A slap in the face : why insults hurt and why they shouldn't / by Irvine, William Braxton,1952-(CARDINAL)777390;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Insult arsenal -- Words like daggers -- Subtle digs -- Bludgeoned with praise -- Benign insults -- Insult psychology -- World of hurt -- Who gets hurt? -- Why we insult -- Dealing with insults -- Personal responses to insults -- Societal responses to insults -- Insults, the inner game -- Insights.William Irvine undertakes a wide-ranging investigation of insults, their history, the role they play in social relationships, and the science behind them, examining not just memorable zingers, such as Elizabeth Bowen's description of Aldous Huxley as "The stupid person's idea of a clever person," but subtle insults as well, such as when someone insults us by reporting the insulting things others have said about us: "I never read bad reviews about myself," wrote entertainer Oscar Levant, "because my best friends invariably tell me about them." Irvine also considers the role insults play in our society: they can be used to cement relations, as when a woman playfully teases her husband, or to enforce a social hierarchy, as when a boss publicly berates an employee. He goes on to investigate the many ways society has tried to deal with insults-by adopting codes of politeness, for example, and outlawing hate speech-but concludes that the best way to deal with insults is to immunize ourselves against them: We need to transform ourselves in the manner recommended by Stoic philosophers. We should, more precisely, become insult pacifists, trying hard not to insult others and laughing off their attempts to insult us.

Bounce back : the ultimate guide to financial resilience / by Khalfani-Cox, Lynnette,Author(DLC)no2004010209;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-285) and index."There are 12 chapters in Bounce Back. The first two chapters focus almost exclusively on your emotional well-being. Chapter 1 explains what resilience is -- including financial resilience, emotional resilience, social resilience, and physical resilience. Chapter 2 highlights ten core action steps you'll need to take to build your resilience and recover emotionally from any of the Dreaded D's. I firmly believe that without the right emotional preparation and mindset, you won't be able to fully implement the financial steps needed to gain economic security. I'm also going to share with you the wisdom I've learned from a lot of different financial experts: including other money coaches, financial therapists, certified financial planners, psychologists, and others. Furthermore, within each topic or each Dreaded D, I've also tapped the expertise of specialists who work in those areas, as well as everyday people who've lived through these setbacks -- and successfully overcome their challenges. Ultimately, you'll get the benefit of a range of professionals and everyday people who offer tried-and-true advice -- as well as some unique and little-known strategies -- to get you on the road to recovery"--.

Sensitive is the new strong : the power of empaths in an increasingly harsh world / by Moorjani, Anita,1959-author.(CARDINAL)398722;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-203).Empaths not only sense other people's emotions, but also absorb them-- sometimes to their own disadvantage, often leading to overwhelming sensory overload and feelings of confusion or low self-esteem. Their willingness to help and please others might make them prey to opportunists or cause them to give away more energy than they can afford. Moorjani argues that when traits like sensitivity, kindness, and compassion are sorely undervalued, empaths must learn to identify what makes them unique in order to be their most authentic selves, shifting their own trajectory and leading to shift the trajectory of the planet in a more conscientious direction. -- adapted from jacket

Grace beyond the gate : Mother's Battlefield to Faith during Son's Incarceration / by Hovatter, Teresa.;
A single mother of three saw her childhood dreams shattered as she faced a relentless nightmare when her son was arrested on Father's Day. Despite the overwhelming circumstances, her faith became her anchor. With courage, she fought a dual battle – against the legal system and spiritual warfare. It was the darkest, most challenging days of her life. Fear became her constant companion as her faith was put to a tremendous test. During the darkness, signs from God illuminated her path, serving as beacons of hope. She never let go of her faith but also realized how little faith she actually had. As the days turned into years, her faith deepened, and she discovered a newfound purpose. Guided by a divine calling, she transformed her experience into a mission of support, advocacy, and encouragement for others facing similar trials. With unwavering determination, she emerged from despair, not only with her faith stronger but also with a newfound mission from above.
