp the true natureof mathematics - so entwined in our environment and in ourlives. So many things around us can be described bymathematics.

That way,you can track your progress based on the point at which you started.Even more, the questionnaires and checklists will provide you withthe opportunity to develop a vision for your Community. No matterwhere you live or in what type of Community, each resident has a pic-ture of how that Community should look, feel, and operate. The eval-uations allow you to determine how you are progressing toward thatINTRODUCTIONvision, where there are opportunities for improvement, and whatactions should be taken so that the vision can and does become reality.As you read through the book, you may want to gather a groupof other residents to join you in completing some of the evaluations.If you are a member of the Board, you may want to arrange a spe-cial session to discuss the evaluations and the Board’s vision for theCommunity.You may decide to get alternative views from non-Board orCommittee members—in effect, the silent majority of residents—about how they see the Community and its operations.

How to Spot a Liar: Why People Don't Tell the Truth And How You Can Catch Them - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Our bodies, including our brains, have remarkable simi- larities and striking differences. We have the same, funda- mental physical structures—heart, mouth, neck, cerebral cortex, and so on. But I’m a lanky, red-headed male with big ears and beady eyes, and you’re probably not. Add religion, culture, education, and other non-physical char- acteristics to the distinctions between us, and you and I seem even more dissimilar. Could it be true, then, that we broadcast the same signals when we tell lies or feel stress? No, and yes. It’s not true that the eyes of all human beings wander off to the right when they’re lying, but some of them do. It’s not true that all people cross their arms when they don’t want someone to invade their space, but some of them do. We can make a firm statement about only a few things, such as the fact that humans in a state of high anxiety smell really foul.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
