    Even though emotional intelligence lacks the volume of quantitative empirical cognitive research that IQ has, the research in the field of cognitive learning has suggested that emotional intelligence is a key fundamental aspect of education. According to a report published by the National Center for Clinical Infant Programs, the level of success that a student has learned new material boils down to their levels of confidence, self-control, curiosity, their ability to communicate, their cooperativeness, their relatedness, and their intentionality. All these traits are aspects of emotional intelligence. More recently, social scientists are beginning to uncover the relationship of emotional intelligence to other organizational psychologies, such as leadership, group performance, individual performance, interpersonal exchange, performance evaluations, and change management. Humans are social beings, and as such, our level of success when dealing with people is intimately linked with our level of emotional intelligence.

    Simplicity Comes Into Being When...

    Simplicity comes into being when there is freedom from the desire to achieve 
    • One who is sincere can never be simple because he who is trying to be sincere always has the desire to pattern or approximate himself to an idea. 
    • Self-knowledge can be discovered more fully, deeply, widely, only when there is passive awareness, which is not the exertion of will. 
    • In the search for self-knowledge we get caught in self-consciousness. Being caught we make the thing in which one is caught the most important thing. 
    • To go beyond self-consciousness there must be freedom from the desire to achieve a result, because the achievement of a result is what the mind wants. 
    • Q: Would you please explain what you mean by dying daily? 
    • Q: How does a truth when repeated become a lie? What really is a lie? 
    • Q: I think I can help, but whatever I say or do to another is interpreted as interference and as domineering. Why does this happen to me? 
    • Q: What is aloneness? Is it a mystical state?

    Campus Free Speech - A Pocket Guide

    Free speech is indispensable on college campuses: allowing varied views and frank exchanges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise. But free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First Amendment prohibits "abridging the freedom of speech," yet laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional. In the same way, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement? 
     
     
     
    In this pragmatic, no-nonsense explainer, Cass Sunstein takes us through a wide range of scenarios involving students, professors, and administrators. He discusses why it's consistent with the First Amendment to punish students who shout down a speaker, but not those who chant offensive slogans; why a professor cannot be fired for writing a politically charged op-ed, yet a university might legitimately consider an applicant's political views when deciding whether to hire her. He explains why private universities are not legally bound by the First Amendment yet should, in most cases, look to follow it. And he addresses the thorny question of whether a university should officially take sides on public issues or deliberately keep the institution outside the fray.

    During Ezekiel's lifetime, the nation of Israel was in Babylonian captivity. The nation obviously needed deliverance not only from their exile in Babylon, but also from their own dejection. The valley of dry bones is a prophecy that is still relevant to the people of Israel today. As they were promised by God, the people eventually returned to Israel.

    Be popular and good-looking—it's the key to a happy life. Luckily, with a bit of know-how and money, you, too, can have it all. At least, that's what teen pop culture was selling in surround sound at the turn of the millennium. From movies like Clueless to TV's Dawson's Creek to the music videos on MTV's Total Request Live and the catalogs of Abercrombie & Fitch, a consumer-minded ethos drove pop culture storytelling as millennials came of age in the late 1990s and early 2000s. But in the long shadow of the Great Recession, the upwardly mobile aspirations fostered by the era's popular culture and media seem to have been thwarted. Many millennials today lack the wealth their parents had at the same age, and the gaps between rich and poor rival those of the Gilded Age. 
     
     
     
    The Abercrombie Age reconsiders teen popular culture from the turn of the twenty-first century, revealing how it told young people that life not only could but surely would get better. Far from frivolous or forgettable, the era's superficial, materialistic culture sold millennials unrealistic expectations of what life could offer, setting up a stark juxtaposition with the realities of today.

    Covert - The Psychology of War...

    After the tremendous success of The Spy Chronicles, A.S. Dulat and Asad Durrani participated in a series of conversations on the psychology of war and peace; these have evolved into this fascinating book, written with psychiatrist Neil K. Aggarwal.  
    Covert takes the reader right into the head of the two spymasters. Delving into their personal and professional trajectories that moulded them in the early years, the conversation traces the extent to which their Indian and Pakistani identities have defined them. Masterfully moderated by Aggarwal, the discussion then turns to the domain of international relations, exploring why the governments of India and Pakistan collaborate in certain areas, but not in others. What emerges is a remarkably forthright, provocatively honest appraisal of the peacebuilding process between the two nations that appear inherently hostile to each other but share so much in terms of history and cultural identity.  
    The dialogues in Covert reveal a deep camaraderie between Dulat and Durrani, who have headed the intelligence operations for their respective countries. But more importantly perhaps, it provides deep insights into the shadowy world of negotiation and subterfuge. It is an eye-opener and a must-read for anyone invested in peace and amity in South Asia.
