    Since the latter part of the twentieth century, breakthroughs in science, like advancements in brain imaging, have sparked a growing fascination with the intersection of emotions and neurobiology. Researchers have come to acknowledge the close connection between the brain and the immune system, the detrimental impact of chronic stress on the human body, and the significant correlation between emotions and health issues such as heart disease. 
    Before this scientific awakening, there was an undue emphasis on academic intelligence by researchers. This bias ignored the reality that intelligence is not a reliable predictor of success and happiness. Instead, emotional intelligence emerges as a more accurate indicator of life trajectory. It encompasses psychological resilience, the ability to persevere in the face of challenges, impulse control, and social skills like empathy. 
    Contrary to earlier beliefs that emotional intelligence was an inherent trait, recent research has revealed it to be a capacity rather than an absolute characteristic. Nevertheless, the formative stage for emotional intelligence is primarily in early childhood. A baby receiving nurturing care is more likely to develop a positive outlook, while a neglected baby may struggle with challenges later in life. Although tendencies toward optimism or pessimism take root early, they can still evolve later on, influenced by one's social network, as emotions tend to be contagious. 
    It's crucial to recognize that complete control over emotions is not feasible. Emotions are a result of the brain processing external feedback and are not consciously regulated. However, individuals can control how they respond to their emotions. The initial step in effective emotional management is being aware of one's emotions, forming the foundation for emotional intelligence.

    A treasury of historical hilarity from the New York Times-bestselling coauthor of America’s Dumbest Criminals! Why exactly is Paul Revere revered when it was Samuel Prescott who made the famous ride? Was the lightbulb really Thomas Edison’s bright idea? Bestselling author and former Saturday Night Live writer Leland Gregory employs his masterful wit to expose historical myths, faux “facts,” strange events, and tales of human stupidity throughout history. You’ll learn that:  * Magellan didn’t actually make it around the world  * As a member of Parliament, Isaac Newton spoke only once, and it wasn’t exactly a statement of political brilliance for the ages  * On April 24, 1898, Spain declared war on the U.S., thus starting the Spanish-American War—and then the U.S. declared war the very next day, but not wanting to be outdone, had the date on the declaration changed from April 25 to April 21  With these and many more stories, Leland Gregory once again highlights the funny side of history.

    The ultimate guide to hosting dinner parties of every size, from choosing guests to choosing themes—includes recipes and menu plans.   Almost everyone likes to socialize over a meal. Supper clubs that bring people together to enjoy a meal are natural enablers. The concept of supper clubs (hosting regular dinner parties) seems simple, but the “how to” can be daunting.  Impromptu Friday Nights shows the reader how to set up supper clubs, provides options for different club formats, from large and formal to small and informal, and includes sample menus with recipes.   Author Paul J. Kenny and his wife have been in many different types of supper clubs for most of their adult lives. They have been in large, formal clubs, small, informal ones and several others in between. Through these experiences, Paul has learned what works for a group and what doesn’t. As part of these clubs, he has been writing menus and recipes for years. He is a foodie and comes from a long line of foodies who love to entertain.   “Paul Kenny’s Impromptu Friday Nights directs the reader to focus on the most important building blocks of successful culinary entertainment . . . In an era of over-promising, misleading complexity, and verbosity this book simplifies the task, empowers the host to shine, and grants him/her success every time.” —Lucien Vendôme, former director of culinary innovation for Nestle

    A life-changing guide to understanding your brain and how to change it—for good.Break Through the Limits of the Brain explores the neuroscience of sacred, superconscious experience. It offers proven ways to break through the brain’s limits into a life-changing, life-enhancing awareness that is beyond our everyday consciousness; an awareness that is intuitive, creative, energized, joyful, and spirit-filled. Selbie explains how and why the brain’s neural circuits reinforce thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep us immersed in limited conscious awareness—and how radical neuroplasticity enables our innate ability to rewire the brain to break through to unlimited superconscious awareness. The book offers many practices: the Hong Sau technique of meditation for deepening concentration, energization exercises for increasing life-force and vitality, methodical introspection techniques for identifying neurally reinforced negative patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior and affirmations for directly rewiring them. These practices will help you bring superconscious awareness into your life that enables, awakens, and supports success, vitality, creativity, health, peace of mind, and lasting, fulfilling happiness.Break Through the Limits of the Brain provides strong scientific support for superconscious awareness; scientific support provided by quantum physics and M-theory for the existence of a subtle, nonlocal reality; a reality in which we exist simultaneously with physical reality; a reality of which we can become aware by breaking through the limits of the brain. The book debunks scientific materialism’s brain-based explanation for consciousness and intelligence—the brain-as-supercomputer model—and explains the view of many prominent and open-minded scientists that an all-pervading intelligent consciousness is not only the source of our own consciousness but also the foundation of reality—an age-old sacred belief shared by saints, sages, mystics, and those who’ve had near-death experiences.Meditation is a central theme of the book—what it is; how to do it; why it works; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for us to experience superconscious awareness and to achieve whatever we put our mind to.
