New York, New York, U.S.A.: Crossroad Pub Co, 1994. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Touch of shelfwear to dust jacket. Nice, clean, tight, unmarked copy. Shadows of the Heart explores the positive potential hidden in anger, guilt, shame, and depression. The book's key conviction: our bad feelings can be good news, alerting us to endangered values, alarming us to hopes under siege, and arming us for the tough tasks of change. Filled with lively examples, the book demonstrates how negative emotions can lead to personal growth, spiritual development, and social transformation. Family wounds, cultural temptations, and religious malpractice make it difficult for us to plumb the meaning of our passions; breaking through these obstacles is part of spirituality's healing task. In pursuit of such a spirituality, the authors draw on rich images of the Jewish-Christian heritage complemented by nuances from Chinese religious tradition. In so doing, they speak directly to the contemporary yearning for meaning, the hunger to make sense of our personal and shared lives. The result is a book that comforts, encourages and challenges.., Crossroad Pub Co, 1994, 3, New York, NY, U.S.A.: Bantam Books, 1995. Trade Paperback. Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Daniel Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do well. These factors add up to a different way of being smart--one he terms "emotional intelligence." This includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal and self-motivation, empathy and social deftness. These are the qualities that mark people who excel in life, whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. Lack of emotional intelligence can sabotage the intellect and ruin careers. Perhaps the greatest toll is on children, for whom risks include depression, eating disorders, unwanted pregnancies, aggressiveness and crime. But the news is hopeful. Emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth, and the author shows how its vital qualities can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. And because the emotional lessons a child learns actually sculpt the brain's circuitry, he provides guidance as to how parents and schools can best use this window of opportunity in childhood. The message of this eye-opening program is one we must take to heart: the true "bell curve" for a democracy must measure emotional intelligence. 352 pages.., New York, NY, U.S.A.: Bantam Books, 1995, 0, Sage Publications Ltd, 2009.
