The Demon Be Damned

Publisher: Sudden Insight Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Demons are created by a mind at war with itself... The demons on Earth are influencing humanity’s path far too much, and devils are finding doorways to the realm that did not exist before. Only a demon created in Heaven and forged in the fires of Hell can make a difference when Heaven and Earth begin to bleed into each other. Only a demon with the power of an angel and the heart of a devil can find a way to drive the devils back to Hell and keep all those demons in check. But why would he want to? God’s back turned on Roche a long time ago. The one most dear to him is by definition his greatest enemy. Roche has no place in Heaven, no friends in Hell, and no fun on Earth. The more his soul descends into darkness, the more he is convinced that reality itself is fundamentally flawed. He must find a way to understand his own existence and reconcile it in a way he can accept. Otherwise, he will have to end all the worlds. The Demon Be Damned is a prequel to the story told in the Walking Between Worlds trilogy. The only witness there from the start is the original demon Roche. His tale goes back, way back…and we have to trace it to the very beginning to see just how vital his role has been in the continued existence of humanity. Recommended reading order Walking Between Worlds: Demons & Angels Rise of the Walker King Fall of the Walker King Before Walking Between Worlds: The Demon Be Damned The Heart of the Dragon (release date TBA)

Words Can Change Your Brain
Author: Andrew Newberg
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101585706
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
In our default state, our brains constantly get in the way of effective communication. They are lazy, angry, immature, and distracted. They can make a difficult conversation impossible. But Andrew Newberg, M.D., and Mark Waldman have discovered a powerful strategy called Compassionate Communication that allows two brains to work together as one. Using brainscans as well as data collected from workshops given to MBA students at Loyola Marymount University, and clinical data from both couples in therapy and organizations helping caregivers cope with patient suffering, Newberg and Waldman have seen that Compassionate Communication can reposition a difficult conversation to lead to a satisfying conclusion. Whether you are negotiating with your boss or your spouse, the brain works the same way and responds to the same cues. The truth, though, is that you don't have to understand how Compassionate Communication works. You just have to do it. Some of the simple and effective takeaways in this book include: • Make sure you are relaxed; yawning several times before (not during) the meeting will do the trick • Never speak for more than 20-30 seconds at a time. After that they other person's window of attention closes. • Use positive speech; you will need at least three positives to overcome the effect of every negative used • Speak slowly; pause between words. This is critical, but really hard to do. • Respond to the other person; do not shift the conversation. • Remember that the brain can only hold onto about four ideas at one time Highly effective across a wide range of settings, Compassionate Communication is an excellent tool for conflict resolution but also for simply getting your point across or delivering difficult news.
