Book Description
Winner of the 2015 Book Prize for the Promotion of Social and Personality Science (Society for Personality and Social Psychology) Why are we sometimes blind to the minds of others, treating them like objects or animals instead? Why do we talk to our cars, or the stars, as if there is a mind that can hear us? Why do we so routinely believe that others think, feel, and want what we do when, in fact, they do not? And why do we think we understand our spouses, family, and friends so much better than we actually do? In this illuminating book, leading social psychologist Nicholas Epley introduces us to what scientists have learned about our ability to understand the most complicated puzzle on the planet—other people—and the surprising mistakes we so routinely make. Mindwise will not turn others into open books, but it will give you the wisdom to revolutionize how you think about them—and yourself.

No More Faking Fine
Author: Esther Fleece Allen
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310344778
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Undeniable Cowboy
Author: Debra Clopton
Publisher: DCP Publishing LLC
ISBN: 1646258789
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Something is missing…can Chet find a woman he could let himself love? Can he take the chance on something his childhood has shown him won’t work, something that could mess up the peace he’s found at Sunrise Ranch? Sunset Ranch, a foster home to many boys like Chet Grall had been and always would be the place he now calls home. Grown, he’s remained on the ranch as the top ranch hand to the McDermott brothers—his brothers here where his new life began. But after watching all three of them marry there’s a hollow spot inside him, a spot he’s trying to ignore. April Mallory lives a life all to herself. A much-loved fiction writer—under a pen name, no one knows who she is or her real name. Her entire life has been lived in hiding and now, though there is no longer a need to hide, she has remained a person who keeps to herself. But now, she’s come to Dew Drop, Texas to meet Mabel, a reader whose letter to April—actually to her writing name has intrigued April. Not that she will reveal to the Inn owner who she is, but she couldn’t help but come check out the Sunrise Ranch, the home for foster kids that Mabel has written to her about. She’s here for research, nothing more, but she isn’t counting on a flood, getting swept away and being rescued by a cowboy—a cowboy who immediately took her breath away and made her heart pound like never, ever has it done before. She’ll keep her secrets and then move on…but can she? Mable had been right when she’d said meeting the boys at Sunrise Ranch would be life changing because Chet is one of those foster boys, he’s just all grown up and the stunning cowboy has put her world into an undeniable spin. Can she overcome her past and let love take over? Will the boys and ladies of Dew Drop help make another match of hearts?

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
Author: Haruki Murakami
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307373088
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
From the best-selling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and After Dark, a rich and revelatory memoir about writing and running, and the integral impact both have made on his life. In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Haruki Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and includes settings ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs and the experience, after the age of fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.
