Passing judgment : praise and blame in everyday life / by Apter, T. E.,author.(CARDINAL)508023;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-304) and index.Introduction -- The beginnings of human judgment -- The chemistry, economics, and psychology of praise -- Blame: the necessity and devastation of guilt and shame -- Family judgments, family systems -- Just friends: praise and blame between peers -- Intimate judgments: praise and blame within couples -- Professional dues: praise and blame in the workplace -- Social media and the new challenges to our judgment meter -- Lifelong judgments."Do you know that praise is essential to the growth of a healthy brain? That experiences of praise and blame affect how long we live? That the conscious and unconscious judgments we engage in every day began as a crucial survival technique? Do you think people shouldn't be judgmental? But, how judgmental are you, and how does this impact your relationships? [The author] reveals how everyday judgments impact our relationships, and how praise, blame, and shame shape our sense of self. Our obsession with praise and blame begins soon after birth. Totally dependent on others, rapidly we learn to value praise, and to fear the consequences of blame. Despite outgrowing an infant's dependence, we continue to monitor others' judgments of us, and we ourselves develop what relational psychologist Terri Apter calls a "judgment meter," which constantly scans people and our interactions with them, and registers a positive or negative opinion. In[this book, the author] reveals how interactions between parents and children, within couples, and among friends and colleagues are permeated with praise and blame that range far beyond specific compliments and accusations. Drawing on three decades of research, [the author] gives us the tools to learn about our personal needs, goals and values, to manage our biases, to tolerate others' views, and to make sense of our most powerful, and often confusing, responses to ourselves and to others."

Who are you to judge? : learning to distinguish between truths, half-truths, and lies / by Lutzer, Erwin W.,author.(CARDINAL)507540;
Includes bibliographical references.Why are we afraid to judge?: the future is here -- Judge not, that you be not judged: should we stop making judgments? -- When you judge doctrine: does what we believe really matter? -- When you judge false prophets: how can we recognize them? -- When you judge miracles: are they from God or the devil? -- When you judge entertainment: how much of Hollywood should we let into our homes? -- When you judge appearances: what is the relationship between beauty and happiness? -- When you judge neopaganism: when does fantasy become reality? -- When you judge ghosts, angels, and shrines: how shall we interpret the spirit world? -- When you judge conduct: can we agree on what is right and wrong? -- When you judge character: what are the marks of integrity?We live in a world that tolerates everything but judgment. What we don't realize is that right judgment is the key to right living. Who Are You To Judge? is Lutzer's word to a culture that hates being told how to live and to a church called to purity. After explaining the difference between judging and being judgmental, Lutzer guides Christians in discerning various critical issues, including miracles, matters of doctrine, and godly engagement with entertainment and culture. With a passion for biblical truth and intolerance for lies, Lutzer is compelling and gut-honest. Who Are You to Judge? calls us to not only embrace the truth, but also to live according to it, speaking the truth in love to a world so desperately in need of both.--Page 4 of cover.

Scorpions' dance : the president, the spymaster, and Watergate / by Morley, Jefferson,author.(CARDINAL)355370;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Arriba -- Defeated -- The Black World -- Monster Of Self-Possession -- Martyrs Of Tomorrow -- Freedom Of Action -- The Shadow -- Women -- The Silent Service -- Honeymoon -- Flattery -- Madman Theory -- Public Relations Job -- Sledgehammer -- Blackmail -- The Who Shot John Angle -- Our Side -- The Sorest Spot -- The Ruse -- Precipice -- Escape -- The Witness -- Magnificent -- Ghastly -- Interrogation -- Puritan Ethic -- Judgment."For the 50th anniversary of the Watergate break-in: The untold story of President Richard Nixon, CIA Director Richard Helms, and their volatile shared secrets that ended a presidency. Scorpions' Dance by intelligence expert and investigative journalist Jefferson Morley reveals the Watergate scandal in a completely new light: as the culmination of a concealed, deadly power struggle between President Richard Nixon and CIA Director Richard Helms. Nixon and Helms went back decades; both were 1950s Cold Warriors, and both knew secrets about the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba as well as off-the-books American government and CIA plots to remove Fidel Castro and other leaders in Latin America. Both had enough information on each other to ruin their careers. After the Watergate burglary on June 17, 1972, Nixon was desperate to shut down the FBI's investigation. He sought Helms' support and asked that the CIA intervene-knowing that most of the Watergate burglars were retired CIA agents, contractors, or long-term assets with deep knowledge of the Agency's most sensitive secrets. The two now circled each other like scorpions, defending themselves with the threat of lethal attack. The loser would resign his office in disgrace; the winner, however, would face consequences for the secrets he had kept. Rigorously researched and dramatically told, Scorpions' Dance uses long-neglected evidence to reveal a new perspective on one of America's most notorious presidential scandals"--
