Summary

“Do we really need yet another book about the financial crisis? Yes, we do—because this one is different….A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the mess we’re in.”—Paul Krugman, New York Times Book Review “Fox makes business history thrilling.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch A lively history of ideas, The Myth of the Rational Market by former Time Magazine economics columnist Justin Fox, describes with insight and wit the rise and fall of the world’s most influential investing idea: the efficient markets theory. Both a New York Times bestseller and Notable Book of the Year—longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award and named one of Library Journal Best Business Books of the Year—The Myth of the Rational Market carries readers from the earliest days of Wall Street to the current financial crisis, debunking the long-held myth that the stock market is always right in the process while intelligently exploring the replacement theory of behavioral economics.

    Healing Your Lost Inner ChildYour inner child is the base of your creativity and expression. It is the carefree spirit to love, explore and have fun. When your inner child is healthy and feeling protected, you feel easy to express yourself. However, not everyone had a happy childhood, you may experience neglect, trauma, and deep emotional pain from criticism.  
    In this course, we will first have a coaching session to let go of any guilt. It is easy for a child to take on burdens and feel guilty when things did not go well during childhood. We will let that go. After that, we will do a deep inner child integration process. We reconcile with any parts that felt neglected or abandoned. We reconcile within ourselves and give the parts love and nurture.  
    Then we will do a simple but powerful meditation, the mirror work. We look into our eyes, talk to our inner child, and give complete attention with love and acceptance. This seems like an easy or even boring task but very powerful. Take your time to feel your emotions  
    When you feel integrated, you can do you are enough meditation. This can raise your vibrations from time to time. Also, digs out the toxic thought “I am not good enough”  
    For the affirmations, listen to them as much as possible during the day or sleep. Your subconscious can absorb the ideas effortlessly

Each principle is illustrated with a clinically compiled case plus personal side-notes and storytelling.Topics addressed include:You know that you need to "treat the relationship," but how are you supposed to get at something as elusive as "a relationship"?How do you empathize with both clients if they have opposite points of view?Later on, if they end up separating does that mean you've failed?Are you only successful if you keep couples together?Compared to an individual client, a relationship is an entirely different animal. What should you do first? What should you look for? What questions should you ask? If clients give different answers, who should you believe?Contains mature themes.

    An inspiring battle cry for sanity in the college application process that looks beyond the rankings to successfully determine what’s truly the best school for you or your childAfter spending years as an admissions director at Dartmouth, Becky Sabky had seen it all. The perfect grades, the perfect scores, and the perfect extracurriculars. Valedictorians were knocking at the gate, but Becky realized that in their quest for admission many of these students were missing something. Their transcripts were golden, their interviews polished, but they weren’t applying for college, they were competing for it—and in the end they didn’t know what prize they were really striving for.In Valedictorians at the Gate, Sabky looks beyond the smoke and mirrors of the intimidating admissions gauntlet and places the power firmly where it should be: in the hands of the students themselves. Offering prescriptive, actionable advice for students and their (hopefully not helicoptering) parents, Sabky illuminates the pathway to finding the school that is the ideal match. Witty and warm, informative and inspiring, Valedictorians at the Gate is the needed tonic for overstressed, overworked, and overwhelmed students on their way to the perfect college for them.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company
