HSPs are often empathic, intuitive, and passionate; but they can also struggle with strong emotions. This book will help you understand and balance your emotions, and reframe your emotional sensitivity as a strength—not a weakness. 
   
   
   
  Using skills from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), this evidence-based guide will show you how to increase emotional resilience and learn to appreciate your sensitivity for the superpower it is! With this book, you'll learn to understand and regulate your emotions, "read" your body's physical responses to difficult emotions, and discover effective ways to self-soothe when the outside world feels overwhelming. You'll also find strategies to help you deal with difficult or challenging interactions with others. 
   
   
   
  Emotional sensitivity is a gift; but it's important to learn how to manage your emotions, so they don't get in the way of relationships and reaching your goals. With this book as your guide, you'll find the balance you need to be your very best.

  Against Empathy - The Case for...

  A controversial call to arms, Against Empathy argues that the natural impulse to share the feelings of others can lead to immoral choices in both public policy and in our intimate relationships with friends and family. 
  Most people, including many policy makers, activists, scientists, and philosophers, have encouraged us to be more empathetic—to feel the pain and pleasure of others. Yale researcher and author Paul Bloom argues that this is a mistake. Far from leading us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices. It muddles our judgment and often leads to cruelty. We are at our best when we are smart enough not to rely on it, and draw upon a more distanced compassion.  
  Based on groundbreaking scientific findings, Against Empathy makes the case that some of the worst decisions that individuals and nations make—from who to give money to, when to go to war, how to respond to climate change, and who to put in prison—are too often motivated by honest, yet misplaced, emotions. With clear and witty prose, Bloom demonstrates how empathy distorts our judgment in every aspect of our lives, from philanthropy and charity to the justice system; from culture and education to foreign policy and war. Without empathy, Bloom insists, our decisions would be clearer, fairer, and ultimately more moral. 
  Bound to be controversial, Against Empathy shows us that, when it comes to major policy decisions and the choices we make in our everyday lives, limiting our empathetic emotions is often the most compassionate choice we can make.

  La República de Venecia y la...

  La mística ciudad flotante de Venecia ha despertado admiración durante generaciones, y sigue siendo una de las ciudades europeas más visitadas, y con buena razón. Los turistas se sienten atraídos por la impresionante combinación de arquitectura clásica, gótica y de inspiración renacentista de los pintorescos pueblos y aldeas, los encantadores mercados al aire libre, la deliciosa cocina tradicional y, por supuesto, las famosas góndolas que se deslizan por las centelleantes aguas azules. Si bien estas góndolas, junto con las embarcaciones venecianas de larga tradición de atracadas en los puertos, son una de los vistas más características de la ciudad, sus comienzos se ubican en una parte oscurecida de la historia veneciana.  
  	Para los primeros pobladores de las islas pantanosas y poco promisorias de Venecia del siglo V AC, aquello parecía como si cualquier intento de civilización estuviera condenado al fracaso. Sin embargo, incluso con todas las posibilidades en contra, los diestros habitantes dominaron el terreno inhóspito y poco a poco configuraron una sociedad que colocaría a la pequeña y modesta ciudad en el mapa. Con el tiempo, la ciudad se convirtió en el imperio marítimo más poderoso de Europa.  
  	En un país como Italia, lleno de ciudades famosas, Génova no suele ser la primera que viene a la mente. Si Venecia, Florencia y Roma son tal vez las tres primeras, a menudo les siguen Pisa, Siena y Nápoles, por no mencionar las islas de Cerdeña y Sicilia. De hecho, Génova quedaría hacia el final de una lista mucho más larga, y podría estar más estrechamente asociada con su famoso hijo, Cristóbal Colón, quien al final navegó a España. Para los turistas ávidos, Génova podría ser el punto para quienes deseen visitar la impresionante Cinque Terre en la cercana costa de Liguria.

  A collision with a moose on a dark highway left Susan Mockler with an incomplete spinal injury, suddenly compromising her ability to walk and to care for herself. She spent months in a rehabilitation facility learning how to adjust to her new reality, and though her body partially recovered, every aspect of her life changed.
  		 
  Fractured is a compelling illumination of the challenges of acquired disability and the ways in which people with disabilities are sidelined and infantilised. Mockler, a psychotherapist, speaks with frank honesty about her family and friends’ reactions to her injury, and the hard-won lessons that she and those around her learned from her experience.

  GILLIAN BICKLEY was born and educated in the UK and has lived mainly in Hong Kong since 1970. The poems in Sightings are on Hong Kong, European and personal subjects, accessible to many readers, both young and old. They consider what it is like to be a human being in this modern world, drawing inspiration mainly from the people whom the writer has encountered, especially in Hong Kong. 
  An academic turned full-time writer, editor and publisher, Gillian invites readers and listeners to share her enjoyment of city and country, simple and complex ideas and events, and her empathy with the largely innocent people she has come across. In her trademark transparent style, she draws on events, happenings, creatures, artefacts and objects she has seen, and on places and people she has experienced in Asia, Europe, North America and Africa, as well as on stimulating and memorable books she has read.  
  "She has made use of everyday life situations and turned them into life lessons. Sightings inspires us to slow down and taste the sense of the city."— Ma Kwai Hung, Hong Kong. 
  "The poems in Sightings are witty, poignant, full of memorable images and insights and a total delight." — Professor Ken Pickering 
  "Sightings conveys playfulness and ironic humour. The writer displays, 'a strong ethical sense and a constant and engaging lyricism'." —Marion Bethel, Bahamian poet 
  Bickley has, "a talent for turning the stuff of ordinary life into poetry. She continually surprises and delights by making fresh connections between seemingly disparate situations". — Mrs Margaret Clarke, Oxfordshire. 
  "Gillian Bickley walks around the world with her eyes open, relishing the phenomena she passes".— Harry Guest, Honorary University Fellow, University of Exeter, UK (from his 'Preface' to Sightings).
